Alpaca Event Rush....doesn't really mean anything...

..unless that is you have ever done any sky diving in which case you will know that for most of the journey down you feel like you are floating as light as a feather then suddenly your eyes achieve some perspective and it appears as if the very earth is rushing up to greet you...an effect know as "ground rush".

In the alpaca breeding and farming world you will sometime experience the same effect...not as the ground rushes towards you...but as a small group of alpaca events appear to rush towards you in the calendar.

Namely....in 4 days time we will be shearing all the alpacas and in 5 days time I will be driving the female alpacas north to Portland for breedings. On this coming Saturday we will be in a mass panic trying to get all the photographs that we need while the alpaca girls and boys are still in full fleece. What wonderful fun and games.....

Sadly a neighbouring alpaca farm lost one of their new cria today. The poor little creature had been born blind, not long after birth she caught pneumonia and despite having a transfusion to boost her IGg she was dead the following morning. All very sad.

The sun is shining and its a glorious 77 degrees outside which is very pleasant...but you knew that anyway didn't you?
