Fleece photos
We haven't taken any photos of our girl's fleeces for a while & as they will be getting sheared soon, I thought it was about time. I have to admit i'm pretty impressed with them, especially Marlposa, who is now 8 years old & still only 18 micron!

Alpacas vs Humans - who is smarter
I like to think of myself as fairly intelligent, well above a four legged animal at least. Yet again this weekend it was proved that is not the case!
It was time to do some more halter training & our oldest female, Marlposa, a peruvian import knows exactly what to do to make my life as difficult as possible. As soon as you want her to do anything, she drops straight to the floor & refuses to move for anyone. At about 65kg she knows that's too heavy to be dragged like a sleigh (although it doesn't stop me trying!).
So round 1 goes to the alpaca - but I will be back......
Anyway here's a couple of photo's of our efforts.
PS how does my wife manage to look so glamourous whilst working on a farm? Answers on a postcard please!
