Farm Day

The whole crew

Zoey trimming toes

Sometimes farm day is fun. Sometimes it is cold. But this time it was funny, cold, stinky, messy, and weird. We gave wormer to the alpacas, clipped their toes, and got spit on with wormer. The hardest of all was getting Bruiser’s toes clipped. He struggled and he pulled but in the end he took us 30 minutes when the alpacas took half that. …….Zoey

where is the alpaca?

Today we went out and did alpaca toes and wormer. Well that is a big job! Normally we use wormer that goes in a shot but this time we had to use wormer that you have to squirt down their throats. So we had to wrangle all 5 alpacas and the 1 goat, Brusier, in turn and give them wormer. The wormer went everywhere...we had it on our clothes and on the ground. We had some friends over who wanted to watch, learn, and help so they were covered in wormer as well. My dad went and lit a fire and we all went to get warm because the weather was not very good.

It rained so we were wet and cold but we still had toes to do. Toes were easier because we have a routine. We pin the alpaca or goat up against a wall and mom or dad goes down and trims the toes. At that point I got my hands on the camera and started having fun with that by taking pics of everyone over the alpacas. In some pics you can’t tell there is even an alpaca! It just looks like they are all cuddling. Well all together it seemed like a fun, but long morning…..Hailey
