Three quality young girls for sale. They would like to go together possibly as a starter herd but also available individually. I’m very reluctant to let these girls go but I need to reduce the herd size.
These three one year old girls are all halter trained have lovely temperaments and an excellent mix of genetics . They are BAS registered and up-to-date with all their husbandry.

This is a really quality female and she is entered for the Westmorland Show. So act quickly and you could take her in the showring!
She was third at the Northumberland show.

It’s always a little sad saying goodbye to some of the herd, but these ones have such a lovely home with lovely paddocks and a gorgeous view, fells one side, sea the other! I was so jealous I almost went home to get my tent so I could move in to the paddock as well!
Have a wonderful time in your new adventure breeding Alpacas. The resident dogs will soon be the herd‘s best friend, the Alpacas don’t look so interested in this picture!

These twins are Alpaca experts, and they can’t get enough of getting up close to these lovely animals.
It’s the first time they have visited the King Garth alpacas, but they have already made friends for life with some of the Alpacas. I think Sesame’s cuddles helped. Come back soon boys your alpaca friends are missing you already!

Sometimes it seems that the Alpacas enjoy the visit as much as the humans. These two Alpaca whisperers were on holiday in the area and came on an Alpaca Experience Visit.
There is still some availability for the school holidays, so give us a call if you want to meet these amazing animals. 07762286050

Last of the year and the biggest cria ever born at King Garth Alpacas weighing in at 10.65kg.
Sadly, this beautiful boy doesn’t belong to me as his dam was sold as a pregnant female. She stayed at King Garth to have her baby. It’s easy to regret selling females when you see their cria but it’s nice to know that the buyer has a good start as a breeder.
These 2 are off to enjoy pastures new in West Cumbria with 4 others from King Garth. I’m sure they will settle well in their lovely new home.
Dam: King Garth Solvei
Sire: King Garth Hipster
Cria : Sid

15 cria were born at King Garth this year.
9 boys and 6 girls.

Twin update
For those of you who have been following the twins, the sad news is that the little brown one didn’t make it.
I have never known such a little fighter. Over those 10 days of his short life he defied the odds on a daily basis. He never stopped sucking his bottle even in the last stages when he started fitting.
His mum and brother are doing well.

What a lovely day with Katie and her family. And thanks so much for bringing your Dad, Mike Bolam, who took these amazing photos of the alpacas. Mike is more accustomed to taking photos of landscapes for the National Trust but what beautiful animal portraits he captured.

Twins Update
One week old today .
Today was the big day when they were allowed out in the main paddock with the herd.
I was worried that mum Etta and the stronger pale one would wander off and abandon the weak little brown one. However this is what happened: mum went off to see her friends and enjoy the grass, the pale one ran around like a joyous crazy thing for five minutes then he so kindly went back to check on his brother💕💕. After a little time mum came back so hopefully all is good with the family apart from the fact that the little brown one is still struggling quite a lot.

26/07/2024

Twin update for today:
Pale boy training for the Olympics making the use of the extended pen.
Brown boy not so clever but getting a little stronger
Both have gained weight 5.95 kg ,4.85 kg.
Etta and I are desperate to get them all out in the big paddock with the herd, but I’m worried she may walk away with the strong boy and abandon little brown boy. Such instinct would make a lot of sense from an evolutionary point of view and I’m sure the wild Vicuña would abandon the weaker twin to favour the survival of at least one. I’m hoping that if I keep them close together for long enough, she will bond so strongly with little brown boy that she won’t abandon him. She certainly seems devoted and was feeding them both at the same time this morning 💕💕

Twins update for today.
Both the babies gained weight in the last day 👏 There isn’t much change in the brown one’s rattle. Somehow he managed to climb through the gate this morning even though I’ve blocked the gap underneath it and was sitting outside, a little cold, when I found him. However, he seems invincible so far!
The pale one is getting stronger by the day.
Etta was clearly getting fed up of being shut in with them. I tried introducing a friend to the shelter but that didn’t seem to help much. I’m a bit worried that the little brown one might get abandoned if I let her out in the main paddock with the herd and it is cold . I have let them have a small area outside the shelter, both babies are out there with mum and have been feeding from her so that’s good news. And if the sun shines tomorrow I might let them out in the great wide world of the paddock.

Is anyone fed up of baby pictures yet? Three in three days, but now I’m hoping for a lull.
Delivered by my stand in midwife, Felicity who did a first class job. The reward was to name the baby:
King Garth Nora
Sire: King Gath Hipster
Dam: Beck Brow Just Like That (Spitty to her ‘friends’)
A nice fawn girl. We had to tape her ear for afew because it was inside out and needs correcting. But she’s pretty perfect apart from this💕
