It's all about Alpacas with Gabrielle Feighner Baker. From Fieghner Family Farms in Haslett!

Some animals are amazing because of how cute they are. Some because of the colors they are. Today's conversation is about the animals that have the most amazing fur you may ever feel. They are called Alpacas and one of the places in Mid Michigan where you can see them and even acquire them is Fieghner Family Farms in Haslett! Listen Saturday at 9AM as Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen learn all about Alpacas from Gabrielle Feighner Baker. During the conversation, you will hear all about Alpacas and what makes them special. How are they different from LLamas? Why does their fur color sometimes differ from that of the parents? Why is it that you suggest having 3 at a time versus buying 1? How long do they live and are they smart enough to respond when their names are called? When is the fur cut and why is it so valuable? Finally, with Dr Schultz asking questions, his special interest in breeding as a veterinarian carried over into the conversation as you learn all about the breeding programs for Alpacas. These are amazing animals and Gabrielle is not only a smart and passionate advocate of them, she is well spoken and a positive trainer of how to succeed with them as pets! If you've never been around Alpacas, you will definitely consider it after listening to this weekend's edition of the Mid Michigan Pet Expert Talk Show - 1320 WILS on the radio
