TOFT Alpaca husbandry day...

Whoever arranged the weather today deserves a medal. I've known a lot worse in July. The sun shone on the Manor today in all its glory as we met a whole herd of alpaca enthusiasts and introduced them to the glories of these wonderful creatures. A great crowd, a lot of fun and we trust that no one made the journey home without the information they needed to consider making alpacas part of their future. All the best and see you soon. Rob & Shirl.

Toft Alpaca Husbandry Introductory Workshop- Perfick!

A great crowd, stunning weather, lunch and afternoon tea at the Toft Alpaca Studio in the Cornflower Cafe. It doesn't get much better than it did yesterday. 

Here's Dan and his son Ben doing a bit of father and son alpaca bonding whilst being shown how to halter alpacas by Shirley.

We are off tomorrow to North Somerset where Shirley is judging alpacas at the North Somerset Show. I'm playing companion animal - as one must. 

I am really looking forward at being at an alpaca show where I am not a steward, announcer, commentator or  judge. Time for some r&r on Bank Holiday Monday and a walk down the sheep lines and tool stalls whilst Whoopy Daisy puts the alpacas through their paces. Sad huh? But this is the closest we ever get to a holiday. Have a great Bank Holiday.
