Come take a walk to work with me ❤️
Although I’ve been gone most of the month in Peru enjoying alpacas, llamas and even vicuña 😳 ……I still missed my own herd ❤️ #happytobehome #missedmyherd
Lester was bathing Copper dog (because he decided to roll in alpaca poop 🤦🏻♀️) when our young alpaca boys decided they needed a bath too 🤷🏻♀️ #sillypacaboys
It’s a PERFECT day for some yoga with the alpacas here at Belvoir Mine Alpacas. Hosted by @yogawithsalad. Want to book your own event? Contact Stacy Wright at Yoga With Salad. She will plan it and I will provide the location and the alpacas ❤️
Angel’s Envy alerting me and the herd to the vultures up on the road. When the dogs aren’t out, the alpacas have their alert aka eek that they do to let their herdmates know that there is a threat or something out of the ordinary around them. Typically the herd will come together into a group as their way to protect themselves from a threat. TURN UP THE SOUND #theprotectionofaherd #alpacaeek #alpacasareherdanimals
I check on my alpacas daily but on excessively hot days like today, I check on them continually and do what I can to keep them as cool & comfortable as possible. To do this I make sure they have fresh cool water, I spray them down, I turn on the misters, ceiling and floor fans all day long. Seeing them kushed and chewing their cud gives me such relief that they are comfortable and not stressed. ❤️ #keepingpacascomfortable #stressandheatkill #isitreallyoctober #readyforfall
Don’t forget National Alpaca Farm Days Sept 28th 10-3:00
Combining the calm nature of alpacas with the peace of meditation with @lovely_jacquelynn - owner of Waves in Motion ❤️
My Aussies are getting older and definitely moving slower but even the young alpacas still know who’s boss(s) #slowandsteady #nostress #movingthemalong #workingdogs #kelseyandrowdy
This video may not look like much but it’s actually incredibly telling. The brown female has positioned her exactly where she needs to be so she can keep an eye on her herd (that are freaking out about the neighbor’s cat walking the fence line) AND the single ailing alpaca that is still in the barn area under the overhang. The ailing alpaca is too weak to graze with the herd but as you can see, her herd-mate makes sure to keep an eye on her. 🥰 When I can’t live them any more ….they do something like this ❤️ #alpacalove #alpacaloyalty #alpacaprotection
Silly happy girls 😊. It looks like Vera is eating in fast-forward 🤣😂
Needless to say EVERYONE is enjoying this cooler weather. (Not shown are the big boys but they are out grazing the back part of the property today) #coolerweather #happypacas #breakfromtheheat
Hera needed some extra love before joining the herd out to graze.
It’s 109° outside and raining in the barn. The alpacas are not upset about it. #replacingmisters #hotpacas #coolingitdown #keepingeveryoneconfy
Still puppies at heart. (They will be 10 years old this year 🥰) #furbabies #olddogs #kelseyandrowdy #myaussiebabies
