    We've got three Alpacas - saves mowing and they're SOOOOOO SOOOOOFFFFT and cuddly (although they don't really like being hugged) Anyway, what I really like best about them (and what made me choose them over sheep for the grass-eating) is the fact that they poo communally. They don't actually all go at the same time (although they do quite often follow one another) but they all go in the same place. So after a few weeks, there's a nice pile of Alpaca poo. I was talking to a local yokel recently about this; after the flooding around these parts, followed by lots of sunshine, the grass has shot up. If someone could harness that energy... Where the Alpaca poo pile was, seems to grow twice as fast - it's quite astonishing to see these massive grassy mounds in amongst the shoulder-high growths! (there's a few of them, as the animals wander freely and tend to have a pile or two in each area - I guess to save them having to go too far for a crap! "You should dig it all up once the pile gets too big" the local told me (He, I should point out, also keeps Alpacas) "I would, but then what would I do with it?" "Well, we put it on our strawberries." He told me. So, I tried it. Tasted like Shit - I'm sticking to cream and sugar from now on.

        Seeing grass that high, suddenly appear must be quite scary. Allamaing in fact.

                Do I get half marks because I've eaten Alpaca steak? It was actually very nice, with it's own distinct flavour (i.e. didn't taste like chicken) which was mild and I can only describe it as a cross between pork and beef (it looked more like the former).

                      You cud have done better, Udderwise quite amusing. We were going to move to the West Indies with the Alpacas, but there wasn't enough ruminant-igua.
