Hi Marty,
just have to tell you this.
We had to vaccinate our alpacas yesterday. We set up a larger catching pen and a small handling pen, similar to what we learned.
Altogether it took us 15 to 20 minutes.
5 minutes prep time to plan and agree on details, showing my husband what he should do on the inflatable alpaca. 😉
Moving our now 10 (😊) alpacas into the catching pen,
Moving them into the 10by10feet handling pen,
Vaccinating them.
We were able to catch them with the midline catch.
We only used the handler helper (my husband did great!) contain not constrain 😊
The subcutaneous injection was given in no time just as you taught it.
No fuss, no spitting, no screaming, no fighting, totally relaxed, no stress for our alpacas.
It was great.
Quote of my husband: “ solely for this experience the course already payed off” 😊
Thank you
Andrea
