If You're Tired of Cattle.....

Some of them like to bite too.

And kick. Llamas will kick as well. If given the choice, though, I'd rather be kicked by a llama/alpaca/camel(dromedary or bactrian) than a horse or a cow any day! having had the pleasure of being kicked by many type of creatures, I ahve found that I prefer a kick from a non-hooved animal. 8)

Llamas will strike and stomp with their front feet. Neighbor had one that killed a couple of calves till I caught it attacking one and addressed the issue permanently.

You could go into camel farming as with all the muslin population coming to the US there should be a demand. They can be cranky to deal with though.

Here is a longer version. Seems that the poor camel is being used by young Ali to practice his beheading skills, and he doesn't quite have it down yet. I'll be watching this over and over today. Guess they don't need a flying carpet to get airborne after all. allah akbar indeed.

I've worked with them, and if you have any animal sense at all, camels are one of the most intuitive animals you'll find. Way smarter, safer and more sane than most horses. It is very rare that a well treated camel will spit at a human. Much of the bad reputation comes from seeing them from other countries, or when they are handled by people who don't know what they are doing, and the fact that their protests sounds are pretty vocal and often misunderstood. If you were treated the way those people treat their animals you'd be ornery too. Camel bulls can be as dangerous as any bull. You don't often see people working one on one with cattle bulls without some barrier between them, but with camel bulls they try it all the time.

Faint praise!
