Some of the best moments aren’t the obvious ones.

It might be:
– Hearing the low humming in the herd
– Watching a cria try to keep up
– Realising you’ve stopped checking your phone

Or trying to capture the funniest selfie while an alpaca leans in closer than expected 🦙

During our meet & greets you’ll usually get the chance to hand feed them — either with a scoop or straight from your hand.

We’ve shared more about what to expect in our latest blog (linked in the comments)

One of the things people notice most?

How calm it feels.

We only run small groups, which means:
– No rushing
– No crowded paths
– Time to actually connect with the alpacas

Each walk finds its own rhythm.

If you’ve been wondering whether an alpaca experience would suit you, we’ve shared more about how it works in our latest blog.

What is an alpaca experience actually like? 🦙

It’s not fast-paced.
It’s not crowded.
And it’s definitely not chaotic.

We keep our groups small so there’s space to walk at your own pace, ask questions, and spend real time with the herd — including the chance to hand feed them during meet & greets.

We’ve written a new blog sharing exactly what to expect when you visit us in Pembrokeshire.

If you’re curious, it’s a good place to start.

Owning alpacas isn’t about having all the answers before you begin.

It’s about being willing to learn.

Choosing the right animals.
Understanding herd behaviour.
Establishing simple routines.

And knowing you can ask questions as you go.

We’ve written about why guidance matters more than geography when buying alpacas — and what new owners often notice in those first few weeks.

If you’re curious, the blog is there to read (link in comment).

The first week with new alpacas is quieter than people expect.

It’s mostly about watching.

Who sticks together.
Who hangs back.
Which corner of the field they prefer.

Simple routines — water, feeding, fencing checks — build confidence quickly.

If you’re considering alpaca ownership, we’ve shared what that early settling-in period really looks like.

It’s not dramatic. It’s steady.

Have you ever heard an alpaca alarm call?

It’s usually short and purposeful — a way of alerting the rest of the herd that something has caught their attention. It’s their way of saying, “Excuse me, has anyone else noticed that?” Next time I hear it, I'll try to video it for you as it's very distinctive.

Often it turns out to be perfectly harmless. A dog in the distance. A new shape on the horizon. Or sometimes it’s just a hedge moving in the wind. Either way, it’s part of how the herd communicates and stays aware of their surroundings.

Once you understand the sounds alpacas make, you start to notice how observant they really are.

If you were an alpaca, which one would you be?

The one first at the food bucket before it’s even properly rattled.
The one hanging back pretending not to care but absolutely watching everything.
The one who somehow always finds the muddiest patch in the field.
Or the one completely unbothered by life in general.

I can think of very clear examples of all four out there at the moment.

No names mentioned. They know who they are.

Meet The Herd: The Evolution aka Eva

Eva holds a special place in our hearts. She joined us as a young cria back in 2020 and quickly became my daughter’s absolute favourite.

She’s the self-appointed "Head of Gossip" in the herd—if something is happening, Eva is there to see it. 🕵️‍♀️

She does have two very distinct moods, though:

1️⃣ The Sweetheart: When she’s not expecting, she’s the first to come over for paddock strokes.

2️⃣ The Diva: When she’s pregnant, she is grumpy with a capital G!

Whether she’s looking for gossip or just a chin rub, life in the paddock wouldn't be quite the same without Eva’s creamy-fawn shadow.

Some of our females make the softest clucking sound to their crias.

One in particular, Gallie, seems to teach hers to answer back, and you’d only notice it if you were standing quietly long enough.

It’s easy to miss at first — but once you hear it, you realise how constantly alpacas are communicating with each other.

A fairly typical February scene here at the moment.

The sky has been that unrelenting shade of grey for what feels like weeks now, the ground is properly churned up, and the alpacas are various degrees of soggy — although they seem far less concerned about that than I am.

They’re all gathered around the low trough this morning, heads down and chewing steadily, completely focused on the job in hand. It’s one of those ordinary, repetitive farm moments that probably wouldn’t make a postcard, but it says far more about real alpaca life than the sunny photographs ever could.

With this much rain the troughs need shifting regularly onto slightly firmer ground, otherwise we just end up creating a muddy crater that benefits no one. So that will be today’s small logistical adjustment. Farming in February is rarely dramatic, it’s more about steady observation and quiet course corrections.

What always strikes me, though, is how settled they remain as long as the routine is familiar. Wind, rain, drizzle, it doesn’t particularly trouble them. Fresh feed, consistent checks, and their herd around them, and they carry on quite contentedly.

It’s not glamorous, but it’s honest, and it’s very much Rhyndaston in winter.

Meet The Herd: The Starry Night (aka Charcoal)

There is something quite grounding about walking with Charcoal. He has this wonderful, gentle presence that seems to slow everything down.

They say you shouldn't look down, but with Charcoal you can't help it. ✨ If you look closely at his fleece, it’s like a little map of the stars—deep black with these unexpected spots of brown, white, and fawn. I could spend ages just looking at the patterns nature comes up with.

In a world that often feels like it's moving a mile a minute, Charcoal just stays exactly where his feet are. It’s that 'Natural Calm' we talk about here; it’s not something you have to go looking for, it’s just something you settle into when you’re out in the field with a boy like him.

He’s a lovely reminder that sometimes the best way to move forward is just one steady step at a time.

Behind the scenes at Rhyndaston… it’s not always fluffy alpacas and peaceful walks.

This week’s job? Fencing in one of the sheep fields.

Some of our fences have been standing a long time (long enough to have earned retirement, frankly). One section recently gave up and collapsed, so it was time for a proper fix — new corner post, several additional posts, and reconnecting every strand of wire so the sheep are secure again.

Corner posts aren’t a “tap it in and hope” situation. They can take digging, bracing, lining up, and a fair bit of stubborn determination — especially in awkward, hedge-lined, difficult-to-reach spots. It’s physical work. Mud, heavy posts, uneven ground… and usually a bit of weather thrown in for character building.

But secure fencing matters. Good stock management starts with good boundaries. Sheep don’t respect optimism — they respect solid posts.

Farming is a seven-day-a-week job. There’s always something that needs checking, fixing, improving or rebuilding. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what keeps everything running safely and calmly.

Back to the mud tomorrow.
