Alpacas love water

LOL this is a bad angle so I cut Dave out. He's spraying the alpacas legs and bellies with water. They love getting sprayed. Usually they jump around and play in the water but Jenni is due any day now and the last thing she wants to do right now is jump around. As soon as the baby is born I'll post some pictures of her.

Oh LOL! I didn't realize until I saw this picture... we accidently sheared part of Ruby's top knot off! Not to worry, it'll grow back! ;)


For some helpful tips on shearing, visit our article on Alpaca Shearing Tips. By looking at Ruby's head you can see we still make some mistakes when we shear. It's quite a learning process but don't get discouraged. If you have any questions about shearing please feel free to contact us and we'd be more than happy to help out.
