I generally don't enjoy seeing animals wearing costumes but that warrior alpaca looked pretty cool! Thanks for the video--it was very interesting for someone like me who is new to the world of alpacas. They're irresistible!

I am happy for you. I bought a high stack of alpaca blankets and used for curtains and for give away. I am already saving money on my electric bill. Thanks for sharing an important part of husbandry.

[@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch]

That is awesome!

[@kerryl4031]

Lovely to see all the different colours. The black ones made me laugh when they were eating as their teeth showed up! But I do like the rose-grey ones, especially with the panda eyes. Beautiful animals. :D

Love ❤️. Made me miss the dog show’s. I retired in 2019. I still live threw you and my dog friends. Loved judging.

[@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch]

Wow, that is so interesting. Yes, the show environment is something really special.

[@phyrewillow6463]

Thanks for the video! Lovely to see

Delighted to see this new video Tashia!!

[@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch]

Thank you!

I went to the one in Fort Wayne in 2020. It was surreal. Visitors weren't allowed in, only alpaca owners and vendors. Eerily quiet between the shows. Hopefully the 2022 show is more lively.

[@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch]

Wow. And that was pre-pandemic. I wonder why that was?

[@MuninnMyrkvi]

@@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch Sorry, wrong year. It was 2020.

[@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch]

Ah! That explains it. I imagine that was quite eerie.

[@robingifford2754]

Tasha! Can we share this on our FB and IG??? With credit, of course.

[@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch]

Absolutely!

[@phyrewillow6463]

I was wondering what your favorite bedding is for alpacas. Haven’t been able to find much good info about it?

[@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch]

Straw. It provides the best warmth in winter.

[@phyrewillow6463]

@@ButterfieldAlpacaRanch thanks very much!

[@robingifford2754]

@@phyrewillow6463 Unless you have Suris! Straw gets stuck in their fiber.

[@sonyadagan8102]
