We also had winners in the Futurity

Well, suprised as Marieke was....

She was looking at the fleeces at the Futurityshow and saw our own animals (just the fleeces) in the competition. Also Eboli (see former article on this blog) won a price. Never saw her, never saw her fleece. We bought her a year ago... So Marieke brought a little bit of all the fleeces for me to Holland. Not disappointing. But she is grey and not black!!!

BMI Baby

Marieke flew today with BMI Baby to Birmingham. Well, she booked online and printed a boarding ticket (just like we just to do with Easyjet and Flybee. She put initials on her boarding ticket and not her full surname! She was punished and had to pay a ticket of 175 euro each???

There was just a new law in England (UK), that they had to pay an extra fee / ticket for this. Well the original booking was less amount than the ticket...

Is this some fraud of BMI Baby. I guess it is. Never heard of it. So if anybody can explain: please do...

Further more a weighted the litte cria who's mother died of a nefrotoxic syndrom. She almost is 18 kg (in 8 weeks). So she doing fine on lambmilk....

That is a relieve.

Have a nice weekend,

Futurity show UK

http://www.britishalpacafuturity.com/

This morning about seven o'clock, Marieke left for the Futurity show in the UK. She has taken a friend with her. It's a great show. We went their last year and were exposed to a lot of super alpacas. That's when the (alpaca) virus really get us in a grip...

Hope they will have a great time...

Fibregest and Camelibra

IT AL STARTS WITH A GOOD BALANCE IN FEEDING!

This week we recieved our first shipment of special alpacafeed from the UK. It is very hard to find a suitable feeding in the Netherlands.
We did take Fibregest and Camelibra with us when we imported the alpacas. But it is (was) not for sale in The Netherlands. You can buy it by sending us a mail...

Fibregest is a combination of digestible “super soluble” fibres derived from cooked sugar beet pulp, alfalfa leaf meal and lean black oats, together with added seaweed meal, bio-availalbe minerals, vitamin E and Oatinol.

Camelibra is a complementary feed for alpacas, llamas and camels, designed to provide nutritional support for maintaining a high level of nutrient release and absorption from a natural, forage/fibre based diet.

For more information - mail us!

AAEV doesn't ban any alpaca!

Today I recieved a mail from the chairman of de AAeV.

He wants to clear some facts that I have been mentioning on this blog.
The AAeV never banned any animal specific from a severe country.

The topic is that the Alpaca Association e.V. (that I’m chairing) has never banned any Alpaca from any country, The fact that Kate Manker is referring to is, that the AZVD has implemented this ban in their new show rules.

Please make sure this is clearly understood!!

I am sorry for making the mistake. Just followed the information I had. AAEV doens't ban any alpaca from their shows.

It is only the AZVD who has implemented this totally absurd show rule! There is no technical veterinary base for this rule! By this blog I ask you to send an email to the AZVD that they maybe should reconsider this decision on the show rule.

email the AZVD: info@alpakazuchtverband.de

Many greetings, Leo
