[Ag-eq] Blind Gardener Discussion List

[Nella Foster]

Valerie:

Can you tell me the difference between alpacas and llamas?

I visited a llama farm once and had so much fun with them.  They are so very 
soft.  One of them even had curly hair, which made him exceptionally cute.

I don't think I have the patience for spinning and weaving.
