the facts of life (alpaca style!!)
went out for lunch today and while there met a couple who knew another couple who have over 130 alpacas as we are going to be getting some of these lovely animals they offered to introduce us to them.
well off we all went and were made extremely welcome they showed us several alpcas and what to look for in the fleece ect, we also rather bizarrely, as we were standing there chatting got to find out first hand what the mating process entails !!! there was this poor little lady "sitting" while "Mr. Stud" who can charge upwards of a $1000 for the priviledge gets down to business !! this can last up to 45 minutes apparantly and it does involve a very weird little sing songy type of noise!! it was definitely not what I was expecting to see on a Sunday afternoon but guess I will have to get used to it !!
rest of the day was spent packing and generally trying to get sorted out.
