– Hello, my name is Ernie and I am 4 years old. I came to Luccombe Hub Farm where I learned how to go for alpaca walks after being halter trained. I am one of the bravest in my herd and I love to explore new things, whether it be when I am going out for walks or meeting new people. Me and my brother Bert are identical in appearance and so we have to have different haircuts so that our carers can tell us apart! I enjoy spending my time with Bert and also Tom Boy who has a similar personality to myself. In the springtime, we get our wool sheared to make sure that we can regulate our body temperature. Our wool is then taken and spun into yarn so that we can help people learn how to knit! My favourite season is Summer when I can lie down in the pool that our carers put out for us.
