Meet the new recruits! Grant is getting the 'how to' from Don. Faye had already had hers several days earlier and is mowing like pro. Of course seat belts and hearing protection are mandatory ;). Helping out like this even though it is fun is making them realize how much work mom and dad do and they are starting to appreciate being able to help out so we get a break. LOVE our kids :)

Trying to capture the amount and deep color of our grass. It makes our alpaca disappear up to the knees! Just two rains made it jump like crazy but its too wet to cut or other stuff needs doing. Life's conundrum ;). This amazing greenness has been achieved by intensive rotational with our alpacas and frequent (as in every week in the summer) mowing only! No extra fertilizer, seed or anything else! So proud to see 3 years of hard work pay off :)
Can't wait for next year now that we've added the ducks and they're our own portable manure spreader.

Just realized our new girls have not been properly introduced!
From left to right: Cookie (Grant's), Toby (Faye's), Tequila (yes yours Truly, and she came with that name), Cinnamon (Don's)

Everyone is anxious to go riding again. It was very short last fall when we accumulated the girls before the weather started turning and it was too cold to comfortably ride with newbies. But everyone caught the bug nonetheless and it won't be long before the saddles are dusted of and we'll be riding into the sunset again!

The beauty of multi species intense and rotational grazing. On the far left the last field our ducks were in before winter and now has the alpacas.

Look at the color of that grass! Its been left bare all winter, the ducks were rotated on the back 20.

Now its the ducks turn to "enrich" the field the alpacas wintered in, the field on the right. Gotta love nature! Work smarter, not harder :)
