Until recently, some of the parks in Lima (Peru) kept llamas year-round to trim the grass. There is a big park in my neighborhood (Parque Reducto), which was a battle site during the War of the Pacific (late 1800s), and I can remember going there in 2000 with my two-year-old son to see the llamas. They had two big white llamas and one baby who would graze all over the park and weren't penned in. Usually that worked out okay but I remember one time the llamas got mad and stormed a platform that was built at one end of the park. The llamas trotted up the concrete stairs (about eight steps) and started running toward a group of people who were taking a class in folkloric dance (maybe they didn't like the music). The big llamas started spitting at people, something that really impressed my little son! Eventually, someone got hold of the ropes around the llamas' necks and led them down the stairs and away from the people. So, yes, they make good lawnmowers -- but occasionally temperamental ones.

Hiya!

Ryegrass will make pregnant alpacas sick, but I think the boys would be ok.

That's an idea....instead of lawn services bringing their mowers by, they can just leave a few alpacas off for the day. Entertainment and a shorter lawn! Kathys last blog post..Qui se ressemble s'assemble - Only $1,200.00

Yes, they are cute, they do provide wonderful fleece every year, plus great tax advantages. And we do use them to mow our lawn, – but we have planted the grasses best suited for them. Rye grass can make them sick, and I don’t think they can eat the same weeds that a goat might.
