Have I Mentioned My New Fiber Source?

Those of you who visit my homestead blog probably already know about Charlie.

He's a "woolly" llama and is the newest addition to our homestead.

He's just a little guy, 6 months old, who is to serve as guard llama for the goats (and chickens apparently), and a fiber source for me. He's already been sheared this year, which is just as well, because we have our hands full just getting him used to us.

He is a handsome little guy!

Wonderful color!'

Don't let him boss you around ;-)

(remember, he will be bigger than you are someday!!)

He's a very handsome fellow! Looks like a great coat, too.
