RE: [AlpacaTalk] female mating

 

            We have not been in the business long.  This May was our second hand of shearing and I was very concerned about an over due girl who looked like she was ready to pop!  I had the vet out on a Thursday to examine her and we had her leave us enough sedation to help keep her calm with the “ I don’t care “ attitude.  She was sheared on the table with no issues on Sunday.  The following Tuesday (two days later) we welcomed Magnolia into the herd.  17 pounds and beautiful. 

 

            I am a firm believer in using the seadation.  It doesn’t know them out……..just takes the edge off and worked wonders with some of the bigger boys that aren’t cooperative.  I intend to keep some on hand for the tough nail trimmers, too. 

 

            Sorry you lost the cria.  I was concerned about losing hers and am so thankful we didn’t.
