Unfortuneately our fencing was not complete this past weekend. The weather was very poor with lots of rain and wind plus the main fencer was sick with the flu. One of our dogs got past the temporary fencing and chased the male alpacas which is what we were hoping to avoid. Our dog ended up being kicked by one of the males and now is walking around with a major limp. While nothing seems broken we will monitor. Hopefully our dog has learned his lesson but I still want to get the fencing done so this can be avoided in the future.
Also picked up a couple of barn cats from the SPCA this weekend on the way home from the show. Hopefully they like their new home and will catch the mice and maybe destroy some pigeon nests.
Another benefit of attending the show is that one of the Vets who owns Alpacas has got the local FEED company to make up a grain and mineral mix which is appropriate for Alpacas and now will be distributed in their system upon request. The supplier had sample bags to take home. The females took to it right away.
