Free Alpacas Newsletter- How to Profit from Alpaca Farming

Tuesday, October 09, 2007

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: BVD

There are some farms that have gotten together and offered to pay for their alpaca vets to go to seminars, or they will pool resources and purchase texts, such as Norm Evan's book or Murray Fowler's. Just a suggestion if you have a vet who is interested in learning more and taking on the challenge of working with camelids.

When alpaca breeders show their commitment this way, it is usally received very well and much appreciated, and helps keep them interested. We have only a few large animal vets in our area. One of them told an alpaca breeder friend of ours that he can either make $8000 per day taking care of small animals, or he can make $1500 per day caring for large animals, often putting himself at physical risk to do so.

We need to do whatever we can to keep these great folks available to us, and help them understand how much we appreciate their availability (when they are available, of course)

There are fewer and fewer large animal vets coming out of the schools, so it probably isn't going to get any better!
