Re: [AlpacaTalk] Heart Stopping Moments
Glad to hear that things ended for the good and not tragedy. We have our first cria due in a couple weeks......very exciting moment for us here at Never Forgotten Ranch.

Alpaca herd to a young girl who had extensive experience with horses.
We left at 5:00 AM. She went out at 8:00AM for the morning chores and
saw our oldest girl one month from delivery sprawled out in the
pasture - DEAD! She ran out and as she got there the Alpaca raised
her head and then she realized - NOT DEAD - IN LABOR! She ran back to
the house got her cell phone and ran back out dialing the midwife. By
the time she had the mid-wife on the phone the cria was on the ground
and trying to get up. SHe asked what she had to do? The mid-wife
said check for sex, everything else seems just fine. A girl - two
holes you know...we returned Sunday to a very agitated young girl.
She took us out and showed us the newborn. Two days later while
weighing the little girl I noticed too much embilical cord...hmmmm - a
boy! Not bad for her first time with Alapcas...her first day on the
job, a dead Alpaca that turned out to be a live birth she witnessed,
and got to do all the prep - poop plug, embilical dip and sex - well
two out of three ain't bad...:)
