A Testing Time.

Now that birthing and stud services are over for the year, we are starting to catch up on some of the other tasks on the farm. I am pleased to report that the skip did get filled, and that we have a couple of near empty sheds (how long will that last!). Paul has been […]

It’s a Wrap-Blaze of Glory and Haylage!

I am a firm believer in the saying ‘make hay whilst the sun shines, in other words make the most of any situation whilst it lasts. Thus when we say we have had our busiest summer yet, we are certainly not complaining . It’s hard to believe that Paul ever had time to go out […]

Beck Brow Get Cria Sheared

Well there goes a lesson learnt…be careful what you wish for…never again will I envy the sunny weather down south. No more giving the rain a bad name. Never again will I complain about washing and drying all the cria coats, that I normally have to use. I missed my wellies. Six weeks and no […]

No News is Good News

My apologies about the lack of news about Little E. Whilst the title of the blog might be a little optimistic (she isn’t quite fit as a fiddle just yet) she is however making progress. Her weight was 14.25 kilos this morning, and we are struggling to catch her to give her a bottle, such […]

A sick cria at Beck Brow.

Where does the time go? When Paul decided to work at Beck Brow full-time, one of my missions was to blog more consistently, but we seem to be busier than ever. We always seem to end the day with a list of jobs for tomorrow! It does rather remind me of a fairground in full […]

Joy. Upset. Harmony…a crazy week at Beck Brow Alpacas

What a crazy week at Beck Brow Alpacas…but we have somehow survived. The madness started on Monday morning. For the second time this year, I woke in the early hours, and decided to check the maternity paddock. And amazingly, for the second time, we had a female about to give birth…Snooty Boots does have a […]

Spring Has Arrived

April seemed to disappear in a haze of one alpaca show after another…five out of six weekends (including the BAS National at the end of March) saw me either judging or exhibiting. It certainly allowed me to see a lot of alpacas (and you really can’t see too many in my case). The last of […]

The British Alpaca Society National Show….

I always think it is strange to be offered “do you want the good or the bad news first?”… who would ever want the good news first…who wants to be given a balloon only for someone to pop it straight away? However, on this occasion I am going to start with the good stuff, then […]

How many months….

How many months does it take to write a blog…not as long as it takes to choose a National Show team… I am not sure I can really call this posting a blog. Having just Googled the term, it would appear the word ‘regular ‘ is somewhat key … ‘written in an informal or conversational style’…okay […]
