In winter, we put hay out on the ground to get the alpacas out of the barn, walking around and (if we’re lucky) out in the sun. Come spring, one of the chores we have is raking up the old hay from the winter.
Well, the weather has turned (finally!), the pastures have dried out and the annual raking of old hay has begun. So now that the alpacas have access to fresh green pasture, what do they want?? They think that old hay is THE BEST thing ever. For eating, rolling in…you name it.
Yes, those were raked up piles yesterday; today it’s a free-for-all roll in the hay. I can’t win….
