Mike, I did find some Llamas. A guy in Scott has some. I posted some pics a couple pages back. Was waiting on DR. Barrington to email me back to let me know what I needed to do in order to remain in compliance with NPIP. He emailed me today and said that no quarantine is needed because it's 2 different species, so no worry about diseases. That was my biggest concern. Now it's just narrowing down what color and then i have to go get them (or maybe get it - 1).

I want to get it on a Thursday and take off from work on that Friday and have the weekend to monitor it's behavior in the chicken yard. Want to make sure it doesn't stomp all my animals. But it will have plenty of land to walk around.

Talked to the manager at TSC and he is able to order Llama food for me. Now I have to pinpoint a vet that has Llama experience in the event I need to take it to the vet. No special diseases to worry about, however they will need to be wormed like the other animals. Same meds and rotating schedule. Sheared once a year and monitor the hooves/claws/toes like my sheep and goat.

Will be hustling materials for Llama pen, tall feeder and tall waterer.

I think that's all on my checklist for now.

At first I thought they were just deer but I'm not 100% sure. I plan on going back over there and talking to him to find out exactly what they are. I wonder if I he sells them.

Uh..., might I remind you...., YOU SAID that you were NOT buying any more animals for the rest of ..... ???? Let's see, was that the rest of the day; the rest of the week; the rest of the month; the rest of the year; or the rest of your life? Or, something like that???????

Whoops! Uhhhhh, well uhhh, well, let me see. Uh, did I say that? Man, I'm busted !!! Twiley, you were the only one who caught that. I should have known, the #1 school teacher on this thread checked my paper that day I wrote that and remembered what I wrote. CRAP!!!! Well Twiley - Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Julie. Julie dreamed of the day that she could go to work and not have the neighbor call her in a frantic state of mind screaming on the phone that the other neighbor's dog was in my yard chasing my animals. So the little girl named Julie began her search for a guard animal to protect her flock and to extinguish this loose stray predator or any other predator. Soooooooooo, this is why little Julie really, really, really needed to buy another animal.

How was that story teacher Twiley? Is that an acceptable reason?

You are too funny!

Those deer or antelopes are nice looking animals. I have to agree with you.

Good morning La-yers. I hope that everyone is up and having a great day.

I posted this on the turkey thread but I wanted to share my turkey story with all of you.


I always knew that my turkeys were a group of renegade cops but I never knew that they would take it to this level.

Well, this is my story.....................

Yesterday when I was home doing the chores in the chicken yard, I opened the guinea pen and stepped inside. As I was turning around to close the door, one of my guineas ran pass me and out of the guinea pen into the chicken yard. I stepped out of the guinea pen to see if I could get it to go back into the guinea pen. Well, that didn't work. The guinea took off and fly about 1/2 mile into the open field across the street. This guinea flew higher than my muscovy ducks. I was speechless. I immediately panicked. As I secured the guinea pen, I ran towards the field. Well, I look back and I see my turkey gang running behind me. I assumed that they saw the entire thing (NOSEY turkeys) and was running to see what was going on. Well, I made it over to the field and stopped not to scare the guinea away. Well my turkeys ran pass me and kept running towards the guinea. I just knew that the guinea would fly off again. The turkeys surrounded the guinea and wouldn't let the guinea out of the circle. I had no idea what was about to happen, so I ran back to the house to get the camera to get pics because I knew that this was going to be a good story to tell. I knew that the turkeys would not attack and kill the guinea because they are all talk (bunch of school yard bullies is what they are) and no action. I got the camera and ran back outside. By the time I got the camera and made it back outside, the guinea AND turkeys were back in the yard, so I assume the turkeys herded the guinea back into the yard. Well, the guinea tried to run off. This is when I started taking pics.

Below is the rest of the story with PICS. The pics tell it all.

And the chase begins

Onlookers wondering what in the world is going on.

Onlookers now know what is going on and are running for dear life. They want no part of this. Notice the ducks in background running for dear life.

A new group has tagged up and in the ring to continue the chase.

Turkeys surrounding the guinea to run it into the chicken yard.

Turkeys have herded the guinea into the chicken yard and ran it into a corner.

During the taking of these next 5 pictures, there is a lot of sounds, noises, screeching, gobbling and hearing every other sound you can imagine. It was a lot of back and forth as the turkeys took turns in the scare. The guinea is realizing that it has been caught and the chase is up. He is BUSTED.

This is the defense setup that got the guinea caught.

Guinea Caught

Disclaimer: No animals were hurt in the taping of this video or taking of these pics.

I have to admit that I would have NEVER caught that guinea without those turkeys. I'm serious!!!! There would have been no way. That guinea would have continued to fly into the woods until it was long gone. My guineas ARE NOT tame. They are VERY WILD. The turkeys went into the open field and circled the guinea, brought it back home, chased him down until he was too tired to fly again, cornered him and then I stepped in with a net to catch him. They must know it's close to Thanksgiving and afraid that they will get cut from the team (literally)

. Just joking. I don't eat my turkeys. This bunch are definitely keepers!

I LOVE my turkeys.

I hope that you enjoyed my Turkey story.
