Bugger all - Llamas up to their old tricks again.

| No Comments
My previous post was written at 2:06PM as I was sitting down to a lunch (smoked turkey sandwich and two Mountain Dew Throwbacks (made with real Cane Sugar -- not HFCS -- the difference is very noticeable) when I got a call saying that a neighbor had noticed that one of the Llamas was out in the road. I run out to check and sure enough, Waylon is happily trotting down the highway while Pancho and Lefty were anxiously pacing along the fence-line. Pancho and Lefty are really sweet and I can get them to do pretty much what I want with the occasional treat or two. Waylon is his own Llama and indifferent to treats of any kind. I spent about an hour locating him, getting him out onto the highway and I had him going just where I wanted when an oncoming car stopped, a guy got out and proceeded to stand in the other lane with his arms outstretched just 200 feet from my farm driveway. He was too far away and I didn't want to spook Waylon by yelling but no amount of hand signals got the guy to shift. Waylon saw him, got spooked and jumped into a neighbors field. I was unable to get him under control after that and my pail of grains just made him say Meh? The three of them always stay together so I opened up the fencing panel between the two fields and got Pancho and Lefty through and let them hang out for a while. They were having the greatest of times grazing on all the neighbors new grass. I have grass that is just as succulent but this is grass on the other side of the fence... A dilemma -- they didn't want to move back to my property, they wanted to feed. BUT... If I let them feed for too long, their tummies would get full and the pail of treats would not have as strong an attraction. Needless to say, it took me until now to get them back onto my property. A long day. I was planning to weld up the stand for the new kiln but I will be doing that tomorrow... Have some smoked brisket for dinner and then out for a couple of pints. Head out tomorrow to pick up another spool of barbed wire and find out where Waylon eloped...
