Day 23 Vlogmas 2020 ~ the boys are spoiled
Please be aware that there are also female berserkers. I am in the unenviable position of knowing and working with both a male and female berserker. They aren't as aggressive as the males, but are quick to spit and generally are very difficult to handle. It took 4 people getting third-rumen spit all over them before they put a towel over her head before we could get her to the shearing area. The male berserker came to my employers as a former therapy animal. He almost knocked me over once with a full-on charge. Luckily, he's a smaller alpaca and I was semi-crouched down when he ran into me. So I insisted on belling him. Sure enough, today I stopped in to visit the barn and he wasted no time hustling over. However I heard the jingling and jangling of the bells on his collar, and knew what was happening, so I was able to turn and stop and deflect him before he made contact.
Splendid video. Thank you for the thoughtful and informative detail.
Thoroughly enjoying your videos. I received my first bag of Alpaca fleece and your videos are a valuable resource. Thank you!
The white one was in a petting zoo. Don't know if its there to protect the other animals or as a pet-able animal but didn't seem very safe to me. It's name was Misty so I had assumed it was a female.
I saw that vid. The owners are nuts for keeping a berserker as a petting zoo animal and thinking its aggressive behaviour is cute. From what I could see of Misty, it was a gelded male. Proof that gelding doesn't work with berserkers.
Hi is there anything I need to do before using alpaca fleece as the stuffing for my new mattress? I’m just going to wash and dry it and stuff it in raw I think
Could u tell me the dimensions of the cattle fence u are using ? Ty so much.
I love the look, feel and drape of alpaca yarn. I would like to make a vest with my yarn, would it be stable enough if I held it with a lace weight merino? Thanks in advance.
Than you very much, super informative. I am test knitting a pattern with a 70%alpaka/30% silk yarn. It is paired with a mohair yarn. If I would like to replace the mohair yarn, what would be your suggestion? I am thinking of a fine merino yarn? Thank you!
Thanks for the helpful videos! I am also an alpaca rancher (we have 10) and I was wondering if you know if the fibre (especially the better grades) can be stored more long-term in a vacuum-packed state? Is there any danger of the fibre being permanently kinked, bent or broken? Thanks! 😀
What % is a good blend alpaca to wool?
Do you have a video of how you separated the bale before you started using the hay dolly?
Girrr, I thought you were going to break out rge old plywood & pull strap( or chain) method. I was waiting to see how yoy "manhandled" the bale onto the plywood. It might work for a stocky man, but for a 5'5" petite frame lady, that isn't happening. So now to find a bale dolly or preferrably, something that will work with my RTV.
I started crocheting about 3.5 years ago. I fell in love with alpaca, and I use alpaca blends in sweaters.
Thank you.
Do they let loose their bowels when they die?
There is No point in owning an alpaca.
Great job on this video, thank you
Hi Tashia - I've recently started following you as I'm learning to process and spin alpaca fleece. I love your videos and find them really helpful. Do you know what's happened to @thelooseend? I wanted to make the picker that you linked to but can't find the website anywhere. I like the simple design and the not-so-bent nails. Cheers Cx
would have liked to see all the machines running
Plus with blocking the fibers grip each other & in a way that’s memory. Since it’s not superwashed it has the scales to block really well, Have also made 100% alpaca socks & never had a problem with them either but I also knit them with 1.2 mm needles & tend to knit tight stitches, though I do have pairs that are color work socks made with 1.5 mm needles but never had an issue with them stretching out.
Weird I’ve never had a problem with using baby alpaca with two color brioche & two color brioche cable stitching.
This is very helpful since I am about to embark on spinning for a sweater. My plan is to blend my alpaca fleece 75% with 25% Finn. What do you think of a Finn blend, and this percentage? This Finn has lovely crimp, but I haven't seen seen Finn used with Alpaca anywhere. Thank you for your podcast. I just found you and hope you are still around. I have a few Alpaca fleeces and will be using your information for a while.
The video is quite informative! excellent 🎉
I have a girl that is one year old. Born here on our farm to her momma everything has been great and normal. We just brought home two other yearlings from another farm and it made her very curious and a little more clingy to me like kinda she was checking in with me more and seeking me out more. I also try to desensitize my group with touching but she was actually seeking being pet. And it was getting more increasingly over the days then yesterday she started bumping and nibbling and then last night after chores she started trying to jump on me like she does her momma. I clearly firmly corrected these behaviors on similar ways I have seen her mother correct her so it was good to hear you say that’s what you do. But I instantly thought oh no did I over pet her!? And not I am all panicked
They also don't have hooves that tear up pastures like other livestock leading to erosion
6/6/23 hi. Could you give more info on. The magnets? Their are a lot of options.
Have a coworker who raises Alpacas, want to get him a shirt that has Alpaca Dad on it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
This video helps A lot!! My llama is attached to me bud I think it is to late to fix. He’s perfectly fine with me. But strangers he wants to hurt. He’s about 11-12 years old though !
So yes he is a berserker. Just count yourself lucky that he hasn't turned on you.
My llama has this issue
So in theory if you raising alpacas for the fiber too make clothes the quality of feed you feed them will determining the quality of fur the alpacas produce. ?
Lovely to watch your video and hear about your beautiful alpacas and how you’re getting on. I apologise for being so behind, so I’m having a lazy Saturday afternoon here in cold England catching up on them.
A friend gave me one skein of super bulky 100% alpaca 80 yards. Everything you said is so helpful but I still don't know what to do with this. I wanted to make something and give it back to her and she's allergic to any acrylic. It sounds like the best thing as a shawl but yes. Can you help
You should be able to fit a card between the licker in and drum teeth. It sounds like your teeth are intermeshing. You would get enter results with a bit more space.

You mentioned in one of your videos that you had a video somewhere for wool hoarders!!😅 Yep, like me! And how to get started finding what to do with it all!! Please repost here, so we can all start unloading!! Thank you!!! Jillian
Thanks for sharing these tips! I have some beautiful yarn I've been afraid to use since I didn't really know any of this. Very helpful. :) And oh my gosh, I loved the clips of your animals at the beginning and end of the video. Alpacas are so cute, and yours look very well cared for! 🥰

I’m not sure but it looks like those two Alpacas that were acting out are alone. Where is the herd? They shouldn’t be alone!
When they are playing they look like Grover from Sesame Street! Too cute
Love your videos! I have come across a company that sells insulation from alpaca fiber for homes. Do you know how many alpaca fleeces it would take to do this?? I am seriously looking into having an alpaca farm for this!
I was mildly disappointed that the alpacas at the farm I volunteer at don't really come over and ask for affection, I'm not longer disappointed
I've just bought 100% alpaca today I'm planning on making a sweater so it's good to know about the possible lack of memory. Thanks for the tip
Awe... sorry for all the alpacas you lost. All in the same time frame... that's tough. Sending virtual hugs across the miles from a stranger. 😢
Wowww thank you!!! Thank GOD I saw this. I am planning to make a 100% alpaca hat for my friend. Blessed to see this. Thank you. I do have a yarn that has wool, alpaca and acrylic blend- I think that would be nice.
Cute
