Classic Llama Breeding Stock
Our 33rd year packing with llamas.
We provide support for
new llama owners.
After 33 years in the llama business, we have retired from breeding and selling pack llamas. This means we are rounding up a small group of llamas to keep for long pack trips in our retirement. Also staying with us are our retired packers and retired breeding females. They are part of our family and will stay with us until the end.
We no longer have any llamas for sale.
We have kept up our pages about our former llamas for historial bloodline information.

We slowed down. When he laid down to rest, we knew something was wrong.read more...
