Christmas Has Come Early

Christmas has come early for the Alpacas

They have there new shelter

 As you can see they are making use of it

 Plenty of room for them and a few more, it is 24ft x 12ft.

 As well as Martin's tractor, which is not staying there

 There hay racks have to go up yet, some guttering and the IBC tanks for water, the shelter will have a concrete floor put down, we have put it on the highest area of ground, and next year the field will be divided up into four paddocks, each giving access to the field shelter.

Martin worked for 3 days in the rain putting it up, we are very pleased with it and we are thinking of something similar for the goats.
