Weaning of alpaca and llama cria took place at Auravale today. There are many ways livestock owners conduct the process of weaning. At Auravale we choose to separate the cria from their dams all at once. They range from 5-6 months of age. The dams go into a fresh paddock with plenty of grass, hay and are hard fed once per day. Cria are adjacent to their dams with good chicken wire fencing preventing any escapees. They also have plenty of grass, hay, shaftal clover hay and hard feed. Both paddocks are close to the house so I can keep watch over everyone’s behaviour. There is a little more humming than usual as both groups settle into the new norm. I will document and post their progress over the next few weeks.

Great to be out walking our llamas again on such a beautiful day. Meeting up with friends and enjoying both the llamas and the sunshine! A couple of firsts today:- brought Daphne up to shed using the buggy and tied two llamas together Glenavon’s Flynn and Dex, they did pretty well too!

Wild Dogs in outer Melbourne. Another 28 livestock have been mauled and killed by wild dogs in the areas surrounding Cardinia Reservoir in the last 10 days!!Although these attacks are on private land it is pretty clear the dogs are coming out of the grounds of Cardinia Resevoir. To the best of my knowledge Melbourne Water are just not interested in addressing the issue. The wild dog attacks have been increasing over the last few years and although many dogs have been killed on private property their breeding within the park continues. It is time Melbourne Water addresses the situation! To date we have not had any livestock hurt but honestly it is only a matter of time before our defenceless alpacas are killed. Dogs have been sighted and caught on camera roaming along Muddy Creek.

It is always amazing and so rewarding to see what clients can do with our alpaca fleece. Merryn picked up a white fleece a few months ago. She processed, spun and knitted it into this beautiful shawl. The brown edging and detail is from wool sourced from Fibre Naturally. I am sure you will agree it is gorgeous💕❤️💜
