We have had weeks of over 30 degrees and up to 40. Heroides and I have been flat out keeping up with the Alpacas water in their troughs. Luckily Heroides had holidays over Christmas and New Year and has just had annual leave. There has been fencing to do and weeds to dig out. Thank goodness all the Alpacas were shorn at the beginning of December, and the pregnant ones are now blossoming. However the two new crias Blancanieve and Quetzalcoatl, meaning Snow white and the name of an Aztec King, were getting very hot, as their mothers went off to graze they lay in the shade.Blancanieve was born two weeks before shearing, and so was too young to be done and Quetzalcoatl was born two days after shearing. Actually we had to get the vet for his birth as he was stuck in the birth canal, all tucked up and very difficult to get out, but luckily he was fine. We decided to get a table out and the ropes that Heroides has used with the vet with castrations and give them a poodle cut with clippers. It took two of us, me holding their necks and backs and Heroides clipping. Quetzalcoatl was a very good little boy but Blancanieve is a little more feisty and she now has half a scarf around her neck which we overlooked! Still they feel much better and have been pronking around the paddock. We have just switched them and their mothers and two weaned girls for the females that are due with their births in late February and March. They have come into the maternity paddock and the others have gone out to the back, but they still all have access to shelter and are fed La Granja mix every day. We have seven girls due, mostly to our Appaloosa stud, Marlecchino, but two are pregnant to Pesito( our white suri) and Surenio (our black suri). Six very friendly young weanling boys are in the front paddock, they eat from my hand, some will be wethers and others future studs. Please note the advertisement in the classifieds, they are for sale and of course we always have females too and can do packages and two of our studs have to go to good homes too. So looking forward to the new births and I love the surprise when they appear, there is noth- ing in the world like Alpacas. I will be able to announce what they are and their names in the next article.

Page 24 www.windellama.com.au Windellama News - March 2009 STFFN - Southern Tablelands Farm Forestry Network Who will put trees back on farms now? In June 2008, the Federal Government dissolved the national network of 19 Private Forestry Devel- opment Committees (PFDCs), regional groups whose key objective was to put trees back into over- cleared farm land. The philosophy behind PFDCs aligns with the concept of ‘teaching someone to catch a fish, rather than giving them a fish’ - in this case helping farmers to implement self-funded, profitable tree grow- ing options, rather than dispensing one-off lumps of money to plant trees. Because of this approach, the PFDC program ran on a shoe-string budget, using just $1.4 million dollars of Federal money to run 19 groups covering the nation. This is in stark comparison to Fed- eral programs like Natural Heritage Trust which cost $2.5 billion and Caring for Our Country ($2.25 billion).
