25.01.2022 Mina came in this morning with 2 very cute little ram lambs. They are both quite small, but she's raised twins before so fingers crossed it all goes well this time too.

25.01.2022 Cecilia's mother died when she was 2 days old, she's doing OK on the bottle :)

21.01.2022 16/03 second cab off the rank, only 10 minutes after Pepper, was Sugar (agistee), who also had a female cria (to Morse), she's been named Erinann and is a bottle baby, though mum is providing the care :) Seen here just after her bottle and pretty much in a milk coma LOL

21.01.2022 Come on Zsa Zsa, its day 368..... give it up!

21.01.2022 Suri Llama working/proven stud Male

20.01.2022 Good Friday was cold and wet, but that's when Ripper had her Megastar cria, a dark fawn female we've named Sadie, she too was towelled and coated so hard to see fleece type yet.

20.01.2022 A llama baby next, first baby for Mareebah (and Avatar), welcome No Money Down, he and Xanny are firm friends already!

19.01.2022 We had a day off, and then 19/03 we were back into it with a first baby for Spice (and Rezeki), a white female. Mum is doing a good job, and bubs is very cute.

19.01.2022 Two female crias born today, a dark fawn huacaya for Zarina (and Megastar) and an HUGE suri (9.45kg) appaloosa for Blue Stocking (and Dreamy).

19.01.2022 Our last llama cria for the season was this fabulous dark grey gril, she was born 26 April, mum is Gidget, dad is Morse. We've named her Hello Mary Lou and she's the most inquisitive cria in the house!! NFS

19.01.2022 Yesterday was a day for mostly white with a bit of fawn girls to be born ... Lucy gave birth Marlene (on the Wall) (alpaca) and Bianca gave birth to Cherry (Cherry Pie) (llama) :) Both girls were practising their 'paint me like your French girls' look!!

18.01.2022 Today's new arrivals, a white and med fawn female for Mortisha (and Megastar) and a black male for Lempi (and Ez). They are in undercover to keep them out of the chilly wind

17.01.2022 Violet's lamb, Snowdrop, is growing like a mushroom!

17.01.2022 Lamb update, Mina with her boys Pharaoh and Phantom, and Alana's twins Jack and Jill

17.01.2022 On Sunday Elvina gave birth to a female cria with odd eyes, I thought she was white initially, but she has MF on her head and hips, so possibly fully hearing, not just one ear! We've called her Frente

14.01.2022 Some of my Runners, front and centre is my Campbell x Runner duck, who this season decided to colour up as a drake after several years of being a good egg laying duck! At the rear and to the right is my black Runner who grows curly drake feathers, but quacks like a duck. He/she does not lay or fertilise eggs :( Photography by Nelly Xiao

13.01.2022 16/03 third for the day was a male cria for Waminda (and Avatar), he's been named Xanny. Waminda is a first time mum, but she's doing an excellent job :)

11.01.2022 Last one on 17/03 was a llama, a male cria for Shakira (and Morse), we've called him Teddy Brown, this is Shakira's first baby, its been a very long wait!!

11.01.2022 Yesterday we had a visit from Zali, Quinn and their mum, Mandie. Everybody enjoyed meeting the llamas and then a hot and hearty lunch on a very cold day.

10.01.2022 The twin lambs all growing well, and always together :)

10.01.2022 Several lambs born this week, first was Katie with a white ewe lamb, then Licorice had a black ram lamb. Unhappily mothering didnt come naturally to her and she lost him within the first 24 hours :( Meanwhile her twin sister Cocoa had a moorit pied ram lamb and she has maternal instinct in spades. Quinn had a black ewe lamb and she is also very protective. Lastly No name ewe, ear tag 111, had twins, no idea on sex of those yet.... they better be ewes to even up the count a bit!!

09.01.2022 Saturday was a brown day, with 2 med brown Megastar crias born, a male - Jethro (Tull) for Iris and shortly afterwards a female - Adele for Zeena

09.01.2022 Today, Baboushka had her stitches removed. The wound has healed perfectly, and she has adapted very well to life with one eye.

07.01.2022 Forgot Pingu's little cutie (by Megastar) on 20/03, male cria. Still deciding on a name. He's another live wire!!

06.01.2022 Helpers Amy and Scarlett worked hard today, there was a lot of llama cuddles, some halter training for the weanlings, and then back to the house for fun with chickens followed by doggie time. Thanks girls for all your hard work :)

06.01.2022 On Thursday Winnie gave birth to a med brown male cria, we've called him XTC, sire is Sunrise. Hard to tell what his fleece is like as he was towelled dry and is newly uncoated today.

06.01.2022 Polish bantam chickens hatching today, I think there are 12 so far :)

06.01.2022 St Patricks Day was full on with 4 births, first was a med fawn female cria for Pup (and Megastar). Welcome Queen of Hearts

05.01.2022 Yesterday Alana didnt come in for brekkie, so I guessed she'd had her lamb/s up on the hill. It was shrouded in thick fog so I couldnt find them, today she arrived on the periphery of food queue with twin lambs in tow. She wouldnt let me very close, one is definitely a ram, the other I hope is a ewe :) First time mum is doing a good job so far.

05.01.2022 Next came a light brown boy for Vynka (and Megastar)

04.01.2022 Lastly we come today, which started badly with a pre-dawn placenta previa delivery for Princess Belle. Sadly as I wasnt there, an otherwise healthy baby passed away. Mid morning cheer up was a normal delivery for Tilly, a light brown female, as yet un-named.

03.01.2022 Over 25ml of rain so far... the ducks are loving it!

02.01.2022 Tallyman and XTC happy in their new home with their happy new owners :)

02.01.2022 First lamb for the season, not Alana who I was expecting to be first, but her mum Violet. One white ram lamb, big and healthy, she's not bringing him down the hill to meet the rest of the gang yet, maybe tomorrow.

02.01.2022 Sunday - 22/03 - got off on the wrong foot with a stillborn cria for Patchouli (and Argyle) :( but ended on a better note with a SLB female cria for Harriet (sold to Paca Heaven) (and Kismet), she is a tiny little thing but very lively!! She's been named I am I said, paddock name Ami

02.01.2022 Our farm volunteer Amy helped out this weekend so we used her help to start halter training a group of young alpacas. Amarande did not want to be halter trained... she said! Later she walked very well... phew!

01.01.2022 What is it with white suri crias?? Today I put Baboushka in the back seat and headed off the vet with her because of her eye injury. Unhappily it had developed a melting ulcer and she had to have the eye removed. Looks a bit of mess now, but she'll soon be back with the herd, for now she and mum are confined to the undercover area.

01.01.2022 Today Snickers went to his new home, it was his 5th and hopefully last trip in the back seat of the car!! He was pretty good, got settled into a cush quickly, but I had to stop for 2 lots of roadworks and each time he got up to 'see'!!
