I saw this used at a friends farm. The problem that he saw and that was very obvious to visitors was that it smelled REALLY foul. It seems like the urine must be hard to clean out of the foam. He washed it quite often but could not get rid of the od…
yes, someone Did buy the ET auction lot. Anthony Stachowski was high bidder at the time Carolyn left the Gems and Genetics sale. I thought the ET auction lot was a good promotional idea for the auction.
The Reason for selling the ET was to draw awar…

Thanks for all the input!!!! I am really starting to like this! Let us know how sales are going and how others like it!
Hi Maryann,
I have been using the actual PacaTrapper for about 4-5 months and the prototype a few months before that. I focussed attention on a better head restraint system for my Fight O Matic. I knew that I would need a good method of keeping the…
Im curious about this Don. How long have you been using it and how long does it take to really strap in the alpaca and get it situated?
Just wanted to introduce to everyone my latest product development I call the PacaTrapper. I have been using mine now for about 4 months and it allows me to do just about everything to my alpaca all by myself. Tooth a Matic trimmings, Fight o Matic…
Hi Jami,
We have purchased well over 100 alpacas, and about 10 from Canada over the years. We had good experience with all Canadian purchases, except for running into US border control issues. I believe it is more risky, because of potential legal…
Hi Lisa,
yes , some females need their fighting teeth cut. since they dont generally get as long and dont tend to fight like boys, not many breeders trim them. But as a breeder, you can slice open your hand on a female with fighten teeth.. Thanks f…

We were thinking we would make a smaller area that we put traditional no climb horse fence on the inside of the electric fence and keep them there most of the time. Only let them into the big hay field a few hours a day when we are watching them. At least until we get a feel for our neighborhood critters. The neighbors are all farms with electric fence and barbwire and they all say they don't have a problem with coyotes. But, most of the farms are horse and cows. I don't really see dogs chasing cows around. LOL!

- Thank you for the encouragement! I am so excited! The new farm has 5 acres of Electric fenced pasture (Orchard Grass) and A Small Barn. The electric fencing is 3 low strands. The poles are high and I think If I space out 2 more rounds of electric fencing it will be perfect for Alpacas. Maybe even one round could just be uncharged. Had goats before. I just can't wait!
