Llamas
 

Llamas are bred and raised for packing, wool production, cart pulling, companion animals, exhibition in shows, parades and fairs, animal facilitated therapy, and guardians of other livestock such as sheep.  The llama is becoming increasingly popular as a project animal for 4-H, Scouts, FFA and other youth activities.  For the outdoor enthusiast and athlete, there are numerous activities and competitive events that team up the llama and his owner.  Llamas are great family fun!

Why Llamas?

Llamas are clean and intelligent.  They make outstanding pets and companions.  There are fewer than 110,000 in North America.  Llamas are classified as livestock (in some areas.)  Llamas are quiet, peaceful animals and make a soft humming sound to communicate.

The Crias! (Babies)

Llamas come in a variety of colors; white black, gray, red and any combination of these base colors.  Llamas are easy to raise, can be handled by anyone and are safe around children and seniors.  Llamas are extremely hardy and adaptable to most climates, altitudes and conditions.  Llamas get along well with goats, sheep, donkeys, horses, cats and the family dog.  Llama adults weigh 250 to 450 pounds.  They live 20 to 25 years.  Llamas require little space.  1/4 of an acre is fine for two llamas and 5 foot high field fencing is adequate.

The Crias!

Llamas only eat 4 to 6 pounds of hay per day and require no special diet.  Llamas are usually first bred at 18 to 24 months of age.  Their gestation period averages 11½ months.  Llamas are easily transported in a pick-up, van or trailer.  They usually lie down in transit.  Llamas don’t bark, bite, dig or have fleas.

The Crias!

Llamas can be trained to pull carts and carry packs.  They produce fine fiber for spinning.  Llama shows and competitions can promote a single llama or an entire herd.  Llamas may qualify for certain tax advantages and are excellent for an income producing retirement program.
