“Old Ladies” waiting to come in from Pasture |
ACR
Leggers Roo Girl (age 22) |
When our alpacas retire, they’ve got a home with us. We
have 11 retirees ages 17 to 22 years old in our flock of 55 alpacas.
Roo is senior at 22. Most have given us a legacy of generations of
descendants, though a few are rescues.
Some take an occasional job as a companion, and many still contribute fine
fleece to our clip.
But regardless, for so long as they can have a good quality of life, we’re
pleased to care for and enjoy them.
Keeping Everyone Cool
Summers are a quieter time since most of our
breeding and birthing is in spring and fall,
but keeping everyone cool is always a challenge. Pregnant ladies & crias go on
pasture at 7 am,
then line up around 11, file into the barn, cush in their favorite spots
and chew their cud
until temps cool down in the evening. The evaporative cooler keeps the barn at
68 degrees even on the hottest days.
Sometime it’s hard to stay awake. The boys stay cool with shade and fans and
wet downs.
