[AlpacaTalk] RE: age

 

<<< She'll be 17 this year.

Wow! We have a horse in mid to late 20s still doing good. I didn't
know how alpacas compared.
What is typical life span and what is too old to safely breed?
My first and oldest matriarch is 10yo. My stud is not the least bit
interested in her. I didn't know if it was because of her age or just
in general lack of interest in her? I have had them together, just the
2 of them, every day for the past month or so. He ignores her and paces
the fence moaning for his favorite who is, I assume, preg. Well he did
make a move in her direction a week or so back but she gave him the high
chin and he backed off. He was just a yearling when he came here and
she has always been the Queen Bee, so maybe he is just intimidated.
Perhaps it is more a case of *she* is not interested in him so he
doesn't push his luck. But I sure would like to get another baby from
her before she's much older.......if she's not too old. I would never
ever risk her for the sake of having another cria. She is far too
special to me - my AllieB.
Thanks, Janice
