This stunning Lavender Park Tulley female has been bottle fed since birth. For some reason she rejected her Mom at birth and although her mother stood over her offering the milk bar for weeks she wouldn't have a drop of it. It's the first time this has ever happened to us in 17 years of alpaca breeding.
Thankfully we are now reducing the frequency of the feeds and starting to wean her onto hard feed which will be a relief for Shirley who has taken on the brunt of the workload with help from her Mother Myra, the interns in the Toft Alpaca Shop and any passers by who ask to lend a hand.
