Herd or Family? 3 August 2024 Llamas, alpacas: It's nice to have a large herd For pride and profit... But it's nicer still To have just two or three Who you are close to. You are in the herd. They know and trust you. You are allowed to touch the. They eat from your hand; Your souls intertwine. Yes this is the best, Just enough to love! They will learn to love you back. They will die for you. Llamas at least
This is a discussion that we have had since the first days. How many alpacas change the farm from an intimate group to a set of numbers and alpacas that are mostly strangers?
Do you give your alpacas get vitamin D injections? Some owners administer them every 2 weeks in northern climates where sunlight is limited. That is why they sunbathe. My mother was named Helen Mae Bichler. Her Norwegian mother called her Hel May which I was wary of; Hel was the Norse goddess of the Underworld, hell.
Beautiful trim on Nitos! Nice one 😊
Thanks!
Great to hear that everything is fine with Nitos and Bruno, it seems like the worst is over.
The worst is over! Now, we have experience, and we will be less nervous in the coming years. It's a process. Onyx and Pacha were training them!
Herd or Family? 3 August 2024
Llamas, alpacas:
It's nice to have a large herd
For pride and profit...
But it's nicer still
To have just two or three
Who you are close to.
You are in the herd.
They know and trust you.
You are allowed to touch the.
They eat from your hand;
Your souls intertwine.
Yes this is the best,
Just enough to love!
They will learn to love you back.
They will die for you. Llamas at least

We do not give vitamin D injections. During summer, the skies are clear almost every day. We administer oral vitamins as needed.
