Spreader for Llama manure?

I have two Llamas and woudl like to spread their manure around the grazing pasture to promote better grass growth (it is already very green around the manure piles).

Llama poop is small pellets, roughly 1/2" diameter, and fairly firm. Is this likely to work in a hopper type fertilizer spreader, or will it just clog up? I have seen 3 point spreaders like this that look very nice, and it looks as though it would work, but I figure somebody out there may have a knowledgeable opinion on spreading Llama poop.

I may be able to find an old style tow-behind, ground-driven manure spreader that could use restoration, but the hopper types look so much simpler. I have seen them as low as $150.

I have a llama too, so I know what you're dealing with. If the llama manure is dry, the hopper spreader would probably work fairly well. If it is fresh, it would jam up for sure, and I sure wouldn't want to be the one to have to unjam it.

I compost mine with the bedding and waste from my other critters, and spread it with an old JD ground drive spreader.

Another way to get maximum benefit from llama manure is to make "tea" out of it. Take a five gallon bucket about 1/4 full of pellets, and fill it with water. Let it steep for a few days and use the resulting tea to water plants with. It's dilute enough not to burn the plant, and is FANTASTIC plant food. You could use a bigger drum or barrel with a tap in the bottom to make it easier.
