JOIN US FOR MONEY SAVING/LIFE-SAVING TIPS ON CRIA CARE!!!

July 11, 2009

Alpacas of Oklahoma, Inc.
Presents
Dr. Stephen Hull, Animal Scientist

“How to Be a Better Cria Parent” or
K (P+FM) = HC
What, you may ask, is K (P+FM) = HC???
Glad you asked. This formula will not appear in physics books nor in your standard financial planning material. It is, however, one of the most money-saving formulas known to alpaca caregivers.

Knowledge is Preparation plus Farm Management techniques leading to Healthy Crias.What others have said about this formula :

“I would not have two healthy crias walking around my pasture today if I hadn’t had Steve’s information.” Janice Robinson, member A-OK and AOBA national fiber committee chair.

“I might still be bottle feeding goat’s milk if I hadn’t heard from Dr. Hull. I have a great cria and no 6 month every three hour feeding schedule. Mama’s ok and cria’s ok, thanks to Steve’s pointers.” Bob Erickson, Treasurer -Alpacas of Oklahoma.

These are just a few of the many money-saving farm management topics that will be covered:
Provide a stress-free birthing experience for mom and cria
Provide action steps when mom has no milk or cria is troo weak to nurse
How to see and correct big potential problems before they cost big $$$
When to call the vet or “load and go”
What to say to your vet for maximum immediate comunication
Time-saving and life-saving emergency steps to take before getting to the vet

Dr. Hull’s Resume
Dr Steve Hull grew up on a small New England farm and rediscovered
livestock (alpacas) in the mid 1990s. Together with his veterinarian
business partner (Tom Cameron, DVM) spouses and families, they started a
small suri farm on a wooded lot in Edmond, Oklahoma (TimberLake Farms,
Inc).

At the time, Steve was a professor at the University of Oklahoma College
of Medicine where he taught and researched neurocardiology, but within
just a few years, Steve took early retirement to be the farm full time
pooper scooper.

Steve soon assisted national education and served as AOBA’s first
Education Committee chair (2000) and then ran for AOBA’s board. He
served two terms as AOBA secretary and later as vice president. He also
served on the Alpaca Registry committees and was responsible for
recommending the use of FTA cards instead of whole blood for registering
crias.

Education is Steve’s passion. He has given seminars at literally
hundreds of alpaca events both here in the USA and internationally. He
uses humor, (mostly directed at himself, but best at his business
partner!), as well as pointing out the subtle mistakes that most people
miss.

He now resides on a 40 acre farm where he jokes that PhD stands for
“posthole digger” and the “small” suri farm is now the largest in
Oklahoma. Steve also does private “on farm” as well as telephone
consults.
