Re: [AlpacaTalk] OB wire

Our wire, purchased from valleyvet.com is about 1mm or 1.5mm in
diameter. $12 for 11 yards! Free freight! I honestly have no idea how
many strands it is, it's out in the barn!

To trim the incisors, I start at the outermost set that needs
trimming. Usually only the first and second incisors need trimming,
so yes, it is necessary to do the outermost ones, then they're gone,
you automatically move onto the inner set and just keep sawing.

Fighting teeth need to be done one at a time for obvious reasons. :)
