John and Catherine are a husband and wife team from Southern Connecticut. We grow food and flowers on the new 40 acre farm we just bought and are building from the ground up using reclaimed materials whenever possible.

They were working like highly paid actors, stepping into frame at the exact perfect moment 😆

[@OldReddingFarm]

lol yah, they do charge extra for that. But they have their pay docked every time they knocked over the camera so it worked out in the end :)

[@toniblakeprojects]

[@archiediggins641]

Hey, Just checking in from The Highlands of Scotland. Great vlog!

[@OldReddingFarm]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@AlpacaMade]

Normally you know exactly what I'm going to say and to whom, you just have to wait for it...It was great to see you two on camera with the Alpacas again. The out-takes were great. Hello Maycee dear, I've missed you and am looking forward to you and Linda doing another fiber co-op later this season ;)

[@OldReddingFarm]

yah its great to be back with the alpacas more! we had So much building we were working on it was hard to focus on planning because it was just always go go go!

[@bronikemp8370]

Thank-u for sharing your beautiful babes with us. So much pleasure and enjoyment watching and listening to your videos. All your beauty's are very precious. I hope your farm is totally blessed.

[@DiggingForHealth]

I love them! Thank you for sharing your alpaca story. I didn't know you couldn't keep males and females together.

[@OldReddingFarm]

oh yah thats like the most important part of alpaca care! if you have one take away thats the most important one. Every once in a while we see someone online insisting that its fine and its just terrible to see

[@regie957]

Loved this video! very relaxing ... 😌 I'm headed to work and school drop off and needed a little alpaca beauty to start the day 💕

[@OldReddingFarm]

Sounds great! thank you so much for watching!

[@joannecarlton7340]

Sorry about the comment on boring!

[@OldReddingFarm]

haha thats okay, you were right!

[@barbarawalker3620]

😁

[@rosalynlavasseur6833]

Kids and animals...

[@anndorman4030]

OK, so trying to count as you talked about each one. I think I counted 38??? How many do you have??

[@OldReddingFarm]

haha no not that many, 23 . but if you think we should get 38 then we might just have to

[@anndorman4030]

@@OldReddingFarm Arhh! Nooooo!

[@regie957]

Thanks for the count 😆 I lost track too! Too many cute alpacas distracted me!

[@13MoonsOverMayhem]

Seems like you guys have a "maths" problem, lol. Started with chicken math, and expanded quickly to alpaca math and emu math. Lol, you know how multiplication works, right? Just teasing, thanks for sharing your story!

[@OldReddingFarm]

lol oh no we absolutely do ! chicken math and alpaca math worked very much in the same way for us! but we are lucky because we were able to actually move to make it possible

[@StarShine-Ranch]

Just found your channel. Don't know where you are located, or if you have a livestock guardian dog. We were told we needed to lock our alpacas up SECURELY at night. But we didn't heed the warning until AFTER cougars killed 3 of them! DO NOT WAIT until this happens to YOU! The heartbreak and regret are NOT WORTH IT, believe me!

[@OldReddingFarm]

Wow we don't have cougars in our area but if you do I'm sure they need to be protected. I'm not all that familiar with a cougar and how big it is / how big of an animal a cougar will hunt. We live in suburban CT and there are thankfully not cougars
