Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!

In this episode, I have been musing about growth. How soon the grass starts growing is a prime factor in judging when spring has arrived. The interplay of the essentials of moisture, sun and soil temperature determines how much growth, if any, the grass makes and how soon. Ours seems to have slowed down - disappointing but nothing to do but wait.

Sufficient nutrients in the soil and in what our alpacas eat determine the rate of growth.

We are also entering the show season here in the UK and the National show of the British Alpaca Society is this weekend. Also available as a live stream to view online on YouTube- if you are interested.

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.
