This is the podcast for alpaca people! The new year begins, but is hardly noticed by the alpacas. Just another day. Wet weather turned cold, then snow and ice. The alpacas loved the hay and found a little grazing by following the sun around the valley. It has all gone again, so we can relax for a bit. Starting a new year is a good time to notice the jobs that need doing and anything that seems 'off' with any of the alpacas. The winter weather stress sometimes reveals things we don't otherwise notice. Less time for sitting outside with the alpacas at the moment here in the UK, because of the wintry weather. A good time for catching up on record keeping, and if you are breeding alpacas, a time to consider potential matings - a bit like gardeners and their seed catalogues. Here is the link to the video from the last episode, where I show you around the valley to give some perspective on the stories I regularly share. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.
