Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!

We knew to expect some colder weather but thought we were on the edge of the weather alert area. Maybe not.

It started cold and frosty but then came some snow. Now it was not that bad really - just a surprise. The first real cold weather of the season is always like that.

Keep an eye on the water - checking for ice. And think about some extra food that will give quick energy to help the alpacas stay warm. Think about your own layers too.

This was how the alpacas greeted their first snow - a number of years ago now but still so memorable.
