Re: Food for Thought../ Therapy Animals

Yes, they have larger than life personalities, and yes, they poop in one
place, and one place only.  And llama poop doesn't "burn" like horse or cow
manure.  I can add it right to my garden without waiting.  It's awesome.  I
tell ya...I need to get a couple of BIG, industrial composters and start
adding the llama, chicken, cow and horse poop - throw in some grass
clippings and leaves and SELL it.  It's like GOLD to a gardener...seriously.
 Plus, I use the llama fiber to spin and knit with.  They are awesome
animals to have around.  They make great GUARD animals for livestock - which
is how I got started with them to begin with (we had a lot of goats).
