Cold Snap

February 25th 2008 02:37
I had a worrying night Saturday. It rained heavily throughout the day (no complaints about that!). But the temperature dropped and then the wind came up and it kept blowing and raining into the night.

Our alpacas were shorn back in November, so they have enough fleece now for them to cope, but I was concerned about our agistees, who were shorn just over a month ago. Our crias too, especially the two youngest ones, would be feeling pretty cold out in that

Just a Happy Snap

I took this photo while I was down the paddock checking on the girls the other day. The two little girls were just sitting there in the sun together looking very cute.

The fawn girl on the left is Madeline (Maddy), born on 11 January 07 and the white girl is Penelope (Penny), born 28 December 06

That Illusive garden plant

August 27th 2007 02:21
I often let the alpacas into the garden to mow the lawn for me. It is fabulous, as they munch the grass down like a bowling green, lovely and even. I can just sit and listen to them eat the grass - a much better sound than a conventional lawnmower and especially nice when you don’t have to push the thing around.

There are no grass clippings to collect, just a bit of manure if they decide they need to go. That gets tossed over into the vegie patch. When they’ve eaten the lawn down to the required level, I just herd them out again
