Wednesday April 22, 2015 Happy Earth Day! Do you know the alpacas are one of the most earth friendly livestock animals? Well they are! Their soft padded feet are gentle on the fragile grasses, they do not tear up grasses as they graze, they use a community dung pile, and their need for pesticides is very minimal, so they do not negatively affect the environment by requiring their caretakers to use chemicals. In addition, they are beautiful gentle animals who give us their fleeces every year!
Photo of the day: Baron will celebrate Earth Day by growing more fleece. There is a skinny little neck under there somewhere! 🙂
