Free Alpacas Newsletter- How to Profit from Alpaca Farming

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Wild Cherry

Hi Janice, Other thought I had is that you possibly have some
deficiencies in the diets??? I know that low selenium will cause prematurity and
other birthing and pregnancy issues. Have you had fecals properly floated and
spun? You would need to check with your vet. Not all vets do a proper
fecal check if they're not experienced with camelids. If not done properly,
the vet will miss a potentially dangerous situation.

You could be having a combination of parasite and nutritional issues??

I know of a farm that had several wild cherries in their pastures and a herd
of 30+ animals with no poisoning issues. Their only real precaution with
the leaves was to pick up any fallen brances, etc. following storms.
They felt that the danger wasn't in fall leaves dropping, just green leaves
fallen and wilting on the ground.

I don't know this for fact, not a vet or ag specialist....just passing on
what worked for our friends' farm. Perhaps you should check into this with
your ag agent.

Personally, I'd look into harvesting the trees for lumber. I know we
harvested some when we built our house and got some very nice cherry and oak
lumber for my husband to use for furniture building.

Laurel's right about not letting nice timber get cut up into fire wood!
