Otterview Alpacas

07/30/2025

Time for an update for all my supporters. Training is going…ok! 🤪 I do wonder what I’ve let myself in for sometimes but I will keep going and hopefully at some point it will start to feel a bit easier. 🤞
I’ve made a few improvements to help with my training, I invested in a new pair of trainers so hopefully no more blisters 🤦‍♀️ and I got a fan for when I’m running on the treadmill. 🥵
My hotel for the night before and after the run is now booked and the kids are super excited to be heading back to London.
All that aside the main aim is still to raise as much as I can for FORCE Cancer Charity they really are an amazing charity and one which holds a huge place in my heart.
I know I’ve messaged each of you personally but thank you again to everyone who has donated so far I truly appreciate the support, if you haven’t donated yet there is still time. 😜
In the meantime I’ll keep on running! 🏃‍♀️

We said farewell to Maggie and Galaxy yesterday 😢 These 2 girls meant a lot to me and rehoming them was a really tough decision but we finally found them a 5 star home with a lovely couple in Hampshire and they are going to be very loved I couldn’t be happier for them.
We also said goodbye to our 2 lovely Stud males Nevsky and Nero a few weeks back. They have gone to a fab herd not far from us Pocket Alpaca who have alot of lovely Females to keep the boys busy.
We are now left with 4 females who will be staying as my pets, Syrah, Chianti, Amarone and Summer along with 1 male Cria (Otto)who will be looking for a new home once he’s been weaned.
It’s very strange only having 5 Alpacas in the field I miss the others very much but can’t deny it’s a lot easier. 😍

**Urgent herd reduction due to impending surgery**
Unfortunately I need to reduce my herd so that I can make things easier for myself in the coming months.
I love my animals dearly and have enjoyed breeding them over the past few years so this has been a tough decision but my hands are tied.

Available for consideration:
2x Open breeding females
1x Open breeding female with male Cria at foot.

Lane House Golden Galaxy
Lane House Magnolia
Otterview Chianti with Otterview Otieno at foot.

These animals boast some fantastic genetics, have lovely fleeces and have produced some cracking progeny. They are all up to date with husbandry and halter trained with the exception of the Cria that has only just started to experience the halter.

Open to offers!
For more information please message me or call 07539255746.

Meet Otterview Otieno (Otto for short!) born at 00:30am! Alpacas rarely birth at night so this was a bit of a surprise hence the name Otieno which means born at night.
He’s a strong solid white lad weighing in at 10.4kg! 356days gestation.

Dam: Otterview Chianti
Sire: Patou Nevsky

We definitely were not expecting a white Cria but we are chuffed to bits with this little chap.

We said a sad farewell to Stardust and Quercus this morning, they have gone to a really lovely home not far from us in Devon. We will miss these boys very much they were super sweet and so well mannered. This process has again confirmed I’m not cut out for selling my animals it’s just too hard letting them go and therefore we will be stopping breeding after this season or maybe next! 🫣

Tried to convince the alpacas to look up and enjoy the red arrows display but they weren’t interested! 🤣

Exciting day today we had our first mating between our gorgeous herd sire Nevsky and our lovely Chianti.
We had a cracking Cria out of Chianti this year from her paring with Toft Timogen. Timogen is Nevsky’s Sire so we hope to have an equally as good Cria from this paring.

Can’t wait to see how she turns out. 😄😍🧡
