Alpacas de Gredos: Snowy January Alpacas

Alpaca winter in the mountains. Our alpacas shelter in the lean-to, avoiding the brisk winds and wet snows and rains.

Bruno was the best when you sheared him!

@@davidmonteleone2899 haha... fun to watch, but traumatic for Bruno and Helena.

[@miriamcampos1476]

Really snowed in! I’m glad you are all ok. Bruno is going to miss his best friend, Nitos. And Nitos will miss him!

[@alpacasdegredos]

Yes... we all will miss him.

I first found this channel during the Bruno and Nitos era, when they were still with the females and being trained. It’s sad to hear that Bruno is being sold, but I understand that this is part of the business and that sometimes difficult decisions have to be made. He’s still Nitos' best friend, and I’m sure he and the others will miss him a lot. He was part of so many great moments here.
And if it’s hard for me, and he’s not even my alpaca, I can only imagine how much harder it must be for you. Watching them grow and spending so much time with them, it’s impossible not to get attached. I hope Bruno finds a home where he’ll be loved and cared for just as much. He will always be a special alpaca!

@KristianGillespie Yes, it was a tough decision. We had always planned to sell them as a pair, and we almost sold them together twice.
However, Bruno is going to a well established alpaca farm up north. He will be employed to bring color to their herd as a stallion, which is way better than being treated as a pet alpaca. So, this helped persuade us to part with him and break up the buddies.
We don't like to think about it, and Sunday will be emotional.

@@alpacasdegredos It’s good to know that Bruno will have a great future, though I’m sure Nitos will be wondering where his partner in mischief went. Sunday will definitely be a tough day, but at least you can be at peace knowing he’s going to a good place. Wishing you all the best!

Congratulations on your sales. Who will be the new Boss
once Cossett is gone?

[@alpacasdegredos]

Thanks! The odds are that either her daughter, Virginia, will lead or Cece, the mother of Bruno, Ormand, and Persa. It's not clear.
