What do you do with the old girls? Eat them?

At Toft we give them a beautiful new paddock just to themselves in which they can reminisce about days of yore. 
We have just commissioned this field as part of our 15 acre extension. We don't think it has had livestock in these fields for at least ten years that we can recall. It's been a big old job since December getting them ready for the alpacas.
Now it looks beautiful and the alpacas took up residence this week. It should be called the rest room as it accommodates those alpacas having a year out, the old girls who are retired and ready to live out their years as companion animals, the odd alpaca that never gets pregnant and some clients younger girls looking for a new home who will be sold mated to order.
A real mix of age and ambition and no doubt plenty of cross generational gossip to keep them all amused!
