Will Sarah get her big cob?

24/07/2009 by Rosemary.

A quick one tonight as I am really tired!  Bert’s baby is now named Little Star - thank you Rob for the email which inspired the name!  Little Star is doing well.  She was 6kg last night, up from 5.4kg the day before!  We have to fiddle around with the bottle a bit to get her going but then she sucks like mad.  Sam uses his finger technique and I wipe the bottle teat every time she stops and then she seems to take it again.

We are going to visit Wellground Alpaca Stud tomorrow morning - not for long with Rob not 100% and Little Star to look after, it is very good of him to have us at all.  I am longing to see his cria, Sam can’t go as he is in charge of feeding.  He is on Alpaca seller every night at the moment as he has an ambition to breed his own solid black suri!  I have told him he will have to start at the bottom and breed his way up so he is trying to get his head round pedigrees and breeding plans!  I have also told him he will have to start saving!

Carl slept at home last night as he was getting silly due to lack of sleep.  He was in the caravan reading the adverts in Blackmore Vale magazine, a local free paper, and kept going on about Sarah wanting a big cob.  I had no idea what he meant and sent him away for the night.
