"Hey guys, Rufus the Alpaca here. So I'd kinda figured something was up when I saw them sectioning off and messing with my girls. I snuck a look over and watched Daniel pummel my Lucy to the ground, so I laid a trap for him. These people don't know me, where I come from. I was a golden hoof boxer in the bronx when I was little. So I waited until I got him in real close and then took him for a ride and wanted to find out what he was made of! Little did I know, Daniel was a 4 time world champion in competitive Ring around the Rosie, so unfortunately I was toppled today, but I spit on him a couple times so it wasn't a complete loss. That's it for today, hope you enjoyed it. Y'all have a great day annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd as always we'll seeya on the next video."
Best one yet!! You wrestling Rufus was priceless!! 😂😂. The ooh that went right in my mouth was just one for the books. God bless you guys. You make my day. 🖖✌💪💪
American Pride seeing how much love those donkey poodles get, I don’t think I’d mind being Rufus lol 😂 Make it an amazing day. As Daniel and his wife has spoken, Be a blessing and not a burden 🥰🥰
American Pride if we tried to pick at everything, we could never be happy about anything. If we always put effort into finding things to complain/debate about, we may miss blessings/positivity we could be sharing. The time we invest into speaking negatively, we could use to speak appreciation and life. God bless you brethren and make it amazing day/night, because no matter what’s going on, God is awesome 🥰 kNOw Jesus kNOw Peace
I never laughed so hard and will come back and rewatch as it is just too hilarious 😂 🤣😂..... Deejay laughed harder than I did !! “ Dances with the Alpacas 🦙 “ 😂😋😂🤣😂
I'm sorry, I laughed so hard when you were putting Rufus down, I was laughing right along with DeJay!! That was crazy, good job Daniel!! I can't get over that, it was really hilarious!!
@@nathanr.8556 yes I will defend this family in every sense, and I haven't seen too many people commenting on he almost broke his neck, that's crazy, he wouldn't have broken his neck!!!! I watched very carefully, and Daniel had Rufus in control of this!! Maybe not at first, but Daniel had to get him under control pretty fast cause Rufus wasn't having it at all, he did a fine job!!
Call a farrier, for any kind of hoof problem, alpacas, llamas, oxen, mini horses, and donkeys,mules, or horses, it's safest for the critter and for you!
I love the little sounds they make. They are cute! Rufus is a little tuff. Daniel don't feel bad about calling them by the wrong names. I had 5 brothers and 2 sisters and they all called me by their children's names! Or their wife's name!
I've seen my share of high school and college wrestling matches. I was impressed with Daniel's takedown of Rufus. Smart move also of keeping Rufus separated from his ladies. You get an A+ today...good job!!
That is so interesting! I had no idea that Alpacas had toe nails and the skin under their hoofs are soft. Learn something new everyday! So fun watching you with your animals.
Omgs I'm laughing so hard. Rufus just about got you. Glad you both are okay. But that was funny. Flying toenail treats for your wife. Always love your videos.
Daniel, you and Deejay are the perfect alpaca parents. The tone of voice and your calm nature with them really helps to get them to calm down (the girls anyways, lol). It is true, the more contact you have with them, the better they'll be. Friends of ours have alpacas and the young ones, especially those born on their acreage, are almost like dogs. They'll come up and literally lean into you (like Bear does) and want you to scratch them. I have to say, that picture of Lucy at 14:02 just melts my heart. She's a cutey pie! xo Heather🇨🇦
The loss of hair on alpacas noses can be a mineral deficiency. Buy some Zinc Oxide cream and put it on the bare spots. Do it once a day until you see it improve. If they have had the condition for years they may actually have formed a leather like surface that may never grow hair as the follicles have been damaged. Rufus is a pill. You did a nice job on the nail trimming. A gentle hand on their shoulders sometimes helps to calm them. Once again, nice job.
Daniel you and your bride cracked me up when you wrestled Rufus to the ground and how she was laughing. Y’all are the best. From your southern neighbors in Texas “ Thank you” for real life out on the homestead. Enjoyed the show. It was great.
😂😂😂 This was hilarious Daniel!!! Made my day. I had 16 Alpacas a few yrs back... I have more memories of them (a few of them) throwing my husband around😂😂🥰 They do get better if they are handled often. I use to have a chair out near the barn and they would come sniff me and lay by me. Some give kisses. They are a very special therapeutic animal. The babies are precious, being handled from the beginning they will be more friendly!! Great videos, thanks again❤❤❤
Oh my gosh! I was grinning til you said, " that went well!" I lost it and laughed my head off. Next awesome funny, she got toe nail in her mouth!! You guys put on a great show!! Lol
You did good Daniel, I laughed so hard along with your wife. The whole time I was imagining you on your other job wrestling someone to the ground so you could check their...lol.. I can't stop laughing while trying to finish typing this..... drivers license!!!!!
Share your moves with the other Troopers. Never know when they will need these new moves while on duty! May find Alpacas loose on the OK roads. Glad you five came away without 🤕. Trooper 1, Alpacas 0.
O my gosh I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. Then ur wife got a nail in the mouth. Funniest video of the week. Had to watch again, LMAO even funnier the 2nd time around. Still funny after the 6th time to.
I want to thank you for the "belly laugh" that I had while watching you and Rufus come to an understanding. He has a strong personality and poor Big Mack was minding his own business and still got spit on!! I thought, Oh lawd he's gonna stretch that long neck for sure.! Love your videos.
