Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Fleece and Shearing Question

 

                 Jessica get a hold of Steve and he will be able to help you with a shearer,worming needs in your area,preg.testing,ect.You are lucky to be so close to a leader in the industry.He won't mind helping you.My guess is if your girl is fertile she is likely pregnant already.Alpacas are happiest with a friend but keeping these guys together is not a good idea for many reasons.I would not stress them right now due to this weather.I would wait till the temps get back to normal then moving them across the gate from each other would be a good idea.You can call me antytime  or e-me if you have a question....BUT Steve is close and can really help ya.   I have had Alpacas for 11 yrs.

Yes, both the boy and girl are ARI registered and I have all of their paperwork. I know the boy is proven, I'm not sure if the female has had any prior cria's but I can find out. Like you I didn't care too much about details. I just wanted some Alpacas. We came across them at a reasonable rate because their owner was having health issues and was selling off livestock to fund medical expenses, sad really. At any rate I'm assuming that they probably kept the boys and girls together so they may have bred before I even got them. Its been almost a week since we got them and the past 3 or 4 days they haven't done much but huddle together because its been snowy and cold here. Alpacas are social animals so will the girl not be lonely if I graze and house her seperatly?

There is no way that I would even attempt to shear anytime soon. I will be paying someone for that!
