Meet a Llama Farmer and the Little Frog

On Sunday we were very pleased to host 'Meet a Llama Farmer' at Mt Tanga.  We had a fantastic pot luck lunch and then our guests met our llamas and alpacas, starting with the mums and young cria.  These pics were taken by Tanya Boston, many thanks Tanya for sending them, because I didn't pick up my camera all day!!

Note Jade on the left - first class photo bomber!!  The next shot was completely obscured by her face and the lens was well and truly misted up!!







Subcutaneous and intramuscular vaccinations were demonstrated and then some of the young cria were given their micro chips.  This demo was provided by Glynda Bluhm as we are still rookies at this job, thanks Glynda :)



Next a walk through the Long Paddock to meet the older crias and mums in waiting.  Didn't see our resident echidna along the way, but did talk to the alpaca stud boys in the next paddock and lastly to Pedro before heading back to base for a tour of the waterfowl and poultry pens.



 Well hellloooo froggie!!  This little guy is becoming a regular visitor to my morning duck/chook plate wash up spot.  He's about 12mm long, not sure what type of frog he is?
