The Llama Arrival

We went down this morning and let the llamas out of the trailer. I pulled it into their pasture with the tractor, the truck would have got stuck in the mud. We planned to take pictures or videos of them being turned out but it was raining.


The one in front is the male, Paddy. The girls are Bonnie, the light colored one. Martha is the brown one in the back, she's Paddy's mom.

Speedy was still a little agitated by the new arrivals but he seems to be getting used to the idea. The sheep don't care.

Paddy seems to be the dominant one. He stays out in front mostly. We plan on putting Bonnie in with Speedy. Martha and Paddy will be with Dolly.

I think Speedy wanted to go in with the new ones. They've been running around and grazing all day. It looked like he wanted to join in the llama games.

They like the spot there in the corner. It's the highest elevation in that pasture so it gives a good view. We hope they will provide better security for the sheep and young calves. Wish them luck!
