Re: [AlpacaTalk] on getting our first alpacas



Thanks for the advice so far! My biggest concern is being able to
physically handle them properly -- this is something that obviously
needs hands-on experience, likely more than I can get by simply
visiting farms and willing alpaca owners. I'm currently reading "The
Camelid Companion" and as informative and great as that book is, it's
also quite daunting and a bit scary for someone who hasn't owned
alpacas and feels otherwise ready to get them.

RE: [AlpacaTalk] on getting our first alpacas



Great advice!  The only thing I would add is make sure you have a good vet close by,
used to working with camelids and a source of good hay.  Then you’re set!

 

Enjoy!

What you absolutely HAVE to do is.....take a breath....relax....enjoy your alpacas.

I was told once that 95% of the things you worry about never happen...and the other 5% you couldn't have prevented anyway. 

So....enjoy your fiber boys.....and ask for help when you need to.  Otherwise, you will learn as you go, like the rest of us.

Congrats on your decision to buy!!

So I've been prepping now for a long time to own alpacas (fiber boys), doing as much research as I can, reading a lot, having the pasture evaluated, and talking to alpaca owners. So my next step is to actually buy them!

I'm scheduling a few visits to local farms over the next month to see potential alpacas to buy, talk to them about their animals, animal care, etc. Now, here's the thing: I've tried to prep as much as possible with research, but I'm feeling like at a certain point I have to actually OWN alpacas to actually learn how to have them. Learning on the job, so to speak. There's only so much you can learn from a book or from someone else sharing their experiences, right?

So, alpaca experts, I'm ready to buy my alpacas over the next month or two. I plan to get three or four to start. What are the absolute key things I HAVE to know before I put them in a vehicle and drive them home?

This month some very kind alpaca owners will be talking to me about basic care that I need to know, and teaching me about trimming toe nails and giving shots. Obviously these require hands-on experience with the alpacas, so I'll be visiting their farms. Is there anything else that you can think of that I absolutely, positively HAVE to get hands-on experience with BEFORE I bring home animals?

Thanks for the advice, and I'm really looking forward to actually joining the ranks here instead of just enviously watching from afar as I've done for a couple of years now.

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



Hi there,

 

I might be able to offer an opinion…and at the moment, it is one that would be unbiased as I have no girls ready to sell….mine are either too young, or in the foundation herd, so I can afford to be unbiased.

 

Tell me what the options are and I will look tonight when I come home from work at 9pm…and I will write back tomorrow or at least the day after that…once I look at the ARI’s and so forth. 

 

Mind you, the contract which is offered for the package affects my opinion…but I can at least tell you if there is a difference in quality…or what the differences between the packages mean in the breeder’s world.

 

I’m in business of alpacas 5 years now, and in livestock my whole life long, off and on…so I have a bit of background to offer and I’m glad to help.

 

Allison
