– Hello, my name is Heinz and I am 14 years old. I came to Luccombe Hub Farm with my brother Beans and our friends Shaun and Barry because our elderly owner felt they could no longer look after us. We have all been friends since the sheep were lambs so we like to stay together, fortunately our carers here make sure that we are all in the same field together. 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! I really enjoy spending my time in the sunshine and I don’t like the rain! Thankfully, we have a nice big shelter to hide from the bad weather in. People often comment that I look a bit different from the other alpacas and that’s because I have a deviated septum, but it doesn’t cause me any trouble and I can still smell just as well as my friends
