Unexpected animals to the south (3/5)

When I looked south, the opposite direction from the other two pictures, I saw the animals the arrows point to. At first, I couldn’t figure out what they were. They definitely weren’t deer. Like in most of Montana, a lot of cattle are grazed here, but these animals weren’t as bulky as cattle. They are larger than deer but not as big as a steer. They looked rather like weird sheep, though they weren’t built as close to the ground as sheep are. They stood at least as high as a deer.

They were also various colors; black, brown, and white. One of them was even white in front and back, with a brown patch in the middle.

Finally, one of them looked up as it moved to another place to graze and I saw the very long neck. Finally, I knew what I was looking at; llamas! These are domestic stock and I’m not sure if they are being raised for the wool, meat, or milk, but I suspect that it is a combination of all three.
