The name is decieving, Bug Check Field Formula, but this feed supplement is a great way to treat & heal a wide variety of skin issues naturally. We were first turned on to this product at the FEI World Equestrian Games several years ago. Can be dosed for horses, alpacas, dogs, cats, ect. It takes a little time to build up in the system & promote new healthy skin growth but once it kicks in, the results are impressive. At around 25$ per bag, a worthwhile investment & easy management fix for skin read more...

8 day old alpaca embryo
When the Alpaca Owners Association approved registrations of cria born from embryo transfer this past December, we knew we would jump right in. With our partners at Little Creek Farm, we began lining up embryo donors & recipients.
With very little adjustments to our techniques, we were able to quickly recover embryos in my alpaca research laboratory at Little Creek Farm.
To our knowledge, we are amongst a small elite group of breeders in the country to demonstrate successful embryo flush read more...

This is a great product we discovered through our local vet. THIS IS THE VETERINARY FORMULA- not the same as the Vetericyn found at Tractor Supply, WalMart or pet stores. The veterinary formula has twice the concentration of active ingredients, thus more powerful & works faster. Dont waste money on the other stuff; if it doesnt say " VF" on the label it is not.
Vetericyn VF is a wound care spray that works extremely well on all types of cuts, abrasions, scrapes. We use it on our horses and al read more...

This is a product that our equine Internist recommended a few years ago to treat an outbreak of cria diarrhea in our maternity ward. I was skeptical at first, but after trying course of Naxcel on a couple of cria with no results, out of desperation I tried it. How could a probiotic help diarrhea? WOW, is all I can say. This is no typical probiotic. The usual probiotic most alpaca owners use is Probios, which contains lactobacillus spp of bacteria to help with digestion.

I really love this one. This is such a great tool, I regret not inventing it myself! It is a collapsing adjustable aluminum rake. We have a couple in the barns & they are just perfect space savers. The rake head completely folds together for easy storage- we hang our tools on wall clips. Then when you use, you can slide it open partially or completely out depending on the need. Fairly sturdy light weight metal (aluminum), lasts.
These can be purchased from many places including Walmart, Lowe read more...

This could be one of the greatest products we have ever come across. An inexpensive plastic clip that slips over vinyl fence to hold hotwire or electric ribbon. These clips are virtually invisible with white vinyl fence, are durable, & WORK. We have acres of white vinyl around alpacas & destructive naughty horses. These clips have saved us thousands of dollars in potentially broken, damaged fence by the antics of bored animals. They are easily removeable & therefore save wear n tare or drilling read more...

This is an interesting product I think has value, in particular to those of us who work off the farm & really need time efficiency. These are automatic feeders with timers & ration control. They are wall mounted above your feedtroughs & can be set to dump as much feed as you want from a handful to a whole trough full. Great device if competition is an issue because it can be programmed to dump small portions throughout the day. Alpacas quickly learn to listen for the grain to fall out & go insi read more...
