Update: 🏠 found!
Gigi embodies the perfect combination of sweetness and ease of handling, even in the pasture. If you're interested in her feel free to PM me for more information!
That can NOT be comfortable Hannah 😅
Will bribing Eevee convince her to release the hostage? It's not looking promising
Biggie is officially a gelding! He was pretty content to nap and snack afterwards😂
Nina has hit 5 months old and is getting herself ready for her show career! She's off on an adventure and will be back next Sunday
The younger girls were feeling really good tonight! There was too much happening and I was making sure I wasn't gonna get accidentally ran into so my camera work wasn't great😅
The rain we received the past month has saved our pastures and the llamas are loving it!
Pictures and videos just don't do Simba justice! He has such a strong presence and a curious, spunky personality that meld perfectly!
(Don't mind the grumpy weanling in the background. She's spoiled and isn't used to other llamas invading her alfalfa time😂)
This is why we work so hard with our crias as soon after birth as possible. You never know when you will need to handle them in ways you may not usually.
Recently that was the case with Morpheus, one of our nonbreeders, after he developed an abscess. It only takes one person to catch and treat him every day and no chute is needed. Of course scrubbing it can be a little painful and the animals in the other stall can be distracting, but this is much less stress for him and us this way. Morph was born here and from the start Brianna worked with him daily on desensitization. This is the result 15 years down the line.
Miss Eevee here is one of our llamas that absolutely has to have different kinds of enrichment scattered around the pens or else she gets into trouble. So, we put some new ones up today and she's hooked on this little hay ball! It's a just a dog treat feeder filled with alfalfa that we tied up and it definitely keeps them busy!
Simba thinks he's ready for his first show at just a week and a half old!
A quick shot of Badger before he was full body sheared. We miss him being so fluffy but he's definitely feeling good, especially in the heat that we've been having!

Dawn sure love the water! She does this every time the hose is turned on
Eevee's antics for today. She LOVES Gatorade and enjoyed a small treat of it today. Of course, I didn't have my phone with me when she picked up the sprinkler hose and dragged it around the pasture
It's been interesting to see the differences between our two moms right now. New mom, Hannah, doesn't want Tails more than ten feet away from her at all times while experienced mom Tommi doesn't have a care in the world as long as she's with the herd. Tommi was up at the barn eating alfalfa while Hannah chased the crias all around😂
Can't help but love this big handsome boy!
Eevee is a phone stealing menace sometimes
Excuse me, this isn't food!
Eevee does not appreciate the fact that the scoop had no food for her😂
