Ambriel Acres Alpacas

In this blog, I'm going to talk about our alpaca farm, Ambriel Acres Alpacas. We are located in the Middle Tennessee Valley between Nashville and Chattanooga. We'll be essentially starting from the ground up so if you're thinking about starting your own alpaca business, this might be a good place to learn. If you're just curious, welcome aboard.

Tara Goes Bush Hogging!

The field is getting tall and it's time to do some bush hogging. A bush hog, for those of you from New York, LA or Mars, is the term used for a large rotary cutter mower pulled behind a farm tractor. With it, you can purge your land of brush and weeds up to the thickness of your forearm.

Think of it as a lawnmower on a massive dose of steroids. It will cut through grass, weeds, brush, and saplings up to 3-1/2″ in diameter.

Like most farm equipment, they’re not especially safe, so you can also rid yourself of your forearms and other appendages if you’re not careful!

Tara loves to bush hog (she says it's relaxing and peaceful). Looks like a lot of work to me! I snapped a couple of photos for posterity.
