Alpacas - Easter Week-end264 x bekekenTwo of our elderly Alpaca gentlemen showing off on Easter Week-end, 2004

Three Old Gentleman267 x bekekenThese three old gentlemen --- Batman, Brad, and McVit --- are all that's left from our small herd of alpacas. We decided, after our visit to Peru, that nobody in their right mind would pay 4,000 or more for an animal that has one cria a year (if you're lucky) and can produce enough fibre for a 45 sweater each season. But they sure are cute.

Merlin and a Donkey670 x bekekenMerlin, the Guernsey bull, shares his field with two donkeys (Pedro and Geofredo), a zippy horse, and three elderly alpacas.
|
|
The Three Alpacas216 x bekekenOur three alpacas are getting on in years --- they are circa 13 or 14 years old. These three gentlemen were born at Lucies Farm. They remind me of three old bachelors, playing cards and smoking cigars.

Alpaca Shearing at Lucies Farm324 x bekekenThis is the third alpaca to be sheared. He watched the shearers tie up the other alpacas' legs, so he's a bit more crafty.

Pigs Lined Up At The Fence5575 x bekekenThe young Tamworth boars (red) and young Berkshire boar, Westbrook (black) line up at the fence --- with the alpacas in the background.

Three Sheared Alpacas613 x bekekenThey look a bit skinny and sad, but it was hot today (July 3 2005) and I bet they were pleased to be out of their thick alpaca wool "sweaters."

Lennox Checking Out the Alpacas142 x bekekenLennox having a good look at the three alpacas, and the alpacas having a good look back.

|
Westbrook Sharing His Trough1029 x bekekenWestbrook, our Berkshire pig, is sharing his food with the three alpacas. Certainly a strange combination, but they seem to get along just fine.
|
|
Alpacas, Chickens, and Pigs451 x bekekenA bit of summer sunshine at Lucies Farm. The three male alpacas are always together, and don't seem all that bothered by the presence of pigs and chickens. I love when the pigs lie down for a rest, and the chickens peck at (I suppose) tiny insects in the pigs' ears.
