Manny joined our farm family in July, 2023 – our first “official” rescue you might say. He had lost his three herd mates (all males) and was not gelded. He was an older boy, but in consultation with our amazing veterinarian, we immediately separated him (although he could still see his new family) and had him gelded very shortly after his arrival.
Despite that, he quickly earned the nickname of “Hugh”, as in Hefner. He apparently didn’t know what he had been missing his entire life and his goal was to try to get romantic with anything that crossed his path (through the fence).
Today, Manny is a gentle, kind soul. His years are showing, but he still has spunk and charisma. He is a very dapper alpaca and walks like he knows how handsome he is.
