Time to show what we're made of!

Show season has suddenly come at us from nowhere! In the last few days we have finalised the team, all of whom will become well known to us over the coming weeks as we learn their personalities - nothing on earth tests the character and patience of an alpaca like trimming and training! The initial team (they can change show to show)is an excellent blend of genetics from the EP Cambridge sires which is a testament to the strength of these sires. The juniors are starting training today - day one is always interesting and fun. As you can see from the picture their is always one smart one who finds a get out clause! In this case EP Cambridge Let's Rock is that alpaca!



The weather is temperate and makes for pleasant working conditions, the boys are embracing their final week of work with gusto, perhaps they are somehow aware that this is their final fling until spring!

The first few drafts of weanlings have finally settled in to life without their mothers. It is always a little easier once you have some groups established as new comers to the group learn from the older ones - a little bit of peer pressure helps them put on a brave face I think!
