[AlpacaTalk] guard llamas

 

hi - my guard llama, Lambchop, is a 7 year old gelding and he is worth his (considerable) weight in gold - i've seen him protect my boys from a large aggressive dog, and scare a bear away - he also settles spats between my boys with a "you're getting on my nerves" look on his face - nobody argues with Lambchop - yet he is gentle and sweet with us
 
the folks we bought him from called us several months later and wanted to buy him back - it was no deal. I wouldn't part with him.

I buy my food-grade D.E. at our local feedstore and it is only $13 a 50 lb. bag.  Try your feedstores, if they don't carry it maybe they can order it cheaper than getting it mailed to you.  The shipping costs are high because it is heavy.

Re: [AlpacaTalk] RE: guard llama

 

Yes, Janice - llamas are no match for a couple of aggressive stray dogs or a mountain lion, but they will definitely chase off a few coyotes.  Ours runs straight up to the fenceline, "hooting" her weird alarm call and that usually scares off any predator.  Or I hear the alarm call and go out there.  Between Sammy our guard llama (a female) and our hotwire at the top and bottom of our alpaca fence, I sleep very well at night.

It has been raining so much around here that the muddy pasture where
my alpacas leave their
manure is to moist to shovel, but starting to smell.
What can I add to dry up and perhaps help with the odor?
Baking soda? Lime?

Thanks

Re: [AlpacaTalk] smelly yard

 

we buy ours at www.Azure Delivery.com   phone #208- 439-1989               Fax 208-424-6911 we only buy it once a year, and if i remember right it's something like 50.00 for 100 lbs.  don't quote me, but that's what comes to mind.  I always order 2  bags of it, and it lasts me through the summer months. from what i understand they deliver all  over.  the only thing is is you have to go pick it up, but i only have to go about 20 miles for mine, and you have to pick it up on the day they tell you!  but I sure thought the price was right.

Where can food grade DE be bought?  How much does it typically cost?

Try diatomaceous earth (food grade) and lime.  It works for us.
