Good grass.

Today was spent harrowing , rolling and  spreading new grass seed . Hopefully this will give us some lovely lush paddocks this year. The girls watched the events over the fence , not to impressed at somebody trashing their fields .

Spot of halter training.

The weather is so lovely today it feels like summer has arrived !! So down to some halter training with the little ones . This proved very entertaining with lots of dancing around ,and that was me not the alpacas. However they have picked up the idea already , and we are managing to move forward, so that's progress.

Winston modeling his new blue head collar .This boy truly loves himself , but he is seriously cute .

Two tea thieves.

Took my eye off the feed bucket for two minutes to open the gates and these little monkeys stole more tea .

Happy new year everyone !

Starting the new year with toe nail clipping and vitamins . Should be a good day it's nice to get outside for a while and spend sometime with the alpacas.The wind and rain return this afternoon . Mud mud mud !!!

Great day at the Yorkshire alpaca show.

Thank you to everyone for a  fab day . We had a lovely time ,with Jefferson getting a rosette for second place in the intermediate male light class. With some very good alpacas in attendance we are very proud . It was a great opportunity to learn and meet new people . 

Never had so much fun at six thirty without wine.

Watching the alpacas chasing the wind tonight. They are going wild pronking and kicking their feet. So funny and amazing how fast they can move , especially the little ones . It was dark early ,and much cooler so I was keen to get back to the fire and open the wine, however they are so amusing I stood for ages .

Boys are growing up quickly. Edison is still taking his bottles well, and seems to be making good progress . It's so lovely watching these two characters grow they are ever playfully, and really add cheer to everyday.
