1st January 2014 - Happy New Year everyone! Outside it's blowing hard with very heavy rain, and I think a day mostly indoors keeping warm and dry is probably the best plan, starting with this post!
This morning we waved goodbye to two of our intermediate boys Agent and Touchwood, as they went off to their new home with Liz and Gus who already have some of our older boys. I know they will be well cared for and loved, and they're very nearby, so I often drive past their field and will see them from time to time.
We weaned the crias last week, we had a couple of dry and sunny days and they have the big field shelter all to themselves, so they're fine, they actually settled very quickly with only Bossy Boots making a fuss every time I appear. Their mums are all now with the main group of females and we kept them out of sight of the weanlings for a few days and they too soon settled, though are still hanging out together as a group.
Not much else is going on so I'll leave you with a few pics from 2013
