Cool alpaca

Coming up to a break in the heat of the summer, we take a look at our herd and how we're coping with the weather. With the harsh landing of this summer, our daily routine shifted toward heat management. Alpacas are remarkably resilient, but their thick fleeces turn them into walking ovens once the thermometer climbs. Keeping our herd safe requires a mix of keen observation and proactive adjustments....

Gracing and Glowing

The pasture is getting a little bit cozier—and a lot rounder! We are absolutely thrilled to share some incredibly exciting pictures of our baby watch! Our beautiful girls are expecting, and we can already see those adorable, distinct little cria bumps, as we like to call them! Right now, they are spending their days doing what they do best: eating lush green grass, soaking up the sunshine, and perfecting the art of the gentle waddle....

Why Are Our Alpacas Taking Ages to ‘Unpack’?

If you’ve been keeping an eye on our fields here Kestle lately, you might have noticed a lot of heavily pregnant alpacas doing... well, not a lot. We are officially on Cria Watch, and to say these ladies are taking their time would be an understatement!While we wait (and wait, and wait) for the patter of tiny, padded feet, we thought we’d share some fascinating facts about alpaca birth—or as it’s properly known, "unpacking."...

Ameera’s next masterpiece

So far, we've introduced Grace, Stardust, Peggy and Blight… today it's Ameera's turn in the spotlight! 🦙✨ Ameera was one of our very first alpacas and has certainly earned her place as the matriarch of the herd. She's also our most prolific mum, with an impressive collection of crias including Aramis, Jorge Helium, Dora and Aymara. Each one has inherited beautiful features and displays a wonderful range of colours, from bright white through to rich medium fawn....

Stud

Willowbrook Jackpot. With that name, he can only bring good things with him. Strong bet for an unproven male this year. He definitely showcases a pair, which was the most significant physical feature we noticed. Very important for his job. Jackpot is part of the Kestle gang. We are very impressed with this male. This boy has landed with the challenge of a very strongly bonded pair of friends....

Blinding Lights

Very peculiar name for this one. Aka Blight, this girl is also expecting soon. She has been in Kestle for over a year now, well settled and a very moody pregnant lady by now. I think she's having enough of the extra weight she's carrying. This will be her first cria. We hope she passes on her very long eye lashes, and her high quality fleece....

This pairing promises to be a very special addition to the Kestle Alpacas herd.

The countdown is still on at Kestle Alpacas! 🦙 We think Peggy may be the first of our girls to give birth this season, and we're eagerly awaiting the arrival of her cria. Peggy was mated to Emperor's Quest, this pairing promises to be a very special addition to the Kestle Alpacas herd. Peggy is the daughter of Willowbrook Ivory, from whom she's taken a calm temperament....
