Re: [AlpacaTalk] feed

We feed all of our alpacas their pellets. Ours have a negligible amount
of grain in them but are based on alfalfa. They are basically the
carrier for the vitamin mineral mix, and they have flax seed as well,
for EFAs for the fleece.

I do see that many people say they don't feed pellets to males except
during breeding season, and not to geldings. It;s not something I
necessarily agree with, but maybe those people give free choice
Stillwater minerals to the boys. In that case, I have no disagreement.
