Milly, Molly, Mandy

The lambs are getting bigger, and spending more time outside, soon it will be time to let them join the herd and be grown up sheep!!  They are very keen to go out each morning and play, especially Milly who is a great climber!!

Nap time in the yards on a foggy morning.

Ody and Mehitabel, almost always together, hard to believe there is only 2 weeks difference in age!

Sevana, starting to look a bit chubby, really hoping she is finally pregnant :)

Milly, Molly, Mandy Update and Llama Selfies

Milly, Molly and Mandy are growing up and getting big!  They love their 'free time' in the yards after the llamas and alpacas have left.  They have to be supervised during this time as we have yet another pesky fox hanging around!!  MMM are down to 2 feeds a day which is making life less hectic!

Ody and Mehitabel continue with their lead and halter training, both are walking well now, AND putting up with silly selfie shots!!  LOL!!

Sherrie has a gammy leg at the moment, and has not coming in for brekkie, so I took her some in her creek bed hide out!  Hopefully time will cure it, because she is a cranky old thing and its impossible to do much for her.  That said she managed to come in today, so she must be feeling a bit better :)

Halter Training

There has been a lot of halter training going on.  Pierre and Farquhar were on a refresher course, as Victor Hugo and Yves are at present.  And there is on going training for our young llamas, Ody and Mehitabel.  Mehitabel was very nervous about the whole thing until I started walking her with Ody, who is supremely quiet and confident.  Mehitabel is much happier to walk now, even on her own :)

Two Visits with Scarlett and Oh Pedro!!

No posts for a little while and I've been to visit Scarlett twice!!  The first visit was March 29:

And the next one on April 4 - Easter Saturday, when I was able to deliver her birthday parcel from her great grandmother:

Apparently what was written on the card was hilarious!!

On Monday, March 30, Misty ended all the speculation about is she pregnant or isn't she by delivering a very pretty female cria.  Every autumn the fences that have entirely adequately held Pedro in his paddock fail to provide any obstacle at all to his wander lust (?) and he takes himself off, and has sex with whom ever he pleases!!  He does seem to choose the female I would least like him to mate with, the first time it was a smallish alpaca girl - and Cumberbatch was the result.  This time it was his daughter and Mehitabel is the result.  Once again we made repairs to the what we thought must be 'the low bit' of the fence and hopefully this will be the last of the unauthorised crias!!
