rich in colour. Their thrifty lambs grow fast to a marketable size --
often reaching 100 lb.by October -- on grass, weeds and brush.
Their fiber is a handspinners dream -- taking natural dyes with lustre and intensity yet soft, wearable and easily felted.

 Amaretto
is a 2
year old female
llama (born July 2007). She's been raised with both sheep and
goats.
She is showing excellent guarding and mothering instincts.
Amaretto is halter trained. She has a dense, three colour,
spotted coat with silky texture and lots of length for annual
shearing. She
gave birth to her first cria, Latte, in June 2009. Bred for a July 2010
birthing -- $450
.
Llamas are modified ruminants. They eat the same diet as
sheep and goats. They prefer browse to grass and will clean up
weeds in your pasture, while your sheep feed on grasses and forbes.
They require a bale of hay each, per week in the winter months,
when they cannot graze, plus about 1 lb. of grain per day during
lactation and pregnancy. A lactating female that is also pregnant
may need a bit more grain to maintain her condition. They also
require salt and minerals that can be fed as blocks in the pasture --
same as sheep and goats.
A llama produces a single cria each year. Llama babies are born
during daytime hours and rarely need assistance. Sheep and goats
that are guarded by llamas often time their own births to coincide with
the llama cycle, for daytime birthing. This ends the need for
middle of the night barn checks during lambing time, and means
increased sleep for the shepherd. Llamas will need a few
days to bond with their cria before rejoining their flock, but the
guarding instinct is enhanced when there is a cria with the herd. |
Guardian Llamas for sale
Commercial purepreds trained for guarding goats and sheep.
Llamas work as a team to protect their flock from predators. One
llama will face the predator and fight, while the other llama(s)
gather(s) the herd together, by dancing around them, back and forth,
until they have joined the herd into a tight unit that is easier to
defend.
Once the herd is together, all llamas face the predator to defend the
flock. Llamas will defend a flock of sheep or goats from bears,
coyotes, stray dogs, cougars or wolves. They have a strong
dislike for dogs, and their relatives and must be introduced to your
family pets before they will trust them near their flock.
