Re: [AlpacaTalk] Do you give your alpacas yearly rabie shots?

WOW!  you get a deal! My vet's office/home is 12 minutes from my
house and I pay $50 farm visit and $20 per shot! When I had my
animals at another farm instead of right here, I had to pay her $75
for the visit! I know that other parts of the country pay even more
though. It's like real estate....location...location...location......

It might be the best $2 I spend all year!
