Eggquisite Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 We're so excited, after the cold period & much discussion we have now decided to take the plunge & secured our next addition.. Alpacas!!! We won't have them for a couple of months whilst we sort other things out but we've made the leap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 How many are you getting? and will they be all boys or a mix of sexes? There are quite a few alpaca'y articles in the magazines (Country Smallholder + Smallholder) this month - I read a couple on Tb and I think there were a few others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggquisite Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 How many are you getting? and will they be all boys or a mix of sexes? There are quite a few alpaca'y articles in the magazines (Country Smallholder + Smallholder) this month - I read a couple on Tb and I think there were a few others Thanks lwescott, yes your right, TB is a concern and something we're very mindful of. Seems to be a little more prevalent in a few regions and the farm we're getting then from and were we live in is free of TB but we're keeping an ear to the ground for sure! As for how many five in total 2 stud boys and 3 gelded boys. We're really going we can show at least on stud later this year. Really excited! your frugal 2010 just fell by the wayside a bit though yes you're right there Redwing, still the intent was there We have rotavated our new veg patch does that go a little way to being frugal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
