Alpacas now enjoying the sun

Here are some pictures of the alpacas enjoying the sun. Before at this time of day they were hiding out under the shade trees. Now they are laying out in the sun, grazing in the sun, playing and enjoying themselves. I brought out the sprinkler; not because they looked hot, but because they love the water. Oh, and I also found out that before I had hosed them off incorrectly. You do not run water over their back before they have been shorn. This actually over heats them having all that water over their heavy fleece. You are suppose to only get their underbellies wet. That is where their cooling gauge is at also. It would be best to use a hose and do it yourself. If you set up a sprinkler going about 2 ft high, they will just lie down under it and get their top fleece wet.
So here are the pictures!!

Bishop is very curious and checks out the camera

Check out the awesome goatee that John Merrell left on Bishop!
