While the alpacas remain clean and dry in this icy weather Felicia and I decided to get the intermediate males (2008 cria) in and have a look at their fleeces. We also weighed them all and checked them over and I’m pleased to say all are doing well even in these conditions. We were very pleased with some of the fleeces especially our new brown suri male Cosmo. We have still not had much in the way of snow, the ice remains but things are beginning to thaw out this morning. The water in the fields isn’t running yet but I don’t think it will be much longer. The rheas have survived it all very well which is a relief. They have had shelter but have never used it!!!!
