Welcoming Home A New Llama

[@GallonMilkProductions]

"and when women get stressed they buy things so I got a llama" honestly we've all been there

[@RomeeRaven]

Have we, though? 😂

[@robyndurdin6965]

🤣🤣🤣😍

[@nancyekstrom8409]

Absolutely true.

[@diane9247]

Hahaha!🤣

[@maydavies888]

Right? I was volunteering at the Humane Society, and after a month, I thought to myself, "I've gone 30 days without adopting anyone! I think I will reward myself with a cat!" But not for me- I got a bestie for my male tuxedo cat who was always try8ng to snuggle with my tiny female tuxedo, but she had a much larger space bubble, and he needed a kitty wife.

[@censusgary]

My wife also sometimes brings home animals when she feels stressed. We have 7 cats now. It’s been a tough year.

[@SoraShadowdancer]

Oh lordy you poor thing

[@diane9247]

Lol! Well, at least they're cats, not large farm animals!

[@ThesmartestTem]

I wasn't even stressed when I came home with 5 kittens one day. Just a sap for a litter of abandoned kittens on the side of the road. 1 year later and they're all our happy house cats. 😅

[@donnakahriger25]

​@professor Tem Bless u for helping them.

[@donnakahriger25]

Bless you and your wife, Gary

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

Aww, the shearing Queens got themselves a Prince Charming! Wifey knows she got you cornered with that purchase and she's sitting pretty while milking it like a master! But she's also being a great partner and helping out when the soul mate makes a big decision for the both of you! You two are an inspiration and a pleasure to follow along with your lives, thank you both for sharing!

[@joyofcookies]

I think you mean “thank you both for sheering!” 🤣🤪

[@thomasmleahy6218]

​@@joyofcookies Shearing?

[@thirstyboots6711]

This couple amazes me with their work ethic. Didn't realize that they have animals of their own with your crazy busy schedule! Bravo.

[@susanstone6889]

He's in heaven now. Oh my goodness it's Turk! He's such a beauty. So glad you have him.❤

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Very well done! You hit on all the correct points, many people don’t think thru what a new pet requires, this can apply to any new life you bring into your life,!

[@vickivanlife3672]

I would call his newly built home "Turks' He-Shed.❣️ He is absolutely beautiful.

[@prairiepetresort1698]

I appreciate you both so very much. I’m learning all about llama and sheep care . While these precious animals receive the care they need with love and dignity !!

[@donnaboyle669]

He’s beautiful,especially after shearing him. Congratulations for your new family addition .

[@reggiek6730]

Good basics for stock care. You know Turk’s going to need a buddy, right? 😁

[@chrisjung9563]

I was thinking about the same thing. Part of proper care is to provide for an animal's social needs. Llamas are not solitary animals and to truly thrive, really do need companionship.

[@rightchoiceshearing]

I explain in the description that he’s a guardian for livestock. It’s by design for them to bond with their herd. Finding companions for llamas isn’t an easy task to begin with and the wrong llama combo is bad bad bad for the all involved. If another llama comes into our life that needs a home, I’m open to help them too. For now, it’s Turk and his calves. 🤘🏻

[@robertalynch5433]

I was thinking he needed a buddy too, but calves make wonderful companions.

[@thomasmleahy6218]

​@@rightchoiceshearing What calves are you talking about? Has he got a"job" protecting calves? Can we see them? This should make for interesting interplay. Loved the chat over coffee about the pen, kinda reminded me of the Lone Ranger/Tonto joke, 'What you mean We, kimo sabe?' Haha. And did you say you had a dog??

[@susancanavespe5217]

He’ll be happy with calves. Llamas mate by kneeling, so if you come out some morning and Turk has got some calf pinned to the ground, don’t be alarmed.

[@juliestrickland7754]

He's adorable!!!! Congratulations!!!!? Thank you for including all the information. Excellent video!!!

[@wonderbubbles4092]

I can't think of a better home for him. Seeing you both work with countless distressed/difficult animals shaped JUST like him gives me confidence in you two winning his heart in record time. Congratulations all three if you!❤

[@LustStarrr]

Can't wait to see more of Turk's progress. I like this form of content, BTW. 😊

[@brandireichert6941]

Noticed your Airstream , we are in our 70’s and still enjoy ours.

