Here are two of our recent additions to the homestead, a pair of Huacaya Alpacas . They were the reason for our 6 hour road trip to eastern Wisconsin today. The one facing me is the female, Maybell and the one that has his back to me is the male, Goldie. The llamas who were next door all came in to meet their soon to be pasture mates. We now have five alpacas. I will try to get some better pics of the whole herd soon. It was a nice day for a drive and we haven't been to the eastern part of the state very often.
Here is a pic of me with the Green Bay part of Lake Michigan behind me. You can just make out dark patchs on the horizon, that is the Door Peninsula We were out on a breakwater near the Oconto WI. harbor. The wind was very,very refreshing! We did not spend much time sight seeing since we were expected to pick up the alpacas. I did snap a few pics , Ann next to a anchor display and a Bald Eagle.
We hope we will be able to explore that part of the state a little more this coming summer.
Not sure who looks colder,Ann or the eagle!
After our conversation this week, I decided to look up what a group of llamas or alpacas is called. It turns out, there doesn't seem to be any agreement on this matter. It appears, "herd," or "flock" is most used. However, "drove" has also been used!
