The latest copy of Hobby Farms magazine which arrived today, this is the January/February issue....oh my goodness 2008 already in the world of magazine publishing. In the Livestock Q&A section on page 22 is a question on bottle feeding alpaca cria and ensuring they receive colostrum at birth. I only mention this because it also features a picture of my daughter pretending to bottle feed a cria...which we staged for the article.

I am so glad this week is over, everything I have touched has gone wrong in one way or another...... truly challenging.

A friend sent me through this picture of a jazzed up John Deere gator. This modified version must surely rank as one of the most pointless and useless vehicles in history.



Meanwhile in the farm office we have been linking our website to a farm with more alpacas than we have and we shall be doing some e-mail marketing on their behalf. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
