The temperature has dropped quite significantly and last night snow arrived on the top of our mountain. I am hoping this is a temporary measure but for the alpacas they clearly feel at home. Of course we don't have the altitude of the Altiplano but our cold nights are a close second.
In the alpacas native home the temperature falls below freezing 360 nights of the year so winters in southern Oregon with shelter and hay are a walk in the park.
My Google rankings for www.mulberryalpacas.com are still moving around which is fascinating...and not something I normally look at until I had an e-mail last week to say we were on the first page of Google for the search term alpacas...but those of you who read the Blog know that our fame was short lived.... Quite how Mike Safley of NWA holds on to that number one slot day after day and is never budged is quite impressive.
The image project appears to have stalled and our test alpacas image is now stuck on page two which isn't bad given we put it up just three days ago but I really do want to get it onto the front page if at all possible.
I am still on baby watch so better go check the pasture and see how my alpacas are doing.
