New alpacas

Here's Sebastian born on 7th July. He's a very cute and sturdy little chap. He gets into everything but is a bit of a mummies boy, though he seems very taken with Josie and follows her everywhere she goes.

This is Josie, the latest edition to our alpacas herd. That's two boys and two girls this year making our herd 13 strong now.

Josie was born very quickly. From start to finish the whole process, from first sign to taking her first drink, took only 35 minutes. The fastest birth so far.

Some of the females, including three of last years babies who are now old enough, have been mated with "Dud the Stud". He's an alpaca stud I found locally called Dudley.