Daniel that was some wrestling match with Rufus. It almost looked like ya were using a police take down hold on him glad he settled down for you to trim those hoof's. Will look forward to your next video.
He didn't settle down... Just like any pray animal held by force, and by the neck no less, he was petrified thinking he was going to die... For any pray animal humans are predators...
@@egagnon9994 oh please. He had his arm around his neck to make sure they were both safe from head butt's causing injuries. He wasn't scared he was mad. He didn't want him to mess with his feet! He was perfectly fine.
😂😂 I believe that was the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Your Nick name, Boone really fit today. I'm glad you are so tall you needed that height for leverage. 🤗
I love when you guys get together and do a video that was epic thought you were going to read him his rights after that 😂 lol big Mack is so big but just wants to play 😅 thank you I was crying laughing
When I was an FFA we used to trim the hooves of cattle. We had a table that was vertical we would bring the animal alongside strap them to the table and then flip the table horizontal and then work with her hooves from there.
I used a milking station for a goat I just put stronger boards on the sides and in the front the sideboard so he won't fall off and added straps for the front in the back of the animal so they won't move that much and since I had bad back problems so I could do this chore
Oh my goodness!! When you wrestled with Rufus I couldn't help myself but laugh and it was half past midnight with my hubby sleeping like a baby next to me! There was no way I could stop and then the icing on the cake was when your wife, the 'owner' of said donkey-doodle, was hit in the mouth with a flying piece of muddy toe nail in the mouth. Sorry DJ, I had to laugh. Awesome job trimming their nails Daniel!
Daniel is the most patience man I have ever seen. I wish I had your patience. Of course I know a lot of yours comes from God, and I am working on mine. God bless y'all. Love and prayers.❤ 🙏 those Alpacas have the cutest faces.
I just want to tell you that I have been watching you and following your gardening advice for the last 2 years and have gain so much from all you wisdom.....But today I was brimming myself for the fall and winter here in Bend. SMOKE and all.... But what I can across was your farewell to your Hwy family. Your decision to leave was heart wrenching. I know that you were listening to our Heavenly Father's words. You have a beautiful wife and children and they are so much your priority. That is what should be. You have given so much to your community with your protective service and now this beautiful family of your needs you. I am 82 and live with my daughter. She is the mother of two College kids that are on scholarships....on hold to back to school. For myself, I love my yard and gardening. Since I have moved to her 3/4 of an acre I have taken up the vegetable garden and that's where you have come in. Love, love your presentation and the fact that the animals and kids come in the videos. Thank you for your wisdom young man and keep up your love of what your passion is. Tell your wife she is a gem and her sole comes through to me. Sincerely, a follower, La Rue Siens, Bend Oregon
Just watched Boise D’Arc’s video - he was a using a goat chute - goats go through and they are put on their side. Another one to watch is Blue Cactus Dairy Goats- she has a nice herd and she uses a milking stand. She also gives them a treat while on the stand so they go willingly for a treat.
I get a giggle watching your "donkey poodles" when they walk from behind...especially the brown ones...they put me of toddlers walking in blanket sleepers...lol Got a good laugh at Rufus and Daniel doing the " Alpaca Square Dance" Dosey-doe. Lol
You don't have to cuss, ya know that, right? Oh, I forgot you were videoing. Love you both. Such cool people. Would love to have you as neighbors. Just a great family. My favorite part.....the wrestling match. BOOM! Daniel won but Rufus did get one in on ya. That loogie right on your shirt, oh yeah, you had it coming dude. That was fun to watch. Take care.
Uh, I thought that since DJ wanted the alpacas, she's going to be the one doing the maintenance on them. Oh, I get it, she was too cold to clip the hooves. That makes sense. 🙄 😂
I haven’t been watching for long, I know your name but first time I’ve heard your wife 😃👍 what is her name? She is beautiful.👍 she can take care of all of the animals and, omg take down 👍👍👍😁♥️ Rufus don’t stand a chance lol 👍♥️😁. Super Trooper 😂👍🌟😁♥️
Damn that was hilarious! Donkey poodle wrestling, trimmings eating. An awsome video on your part and better laugh on mine. You may want to try hobbling them next time.
Their faces are so cute and I just love the sounds that they make they're adorable keep on having them don't get rid of them they're beautiful okay talk to you later bye-bye
When we work with our alpaca and llama it ALWAYS is interesting and if we were able to get anyone to help us, they always walk away with a neat memory burned into their mind!
Very interesting watch you wrestle Rufus down for a manicure !! Thanks for sharing. I hope you get everyone's name sorted out, so we'll know who you're talking about. Good luck and best wishes for a great week ahead !! BTW just love your sense of humor !!
I just found your channel today. I love your son,he’s a handsome helpful little boy. I subscribed and will most definitely keep watching, I enjoy watching goats. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I was laying in the bed watching You Tube. My husband is asleep. It was all I could manage not to laugh loudly. That was so funny when Daniel grabbed Rufus by the neck and gritted his teeth. Then Rufus went nuts. I was thinking Rufus just might win. Then a piece of hoof flew the wrong way. Lmao quietly!!! Then when Big Mac came to check out the action, Rufus just kept spitting at him and hitting parts of Daniel. I laughed some more. This video was the funniest ever. Loved it!
