but OMG! i just went and tried to feed them again...i want to be sure they are eating before i put them outside..because they are just weaned...and one ate some pellets from my hand!....i AM in love! they are SO gentle!... but the other one wont eat anything.*just kept looking at me like i was a freak...

..*...no hay... nothing!...i cant put him outside if i dont see him eat....hes still a baby!...and bil..i can see a definate differance in their coats now.*i'll take a better pic to show you..one is tight..the other is longer and loose and straighter..sooo, i wonder if i have the 2 kinds you metioned?.....which is better for the fiber?...again...i know these are pet quailty...just wondering which fiber is better for spinning...thanks, Wendy

I just love it, I want an alpaca or two in my house!

I do have a cow though, and she's been in the house, spent her first few nights there! I wouldn't let her in now, cow poop is the worst! Sometimes I have to clean the porch if she gets out, because she likes to lay in front of the door.

you are my hero..i honestly love cows more than any creature....when we lived in florida our yard adjoined a cow pasture....and every day...with out fail they would all come to the fence and wait for treats....they would let us pet them except when the bull bellowed..then the girls would back off...then we would feed him first and then feed them.*typical man!..UGH!..*...i have pics somewhere! this bull was massive!...i'll dig them out and scan them and send them to you.....then there was the night the imigrants stole a calf...and the cow went nuts looking for it...she broke through our fence, and dummy me...

i tried to approach her to calm her down..um..BAD idea..she charged me and stomped my foot..knocked me on my tush....gave me a new respect for them (and a foot the size of a football!)...

still love them though....i really hope some day i can get one...
