Got back home from town and saw a note at the store that the llamas were on the loose again. Last summer, Jimmy and a friend of ours ran an electric fence around the property but they didn't tension the wire properly so the fence wire sags down to the ground. With all the snow from this winter, it was impossible to pull it up from the ground and get it tensioned correctly.
The snow is gradually melting out so I will try tomorrow and Sunday to see if I can get the fence rehabilitated and llama proof. Worst case scenario: the Peruvians eat their llamas and I do have a large chest freezer. Probably a bit tough given their age but I do love stews and soups...
