Three Old Gentlemanvu 257 foisThese 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 Donkeyvu 655 foisMerlin, the Guernsey bull, shares his field with two donkeys (Pedro and Geofredo), a zippy horse, and three elderly alpacas.

The Three Alpacasvu 200 foisOur 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.

Westbrook Sharing His Troughvu 1015 foisWestbrook, 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 Pigsvu 415 foisA 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.