[@patriciatinkey2677]

I remember Turk from one of your shorts! He will settle in, just right now he thinks he got taken away from his harem! Thanks for your great,"What all is needed to responsibly own", tutorial. Many folks think they just put them to pasture. Lots more work than they realize. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jeaniefenner3386]

I can't believe how much you two have accomplished in your lives. You have quite the spread there! Turk is a beautiful alpaca! Can't wait to see the new videos on you shearing him, and how the wool is processed! Keep the videos coming! Love the content ❤❤

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Llama

[@lanaavrutova6817]

You got a Llama! 😊❤❤❤

[@pamelapilling6996]

Welcome home, Turk! Looking great now and eagerly anticipating future Turk videos.

[@majoyap3403]

Wow.. Amazing how fast you can do the hut. I'm sure Turk will warm up with you with all the love you're giving him.

[@rosegilliland1845]

Turks is a beautiful a fella. I love how he ignored yall at first. But i know he will be fine because of how well you treat animals. Have a great day ❤.

[@Liz_678]

Great job ladies👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻❤️. He looks so comfortable in his new digs!! He will love you both in no time.

[@queenbee3647]

Welcome to Turks Yurt! Its always ladies night. 😁 Good luck with your new toy boy. Hes pretty. 👍

[@SandyL0uise]

I came to advocate for a friend for Turk but I see you already have addressed that. I really enjoy your channel and I’m super impressed with your expertise. Happy shearing!

[@Amanita-Minute53]

You should get a sponsorship with Chewy.

[@emilystewart1684]

Thank you for mentioning antiparasitic resistance! I had never even heard about it but it, like antibiotic resistance, is so important to educate and spread awareness about.

[@jeaninemartin]

I so enjoy you two!!! So sweet together and always treat the animals tenderly ♥️

[@LightwingsTWENTY2]

Congratulations! He’s adorable and lucky to be part of your family!

[@philodice]

Turk is a beautiful llama.

[@tartsonawire]

Handsome boy :) Welcome, Turk!

[@kathe.o.]

Katie, so glad ya'll expanded the family. Hope Turk will be very happy with ya'll. You & the catch pen were out of order 😂. Darian has you well trained.

[@hobbyhopper3143]

You women are so sweet together. Some hammock, Darien! I knew you were going to build right beside Katy all along 🤗

[@jodysheridan604]

Katie, thank you for sound livestock husbandry, it's the essentials so often forgotten.

[@mariephenix7168]

Everybody need a rescue. Good for your, enjoy!

[@juliestrickland7754]

🥰🥰🥰🥰 she looks like a beauty queen on a float!

[@dragontear1967]

❤❤what a beauty❤❤!! Best of luck with your newest addition.😊🎉

[@susancanavespe5217]

Ya’ll are great. I love that you are sharing your knowledge about animal husbandry. Let’s hope it makes people think twice about adopting an animal.

[@Drewcatmorris]

Congratulations to becoming momas to a Llama. I love his mohawk and you nailed that butt floof!

[@dosdoggies]

Vlog style video, in the middle of shearing season? Yes please.

[@ardybb]

You two are my daily education fun. Welcome home Turk. So your Mum was stressing... So here you are! Perfect match.

[@jenniferk9242]

I'm sorry but there's something so funny and sweet about these strong women, all tatted up and drinking tea out of those dainty little teacups 😂😂😂 I'm not talking bad about the tattoos, I've got several myself, i found the juxtaposition rather humorous

[@deniseleach9117]

You guys are an adorable couple❤

[@miask]

I’ve been watching your channel since it was just starting out. I was happy to notice that y’all are coming on to 2M subs! Congratulations! I grew up in a horse, cattle and pig farming community and have little knowledge of Llamas, though there are several large fibre farms in my county since the late 80’s. I have learned so much from your content. My late mother enjoyed you and Darien too. She said you seemed to have such a great relationship (thank goodness my folks were cool with all kinds of people). Turk is a handsome honey and he’ll be eating out of your hands in no time! Best wishes!

[@MegandtheMutts]

Katie, you never fail to bring a smile to my face! "I got a llama!"

[@KathleenPriem-xl7lp]

They've got 400 acres, and a herd of cattle to occupy Turk. These short spaces, we've got to write, don't convey lots so, hope it wasn't as "spur of the moment" as it sounds.

[@rabbitgregory9289]

I hope Turk gets a companion so he’s not lonely.

[@mariefraher8725]

So stinkin' cute! Of course he is super smart and good for shearing! Turk doesn't know it yet, but he is about to be spoiled rotten!

[@sheriegraham5908]

You two are so cute. I love watching you.

[@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach]

Oh Geezum what a sweetheart. Good for you! I’m happy you have Turks and happy a day off. Thank you for filming. ❤❤

[@AveryJung-df7wm]

You and your wife are so cute together and you're so considerate of your animals ❤

[@ellanathaniel2176]

How did I not know you were down 35 from me. Supper cool as if you aren't already like ice !

