We have two new alpacas - Ciara and Plunkett (formerly Popham Acoria and Quelvehin Ghost) to fit in with our Irish names theme for our llamas and alpacas. They are Suri alpacas. Seamus, Brendan and Amelie are all huacayas. Suris have a very different fleece from huacayas - it is fine, lustrous and naturally falls into ringlets.
We collected mum and son from the Alpaca Delvelopment Association show at Vierzon at the weekend. We were delighted to see Plunkett win 2nd prize in his class! It was also great to see Steve and Jayne Parker, the people we bought our alpacas from, do increcibly well. They got best-in-show!
Here is a photo of Ciara and Plunkett. It's not a great one. They're in the stable at the moment, and every time I go in with the camera, they come trotting over at once and get too close. We'll be putting them outside tomorrow so I should be able to get some better photos soon.
