We don't have cable so I "net-flix" some of our favorite shows. "Dirty Jobs" is one of them.
Tonight we watched Mike Rowe at an alpaca farm. He helped shave alpacas whose hair, by the way, can sell for $5.00/oz totaling about $700/alpaca.
To top off the episode, the alpaca farmer showed how they increase their alpaca population. Let's just say, they don't buy more. I saw, for the first time in my life, alpacas mating. So did my 15 year old, my 13 year old, my 11 year old, my 7 year old, my 2 year and ("honey, is that the first time you've seen alpacas mate?" "Oh yea.") my husband.
The only comment given during the entire graphic, scarring event was from Levi, age 7.
"Are they married?"
Why have I never seen alpacas mate?
ReplyDeleteAs Mike would say, "Somebody has to do it."
