Kindergarten starts again







With weaning complete, school starts again for the cria at Rocaro Alpacas.

Step one is catching each cria and introducing them to their new best friend the halter. If you are familiar with horse halters, cria halters are miniscule in comparison.

Most of the kids took well to the halters; Bartholomew made all kinds of noise and Bacio was none to patient while I found the buckle hole in all her fibre.

They were quick to run outside into the sun as soon as they were "dressed". The halters will stay on for a few days and then lead training begins.
