Re: [Alpacasite] Re: Question Regarding Eataholic Cria

Paul,

Thanks for the clarification. Your original post said that you stripped
several cc's (much more than we normally experience when we ensure the
teats are clear like you) and you also mentioned in your original post
that you had stripped it early and since which I had read to imply that
you had stripped her several times which is what confused me.

Thanks,
