The Alpaca Podcast for all things alpaca. Alpaca Tribe is for anyone who feels a connection with alpacas. It is for existing owners, everyone interested in keeping alpacas, people working with alpaca fleece or providing alpaca services, or those who are just alpaca mad.
With our guests, we will look at getting into keeping alpacas; making the most of the ones you have got (and enjoying it); ways to use the fleece, not just store it; opportunities to develop business activities relating to alpacas; and growing in your experience, wherever you are starting.
Each week we will be talking to people like you and to breeders, vets, producers and professionals.
The Alpaca Tribe Podcast is your place for wisdom, guidance and great stories about all things alpaca, from people who know because they have already done it.

Spring makes me think of alpaca births
Sheltering from a Spring shower reminds me of alpaca births here on the farm.

Be even more alpaca
Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!
I have talked about being more alpaca before (episode 97 back in November 2020) I wanted to revisit it and found four areas that struck me as important as the moment. I hope they might inspire you to be more alpaca in your 'normal life' too.

Sue Heatherington (my lovely wife) has just released two new podcasts. One is the reading of her book Quiet Disruptors and the other is called Be More Poet - about a posture rather than how to write poetry. Find them wherever you get your podcasts. And also

Do your alpacas notice when you wear a hat?
Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!
I have many hats and I wear most of them. The alpacas sometimes seem to take exception.
Of course, the metaphorical hats we wear connect to roles and responsibilities. Listen in as I talk hats and alpacas.

272 Learning through alpaca shows - even if you do your own
Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!
Alpaca shows can be a great place to learn what to notice, how to describe and what to give priority to. Lots to be seen and heard. Animals to be seen and lovely alpaca people to be met.
Often they are available online if you are not able to travel.
This is the link for the British Alpaca National show here in the UK.

YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bas5946/featured
If you can't get to a show maybe have one of your own and spend some time looking closely at the animals you have on your farm. Sounds like it could be fun - and potentially useful for you.
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.

Customer Reviews
Alpaca Owner
I love the episodes on building confidence with alpaca. It’s the little things we often forget when we’ve gotten caught up in life. He has a soothing voice and reminds me why I like alpaca even when they spit in my face as they have their nightly dinner disagreements. I would love some episodes that provide a deeper dive into management etc for fellow alpaca owners.
Life lessons
I do not own an alpaca but I may have seen one in person!
I love this podcast because it has a quiet and kind sensibility toward life that I find to be very enjoyable. I can apply these reflections easily to my own.
Podcast 116 emphasizes the coming of spring and separating the weaned young ones from their mothers. A shift in ones own life can be like this. Grief and puzzlement followed by a sense of freedom and a new day. Sunlight. Thank you.
Inspiring and Soothing
Even though I am not an alpaca owner, I find this podcast to be engaging. Steve has a welcoming, yet commanding approach as he dives into each episode. Steve provides plenty of delightfully endearing moments and details about the alpacas, showing just how much he cares about them. You won’t be disappointed.
