Re: flower farm/llamas

Yes, we've had llamas before. And none of them stink. If you keep them sheared, and combed out...and keep them in a grass pasture...no problems. And they tend to poop in one or two places so they have nice, neat little piles...which can be used in your flower beds immediately without burning your plants up because there is no nitrogen in it (looks like large rabbit pellets). Don't know what kind of llamas you've been around...but mine don't stink. Not even the sheared wool. We have three of them right now. Now goats....the billy goats stink like nothing I've ever experienced in my LIFE. They pee on themselves like it's perfume for the girly goats...and it's supposedly attracts them. Ughh. We don't have any goats now...thank you.

Rene', have you ever had Llama's? Keep them in a pasture AWAY from the house
because they stink to high heaven. Just FYI.
