[AlpacaTalk] a bi of early help

 

We're new to Alpaca ownership: we've had three boys grazing our paddock for a month, so I feel a bit out of my depth with the experienced breeders here. I'm struggling with getting the paddock the boys are not in ready for them to move into; I've just a small ride on mower and a petrol strimmer. I have read they won't like long grass , and they seem to stay away from longer areas of the paddock they're in. Will the alpacas cope with long cuttings if I try mowing it on my little tractor (I have no way of collecting a first cut)? What should i do - can't get a farmer in to top it as the slope is too severe.
