Have you worked out how alpacas sit down? 16:29

2M ago16:29

16:29

This is the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I want to talk about how alpacas sit and why. Alpacas love to sit, which is called cushing.

Sometimes they…

What is a good number of alpacas to have? 15:08

3M ago15:08

15:08

This is the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I'm considering what a good number of alpacas is. Probably the first answer is going to be... more! They are somewhat addictive and a delight, so why not have more? There are a number of factors to consider, but they mostly revolve around space - how much physical space for grazing and for she…

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Memories abound of the magic of alpaca births. Mostly straightforward, but I always liked to be around to be available to help when needed.

That was a close shave 18:51

6M ago18:51

18:51

I am delighted to report that the shearing is finished for another year. It was physically demanding but less so than in some previous years. The alpacas have just about forgiven me, but a few are still looking at me suspiciously and giving me a wider berth than usual during feeding time. Dry fleece is essential for both shearing and storing the fl…

Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I have been musing about growth. How soon the grass starts growing is a prime factor in judging when spring has arrived.
