Llamas
Since I was a little girl, I always wanted a llama. I bought my first three llamas from Harold & Wilma Fisher in Harriston, Ontario in 1996 - Fisherlea Princess, Fisherlea Chrysler and Fisherlea Chelsea. Chrysler and Princess have passed on, but Chelsea is still here. I am down to nine females and one male. Most of my girls are over 5 years old, with the exception of one little female
We had the great escape about 4 years ago when a moose broke all my fences during the night. I did not know who bred whom. My girls had the nicest babies that year, all females. I did not have a clue who their fathers were. I had nine DNA tested males and 18 baby girls. Prices were down, so I sold or gave them all away. We never had another girl until last summer .I have one female from the great escape left Alpaca Girl. She looked like an alpaca until this summer and she suddenly grew. She is my biggest llama now.
Owning a llama is like owning a cat. They own you not you own them. They are very curious and will inspect everything you do, they will follow you around, but heaven forbid if you try to pet them. They are gone, unless they want to be touched. My girls and I will grow old together. They tolerate me and will seek me out when in labor, otherwise they are very aloof.
I will not go on about llama care, but I will provide links to good web pages on care of llamas.
