Everyone got shorn to-day! I got everyone, except for the babies, haltered up ahead of time for once. What an amazing experience. Shun kept us all in order with Helen’s help and between Simon, Robyn and myself we had a very smooth operations team. They were all pretty good, very different the way they handled the experience – I think it must tickle. We even got Ambrose and White Knight shorn. They all have different haircuts and differing styles of gorgeousness. I thought it would be so much harder and take far longer, 2 hours all up including coffee!

The Snip!
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Ambrose and White Knight were both castrated. I thought it would be a traumatic experience for us all. However with careful instructions from wonderful vet, Monique, and experienced help from Robyn it was fine. Both boys were calm and relaxed and didn’t seem to feel any pain. Afterwards they wandered back up the hill with the rest of the herd.
In the meantime Spangles decided that Lovely Linda was looking (smelling?) very attractive and she obviously thought he was alright too so we had another mating.
Boys Hanging Out
Monday, March 23rd, 2009Went up to see the herd (can’t say girls anymore) this morning. Very pleased to see me. They come down as far as the wooden gate. Tansy sort of lies down and waits for them to come past then bounds up to greet (hunt?) them. They are totally un-bothered by her. Emma and Tansy were cleaning up the dropped pellets and sort sniffed noses as they tried for the same pellet, funny as.
The boys are hanging out! White Knight and Ambrose are sniffing noses and sort of going off from the others. Not really playing but hanging around with each other. Ambrose has rolled in llama dung and looks a bit disgusting. The bits of shit stick to his fur. Maybe he got behind an adult while they were pooing. Tried to get it off but Ariel got stroppy, as you would expect.

Ambrose
Saturday, March 21st, 2009Ambrose was born Sunday 8 March 2009. His dam is Llama Lookout Apricot Ariel
All good here
Thursday, March 19th, 2009Went went up to see the girls (and Boys) this morning. Girls weren’t where they usually hang out and that was a worry, what with that helicopter action. Eventually found them right down by the house eating the gorse. Ambrose is getting really tame, could have easily touched him, but didn’t. He did an amazing kick out at his big cousin White Knight. Naomi spat in the food, no-one else was very interested after that. Took these pikkies.
