Sunny times at Golden Valley Llamas. Yesterday I gave birth to my new daughter. She’s furry and grey, and pretty, and feeds, and sits next to me and I love her.
I’ve had five babies now and our people have been following me around for a day or two. I often give birth a little earlier than predicted and I was a week early this year too.

And now in the glorious early morning sunshine we wake up and I feed my baby again. The gang are getting blasé about all these girls being born on the farm and they have mainly drifted off to the barn for early morning cud-chewing.
My people have told me my lovely daughter is called Hazleton which is beautiful