[@aryazee2415]

I love you two so much! And the new llama! The look of indignation, after the fly spray, really made me laugh!

[@cathcoll7961]

Welcome Turk 💙 You are a stunning Stud Muffin 😀

[@DOLfirst]

Very informative video and well done.👏

[@westzed23]

Great addition to the family. He's gorgeous.❤ Since people are asking, he has company with the cattle. Loves baby calves. 💖🦙🐂🤟

[@masondixon2675]

Congrats on your new pet. I'm sure he is one lucky Llama.

[@crystalandpage3562]

Turk is adorable and you two did an amazing job! I look forward to Turks Tavern.

[@rightchoiceshearing]

Thank you!

[@DERAMNONA]

Love him almost as much as you two. Thank you for sharing.

[@strangeaelurus]

:0 I'd love to see you make more long form content in the future!

[@historyhunter5146]

He is beautiful and looks like he’s full of personality

[@goodkarna]

Aw, good mama for a llama🎉

[@amandamodin4912]

Throughly enjoyed this informative video. Well done!!

[@sheriegraham5908]

I had never seen shearing before, and just saw one of your shorts. You got me . At first I found it relaxing, just watching. Then I realized that I really like your narrative , information and your voice. You must be a great teacher, I know I've learned a lot.

[@michellefrank8116]

I love him! ❤❤❤

[@eugenieroyce3312]

Turk is beyond adorable!!❤ You are blessed. Turk is blessed.

[@rippy4freedom]

Great content Ladies !!!!

[@kerrybiamonti6092]

What great advice about the needs of the Animal, not all these things are thought about before getting one. Very helpful 👌

[@vickitweedle9809]

Loved Turk, love the video. Very well done with lots of really helpful information, thanks 😊

[@brandireichert6941]

Love To You Both. ♥️

[@smallfootprint2961]

Congrats on getting the new little buddy. He's a handsome guy, and now has a great, and knowledgeable family. Lucky llama.

[@keliplourde5601]

Awesome!! Good luck. he's very handsome

[@tracyzabelle]

Congrats on your new family member

[@sealife564]

Awe his ears.

[@ironwolf5802]

Apparently, I should have watched this video before the shearing. He's such a handsome boy.

[@SandrA-hr5zk]

LOL. You bringing home a llama sounds a lot like Darcy bringing home another plant.

[@marygarder9582]

Handsome fella...congratulations 😊

[@lualncol]

How fun and what an awesome thing! You two are admirable- hydrate!

[@marlaclarambeau327]

I enjoyed the info in this video, and, congrats on going shopping. What a deal you got. He's a lovely boy! Also, is this a new logo? I think it classy and amazing. Nicely done!

[@brigidconroy2111]

Great information

[@maryjooverocker4510]

He's so pretty and has the best home now!!!!

[@helenburke9507]

What a great pair of parents you 2 are. Thank You for your kindness to all the critters you help. Love the idea of your partnership n please stay safe n happy. I look forward to all of your news stories.

[@pixels.cc_5]

Right THIS WAS ACTUALLY HELPFUL TO SOMEONE WHO HASN'T A CLUE & animal's & building. Even thought I have 16 pets 4 rabbits 🐇 7 cats & rest hamsters 🐹 ALSO YOU'RE SOO CLOSE TO 2 M. KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT 👍 ❤

[@SoraShadowdancer]

I have ADHD. When I'm asked how long something will take me at work, I figure out how long I think it will realistically take me. . . And then triple it. That is what I tell my employers. Because the distractions are real. I'm so impressed that you two kept going and finished that shelter in a single day. I would've given up after the trip to home depot. 96 degrees in humid Texas? No thank you.

[@alliecollin1748]

You guys are AMAZING!!! Good on you!! 💪💪💕

[@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach]

Great build and yeppers it’s going to be hot. Yes your wife is truly purty and you are both a handsome couple. Thank you for sharing the build. It is perfect!!!!❤❤

[@Turboy65]

I have no doubt that you will provide excellent care and attention for your new pet. You're good people with big hearts and plenty of knowledge and skill and a real passion for the health and welfare of any animal.

[@janisedenton4242]

Congrats 👏 on the new baby! I can't thank you enough for the excellent guide on taking care of a new animal. It wS very well done 👏 🎉. Lucky Turk. ❤

[@moogiealways3016]

Outstanding work. I've watched y'all for years and it's wonderful to see how you've grown and progressed to get where you are now. Hard work pays off! Congratulations, and welcome home, Turk!

[@lauramaze5354]

Turk is adorable! I can't wait to see the journey.
