I'm sure I have a recipe for llama somewhere - I found it on a Peruvian website when one of my sons refused to clean out his guinea pigs so I threatened to cook them and therefore needed a suitable recipe

 

PS they were delicious in a white wine sauce on a bed of capers *rolleyes*

The two things I am going to do with them is breeding for sale (not eating *nono*) and milking.

 

It really started as a stupid idea with Delbert having some fun at me, but I looked at the land/buildings that I had and investigated opportunities. It seems that there is a market for well bred llama's that are well handled, I'm a British Horse Society Instructor (as some of you know already) so handling the llama's by comparison to a 17 hh mad horse is a piece of cake.

 

I have a friend who is into specialist cheese making who will develope a llama cheese, so we get the girl llamas pregnant, sell the offspring and then milk them for cheese production.

 

It took alot of working out BUT I think with patience it will all come together, with Delbert it would never have happened, I have to say I really am indebted to him for his idea - he just doesn't know how good he is *thumbup*

*wavey* GJT - have you washed that car yet 🤔

 

No it's just like cows (and the human wet nurses of old 😳), when the young are weaned if you keep milking the animal they keep producing.

 

Obviously, you do not take any milk until the young are weaned, that would be stupid *confused*

 

This is our first baby so we have to have patience, breed some more animals to get the 'milk flowing' sell the offspring and make the cheese.

 

I knew I shouldn't have mentioned it, it's all SM25T's fault for asking me other day why I was up so late.

(I did think when at the end of the year we hopefully start 'production' I might send Delbert a cheese to say thank-you)

Paul,

 

keep up at the back, you of all people I thought would have understood this process *confused*

 

The VERY first posting on this thread said we had 'William' the 'stallion', now I know this is the sheds, I know you are car guys and girls, but it ain't that hard to understand.

 

Now I am going to call her Llentil Llama because :-

 

1. I like it

 

2. Delbert gave her the name and he is connected with this venture (even if he didn't know it at the time) - I do know it sounds crazy, but if I am out there looking after our two horses each morning, honestly a few Llamas on top isn't that hard - they don't eat or sh1t as much as the horses that is for sure.

  • 2 weeks later...

Well the good news is that Llentil is doing well *thumbup*

 

The bad news is that her mother has got a mild form of mastitis, the vet has been out and she is on anti biotics (so thats £150 down the drain, with the visit and meds *mad*), the vet thinks all will be fine in about a weeks time but it is causing me merry hell.

 

Poor Llentil wants to go for a drink but the mother is so sore that she won't let Llentil drink, so I am now having to bottle feed Llentil - special powder formulation from the vet - more £££'s *mad* *mad*

 

So I am up all times of the day feeding Llentil but her mother is still very protective so she tries to rush/bite me, I got one nip through the sleeve of my coat which came up in a great big bruise.

 

The situation is :-

 

1. I am getting no sleep as I am on feeding duty.

2. I have an enraged mother attacking me.

3. It's costing hundreds of pounds to get sorted.

 

I am very *mad*

 

And the person to blame for ruining my life - that bl00dy Delbert, if he ever mentions Llama's again.........

 

It will be alright in the end but right here and now *mad* 🙆🏻
