Badminton and returning clients at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow
well we missed Badminton due to being soo busy but it was lovely that we were able to welcome so many returning clients. Pre shearing which is coming up soon, you can see the fantastic density on our Alpaca – Yum !
getting ready for shearing at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow
you know when the Alpaca start “sham drinking” where they are just dipping their chins into the water to keep cool, its shearing time … nearly!
look at these … best to take off the worst to prevent sore chins by the way… remember the shearers wont shear wet Alpaca

Clients and friends of Kensmyth Alpaca, Clay Meadow
we are crazy busy always but particularly lately and Visitors galore… just adoring the Alpaca in their natural setting and so relaxed and happy…
working hard on the farm at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow
there is no time to waste in May, with the grass growing madly now
and weeds appearing nearing spraying, all machines to the fore… with my trust 31 year old Toyota…
amazing to think we have had the Kubota G23 High Dump for 11 years now since we first got Alpaca…
they used to make machines to last back in the day
May creeps in like a lamb at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow
gently, gently May crept upon us when we weren’t looking but brought the April showers that the heatwave had dismissed… what will this month really bring I wonder?
Full time on the farm as usual but what a crop of nearly yearlings we have – so proud!
what better day than to take a peek at some fleeces – one handed and not how you should best demonstrate them but no photoshopping or fake lights – just raw on their backs – marvellous…
Rainy days – Halter training at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow
well I have never spent so much time in a barn as I have recently due to the weather changing so much… rainy days no problem here – we just walk indoors LOL
no problemo at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow
sometimes it takes a big dog to show you that no problem is too big – ever !
and when you need a hug, only Alpaca will do!
Walking boys nearly ready at Kensmyth, Clay Meadow
you remember those castrates looking so sorry for themselves a while back? well haltered as cria and starting their retraining just a few weeks ago aged three – take a look at these boys now – marvellous!
With so many people wanting to buy them – I’m still debating if I shall keep them in our own team?
Tropics in the Cotswolds at Easter 2019
The heat of this Easter brought the flowers out in full and the Alpaca into the shelters LOL!
