Cliff notes from this video:
...

And stuff she doesn't say out loud:
- Tourist and visitors are a big part of your income
- Run a shop
- Never stop shilling. Note the dress she tries to sell.

There was potentially a reasonable income in overpriced pink and blue alpaca wool socks, gloves and hats. We've seen what suckers their fans are.

Thanks for the summary! It's uncanny how the Tranchers have managed to do everything wrong.
The lady in the video really emphasized the seriousness of heat stress (which is why shearing is so important). She said if you see your alpacas standing in their drinking water, that's a bad sign; they're too hot! See 12:47 to 13:43 in the video. You generally shouldn't spray water on your alpacas either, although it's probably okay IF they've recently been shorn and IF you only spray their legs & chest. Spraying water on their backs or letting the alpacas immerse themselves in water is bad since it causes matting of the fur, making it so heat gets trapped more easily. It can also lead to rotting of the fur & skin!

Notice in that first video how Pepe is commandeering the water and bullying the others away. A sure sign that they need more troughs, just like they need more feeding space, to give the weaker ones a chance.

Disease tolerance is higher in sheep and goats which then parasites can spread to alpaca and kill them.

A few pages back somebody posted a screenshot of someone speculating that meningeal worm might have something to do with the massive die-off. We know the Tranchers also kept goats around the alpacas (and also sheep? I can't even keep track anymore)... possible support for this theory?

Penny could get some’them teeth. Out from the corpses. It’s what people used to do, before materials to make decent dentures came about. Better than wooden ones.
Sheeps teeth, as well as battlefield soldiers. But animal’s wIse, sheep and goats probably besT fit.

The first blood transfusions utilised sheeps blood to humans, some pacca pearlies would work in a pinch- when u got a row of tombstones in there already like Ol’ Pen.

There really needs to be a sticker for the combination of Informative and Horrifying.

This one is close to what I was thinking of, but it's not Pepe:

Kinda telling on yourself there, Phil.

I seriously think Penny went back and deleted tweets at some point after getting criticism for the totally mysterious, unexpected pregnancies ( ), because when I try searching for "pregnant/pregnancy/pregnancies" on both Penny's personal twitter and the Tranch's twitter, there are only two results total.

I searched the thread and the word "surprise" and got some. Don't forget Kevin's twitter for tonedeaf inadvertent self-indictments.

Also vicuna are, to quote Time magazine

virtually impossible to domesticate

the things are not meant to be near alpaca or llamas. The Incans didn't try to farm them, noone rational would- they'd chase them away before they injured their actual stock trying to rape them, and kill them if the royalty wanted new clothes. No wonder the troons love him, a vicuna among domestic lamoids is like a trans-lesbian at a lesbian camp. But beautiful.

 

[Pedophobe]

Maybe Null should annex the tranch and we all show up to put the lolcows out to pasture?

Ethan Ralph and Fatrick Tomlinson would both need to be castrated for their own safety.

Wern takes the Pepe job but gets stuck trying the jump the fence and dies during the first night.

 

[ExsanguinateHorizon]

Doesn't surprise me that a sex-pest thinks Pepe, the raping vicuna is funny...

There's a video of a hunter that discovered a doe being harassed by a young buck, exhausted to the point she laid down in water and eventually collapsed on her side. The hunter intervened when the buck started to jab her with his antlers and chased him off, but the doe was so spent she didn't even try to get up when the hunter sat with her a while.
Penny isn't even considering the problem from the perspective of the female animals, only how cute and funny it is they're constantly hassled and impregnated by aggressive males. Really makes you think.

 

[stupid frog]

How did it get that name anyway?

 

[TheGuntinator]

I have watched videos of environment/ animal welfare activists of conditions on factory farms for chicken and don't care when they have a bag of dead chickens every day. Despite this I still won't vote for mandated fre range chickens. I just don't care about the dead chickens in the bag.

Such is my lack of outrage here.

