Updates...

Pearl, my female bred to Bogart aborted 01/01/09. It occurred within 30 minutes of my arrival home from work, as the fetus was still steaming. An ultrasound by Dr. Jones showed that the egg implanted in the right horn. This is not a good thing... So Pearl got traded with another full Peruvian animal..Hi-Way. Jamie helped me pick out Hi-Way. She is bred to Artero with a Sept. 2009 due date.

Other tasks I am working on are the re-building of my alpaca shelter, looking for a transport van and contacting SEO about updating and optimizing my website. Gene Genie Alpacas out of Michigan has a nice site as well as nice animals. A few of their studs are very striking, especially PRIDE! Wowzers.

Finally, taxes are in the works. Slow but sure. All my 2008 cria are doing well to include Firecracker. He was born very small and in-fact lost weight. It has been a bit of a task trying to put weight on him...up to 40 pounds now. I checked his bite today and observed it appeared to be forward. Firecracker will have his feet doctored this weekend and be kept under the carport to get him healed up.

Until next time.
