"Polo anyone?"
Well, when we first thought about farming, one of the first animals we fell for were alpacas. With their big eyes they're so easy to connect with emotionally.
But we can justify it on the basis of him guarding the sheep when they lamb as alpacas will attack dogs or foxes, and his fleece with very nice to spin.
He'll be a year old on the 14 March and his name is Polo and isn't he cute :)
(P.S. He had a father named Marco, so....)
