As of today we now have the boys at our farm full time. It has taken much longer to get put together than originally thought. As we went along though we realized some things we had not originally worked into the plan. The biggest issue being grass that could cause health issues with the alpacas.
It was an interesting trip yesterday as for the second time we had to load and unload alpacas from the truck. It was really interesting to watch them as they really took time checking out the new area we had for them. It's not that large but appears to be plenty for 3, especially once our grass gets growing a bit better. They did well though in getting adjusted, meeting new people and getting used to an area with more traffic than they may have been used to.
Today is a day of getting a bit more of the things we need to have such as grain. It will also be a day to make sure that the adjustment is going ok. It was nice to see that they had moved to the barn overnight since yesterday they didn't appear to want to go in there at all.
I want send my thanks out to Bret and Erica at Willow Ridge for taking care of our boys and helping us out with learning how to care for them, set up many things at our area and being there to help us when needed.
