Management tip of the month
To relax an alpaca without the use of drugs, try essential oil of lavender. It really works! Rub it inside the ear, or on the foot pad and take a few deep breaths for yourself while you wait for it to work. Great when trimming nails, getting blood samples or any time you need a "high energy" alpaca to cooperate with you. You need to use a good quality essential oil, usually not found in a grocery store.  Try mountainroseherbs.com .... that's where I get my lavender along with other herbs that I use to keep the Blue Moon herd in tip top shape (more about that in the next newsletter). If you use lavender with an alpaca and have a good experience, please let us know! |
What's new in the ranch store ? We have added some great new soaps for the holidays. Try Winter Spice or Grandma's Kitchen and I bet you won't go back to Dial! What does this have to do with alpacas??? Nothing! I simply found that soap making is fun, and we have become addicted to the affordable luxury of cold process soaps. So I make it and offer it to friends and visitors. Soaps are $4 per bar or 3 for $10. Take your 2 favorites and put them in a porcelain soap bowl for only $12. Soaps are curing now, but will be ready to ship by Dec 1. To read more about the soaps now available , click here. Pick up a bar or 2 at our Holiday Open House Dec 13. Read more about the Open House below. |
 CCNF Truffle arrives in Utah! After 5 days in a very comfortable alpaca hauling trailer while enjoying a trip from Vermont, Truffle is back in Utah. She is pregnant with her Archangel cria, and for once we really would like to have a boy! After several weeks in quarantine she is now fitting in nicely with the Blue Moon Herd and we are counting the days until her cria arrives next May. Stay tuned for this one!
