This is a graphic video of a first time mama #alpaca giving #birth on our #offgrid #alpacafarm
Both mama and baby had a successful outcome. Because we didn't waste any time to get involved. Had we made the 2 hour dive to get to the vet - it may have been a very different story.
Mama's name is Selenite and baby is Helena named after my Grandmother and my middle name. Both still live on our #farm and are doing great.
Since it was a difficult prolonged birth, Selenite had some complications that I mention at the end. So we did take her to the vet to get to treated. And since her milk didn't come in fully despite Helena nursing good - she was loosing weight by day 3 so we supplemented her with bottles.
This is real off grid ranch life. We face different limitations and challenges by living so remote. But we are hands on #breeders and do all the care ourselves. We have started our farm with both of us having a wide array of skills to bring to the table. Like I mention in the video I used to be a registered nurse and the same critical thinking skills apply.
We started building our farm from scratch 2.5 years ago. Thank you for supporting our journey by subscribing.
Our first 30min vlog is coming Sept 15th. And we have 5 babies due this October!
