Weighing, breeding and spitting
Monday, August 10, 2015
Life as an alpaca breeder during the long days of summer!
There's always work that needs to be done but summer brings extra chores – weighing crias to ensure adequate nourishment, breeding females and then spit testing! Yes, WE want the spits! it’s pretty amazing that some quick breeding gets the job done!
Jeff has the scale duty and I’m the scribe – he steps on the scale since he’s not bashful about it. It’s fun to play with the babies and nice to see them gaining weight and growing.
