Olive becomes a mum – it’s a boy!

Just beautiful

Well, we’re dead proud of our Olive. She was the first alpaca born here at Pistyll Gwyn, and last year we mated her with Dylan, who was born here a couple of months after her.

Her first cria arrived yesterday, in typical alpaca style – no fuss, lots of interest from the rest of the herd, and everything carrying on as normal within a few hours.

He is a gorgeous light fawn colour, but as yet has no name …
