Shearing over plus another cria born

We had the Shearers arrive Monday, Sam from Shearco was here and set up ready to go by eight. He has been here the last three years, but had changed his system completely from last year. He had two helpers with him, Jason and Chris, both were sheep shearers, Jason from Wyoming, was telling us how he was brought up on a cattle and sheep ranch, only 36000 acres,where they go off for days on horseback checking there stock, really cannot imagine having all that acreage to look after. Chris the other guy, was from New Zealand, and they both had the same idea, come to England, not only to shear Alpacas, but to see some of England, good on you boys I admire that.
Getting back to the shearing, Sam had set two sets of rope down so they had two Alpacas ready to Shear, finishing one and straight on to the next one, first time we had seen it done that way, but it worked a treat, congratulations on a very good job done,they were so attentive to our herd, nice to meet the boys.We stopped and had breakfast, only for 15 minutes and straight back on with the job.By twelve thirty they were packing there gear away, and ready to travel to the next Farm.During the shearing, Jason had said he was looking forward to shearing an Alpaca as he had only ever done sheep,I said to Sam give him a go, which they were both very pleased about , so Sam slowly talked him through it and showed him and the boy did good, well in my book, you all have to start somewhere.I am afraid there were some aching limbs on Tuesday, but the good thing about the Shearers coming you can time all your injections to suit, works a treat, believe you me.
Tuesday came and went so quickly, we were finishing off tidying around and trying to decide, did they look better with their Fleece on or off,always on for me without a doubt.Ann my wife had noticed our Bazul, walking the fence line, and said to me I think she is just about ready, but as we Alpaca breeders all know, girls will be girls and have them when they are ready, needless to say nothing happened on Wednesday. Now we new Thursday morning with Basul patrolling the fence line again, that she would not be long, and sure enough about 10-45 she give birth to a little boy,his sire being Chase-End-Ice Warrior, he has now given us one of each a female and male cria, these are his first two cria, so well done to him.
Well that is my good bit of news this week,I have not done a lot today, but I somehow think I better make a start, or Anns list of jobs, will only get longer, only joking love, by the way names have not been chosen as yet, that is my wifes department, so come on love get cracking,Bye for now, speak to you all soon,
