An overwhelming force took on another and called it a war. The overwhelming force killed thousands of the inferior force and broke many humanitarian codes and maimed many more, ignoring world wide condemnation. The family and friends of the killed and maimed would remember these desecrations for generations; the overwhelming force felt more secure.

Manchester United came down and played a local primary school team. It was called a football match. United won 250 to nil with the whole match being played in the school’s half, much of that in the penalty area. United were violent and gave away 200 free kicks for foul play. The primary kids, their parents and lots of supporters grew up with a hatred of United and wanted to play them again when they were big enough.

Here are pictures of Freddie before and after shearing. He has been a favourite among walkers for well over a year and you can see a little difference between the two pictures.....

Happy New Year to all Stoke Wood Alpacas friends on Facebook.
Here are our two favourite pictures of the year. Little Freddie was one of twins born in June; his identical brother was not born alive and Freddie was only 8lbs. He is now thriving and such a sweet little alpaca.
The elf is Lila our grand daughter, born 1st October. She is a beautiful little girl ,destined to become an alpaca lover.
Thank you for your support and hope to see you in 2019.

We have a small number of alpacas to sell to caring homes. If you have at least half an acre of land and are interested in the possibility of owning alpacas, please get in touch and spend some time with our alpacas to see if they may be for you. We offer full husbandry training or service and can take the alpacas back if required, when you go on
holiday.

I have just uploaded a pronking video as people have asked what this is.

13/03/2017

Alpacas pronk when they are happy or excited but they do not do this very often. Here is some footage of ours pronking last year.

We have had some problems with hay disappearing; I called the alpacas to ask if any of them knew what was going on. They all said they knew nothing but I was unconvinced.....

Babies were split from their mums on Friday. They are all crying quietly like a small barber shop quartet. We are moving them to another paddock today higher up, to give them a view.
