Its too rainy to take the llamas out into the pasture today but we did let them meet their new farm mates inside the barn. We are going to let them gradually get to know each other through the bars of the pen at first to make sure that things go smoothly. We were anticipating some aggression from Ivy the goat (the current flock protector) or Jeb (the wanna be ram) and weren’t sure what to expect from the llamas but everyone was very friendly.Of course it probably helps that all of our animals are greedy little pigs and we were being generous with the treats. Though it looks like Ivy and Grace are rubbing noses they are actually both sticking their noses into Chris’s hand looking for grain! The other sheep were saying hello as well, they just wouldn’t stand still for a photo.
Sweet!!
I love hearing about the introductions between species and sheep flirting!
