Hi everyone, we will be holding an alpaca 'Husbandry Hands-on' event next month.
It's suitable for people who would like to get hands-on experience in cutting toenails, body scoring, giving oral vitamins and checking eyes for health.
We will be going through the entire herd and checking each one. It's full-on and has lots of handling, so enclosed shoes, sun hat and a refillable water bottle to keep hydrated.
Then you can hang out with the alpacas and get to know them after the event. The time for handing is approx 1.5-2 hours.
No charge if you have already attended our main workshop. It's really to give people the next step in hands-on / exposure to handling alpacas and being confident with them.
Adults only due to safety and insurance.
Only open to people who have already attended our main workshop.
Only 2-3 people at a time for this event.
If you are looking for accommodation, we have the shearers studio for a minimum of two nights' stay ($600), or you can stay one night at Noyce Brothers Wine/Grays Inn Wollombi, about ten minutes away right in the heart of Wollombi Village. Check out the Noyce website for their rates. https://www.noycebros.com.au/
Date: early July 2022 — at Little Valley Farm - Alpaca Farm.
We will aim to make this a monthly event for our LVF VIP members.
