what do we pay Weathermen for? Kensmyth, Clay Meadow, Cirencester

I despair of the weather forecasters these days. Finger in the air and a good sniff to us Farmers is the best way – that way you are prepared for Frost, rain, sun and anything else – all in one day!

as the temperatures plummet – remember Alpaca are pregnant for nearly 12 months so a female in winter is feeding herself, her cria for next year and her cria at foot – don’t get them in, don’t feed them and you will lose one, two or all of them!

watching our livestock 24/7 at Kensmyth in the day and in the night too!