You know why those chickens are dead? Because they were professionally slaughtered after being raised by someone who kept them healthy and safe until Kill Day to provide you with quality meat in exchange for money.

Do you know why the alpacas are dead? Because they had health issues that were being ignored, nobody did any work to intervene when they started dying, and sheer laziness. A dead llama brings no profits, and given how there's a mass grave its not like they're using any of the animal after death, for profit or sustenance.

Large animals dont just spontaneously drop dead on normal farms, before being dragged off to the butcher table. Someone on this thread already said it, but there is no excuse for this level of neglect in this day and age. There's no shortage of ways to exchange knowledge on how its done. I don't even care about the ethics of this beyond the needless waste of resources.

Even animal names violate their rights.

Can we add the rapist vicunna mascot to the poll?

 

[Marissa Moira]

They're killing more livestock than the Soviets did during the aftermath of Chernobyl.

 

[Poop Shoot]

There’s no way they didn’t fuck some of the young alpacas.

I don't understand how they can be expected to "check under the tails of all the females" to see which one had given birth, let alone set up a "boy's area" for their animals. As Dr. Jack Turban explained recently, "sex is a multidimensional construct: chromosomes, internal sex organs, external sex organs, etc."



Given this indecipherable biological muddle, there is simply no way to know what internal sex organs or chromosomes an alpaca, or any mammal, possesses. An alpaca with male external genitalia might actually be intersex and possess a uterus, and give birth through its penis! You can't tell just by looking.

In fact, given the stunning and unknowable complexity of biological sex, which only experts like Dr. Jack can even begin to fathom, surprise pregnancies should be the norm in farming situations. Any farmer who claims otherwise is just a bigot who does not understand college biology.

Yes, and so did the Vicuna too

Don't know for sure, but I was thinking more along the lines of...

[Pepé Le Pew, a cartoon skunk known for being a caricature of a "romantic" (rapey) Frenchman.]
The sad thing is that I think this is a very real possibility, and Penny finds Pepe the Vicuna's "antics" to be hilarious.

Cliff notes from this video:

Inexperienced ranchers should not be rescuing alpacas, they should have gotten a small herd of 3 or 6 from a reputable breeder

NEVER EVER mix male or female. They don't breed on a heat cycle, the males will just breed them whenever which can cause UTIs. A male breeding a pregnant female may cause an abortion. The male can actually end up killing the baby trying to breed the female during delivery because of a hormone spike.

Don't keep them with sheep, horse, chickens, etc. Not companions for alpaca.

Alpacas need copper in their diet, copper will kill sheep. Disease tolerance is higher in sheep and goats which then parasites can spread to alpaca and kill them. However they might be being saved a bit by the dry climate. Goats can be bullies and injure alpaca.

"some people just won't learn until the animals are dead"

Alpacas must be sheared once a year in the spring, this is vital to their health. They will suffer from heat and the weight of the blanket, can have a heat stroke in the summer and die. Heat stress is very serious.

So they pretty much fucked up everything, the video didn't even mention anything about getting way too big a herd to start with because I guess that would be such an obvious 'do not do this'. It's a cute video though and not very long so you should still watch it!

Hahaha oh lord.

I can tell you right now tranchers did not care about giving the sheep and alpacas seperate food. Just gave them the same hay.

Keeping the genders separated at first was barely any fencing at all, on multiple occasions they had to intervene to stop females from being trampled a group of 10+ males. The fencing they ended up getting wasnt much better seeing as that they could just... yknow. Jump it.

Of course this is the most bigoted and hateful thing to say, but I am not sure a doctor who thinks that sex is this complicated should have qualified or be allowed to practice.

 

[Free the Pedos]

We as farmers of lolcows are a lot more qualified than they are for this

If one of us inherited 200 alpacas, we’d post about it in off topic and discover that the guy who only posts in Ethan and the Bitcoin thread is actually a professor of camelid biology at Harvard and happy to talk you through their care, feeding, and grooming.
