When things get back to normal

This is the podcast for alpaca people!Things are returning to normal. The clocks are no longer on summer time. The big birds have left the lake. The little birds are still looking for food. Some coats are on the older, more vulnerable girls, the alpacas don't like me wearing a hat, and we had two named storms in two days. It must be Autumn in the UK.Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.You can contact me by email - [email protected] - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.Alpaca Tribe is hosted and produced by Steve Heatherington of Waterside Voices.

This is the podcast for alpaca people!There comes a time to move on, or at least not be so dependent. This is true of all forms of life, including our own. Happenings in the valley with the swans got me thinking about this. The adults confirmed that the cygnets could fly and then left them the next day.With cria, we wean and separate or leave the mums to do it themselves - depending on a number of factors. This includes the field layout, the number of animals, the amount of grazing and the cria's age, size, weight and maturity. They or we usually work it out.Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.You can contact me by email - [email protected] - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.Alpaca Tribe is hosted and produced by Steve Heatherington of Waterside Voices.

This is the podcast for alpaca people!This episode is dedicated to Jules, who recently passed away and always loved seeing the alpacas - at a distance, and on his terms.We chose the size of our alpacas with him in mind, but in the end, he didn't really want to be that close to them after all. Over time, we can build confidence and relationships with our alpacas. It is a worthwhile investment.Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.You can contact me by email - [email protected] - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.Alpaca Tribe is hosted and produced by Steve Heatherington of Waterside Voices.

This is the podcast for alpaca people!In this episode, hidden among the everyday ordinary, we sometimes bump into a special moment with our alpacas. We need to watch for them, enjoy being present, and appreciate them. They need marking in some way, even if it is a mental note in our memories or a digital note in our electronic brains - those phones we carry around with us all of the time.This is the link to Millie getting stuck in the mudThanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.You can contact me by email - [email protected] - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.Alpaca Tribe is hosted and produced by Steve Heatherington of Waterside Voices.
