[AlpacaTalk] RE: minerals

 

<<< Honestly, I think a whole lot of people are trying to make a buck
(3X) off the alpaca breeders because of the image of wealth and the
alpaca lifestyle. Yes, Minerals are minerals. They shouldn't cost
more just because alpacas are getting them.

So what do you feed? I am pretty sure I recall that you have your feed
custom made and have the minerals added, so maybe you are not using
supplemental minerals.

I am appreciating this conversation and glad I asked. I have always
fed Dr Evans formula. I thought there was a big deal about the proper
ratio of minerals especially blended for alpacas nutritional needs. He
even has a separate formula for llamas as I recall? The consensus here,
at least so far, seems to be that the sheep minerals are adequate to
keep them healthy?

I am thrilled to learn I can easily pick up some up from Tractor Supply
- where I go at least once a week. Life just got easier.....and less
expensive!

Thanks guys! Janice
