PRETTY PRETTY...
Alpaca, at St.Asaph.
Really becoming popular in this country lately...their "wool"...known as Alpaca fibre, is much valued for making fine clothing,blankets etc.
She is posing after an all-over number 1 cut!
They are gentle...don't bite...but are very good at protecting lambs from foxes...which they scare off ...foxes are too smart to get trampled by these smaller Llama look alikes.
Sheep farmers are keeping small herds of Alpacas with their sheep herds for this purpose.
This is the first pic I took at the annual North Wales Shire Horse Society show...at a new venue in Wales this year...watch out for more uploads...mostly,as you would expect...of horses !
