Snow, snow everywhere….except at Popham
We’ve got plenty of ice for the Gin and tonics though but as so often happens we seem to miss out on the snow. I’ve spoken to both Melanie at Moonsbrook Alpacas and Lyndsey at Dreamfield Alpacas today and they are up to their ankles in and have had enough. We kept the younger animals in last night as we did go down to -6 C but they were all eager to get out to the grass this morning. The water troughs need filling by hand but that is where the quad comes in really useful. One thing about this weather is the alpacas do scrub up nicely.
The second photo is one of our favourite crias from last year. She is out of Little Legend and we called her Inkspot as she has a small brown patch on the side of her neck. She’s a real star.

We had muddy alpacas prior to the cold and snow. Now they all look nice and fresh
Great looking alpacas on the pictures! Congrats.

Thanks Rolf, we still haven’t had much snow and as the alpacas are nice and clean I’ve had the boys in the barn and taken some photos of their fleece which I’ll put on the next blog. I’ve had a look at your blog….-45C now that is cold. I don’t know why we’re complaining here!!!!
