Alpaca or llama - what's the difference? 🦙🦙🦙

At the end of our farm tour, you get the opportunity to meet our curious alpacas, and one of the most common questions we are asked is what is the difference between alpacas and llamas? 🤔

Alpacas and llamas both originate from South America and are both members of the camelid family, but there are a few differences between them! 🐪🐫 Llamas are larger in size with longer faces than alpacas, and have two layers of fleece instead of one!

Stay tuned for more fun facts about our animals next week! ✨✨✨

Merino sheep are prized for their luxuriously soft wool but did you also know that they are also known for their flocking instinct? 🐑🐑🐑

Flocking means that sheep like to stick together in close-knit groups, for their safety and security and it means they have strong social bonds too! 🌟🌻✨

So next time you see a fluffy merino sheep, remember it's not just about the wool! Their strong social bond is a fascinating adaptation that has helped them thrive for centuries! 🐑
