Mac didn't come in today so the day started with some poop scooping.
At 9am the vet Dr Tara Timpson arrived with her assistant Anita.

Firstly we cut teeth on two boys that have overshot bottom jaws, a quick injection to calm them down then to work with the Dremel.

Next we scanned two females to ensure they were still holding their pregnancies.
Finally we chipped Buttercup who had just returned the day before and is in islolation with her mother for two weeks until we test for BVDV.

At midday Larry Vellozi arrived from Adorabella Alpacas .

We spent some time looking round the barn and some of the pastures, which just look dreadful at this time of year. Then we had lunch and discussed the future of the fibre market and whether a local fibre mill would be succesful....

I don't know why but that reminds me I must get some more hay.
