Profile Pics and Pedro

Here are some profile shots Ruth, in case you can see any family likenesses!!

Is this a Callisto head - she was a typical Callisto baby when born!

And is this a logical Jemma/Joeley progression?

Next time I am going to ear tag them BEFORE shearing day, come hell or high water!!

Pedro was helping us in the yards today, he is such a well behaved boy, a really gentle giant :)

Oh Pedro!!

Not long after the lovely Pedro arrived at our farm, he found a way over the fence and into the girls paddock, we've since fixed that!!  We found him one Sunday morning trash talking the boys in the next paddock and away from the girls and thought phew!! no damage done...  But now... Wia (alpaca) has given birth to a baby who is plainly 'llama-ish'!!  And the dates fit with Pedro's visit.  Luckily he is a little cutie and we will raise him as a llama :)  Clever little boy was born on my birthday - welcome to the world Cumberbatch :)

Pedro - Corner Paddock at Brekky time

Pedro has settled in well, he is sharing his paddock with JayJay and Cleo, who for the most part give him a wide berth, but at least he can see other llamas every day!!  He is such a magnificent animal!  Here he is enjoying his brekky, nom nom nom :)

JayJay and Cleo keep a watchful eye on Pedro's every move!

Pedro's first day on the job

Hardly been here 24 hours and Pedro is hard at work!  JayJay was supposed to be pregnant to Carter, but plainly she was bluffing!

Next he tried to chat up Trinket, but she flatly and firmly refused to entertain his advances, and he ended up with a face full of spit, hence his sulky saggy bottom lip expression.  Even so you can see he is a devilishly handsome fella!

He looks very much at home in landscape.

Eddy rigged up and filled the new water trough under Peter's watchful eye.

New llamas!!

Today, little Misty arrived, she was born in November, same as Noisette, so I hope they will become good friends.  Misty is as cute as a button!

Misty arrived with her mum Michelle and her dad Pedro.  Misty and Michelle are in the home paddock and had to be read the house rules by Fresian, who laid it on pretty thick!!

But a good lesson is a fast lesson, and Misty and Michelle seem quite at home already.

Pedro is in the corner paddock, and hasnt figured out that all food and human contact will be at this end of the paddock, not the far end where he is hovering at present.  He is a stunning boy, a gentle giant, looking forward to spending some time with him, he is an experienced pack llama.  Hopefully will be able to call him in tomorrow with food!!  Pics then ;-D
