I don't like crows...

A lot of ranchers don't like magpies either.

I don't like crows...

More of a raven gal, huh?

I don't like crows...

Me neither. I like crow decor, but not the real deal.

If I had sharks stalking my yard, I probably wouldn’t like them either.

WAKE UP lazy butts!!
I’m already closing the lid on an 8lb Boston Butt.

Too bad you can’t make a scratch and sniff photo from a phone. Someone should make an AP for that. We’d all gain 20lbs with all the good food posted on this thread!

Mornin'

Ohmygoodness! And I thought my mom's yappy little dog looked bad first time or two that I groomed him!

Would you believe I got about 5 pounds of fiber off him?
I had gone to Green Bay to pick up some alpacas I bought and the llamas came with them. The llamas hadn't been sheared in like 4 years...talk about a rug!!

SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS! THANK YOU, RALPHIE!

What am I?? Chopped liver???

Uh oh... I might be beginning to want one of those...

I never thought I'd ever own llamas. Until I did. Now I miss the dickens out of them.

Don't forget that they spit.

Yes, they and alpacas do spit. But neither bite and with soft padded feet their kicks don't generally do anything more than leave a small bruise, so spitting is their biggest defense.
However, not all of them are the spitty things you see on TV. Bandit (the bobble head) NEVER spit on any people the whole time I owned him. The brother did only once.
Not even when I had to doctor them up for injuries, not during shearing, nail trims, shots, nothing...
Alpacas on the other hand....

@SnapdragonQ Did your shears break mid way through ?

It was my initiation shear.... I was using kitchen scissors.

I haven't submitted my ticket yet... I made this quite some time ago for re-enactment events, when I lived near Custer. I'm pleased it's some too big now.

The broody coop, I built early this summer entirely from scrap--aside from the fasteners. It's on its third occupant.

A scene from the Mickleson Trail--painted last year... or maybe the year before...

I was so tired after shearing that fat 30 lb dog I can't even imagine doing a full grown llama. It doesn't surprise me at all you got five pounds! Holy Smokes!

I did get spat upon once by a llama. I was just walking by its pen at a small local zoo, looking for my daughter and her friend. I was SO mad. Naaasty!!! Are they good for scaring away coyotes, etc.? (Trying to figure out how to convince myself I need one--when obviously, I DON'T.)

The spit can be varying degrees of bile juice depending on the message they are trying to send. You most likely got a dry spit. Wet spit burns!!

They are decent for smaller predators and maybe just one or two fox or coyote, not a large pack or anything. Llamas work best in teams or trios and not all llamas make good guards.
My Bandit was a good guard, his fat and lazy brother on the other hand...
Donkeys or burros (I have one of those too) are better for coyote. Those also work better in teams but my female passed of old age so it's just the burro and my horse now.
