Just look at those faces! And that wool! Oh, I am in love! Seriously in love with these 2 guys. For now anyway. While they're still at Susan's farm. We'll see how I feel next week. She's delivering them here Sunday. I may change my mind and send them back. Who knows? We shall see. But right now, at this moment, looking at their pictures, I am in love with them. Total Alpaca love.
This morning, I was at the Alpaca farm, ready to help with the gelding. She had 8 to do. The vet was supposed to be there at 11. Huh! Was he? No. Not til about 12:30. We had already gotten al 8 boys in a small pen so we could get halters on them. We did the 2 white Suri's first. Then my white one was going to be next, til the vet saw he only had 1 testicle. It's either not come down yet, or because of the stress, went UP, or some other reason. So we decided to leave him that way. since we'd geld the red one. Then when we shear them, the shearer can cut his fighting teeth.
Then it was Baryshnikov's turn. He went on down and they did their thing. But I noticed he was bleeding a bit more than I thought he should be. So the vet put some gauze inside the wound. After he got up, his legs were really bloody. So the vet just did some sutures. I hope he'll be ok. He's so sweet.
I can't wait til Sunday now. I took tons of pictures of course. I'll post more later. Have a great weekend!

Oh my heavens. They are rather cute and funny looking. I still can't believe you got them! How often can you shear them and how much wool will you get?
Kristin, they are sheared once a year in spring. I have no idea how much wool I'll get from these 2 guys. I can't wait to get it though!
