Is this the rancher version of "why can't we all just get along?"

YES!

Weird though it sounds, this is true.

Llamas make GREAT guards!

We live in a place with a LOT of sheep farmers and coyotes are a big problem. Put a couple llamas out with the sheep and the coyotes eventually give up.

Besides, llamas are cheap to keep, look pretty and make WONDERFUL 4-H or county fair projects for the kids!

Llama bump!

I have a pet Rhino. He keeps the coyotes out of my herd of rabbits.

DO you have liberal friends? Conservatives don't need clues and don't spend any more money on liberals.

You can pick your friends but not your family.
I have a lesbian/ex-Cleveland teacher/flaming liberal sister.
I planned to buy a gross.

I'll send you two cases free of charge. You poor dear how you must suffer. A blood relative! I have a similar sister-in-law from Canada. But I just avoid her. Her presence is like pee on a hot rock!

She is my oldest, (stupid), brother's wife they live in Oklahoma. If she comes to a family function any room she walks into clears. Even my stupid brother can't stand her. She would be dangerous on a cruise ship, all the other passengers would rush to the opposite side of the ship causing it to capsize.

If she speaks to me, I point north and tell her, "Go home to Canada where everything is so good!!!"

" His family sells predator-friendly beef at premium prices..."

Yer sh!ttin' me?
Who gives a flip if beef is "predator friendly"?

The only good coyote is hanging on a fence.

Don't laugh at me. I'm serious and it hurts my feelings. Did you know that I am nominated as most hated freeper at DU.

That is an honor.
