The New 'Kid' on the Farm

Meet "Peter" the newest addition to the farm. This is the Suri alpaca that was in the previous blog, but he is now sporting his summer haircut.Peter arrived this afternoon and is settling in nicely. He's had a busy day--sheared, immunized, toe nails trimmed, and then moved to his new home. He'll be in private quarters for 2 weeks and then we'll introduce him to the neighborhood alpacas. (They were really checking him out as I walked him to his new pen--surprised they don't have sprained necks!)

Dawn (the previous owner) got "Peter" when he was very young and was very good at getting him accustomed to human contact. He's very friendly and comes over to investigate everyone and everything that is near his fence.

Jonathan loves having an alpaca that lets him get close.
