Re: [nafex] predators of voles



Derry, i have fond memories of the stunning beauty of llamas high in the 
Bolivian Andes( At one time i made llama herders flutes "kenas".)  With over 
100 potatoes there to choose from of such variety that they make an entire 
meal along with charque (dried llama meat....). Arid climate, they know 
which potatoe to put above a rock and which to put below....
