Autumn is the peaceful space between the hectic events of the summer to the chill
of winter where there is still time to tweak your winter management and enjoy the successes of the breeding season, whilst planning next year. Its also a great time to think about fibre and its becoming increasingly apparent that the uses of alpaca fibre are becoming increasingly varied and are often benefited by collaboration. We also need to think about winter feeding and in this issue we look at grassland and nutrition. The BAS Autumn Conference was hugely sccessful and we bring you some highlights but will be running a more in-depth report in the Yearbook. We’d love to receive your contributions, feedback, comments and of course high resolution photos by 15 December and I’m always available for a chat! Looking forward to hearing from you! And a happy Christmas – enjoy our alpaca based
gift guide!
