[AlpacaTalk] Re: Is there a guideline for pricing/choosing?

 

***I have noticed that the alpacas always run to the danger.They are
just so curious they run right over to whatever the dogs are after at
the fence line.I wish they would be more aware of what the dangers are
and run the other.Silly alpacas!!

Isn't that the truth! One of my boys got his neck slashed to the bone
by bobcat several years ago. I know exactly what happened as that was
the first night I decided I did not need to lock up my cayunga ducks at
night.....the FIRST night.
The bobcat must have been checking on a regular basis or just got lucky.
Anyway he/she took one of the ducks...and these are LARGE ducks.
And my boy was bleeding profusely the next morning with a matching set
of 3 or 4 slashes down his neck.
I can just see him going over to see what all the ruckus was about,
leaning down to check it out and getting soundly slashed on the neck.
He is my most curious and always the one to go see what's going on.
That was when I got my Pyrs!
The guineas are the same stupid. We have been watching fox watch us
all for the past year. Have seen as many as 4 very large ones playing
up at the edge of the woods. Whoever said fox are nocturnal must not
know GA foxes. These guys are out all the time. Whenever I hear the
guineas raising a ruckus I go running to see what is going on.
I have seen them more times than not standing in a flock squawking away
within feet of the crouching fox.
What idiots.
I constantly have to go save them by running the fox off.
The fox do not have to worry about coming to the pastures where the
chickens and Pyrs are; no siree, the guineas will just go right to them :-(.
I truly just do not understand prey animals that do not understand
predators are dangerous to their existence!
