Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!In this episode, we recognise the need to take a long view of almost everything to do with alpacas. They live a long time for livestock; they have a long gestation; the single cria a year means breeding decisions take a long time before you can judge success and repeat or vary for the next round.We need to think in seasons and years rather than weeks and months. It is a different timescale and rhythm but has its advantages.Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.If you would like to be in touch, please contact me by email - <a href="mailto:steve@alpacatribe.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">steve@alpacatribe.com</a> - or leave me a <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/AlpacaTribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">voicemail</a> from your browser.Alpaca Tribe is hosted and produced by Steve Heatherington of <a href="https://goodpodcasting.works" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Good Podcasting Works</a>, which is part of <a href="https://thewaterside.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Waterside (Swansea) Ltd</a>

Coats for the cold weather

The Alpaca Podcast for all things alpaca. Alpaca Tribe is for anyone who feels a connection with alpacas. It is for existing owners, everyone interested in keeping alpacas, people working with alpaca fleece or providing alpaca services, or those who are just alpaca mad. 

With our guests, we will look at getting into keeping alpacas; making the most of the ones you have got (and enjoying it); ways to use the fleece, not just store it; opportunities to develop business activities relating to alpacas; and growing in your experience, wherever you are starting.

Each week we will be talking to people like you and to breeders, vets, producers and professionals. 

The Alpaca Tribe Podcast is your place for wisdom, guidance and great stories about all things alpaca, from people who know because they have already done it.
