Vi hadde noe sludd for noen dager siden, men idag snødde det skikkelig for første gang denne vinteren. Alpakkaene fra Australia har ikke sett snø før, så det ble en opplevelse fylt av furundring og glede. De visste ikke helt hvordan det skulle takles, men etter noen minutter hoppet og rullet de i snøen! Synd vi ikke hadde videokameraet med ut! Som dere ser under er det ikke så voldsomt med snø enda. Ca 5-7cm, men det er meldt snø resten av uka. Vi tenkte vi skulle ta bilder av alpakkaene i snøen, men når kona legger ut nytt høy kom de inn i en viss fart!
Gamlejentene fikk se mengder av snø sist vinter, så de klarer seg fint.
The first snowfall for the Australian alpacas
We had some sleet fall a few days ago, but today we had the first real snow of the winter. The Australian alpacas have never seen snow before and their first experience was one of wonder and confusion at first, before they started jumping around and rolling in the snow! Too bad we didn’t have the video camera with us! Not too much snow so far, just 5-7cm, but the weather forecast says it will snow all week. We were thinking about taking pictures of the alpacas in the snow, but when wife started shuffling out new hay the alpacas came rushing in!
Our old girls have no problems with the snow as we checked them today. They experienced last winter, when we had lots and lots of snow.

WOW,... your photos look fantastic, I do like your hay manger !..the alpacas are really funny in the snow ! They seem to loose the ability to be graceful...but they do like to roll in it. We have had lots of rain here in Scotland, the land is soaking wet. Still we have the snow to look forward to. Your new alpacas look lovely....Jayne
