Alpacas de Gredos: Pasture Preparation and Tomorrow's Rotation

Tomorrow morning we will move the 9 hembras and 2 machitos to the summer pastures, which we call "Zero". The zero pastures are lush and ready for grazing. The alpacas spent six weeks there in mid-spring. The pastures have regrown their grasses, and the wild boar have been through only once in the last few weeks.

They really do look to you for food!
It will be interesting to see the Zero pastures!

For now, food is my best choice for building trust.

Full Face, Up Close 14 July 2024
Look straight in his face.
Creature from another world?
A space alien
Or else an angel?
Surely he's something higher
Than the other beasts.
Nitos has a mind.
It shows clearly in his face,
Perfect companion.

Do alpaca herds split when they reach a certain
size, like bee hives do? Do alpacas swarm?

[@alpacasdegredos]

I have not seen the "swarm" 😀
I have seen the "spit" at 3 or 4 months ...
