My boys are growing up!
Rolly and Sonny are weaned and we are starting their training. After a few times of just wearing halters, I’ve started working with them and the lead rope. Here’s Rolly.

He’s more shy and tends to want to just stand.

he wants to pull back and jump up. It takes many days of short lessons before they understand the gentle tugging on the halter just means to move forward. As it gets warmer, it is easier (for me) to work with them more.
I also updated most of the alpacas web pages and created a page for Rolly and Sonny. I’ve many plans for the website and the warmer weather is reminding me that my time to do inside work is quickly coming to an end.
wow! raising your own alpacas! How cool is that!!! I love it.
A friend of my absolutely loves alpaca’s and I can see why. They really are the cutest things.
