Good Morning Don from (Australia). 

Well, I have put it all together and it looks
absolutely bloody TERRIFIC!!!!!
 Tried a 6 month
 old little female in there this evening and
Paca Trapper  is everything I had hoped it would
be. I used it to keep her still to clean her fleece
up for show this weekend, including clippering
around the eyes and down through apron and
also thought of other uses such as one person
eartags. It also made it easy to lift her legs
through the rear leg straps on her paddock coat
to get it on/off.
  Will put a bigger male in 
tomorrow morning for the final test !!!!!!!!
 
I’m loving it........

The PacaTrapper makes life easier for the pacas and their loving

care givers.

 We have used it to treat infections, skin conditions, and to hold a
 
girl still so we can check out a wound. We are 2 0ver 60 yr old

women - bad knees, etc. Actually I used it by myself to treat a facial
 
infection, was surprised I could do it! lol - so much easier than a
 
shute - sold our shute to people who had goats, sheep, etc.

.............There is a new product called a
"PacaTrapper
built by Don Marquette of  Alpaca Rosa Farm.
 It is an excellent restraint system that would
work very well with this fellow, but
that won't help you today.

I installed my "trapper"
in less time than it took me to gather my tools
together (tools scattered
and seemingly hidden in 2 barns and a house).
 It works so well, that
you can even trim teeth if need be. A belly band
 is used, not to suspend
the alpaca, but to keep them from vaulting to
moving side to side.

Disclaimer... Don and Carolyn are my friends,
 but I have no
financial interest in their product, but very
grateful that I have one!

Don,


I installed the Paca Trapper, did two alpaca
 
spa treatments
 
of tonails and teeth. These two are my

drama alpacas,
 
tending to cush or throw themselves. 


It worked like a charm! The results were

amazing.

Send anyone in the Eastern Washington area
my way if they want to see it in action.

Hi Don,

We are in our 70s and need help to make herd health
day safer for us. The PacaTrapper is working great for
our girls. We couldnt get along without it. We have a
very rowdy boy, but we are managing him in the
PacaTrapper as well.

Hi Don,

I just want to thank you so much for inventing products
 that make our husbandry process a pleasure!  Since my
 husband's surgery, I have almost 60 alpacas to take
 care of all by myself and to pay for help was just too 
stressful and costly.  When I received your email blast
telling us about the new "PacaTrapper", I went to your
website and viewed your great video about how easy it
 was to set up and use and decided to buy. 
OMG, I JUST LOVE IT!  I even took an adult male
that was never halter broken and even he just stood
there without a sign of stress!  I was able to walk away
and sharpen my clippers and return to my animal to
 finish their toenails without a hitch as they just stood
their patiently waiting. 

The AlpacaTrapper has saved me between $55-$135
per animal each time they needed teeth, nails, etc. done.
  I also purchased the Tooth-O-Matic, Fight-O-Matic
knowing they would also pay for themselves in just
one month's care.  I look forward to working with all
these tools on a regular basis that will make my job go
 faster and be less stressful for both my alpacas and
myself.  I highly recommend these products especially
now that I have to do it all alone.  Even if you have another
 person to help and you have a large herd, I would
recommend you have two PacaTrappers so one person
can work each animal while the other person sets up
and releases each animal so rotation and work runs
smoother and faster.  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

PS . Do you know anyone who needs a chute?

===========================================

The first time that I set up the PacaTrapper as
a vendor at the 2010 Buckeye show, I had a funny
 thing happen to me. After Carolyn and I went out
 to dinner with freinds , we came back to the
 facility
 to check on our animals about 11PM. The doors
 were locked! Oh Crap! So I pointed my car at the
 doors and hit my brights a few times and brought
the security guard to the door. He sees my
vendor ID tag "PacaTrapper" and says " Oh, Thank
 God you are here, Officer Smith was here last
 year telling me stories about how these alpacas get
 loose at night. I'm just glad you are here now, I
was plenty nervous about what I was going to do if
one these broke loose. Those *ssholes, they didnt
tell me they had hired a trapper"

There is an easy way to catch them and
get them into your barn. I wrote an article
 about that in the Camelid Quarterly,
September issue of this year. If I were close,
 I would help you out, but you should find
a farm near you and see if they won't help
you with that. The best thing I have found
is the Paca Trapper. It really makes things
 a lot easier, like giving shots and doing nails.
I don't sell them, but purchased one and
really like it because it does not take up
valuable space in my barn and costs a lot
 less than a traditional chute. What yo
u might also try is to get the animal between
a gate and the fence, tie the head to a post,
and then try to do nails and/or give shots.
That is what I used to do before I got
my "trapper".

Hello Don!
 
I have been busy using my new Paca Trapper!
I haltered Miss Coco Chanel ( the one who
 just about torn my shoulder off trying to
 get away from me ) and walked her up to the
 Trapper and low and behold!! I clipped her
 toenails all by myself!! Now , I just need
to order another receiver from you! Paypal
 is set up for the payment. Glad you 
designed this thing!! Rox

Don, 

I just wanted you to know I received my
PacaTrapper awhile back.  My son installed it
and I've been using it.  Very easy to use and
 I was able to trim nails on a tempremental
 new mom and she hardly moved.  Thanks.

Hi Don,

I bought a chute at an auction when I was very
 new to the business.  It had a chin rest and
3 belly bands, was terribly heavy, and took
up too much space.  Whenever I needed to use it,
I had to wrestle it into place.  My alpacas balked
at going into the confined space.  I would lure them
 in with grain/treats.  Once in and confined, I
found I didn't have easy access to their toes for
nail trimming.  The chute really stressed out the
alpacas, so I eventually sold it and took a course
in CameliDynamics.  Now I can give shots on my
own without restraints, and by clipping the halter
tightly to a gate, I have been able to do vaginal
flushes and a number of other procedures on my
own.  Toenails are fine if I have someone who is
able to come over to hold while I trim, but I really
wanted something to enable me to do nails on my own
 schedule, and I think this will do the trick.  My
alpacas are quite calm, so sonograms have never been
 a problem, but some of them don't like to have their
feet messed with.  If this works out as I hope, I'll
invite others to come over to try it.

Straps came today.  (PacaTrapper)Works like a charm.
  Trimmed up Triumph's toenails like never before,
 and with the greatest of ease.  I'm sold!

Hi Don,

Just wanted to let you know that today was only
the 2nd time I used the PacaTrapper. I worked on
19 alpacas in 90 minutes! I did shots, toenails, and
trimmed bangs ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!!!! ......I have
never been able to do this by myself in the past.
The first couple girls I pacatrapped took me a little
 longer to hook up, but once I got the hang of it,
 things went very well.

Hi Don,

Just wanted to drop you a note and say thanks for
 sending out the bite block. We received it yesterday.
 Also wanted to let you know what a fantastic
device the Paca Trapper is for the small farm
without a bunch of employees to help you out.
It is great. We absolutely love it. You may use us
for a reference anytime.
Thanks again.

One of my boys has an
abscess on his foot, between the toes. Vet has had
to clean it out and lance it twice, and I have to
clean it daily. How would we do it without the
Paca Trapper?

Pamela Dakin Harwood July 30 at 1:18pm
you should be getting an order from ******* Acres
Farm in MA soon. She loved it when she came by to
pick up some sorted and skirted fiber the other day.
