@Bruce goats and sheep are both particularly susceptible to worms. In fact I read recently that keeping alpacas with sheep and/or goats can cause problems with worms for the alpacas. Primarily because the alpacas use a communal pile but the others do not, so they have more worm problems from grazing. Never thought of that.
Hmmm. Wife was asking about routinely cleaning up the alpacas' outside latrine. I figure since it can be used as fertilizer directly with no need to compost, why put in the work to move it from "here" to "there" until we need it "somewhere else" since it is already in one place and not a particularly inconvenient one.
Am I risking parasite problems in the boys by doing that?? IF it ever stops raining, should I be moving it, maybe toss it in the veg garden? I would have to clean that out first. Kinda low priority at the moment given all the other things I need to do so I've been ignoring it.
