So, a little more snooping and I found this tweet (archive) and if I'm reading it right, the tranchers are saying one truckload of hay is a full years worth. (They also sound awful "ladylike" in the video) According to hayusa.net, a hopefully accurate source, the maximum weight of a fully loaded truck is 24 tons.

These alpacas should be eating slightly over a ton a week. 24 tons for a full year is under half of what they should be eating. Literally putting their alpacas on Auschwitz level diets, no wonder they stripped the land bare and began eating insulation.

also 24 tons of hay is not going to fit in a pickup trucks bed

They had a full semi show up on the ranch to deliver it.

On a more interesting note, the one feed store I could find in Westcliffe, Valley Feeds, sells hay. It's a-loggy I know, but I called and asked the fellow there if they sold to the hay to Tenacious Unicorn Ranch, the guy sighed and sounded annoyed at hearing the name. Clearly having a good impact on the community. But, they don't buy hay from VF, so I'm out of luck so trying to find out exactly how much the Tranch is underfeeding their alpacas.

Oh, they don't buy from Valley Feeds, they have their own guy

Spoiler

In reality I think that they got a year supply from some charity and they're probably still using that

LOL no concrete and no levels. That fence is going to be as crooked as they are.

I wish they lived in a wetter climate so frost heaves would just fire those posts right out of ground.

Unironically this. They will kill someone shooting wildly into basically no backdrop. A kid died in my home state and another got injured a year later.

Boy in car injured by stray bullet from target shooters, Utah sheriff’s office says

A boy in a car was shot and injured Saturday by a stray bullet from target-shooters in Sanpete County, authorities said.

Always know where your bullets are going frens. The Tranch will be held liable for any collateral damage their stray bullets cause. If they kill some innocent bystander through their own retarded negligence, they should be lined up against a wall to receive new amholes.

Except this is Clown World and there's been a news article posted about a FTM troon who doesn't have to go to prison because the judge says she was boolied in high school or some shit. When even buzzfat commenters are noticing the troon "get out of jail free" card...

They're looking to create an official Tranch archive. I can't wait to see how half-assed it's going to be (has a website ever 41%ed). Now I wonder what the best source of raw materials would be.....

With the alpacas (and now sheep) breeding out of control, with no predators, I don't see how ruinous overgrazing isn't inevitable. Especially since the rejected (probably malnourished) lambs are getting bottle-fed and surviving anyway as a result, what's the tranchers' endgame? A constantly expanding livestock herd->constantly expanding pitybux->constantly expanding property, until they're big enough to declare themselves the Arch-Duchesses of Colorado? Pretty sure they're gonna hit a limiting factor before then. Probably in the form of the neighbors' working dogs discovering that there's a lot of free, tasty snacks just on the other side of that fence.

As far as the veteran posturing goes, the only thing being a Marine gives you an authoritative opinion on is what color of crayon tastes best (purple.)

Hey, it works for Africa's human population! /sneed

More seriously, are there any animals that get a little more reticent to breed when an obvious Malthusian catastrophe is about to happen (i.e. food gets more scarce and things get too crowded)? I know grasshoppers turn into locusts when there are too many.

She? Are you new around here?? It's no surprise that "she" is a balding, divorced, middle-aged troon, shacked up with another balding middle-aged troon. He's got a daughter too, poor kid. I hope she doesn't get bullied for it. "Yer Da's a furry and shits himself in public"

Moving away from etsy? I guarantee it's because their product is shit and overpriced. It's a competitive market. Having their yarn come up next to yarns made by competent sellers is probably tanking sales.

If they actually have 100+ alpacas, which I'm a little hesitant to accept to some degree because the images never seem to capture that large of a herd, they need a little over a ton of hay every week to feed the alpaca alone. I'm guessing they aren't buying enough which led to the alpaca and other critters stripping the land bare. Now they've hit the point they can't get any more grass, they might start actually starving soon.

IIRC last count was 200+. They had 100ish and "adopted" 100ish more. Which is where the next part comes in...

I think I remember they had a bunch of hay they begged off the comunity but I don’t have the time to find the link now. If someone could dig through the Kevin thread it should be there.

I remember my grand-dad once described someone as too dumb to dig a post-hole. I thought wow, that's really, really dumb. Is anyone actually that dumb?

Apparently, yes.

My grandpa said the same thing, but he used to dig basements by hand so I just figured he had high expectations.

I wish they lived in a wetter climate so frost heaves would just fire those posts right out of ground.

Average snowfall there is over 80" per year, believe it or not, and subzero temps are common. You might just get your wish.

This is very exciting news. They should get a webcam set up livestreaming to the website so we can watch the alpacas starve to death in real time!

 

[AssignedEva]

What do they do with dead alpaca and sheep/lambs? Throw them in an open pit? (probably)

They heard that the best way to combat their dustbowl was to add organic matter to the soil, and got confused

Seeing the full decay of the land this time. It's making me think though, if the alpaca's are hungry enough to actually kill the grass that's a problem. Alpaca's aren't supposed to be heavy grazers; neither are the sheep, so it is almost certainly out of hunger that they've done that.

If they actually have 100+ alpacas, which I'm a little hesitant to accept to some degree because the images never seem to capture that large of a herd, they need a little over a ton of hay every week to feed the alpaca alone. I'm guessing they aren't buying enough which led to the alpaca and other critters stripping the land bare. Now they've hit the point they can't get any more grass, they might start actually starving soon.

Even if the Alpacas are being given enough hay, they still are being kept so intensively that they will strip the land of all vegetation just to nibble on something different for variety's sake.

I know beef/sheep/goat producers in the midwest, a lot lusher greener area. They tend to keep their breeding stock in smallish dozen acre paddocks from late fall, through the winter, to mid spring while hay needs to be fed. Depending on the stocking density those animals will strip that paddock pretty bare, even though they're getting enough to eat. It's sacrificing a small patch of land to preserve the pasture as a whole. Some guys rotate and reseed the paddocks into pasture, sacrificing different patches each winter and letting them recover, and some guys just have a designated bare lot. (though in the higher rainfall areas, it's easier to rehab that land later, especially after all the manure application)

Even if the Tranchers were raising their stupid animals correctly, they would still have a patch of bare ground where they wintered them. But it would be a smaller patch, and they'd have pasture to turn the animals out on in the spring. Heck, if they did intensive rotational grazing (letting the animals into a small patch for a day or two and then moving them out) they might actually get some feed value off part of the land.

By letting their animals have the entire plot, they've wrecked it all. The land is not pasture. It is a feedlot. And every scrap of nutrition is bought and shipped in from another farm. Out west most grass hay is raised via irrigation on dedicated hay operations in a way that is problematic from an aquifer sustainability perspective.
