re: "and stopped by a small herd of alpacas..."
Interesting. When we told our attorney to get the Selectmen's permission to let us farm, he became interested in what we intended to raise. On several occasions, he asked us for the types of animals.
Keep in mind that the whole "farm" idea is undeveloped. I want to grow what I can and raise what I can. I don't know what I WON'T be doing. If the farm is successful, I'll feed my family and make enough money that I won't go bankrupt until sometime after death.
I hadn't given my farm any further thought than that, and here's my attorney asking for specifics. So I asked him what he was concerned about.
It turns out he'd had a customer who was was in a fight (a losing fight, it seems) with neighbors over his alpaca farm. I don't know why alpacas should be any worse than cows or sheep... maybe they're meaner, smellier or noisier than other animals? In any case, he really wanted know what we might be raising so there wouldn't be a recurrence of the problem his other client had had with the alpacas.
Beautiful pictures, btw...
