Subject: [AlpacaTalk] First time daddy!!

hi guys!
just had to share with someone that my
herdsire became a daddy for the first time this
week!! It's a beautiful 17+ pound silver gray
boy!! He has a white face and chest( I think
they call it the tuxcedo style) and white
leggings. the rest is a darker silver gray, with
a small patch of auburn on his rump (his daddy's
color). The dam's owner sold her before the
birth, and the new owner has named him sterling.
I'm sooo proud of my boy. it looks like sterling
will carry on his daddy's great thick crimp too.
just had to brag a little. Though it's very hard
when the new one doesn't belong to you. thanks
for the support guys. it was harder then I
thought not to have control over this cria.
have a great day!

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Cherry trees: how toxic?

Tish,

Back in 1982 or 83 I added 4 more acres to my property. It was full of Huge
wild cherry trees. Because of the danger of drying fallen leaves that
contained cyanide I cut them down and had them sawn into lumber. I had the
stumps removed by a huge bull dozer/front end crawler tractor and burned or
buried, at considerable expense I might add. At the time I was raising show
quality llamas and wanted this additional ground for them.

There was considerable talk about the roots and stumps harboring a parasite
that would become a death warrant to the llamas through a parasite that
wanted to nest in the stump and roots. Now mind you this was in conjunction
with the white tail deer which lived in these areas. Many people back then
who lived in white tail deer country spent tons of money removing the cherry
trees as I did. I don't think that if you don't have any white tail deer
around the cherry trees are harmless but I certainly would not take any
chances with the wilting cherry leaves. Japanese Yews will also kill
camelids so don't trim any and throw the trimmings near where the animals
can eat them.

My husband and I are new alpaca owners who live in a very wooded area. We
have cleared a number of what are referred to locally as "swamp cherry"
trees from the area surrounding the paddocks, but are concerned about some
of these trees over the property line (about 75 feet) on our neighbor's land
Our concern is not for branches falling, but the occasional leaf that may
stray into the pen area. How bad would it be for an alpaca to injest a leaf
or two? And what about dried leaves in the fall? Are they still toxic?
Thanks in advance for any advice for us newbies!

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Cherry trees: how toxic?

Dried leaves in the fall are the very ones that
are toxic.
That is what we have been told by the experts.
Of course they were talking about trees that had
been cut down
or were standing and the leaves turning color in
the fall.
I have been told that the leaves are not toxic
after they are
thoroughly dried out and are blowing around, and
that a stray
leaf or two does not contain enough toxic
material to hurt
anything.
I did not take any chances. I asked my neighbor
to let me cut
down the scrub cherry trees on his land, and he
consented.
