Free Alpacas Newsletter- How to Profit from Alpaca Farming

Re: [AlpacaTalk] Help, I need advice on replacing my girls after the dog attack.



I am with you on wishing this would have stayed private Laurel. I did not want to make any enemies or bring the names of the farms on here. That is why I put my email address. Sorry if anyone was offended, this was never my intention. Also, thanks for all the advice, I have made up my mind.

Thank you,

Wendy

Well shucks, while I stand by what I said, I would certainly prefer that to have been private. Don't want to make any enemies by recommending one farm over the other, especially since I don't know either.

Dumb mistake.
