Mimi that was my husband's one plus for them- not needing to mow! But I wouldn't want a roly poly donkey. We do have coyotes in Texas, my husbands stepfather (and born and bred hill country ranch boy) told me about the llamas scaring off coyotes. I have to say he was suspect but he said that was "the theory".

I keep trying to say our home owner's association rules only speaks to cattle, horses and goats so we should get an alpaca.
