Why Llamas

I fell in love with llamas on a trip to Eucudor in March of 1990. Their big eyes and very expressive faces captured my heart. However, we lived in CA for the next 11 years and had no room for llamas. My dream to one day have llamas remained a dream until we moved to TN.

We acquired our first 2 from Carolyn & Jerry Ayers, of Walnut Ridge Llamas, Chuckey, just a few minutes drive across our valley. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your point of view, as a friend says, they're worse than potato chips - you can't just have a few. So, in the next few months, we had acquired a total of 10. (6 females and 4 males).

Our first three from Walnut Ridge, the second 3 from Deloris & Jack Gardner of High Acres Llamas, Fredericksburg, TX, the next 3 from the Futurity Sale in Lexington, KY in Sept. of 2002 and our 10th. from Eve Ashbaugh of Evelin Farms in Ohio. My husband then took control and said we needed to shore up our infrastructure, etc., fencing and etc. & the brakes to the buying spree were applied. A wise man.

Our current plan is to acquire several good foundation females and get our breeding program underway. Our goal is to breed for disposition, conformation, and medium to heavy fiber, in medium sized animals.
