Re: [AlpacaTalk] Minerals / Copper

 

  You misuderstood.I always use ! It is just my style of writting.It is not meant to affend you.I talk with my hands face to face and the ! must be my written version of that.I will try to stop the habit so as not to upset anyone.Bad habits are hard to change.I have many people that e-me with things underlined,smilly faces,sad faces and all kinds of figures and I do not like all that BUT it is their style so I would never lash out at them by telling then "hey I am tired of all your symbols and your stationary takes for every to load" It is just style diffrences.I will try very hard not to use any symbols.Please forgive me if I slip up in the future.T

            Because they are ignorant. (I am included in this generalization) Is this the answer you were waiting to hear?

 

            I appreciate you bringing up the subject, really.  But the exclamation points are getting old.

 

            I will do better research regarding copper, and will have labs run on the one girl I am feeding broodmare supplement. 

 

            I do know that alpacas require more copper than sheep…….closer to goats but not as much as horses or cattle, so if I feed anything not labeled for alpacas, I will avoid those labeled for cattle and probably horses, too.

 

            Thanks for bringing this up. 

 

            To anyone out there with skinny animals, please disregard my advice to feed Calf Manna or Broodmare grains.  While it appears to be working for us, I would not want anyone to have negative results due to my ignorance.
