Nope. Alpacas are prey animals. They will chase the chickens when they are out behind the barn but that is about it.
Coffee anyone ?

Wow...last start to the day, perhaps everyone has cold temperatures today? It’s 3* here. I’ve decided to wait to go out for a bit, and I’m keeping the animals inside the barn..it’s going to be too cold. Otherwise, should be boring..got home late from the auction...took a real beating... I won’t be selling there again
. Life lesson. But we made it fun. Hope everyone stays warm and has a great day!!

@Duckfarmerpa1 I am guessing come March prices will go up again. Most people don't want more critters to feed in the cold.
I need to get moving... co op day and DH wants firewood brought in.... they are predicting over 6" of rain starting this afternoon/evening.

6" of rain? Yikes! During the summer, we could get that in one thunderstorm, but that's a heckuva lot for this time of year! 
I was just thinking that one good thing about these frosty mornings is that they help to dry the ground. The moisture turns to ice, which sticks up above the surface. When the sun comes up, it seems the ice evaporates or sublimates or whatever it does, drying things out a lot faster than when the temps stay above freezing.
And then of course, the temperatures come up a bit, and it rains again.
