    I control breeding on the ranch to ensure babies are born in cooler months. In some areas of the country that is not necessary but,  in Texas, we can still be very hot in early October and get hot as early as April. 

    Not all breedings take and it takes a while for a dam to ’show’. 

    The gestation period for llamas is eleven and one-half months, 350 days.

    One cria due this fall has arrived safe and sound.  I still await the arrival of the other.

    Below are the photos of  Indian Summer, a male, born October 22, 2009  out of Hot Rod and Summer Breeze.

    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!
