February is when we begin "school" for last summer's cria. As with last year we teach the wee ones how to stand quietly while tied, and are beginning instruction on walking calmly on a lead. The calmly part takes a while....
Preparations are underway for our trip with 6 alpacas to the huge show at Orangeville, Ontario in April where approximately 400 alpacas are registered for the event.
As our magnificent farm sitter will be my companion for the trip, we are involving her in the training lessons. With this additional skill set added to her resume, our farm sitter has become "First Assistant". A much more appropriate title indeed.
