Choosing our alpacas

It can be difficult to choose the right animals and remember in a way you are buying the breeder too - at least their support and knowledge to help you as you start on an alpaca journey. Be hungry to learn and keep watching your new charges as they teach you. Hermione; Nicola; Lalana; Juno and Scylla. We took a while to narrow down on our final selection but got there in the end and have had no regrets. If you are going through the process, take your time; engage your head; and then engage your heart. They are likely to be with you for a long time! As summer progresses, take some time out to walk the paddocks looking for things that shouldn't be there - in particular weeds and poisonous plants. Now is a great time to be digging up ragwort - at least in our neck of the woods. Catch them before they set seeds because then you will not see them so clearly and one year's seeds, seven year's weeds. I have a question for you - "What is your favourite thing about keeping alpacas?" Let me know through the usual channels or even better try out the recording link on the website - you get to leave me a voicemail without using a phone! How cool is that. You can also leave me any comments or questions. Also, if you are enjoying the podcast, please share it with someone. Have a great day!
