17.01.2022 Are Cria's are growing so quick

13.01.2022 Fly bite dermatitis. I have struggled for the past couple of years with several animals during the summer. Always the same animals. Always starts around shear...ing time (June). Always goes away in the fall. I had previously thought that I was dealing with a hypersensitivity to mites that I just could not get under control. Spent a fortune on Frontline, NuStock, MGT etc and was exasperated at my inability to effect any significant improvement. It now appears that it was never mites in the first place rather it is fly bites. Lesions are seen along the back, at tail base, on the insides of the front legs, armpits, on the nose, sometimes the flank etc. Often lesions are hard but constant scratching causes open wounds/sores. So now I am looking for effective fly control (I have fly traps set up and have sprayed wth UltraSheild but looking for other options) as well as treatment options. Once the animal has been bitten, how do you deal with the lesions? I have washed/scrubbed with hibitaine soap and dried and then applied antibiotic ointments and/or SWAT, but then the animal just goes and rolls in the dirt. And is there anything I can do for the pruritus? Previously asked my vet about antihistamines but didn't get any suggestions. As with most things, prevention is probably the best approach, but clearly I am late to the game here. Appreciate your help.

06.01.2022 Last night was magical! A HUGE shout out to Kathy McConnell at Hubbert Farms to help me host my first Aplaca Minis! We had a blast. Friends, you need to go check out their amazing store, it has all kinds of goodies!

04.01.2022 It’s been while since we posted, We hope you are all well, it’s Father’s Day this weekend and so sad we won’t be having our annual open farm days. But we have b...een busy, our store is almost ready for visitors, we have a bunch of babies on the ground. I thought I would share a few pictures, and let you know we are working towards seeing everyone very soon See more
