My mom loves alpacas. Years ago for mother’s day Wonder Boy and I found the perfect gift for her – an opportunity to help on an alpaca farm during shearing day. It was really fun and we learned a lot.
This past weekend I visited Una Luna Alpaca Farm with my mom. It was crazy. The place had somewhere around 80 alpacas on their land – they were everywhere! What’s great is that one of the pastures is really the farm’s front yard. And I can assure you, their grass did not need cutting.
All of the alpacas had recently been sheared. The end results made for some funny hairdos. My favorite was this chappie who looked like a stoned surfer dude.
Another looked like he had an afro – check out the reddish-brown one in the back.
And then, of course, there were the babies. How do you not like baby alpacas?!?
One of the highlights of our visit for the alpacas was when the owners turned on the sprinkler, knowing it would get all of the animals to come nearer and get their photos taken. Apparently being an alpaca in the summer is hot business so several took turns either sitting directly on or standing right over the sprinkler head.
