A couple weeks ago I got a llama. I am very much still learning about him (llamas are SO WEIRD), but I really hope that next spring I can shear him and make something with his wool. It's so amazingly soft (and sooooo dirty, but I can probably wash it). I've never tried knitting with llama wool, or even spinning, but I truly love the idea of effectively making a sock out of grass.
@sundogplanets Congratulations! We have had ours for ten years and are still getting used to the weird, but we certainly can't imagine our lives without it anymore. Or the velvety snuffles.
@andreagrandi The llama is in a pen that is directly adjacent to the goats, and some of the small goats go through the fence and visit. This was the best compromise to get everyone used to each other. They will all be together in the same pen soon, but for now they are neighbours so nobody scares each other again!
@nab26 This llama has lived with goats before, but he was alone so he moved to my farm. Currently he's right next to goats while they all get used to each other, soon they'll all be in the same pen.
@mpj17 Everything! Someone told me to think of them as having the personalities of cats, and that has helped a lot. But I still really don't understand his body language or his decision-making process. I'm watching and learning, though!
