Llama and Turkeys in Essex?

September 19, 2014 By Eve (Bernard) Ticknor 2 Comments

Do you know Essex has its own llama? I know it is owned by the Pribbles. I saw it a few years ago on School Street grazing around the old Essex High School owned by Bill Sharp. Not knowing about it, I was rather startled to come around a corner, nearly bumping into a llama!

One of St John’s parishioners told me this morning that she saw it in that area, having much the same reaction as I had.

In connection with this animal’s walkabouts, one Christmas my son, his fiancee and I were walking in the snow to introduce her to winter, and suddenly we were surrounded by black, white, and brown turkeys. One female would sit on my boot whenever she could. Sure, I was the largest tom she had ever seen, as I was dressed in black and red!

      So glad to find your comments and pictures. We took a Sunday drive this morning to show my Mother around the area, and there was this llama walking down the road towards us. Didn’t know if we should let someone know that their llama was loose or not, but the llama just calmly walked down the road and into a side yard as if it he knew where he was going. By the way, how can he eat the way his teeth are? Or is that normal for llamas?

        Ha! I agree that those teeth look like they’d make for challenging eating, but the llama always seems to be munching away on something. You might enjoy Eve Ticknor’s recent post, “Llama and Turkeys in Essex?“. Thanks for your comment! 🙂
