Hi everyone! Me and my sister are leasing alpacas to show at the county fair this year and my sister needs a costume idea. I have already decided to to a disco theme. hehe. My sister needs an idea now. She also needs a costume idea for her horse. Thanks!

Heres another pic. This is one of Annabelle, the stonger sister.

Hi guys! The smaller baby is doing much better. We have been keeping her out with the momma and sister. She can walk and almost run now and is very playful. She is even nursing on her own! :woot

I do know that I have to switch wormers every time just like with horses, so I am at least a little knowledgable. ;)

The weaker baby is in the house now. How often do I have to feed her tonight? We milked the mama and have it in a bottle now, so we are going to try bottlefeeding her. We also went out and bought milk replacer (Unimilk). This will be an interesting night... Good thing school is out soon...

What would cause a selenium deficiency, because Ana had goat feed, hay, and a mineral block.
