Alpaca’s and Ellie helping



The first step to preparing our vegetable garden was to get rid of the high grass.  We thought this would be a good job for the alpacas.  The garden area doesn’t directly connect to the paddock, so we had to put up a temporary fence.
 
Ellie helped put the tape fence up and tested out the path from the paddock to the garden.  Then she called through the fence to the alpacas and told them to follow the leader, which was her.  She then proceeded to walk again from the paddock to the garden.  The alpacas watched her and when they didn’t follow she started to talk to them about how they needed to play the game with her.
