[AlpacaTalk] gelding a breeding male

Hi,

I have a question about gelding a breeding male. The boy in question is 9
years old, and has sired 5-10 crias. I am considering purchasing him as a
fiber boy, but he would have to be gelded. First, is it an issue to geld a
male that is this old? I wasn't sure about the anesthesia. Second, I would
have to put him in with my female llamas and crias after he was gelded
(after a waiting period, of course). Is there a good chance that a proven
male would still calm down enough to be put in with females, or would he not
be trust-worthy? I've only dealt with gelding younger males (under 3 years
old). Thanks, Emaly
