Five reasons for keeping alpacas
Into Autumn in the UK you start to ask yourself, why are we keeping alpacas? I can think of lots of reasons – here are five.
Autumn has arrived – no, really this time
Autumn is a special time of year – the light, the colours, the wind the rain! We have been having some Welsh rain and the lake is now full. It also means the alpacas are wet and the little ones a bit cold.
A late alpaca arrival
I mentioned I was giving up on the last three potentially pregnant alpacas. Just to prove me wrong, Olwyn gave birth the following day!
Can you be right every time?
It is not possible to always know the answer and the right thing to do. But this podcast can help you to lean in the right direction.

Always keep an eye on your alpacas
