:gig I only laugh because i know EXACTLY what you're going through

Maybe it has its just the temperament of the certain alpaca. Our friend has about 80head and has 3 alpacas, one in each perimeter pen. 2 of them are meaner then the dickens, and i wont go near them! One is a sweetheart, but he also knows his job, he's killed a few coyotes!

She made it through another night! So happy and thankful. I tried to explain to her that if she can hold until Sunday, she will be 145, and daddy will be home to watch my baby so i can give her 100% of my attention. She looks and me and BAAAAAAAAAAH! yeah i know, been there. She has dropped...

I hope she has a single!!!

Cute!!!!! Congratulations! !! Ditto what @Sweetened said

If she is a "very pregnant" gal, and she dropped, the babied are moving into the birth canal. The second you dont think she is ever going to give birth, you'll have your kid. No prolapse into udder...but can prolapse. Just try to let her tell you if she is in distress, if she is, she will...

That was my thought. I know on the top posts or each forum there is emergency info...but what about a general info, and great newbie info?! Lol. I can always change the name of this post!

Oh absolutely exciting. Many congratulations on your land and little cabin. Sounds like a dream. You have definitely been bit by the goat hoarder. .....i mean HERDER (lol!) You fit right in and welcome to the club!!!! I second what Southern said about the hotwire. Always has been the easiest...

Babies are thriving and doing wonderfully!!!! And i am doing quite well only checking on them in the a.m. and doing a nightly pic. I want to do a flash program with my daily pic to watch the progress. Super neat to see how fast these little guys develop!!!! They already have a ton of stubbly...

Miss a buckling?!!! We need does!!!! Lmao!!!!! I don't need anymore mouths to feed that aren't going to produce!!! Okay okay, wethers are great for showing and advertising ;) Thank you for pointing out the tag. @Southern by choice I use my phone 99% of the time, and it auto pops up. If i dont...

I am milking my does that are weaning/had babies go to new homes already.

Oh i agree completely! I even printed out the different positions and have it in my birthing kit, after what happened last year. It can be so overwhelming in the moment, i know i had a hard time even hitting my friends picture just to call her on my cell! Id rather be over prepared!!! That way...

Between you and me @Southern I'm scared to death!!!!! I'm just trying to be prepared. Truth be told, she has been our favorite doe since day 1. We have a kid from all of her Kiddings. She has ALWAYS thrown twins. ALWAYS. Her twin, the white/Mahogany in the pic, throws trips. So we knew it was a...

I brought the preggo girls over to the kiddie turn out while we gutted the birthing pen. I heard Fantasy making some loud yells, but i figured she was just hollering to her boyfriend, who is a clear eye shot away....after about 5min i went to check on her, and i swear on everything i thought...

How wonderful! What a great mama! Good looking out and planning on your part!

I don't think you will need to do anything. Your little gal will be so happy to have a friend and that little kid will be missing its mommy, poof, instant friendship. Over lunch of course. I always do introduction over food and out in the turn out/pasture as apposed to the in house/barn/ cage...
