Within the Diamond Saga, Netherite is a very special girl. Even though all the alpacas in this group showcase very good behaviour, Netherite and Stardust are particularly calm and tame. However, as the pregnancy advances, Netherite is becoming more challenging when it comes to nail trimming. She has decided that sitting on the floor isContinue reading “Kestle Netherite”

Kestle Quechua
Within the Diamond Saga, Quechua is the only male from this bloodline we currently retain in our farm. We are watching him grow, observing how he develops and if the traits he displays are the ones we need to preserve and pass on. Males have to be outstanding to be used for breeding as theyContinue reading “Kestle Quechua”

Capturing the Beauty of Our Dams (or not)
I decided I was going to take some pictures to show how nice the dams are looking. They were a bit wet, as the weather did not follow the forecast as always, but also they were not interested in having pictures taken. They would move away, turn their heads, walk behind one another… The picturesContinue reading “Capturing the Beauty of Our Dams (or not)”
If my animals understood words

Best friends
One of those relationships you have to enjoy while it lasts, as you know there’s an unavoidable end to it. The Boy and the Girl:
Versions of H2O
We did not have much of it since the summer, which was rather wet for a summer. Then in November came the rain, the wind, some snow, then a very heavy rainfall that left the surface covered in a raging torrent. Clearing the water bed was not so much fun. The debris from branches andContinue reading “Versions of H2O”
Moving on
This is the boy. Every year we get a boy, year after year, a one single boy. And for a long time, each one of the boys get to be called the boy until eventually we come across a name we think suitable for the particular animal. So far, after nearly five months, this oneContinue reading “Moving on”
