    Blending With Alpaca

    I have 2 alpacas and I want to spin their fiber. I have heard it stretches and should therefore be blended with another fiber. What would be a good fiber to compliment my alpaca?

    Housing at county fairs

    Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. M worm wouldn't be a problem even if they did manage to ingest it. Plus, I'm pretty sure that the other animals whichever ones they would be would have to be dewormed before the fair like the alpacas.

    Housing at county fairs

    Thanks, I'll keep this in mind. I know that the people I am leasing from show their alpacas at alpaca shows, so I don't think taking the alpacas off the land is a problem. They seem really excited about me learning about alpacas. I know alpacas can't go places without a buddy. I would bring a...

    Can alpacas catch diseases from horses,goats, or sheep?

    I know alpacas can get meningial worm and it is a requirement that alpacas get dewormed within 10 days of the fair. Thanks for responding.

    Can alpacas catch diseases from horses,goats, or sheep?

    I want to train an alpaca for 4-H and there is no one in my area that brings their lama to the county fair. Since no one brings their lamas to the county fair, there is no place to house llamas or alpacas. The available barns are the sheep barn, goat barn, and horse barn. I heard from the person...

    Housing at county fairs

    I emailed my 4-H event coordinator and she is going to meet with the fair board sometime this month. She is going to email me back after the meeting. I am just seeing where all the experianced people would house the alpacas and/or where the lamas are housed at other county fairs.

    llamas , alpacas or LGD

    I know from reading that alpacas don't make good livestock guardians. They just run away screaming, not standing their ground and scaring off the predator. I have heard of many people using llamas and dogs as livestock guardians.

    Housing at county fairs

    Hey, I am new to alpacas and want to train one for 4-H. Currently no one in my area has ever brought a lama to the county fair, leaving me with no choice but to house the alpacas in one of the other barns. They can not be tied (for the safety factor of them freaking out, the halter slipping off...

    Its not as bad as originally thought, but to be fair to all the counties, there were no poultry shown in MN.

    Is following me. (@BlessedWithGoats I don't actually own any alpacas, I really want one though. My avatar was pulled off of Google.)

    I Have My First Alpaca

    It would be used as a shelter and they would have constant access to a paddock. I'm just trying to see if I could even get alpacas or if it will always be a dream. My parents say that we don't have enough room for alpacas, but I measured and we do have enough unused land for 2- 3 alpacas.

    Fair is almost here

    Crazy how that works isn't it. I usually spend most of the fair in the poultry barn, but I have no idea what I will do with my time now.

    Goat Mineral for llamas?

    Based off of research, I would think the goat mineral would have too much copper for the llamas. No experience with either species though.

    Avian Influenza WA and OR

    It is in MN too. Can't show live poultry for 4-H, so they broke it into categories. X2
