By MADELINE REIDA Staff writer If you drive west of Goessel, you might encounter a pasture with a flock of sheep overseen by a pair of llamas. While it might seem odd to encounter Peruvian camelids in the midwest, to Carol Duerksen and Maynard Knepp, they’re just another part of their farm. “We got our first llama shortly after we moved here, 33 years ago,” Carol said. “They’re here to help guard the sheep.” Although llamas usually are seen as cute animals, popular in toys, video games, and other media, they make fantastic guard animals. They are intelligent, oftentimes stubborn, and more than capable of handling animals that go after sheep. They will chase coyotes and wild dogs that come too close, rearing up to stomp them into submission.
