The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch / @TenaciousRanch / Steampunk Penny / Penellope Logue / Phillip Matthew Logue - Don't cry because it ended, laugh because it's still getting worse.

[Humpty hump]

Holy fucking shit Penny it's *YOU'RE you cunt. You're engaging with a customer you dense fuck.

Despite being 40 years old and having spent most of his life in Colorado, Phil has a pretty tenuous grasp on written English. Take a look at his autobiography, for instance:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

If I didn’t know who wrote it, and all the photos were removed, I’d assume that it was the life story of an Indian or Nigerian guy.

Leave the alpacas out of this you fucking monsters.

Excellent. Just excellent. I just love it.

Let’s just burn it all to the ground and salt the earth. Just when I think I’m done, it just gets worse.

Fantastic *chef kiss*

Cannibalism. It also reduces the overcrowding issue

Ignoring the grazing limitations of their land it is there is a hard number of each animal you can keep in one spot before they will just trample the pasture. Normal people will cross fence or at least use temporary electric fencing to keep the animals in. By rotating the animals it allows the land time to regrow.

Alpacas/llamas have a different foot type than most of your grazing animals. Cows and sheep have hard, cloven hooves that tear up the earth and kill vegetation like nobody's buisiness.

Alpacas and llamas have feet like a camel. That is to say, a comparatively soft hoof, which is really only the tips of the 'toes.' The rest is soft, leathery pad. Much less destructive.

With that said, for an arid climate (Texas) the hard and fast rule is supposed to be 6 alpacas per acre. I have no idea how many acres the Tranch has, but I doubt it's enough for 200+ animals.

They're constantly short on money and have grossly over-populated their land. Why don't they save on feed bills and fund their venture by selling all these crias? I wouldn't even give them shit for doing the name auctions and THEN selling the crias, because if someone's stupid enough to burn their money naming a farm animal someone else owns then they deserve what they fucking get.

The finasteride is weird to me. The pills are clearly under the brand name prosteride which isn’t that common in the US and would be pretty useless as they have prescriptions for spironolactone. I’m thinking they were prescribed it by a care provider without knowledge of other medication. The only other reason would be prostate concern.

Finasteride is often prescribed to troons who are freaking out about their facial hair. I have no idea if it actually works, it just might be one of those "here, take this and get the fuck out of my office" meds.

Also for fuck's sake that is NOT how you construct a French drain ya morons.

According to realtor.com, the Tranch land allotment is 36 acres, which means the maximum number animals according to your estimate is 216.

Fun story, I seriously doubt that land is this productive considering this much land with no structure on it on the east coast can go for half a million dollars easy as opposed to the 237,000 dollar estimate.

Someone a bit back in the thread figured out that the actual carrying capacity of their land was closer to 1/15th the number of animals they actually have.

If it's marginal graze land they will need to keep 75% of it off limits year round and cycle the herd every year to a different part. Even here in Virginia where plants are literally pests routinely controlled by herbicide you still see field rotation of cows and horses. I had a neighbor growing up with two horses and an acre of land.. those beasts turned an Acre of lawn into a mud pile in the span of 2 years and required hay feed for the rest of their lives. Just two horses. On an acre of lush Temperate zone land. I imagine the demands on the Tranch land would be far more severe.

If I remember correctly the stated carrying capacity for their area is 1 cow/40 acres, give or take.

Don't they have over 230 at this point? I mean, when I say six alpacas per acre (I considered getting one and looked into it for my area, sue me) I'm talking in Texas pasture land that can support grazing. With they number they have, they aren't getting the grass back and they'll always have to give supplemental feed.

That said, I kinda agree with the one person who said some of their alpacas look super gaunt. Like, I know they're weirdly shaped, lanky animals, but I really don't think you're supposed to be able to see the hips so well.

I think their shearing count was 127 but that doesn't include ones too young to shear or who were shorn when they got them. We also know they have 11 babies now so at a minimum 138.

That one brown alpaca looks fucked. Other than that their alpaca that was the white one I assume was one of the pregnant ones because alpacas aren't chonky animals and look quite comical without floof.

What do you think the odds are a few of them have worms and these dipshits are too stupid to be giving regular de-wormer?

'Cause I see a lot of troon pills and no animal pills.

I'm pretty sure the number of animals per acre decreases when you're trying to host them on a desolated lunar landscape. On a normal landscape they would actually have grazing land.

Let's not forget that Colorado has some of the highest natural radiation levels IN THE WORLD. In fact, I think it's the absolute highest due to a) the high elevation b) natural uranium ores. So radon, combined with underground life... seems like a recipe for success!

Well, they already look like The Hills Have Eyes extras and behave similarly, so I don't think it's much of an issue.

 

[Aunt Carol]

Since they aren't making money on the wool, they really don't need 100+ alpacas. It'd be smart to start gelding the males; they wouldn't even need a vet.

Running a workshop to teach other troons ostensible alpaca castration would be a community service. Bypass those gatekeepers and take back control!

These are troons, they're just going to let the already vast overpopulation go completely out of control. I don't think they understand exponentials, and that they already have, what, 11 crias? This is just going to get worse and worse. Troons are not good at math or at anything, and animal husbandry is no exception. If they were, they would not have turned their trooncentration camp into a lunar wasteland.

Maybe they assume the alpacas will troon out and remove themselves from the breeding pool, like the tranchers themselves did.

I might be feeling a bit autistic, but I really don't see why they feel the need to put every little detail of their lives onto twitter. Their shitty food, shitty jobs, shitty thoughts. Do they know what it's like to be alone for even a few hours?
