    • We had a long cold wet winter for North Texas. We are now warm, the llamas sheared for summer and the pastures have greened.

    Welcome to Spring at the Rama Llama Ranch

    Llamas, like cats, are very curious and nosy. My son Nic and I think that for this reason, llamas should be called a curious of llamas rather than a herd.

    The following photos are offerred in support of this proposal.

    Please also note that llamas are famous for their bravery in guarding herds left in their charge.  Two of the photos below will show how truly able they are at guarding a person holding a bucket of  feed.  Enjoy!

    We only breed for a few babies each year. Last spring (2008)  the stud was new and produced no babies.  This year March started off with a still born for a first time mom.  But in April and May we were blessed with two gorgeous girls.

    The spring babies are now 6 months old and huge compared to the fall arrival.  Crias grow remarkably fast:

    Twinkle arrived on 4-13-09, shearing day.

    The babies will nurse for at least 6 months. It is always my preference to allow them to wean naturally but, that is not always possible. Sometimes the nursing baby pulls the mother down.
         

    Dragoness was born 5-10-09 out of Abby Normal 

    Dragoness arrived on Mother’s day.

     Dragoness was only several hours old when this photo was taken.
