    Alpacas seem to slow me down, in a good way

    Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Alpacas have a pace all of their own. And if we choose to, we can let them teach us to find a slower rhythm that could just suit us better. I love it when alpaca life spills over into the rest of life. What do you notice about your alpacas? What about friends, family and colleagues? What about you? Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it. If you would like to be in touch, please contact me by email - steve@alpacatribe.com - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.

    Know where your alpacas are

    Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, I share some of my alpaca obsessions. Where are they and what are they doing? We learn by making mistakes - hopefully small and not disastrous ones. It starts that way when we first start keeping alpacas and it continues. The specifics change as we get more experience and more adventurous! Keep learning and if you can go spend some time with some alpacas. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

    Alpacas are good in any weather

    Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! You can enjoy being with alpacas whatever the weather. They seem to cope with it all but it does change their behaviour, which is true of us too. Here in the UK particularly, we seem to be obsessed with the weather. The wind can put an extra spring in an alpacas step. If you can go spend some time with your alpacas in windy weather and notice what is going on with them. Whatever the weather - enjoy the alternative perspective alpacas bring to our worlds.

    Alpaca Intelligence - the new AI

    Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, everyone maybe talking AI - but not everyone is talking Alpaca Intelligence Join me as I consider the intelligence shown by these amazing creatures. I also got caught out in the rain and had to shelter while giving breakfast to the girls. Preparation and spontaneity. Why not have a half-hour holiday with your alpacas? But take something to sit on, the ground is wet from that latest shower. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

    When you are feeling a bit lost with your alpacas

    Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! Sometimes we can feel lost even when we are not and other times, we really are lost and need help. Being lost means there is a piece of information missing. Either we don't know where we are; we don't know where to go; or we don't know how to get where we are going. Strategies to move forward include waiting for more data, starting to make a move in the best direction we can discern and hope for landmarks, ask for directions. Which is the right thing to do? It all depends. Check out the episode notes for the video of finding Ninian the lost cria - more misplaced really. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

    As herd animals alpacas want to be together

    Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people! In this episode, we consider how alpacas like being with other alpacas and ask the question - how many make a herd? Alpacas love to be able to see other alpacas. They have a strong herd instinct and to help them thrive we need to understand this and accommodate it as much as we can. How many make a herd? One alpaca on its own is not a herd. But that doesn't mean two is either. I recommend a minimum of at least three or more when possible. The capacity of your land for a herd of alpacas is an interplay of space, grazing, shelter and type of land. Don't run to the maximum but leave yourself some headroom. Have you noticed they often face the same direction when grazing - why is that? Answers on a digital-postcard. Spend time with your alpacas and keep your eyes open. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it. If you would like to be in touch, please contact me by email - steve@alpacatribe.com - or leave me a voicemail from your browser.
