Item Description
This book will teach you everything you need to know to be the kind of person a llama or alpaca loves to be around AND you can still accomplish your management job safely and efficiently. Included is detailed information on every aspect of camelid ownership from wool to weaning and from herding to halter fit. The chapters on Medical Herd Management, Herd Maintenance and Husbandry guide you through the birth of a baby, help you cope with emergencies and teach you how to assist your veterinarian with medical procedures.
Understand how your behavior is the key to training. Learn how physics, not force, can help you accomplish previously challenging tasks, such as giving injections and toenail trimming. Whether you have 2 llamas or 200 alpacas, The Camelid Companion is for you.
400 pages, hundreds of illustrations. Clever icons help you navigate through every aspect of training and caring for your camelid.
Review by Alpacas Magazine
Sometimes a book is written that is so comprehensive, so imaginative, and so clever as to be dubbed a "classic". In literature, there are the works of William Shakespeare, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Agatha Christie, to name but a few. Among classic reference publications, one could cite such luminaries as the Encyclopedia Britannica, Webster's Dictionary, and the Physicians Desk Reference. With so many "flash-in- the-pan" books that will be here today, gone tomorrow, it is truly my honor to announce that a genuine CLASSIC book has been written by one of AOBA's own members.
I do not choose the word "classic" lightly, either: I truly believe that "The Camelid Companion" is the most comprehensive, articulate, and sensible reference tool to have ever been written about camelid behavior. Head and shoulders above other texts of similar ilk, this is a book that every alpaca and llama owner - new and seasoned - should possess. It is incredibly well-written and will retain its utility forever. This, to me, defines a classic in the truest sense.
