It’s been one week since our girl was down in the pasture. I hate to think what would have happened if we hadn’t started her on safeguard that night or I hadn’t noticed she was acting a bit off her usual self. I am glad I didn’t try and track down a vet to euthanize her. Safeguard and a small miracle really that she didn’t pass that morning.

She is doing great, I am not sure how much damage was done from what suspect was meningeal worm. But her balance is coming back, she finished her regime of safeguard. We gave everybody their shots this weekend and they were all super spicy about it, but it got done. I have read so many articles about meningeal worm this week. But I can say that the one that says safeguard doesn’t do anything for alpacas is wrong. Our girl is living proof that if you spend enough time with your animals and you know their personalities well, you can pick up any unusual interactions or behaviors and intervene early.

If not for that she would have been treated too late. They may be farm animals but for me they are still part of our family and I love my time with all of them. 🫶🏼❤️

Update on our girl, if you know me, you know I am hyper in tune with all of our animals. The slightest change in behavior and I’m on it. I think we got super lucky with Mimzy, I’m glad I am the way I am lol. We are thinking she has meningeal worm, which is a deadly parasite. However, if caught and treated early enough it is not usually fatal. Had we not dosed her the night I noticed she was off I think the outcome would look very different. We are still keeping a close eye on her, but she seems to be on the mend. Today EVERYBODY is getting treated with shots as preventative, meningeal worm symptoms can take up to 2 months before an alpaca starts showing it. Thanks for sending her the positive thoughts and vibes!

Keep our girl in your thoughts… we thought for sure she was going to pass this morning. I have never had a down animal get up and act totally fine out of nowhere. She got up after hours of being down and started eating and chewing a cud. I don’t believe by any means she is out of the woods, but here is to hoping.. we gave her some de-wormer late last night when we noticed she had started to act not herself. I have no explanation for any of it.

Unpopularluar opinion, but our alpacas do just fine with pasturemates. I love when they all play together, they all have such funny personalities.

Sleepy Hollow Homestead

At Sleepy Hollow Homestead we are a family of 5, and we are always on the run, but we felt we needed to be busy in a meaningful way while being sustainable. We took our big adventure in spring of 2019 when we purchased a herd of 9 alpacas. One had just had a baby Cria the day prior to pick up and we had zero experience in alpacas. We drove 4 hours to pick them up and 4 hours back and we were so excited to play with our new herd. We have 4 females and 5 males, Roxy and daughter Marigold, with son Oakley, Dahlia, Mimzy and son Lima, Gander, King and Notallama. A couple weeks later we added our two registered Nigerian Dwarf Goats Buttercup and Summit, and the adventure began. We also have honey bees and chickens, and so we started crafting which was our purpose to start selling farm products. in 2020 we moved into a store that sells Vermont homemade products “Robins Rustics in lyndonville VT”, we offer felted soaps, Lemon honey foot scrub, dryer balls made from alpaca fiber, felted gnomes made from alpaca fiber, hand made wreaths with felted decorations, Nesting balls, and gift baskets and of course honey and eggs. Fall of 2020 we will be breeding our goats to sell goat kids and we will be making products out of our goats milk.

The farm always has something going on, for instance we just rescued a 15 year old neglected Goat, a VERY LARGE goat with horns We named him HANK. He is living with our intact male King and he appears happy to have friends. We also do a garden where often times you will find a Russian Tortoise Loitering throughout, you just never know what you will come across at the farm. We are available for visits on weekends by appointment only as we do have 3 children and are often on the go. If you are wanting to visit the farm or are interested in our homemade products please send us an email or message the farm page!! Thank you for the continued support as we grow our farm and we look forward to creating more products for everybody!
