Go-at For a Walk

Someone is feeling a little tender this morning. Our ladies are almost four years old which means their reproductive system is aging. We're going to keep a close eye on them to ensure no one suffers any secondary effects like egg binding or vent prolapse.

For today it's extra calcium and water.

Our handsome 4-year-old boy had his neuter procedure today! Over the last six months, Tundra has been showing some aggressive behavior toward the other male alpacas. For everyone's safety, he’s had to be separated, but since alpacas are highly social herd animals, being alone just isn't good for his mental well-being!

We’re hoping that as his hormone levels settle down, he can safely be reintegrated with the rest of the boys. Fingers crossed for a little attitude adjustment! The last time he was near the other boys, we had a little spit off. He was not the winner of the competition. We often get asked if alpacas spit. Yes, they do! However, they will spit at each other as a means of communication and generally not at people.

A huge thank you to Springer Animal Hospital for coming out to the farm to take such great care of him.

Tundra is looking great, feeling fine, and will be back out to his pasture tomorrow!

Here’s Mr. Big catching up with his buddy, Lucky, through the fence line. These two have been pals ever since Lucky was a tiny cria, and while their bond is sweet to watch, keeping that fence between them is a big part of how we keep everyone safe.

Our three dogs aren't livestock guardian dogs, they don't have that innate instinct to guard and protect livestock. We love our three dogs and because of that they are never allowed inside the pasture with the animals.

No matter how familiar or well-behaved a dog is, predator-prey dynamics or simple energetic play can escalate in a split second. A sudden run, a startle, or a rough tumble can lead to serious injuries for both the livestock and the dog.

Keeping interactions structured strictly at the fence line allows our dogs and livestock to build safe, comfortable relationships without any of the risk. It’s the ultimate win-win: double the peace of mind for us, and 100% safety for the whole herd!

If you’re heading out to the farm for one of our upcoming Alpaca Lunches or a Team-Building event, you’ve probably seen the true boss hard at work. Mr. Big takes his administrative duties very seriously. He can be found running site perimeter patrols for rogue squirrels to providing strict quality control while tents and tables are set up. He keeps a watchful eye on the poultry, monitors the tractor work, and ensures our team strictly adheres to mandatory petting breaks. Honestly, the whole setup runs smoother under his watchful eye. If you're visiting us soon, keep an eye out for the head supervisor, he accepts payment exclusively in belly rubs and treats!

Did someone say snacks? Because I heard snacks.

Today while hosting a team building event, this curious one decided to get up close and personal during snack time.
