Not just Spain won our second world cup -yes, for this kind of events we return to be Spanish-, we have also had an easy, smooth birthing season.q I do have to apologise for having a life that gives me plenty of things to think about, beside making our milestones public. But here I amContinue reading “We’re celebrating!!”

While I find the time and inspiration to update on the news and olds, here’s a picture. Guess how many crias we have so far?
The Arrival of Stride of Titan!
We are absolutely thrilled to share the newest addition to our herd (at last!). Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Stride of Titan. Titan, a handsome, strong baby cria born yesterday on the farm, comes from an exceptional line of genetics, and we have high hopes for his future. We can’t waitContinue reading “The Arrival of Stride of Titan!”
Cool alpaca
Coming up to a break in the heat of the summer, we take a look at our herd and how we’re coping with the weather. With the harsh landing of this summer, our daily routine shifted toward heat management. Alpacas are remarkably resilient, but their thick fleeces turn them into walking ovens once the thermometerContinue reading “Cool alpaca”
Gracing and Glowing
The pasture is getting a little bit cozier—and a lot rounder! We are absolutely thrilled to share some incredibly exciting pictures of our baby watch! Our beautiful girls are expecting, and we can already see those adorable, distinct little cria bumps, as we like to call them! Right now, they are spending their days doingContinue reading “Gracing and Glowing”
Why Are Our Alpacas Taking Ages to ‘Unpack’?

So far, we’ve introduced Grace, Stardust, Peggy and Blight… today it’s Ameera’s turn in the spotlight! 🦙✨ Ameera was one of our very first alpacas and has certainly earned her place as the matriarch of the herd. She’s also our most prolific mum, with an impressive collection of crias including Aramis, Jorge Helium, Dora andContinue reading “Ameera’s next masterpiece”
Stud
Willowbrook Jackpot. With that name, he can only bring good things with him. Strong bet for an unproven male this year. He definitely showcases a pair, which was the most significant physical feature we noticed. Very important for his job. Jackpot is part of the Kestle gang. We are very impressed with this male. ThisContinue reading “Stud”
Blinding Lights
Very peculiar name for this one. Aka Blight, this girl is also expecting soon. She has been in Kestle for over a year now, well settled and a very moody pregnant lady by now. I think she’s having enough of the extra weight she’s carrying. This will be her first cria. We hope she passesContinue reading “Blinding Lights”
A very special addition to come
The countdown is still on at Kestle Alpacas! 🦙 We think Peggy may be the first of our girls to give birth this season, and we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of her cria. Peggy was mated to Emperor’s Quest, this pairing promises to be a very special addition to the Kestle Alpacas herd. Peggy isContinue reading “A very special addition to come”
