When you are new to the business of alpaca husbandry there is plenty to learn. Here are just two things I noticed today while walking with my boys in the late afternoon. Its nothing complicated in fact its obvious but you won't notice unless you look.
This last picture shows a white animal with bright green stains on his back. These grass stains are fresh bite marks and indicate this animal is being dominated by another animal. It may be a one off event but needs watching. Tomorrow the stains will be a darker green so any new bites will show up as a brighter green.
It was our youngest sons birthday today and he turned 13.
