I Manange 250+/- Alpacas
I arrive at the barn and administer any medications that need to be given. I then move to different daily tasks such as, medical data entries, ultrasounds, training for shows, trimming teeth. giving hair cuts, assisting with embryo transfers and vitrification, collecting fecal samples, administering emergency medications and placing IV catheters, rotating animals to groups based on nutritional needs, and many other daily tasks. Not a single day is a repeat of the day before! No monotony here!!!
Here's the first step for everyone
Volunteer at local barns. Dairy, horse, sheep, goats, and alpacas. Get your foot in the door and awaken your passion.
"Farm work is very physical and you will regret the toll it will take on your body when you are older."
