Fresh water is essential and should always be accessible. Transportation Llamas gladly travel in any vehicle into which they can fit - cars, vans, carriers on pickups and trailers. They usually lie down once the vehicle begins to move. Tying is not necessary. Depending on their size and development females can breed between 18-24 months.
Breeding is done in a prone, lying position.
Gestation averages 11 months. Llamas generally produce single offspring. Normal birth weight is between 22-35 pounds. Young females may conceive as early as 4 months and young males may be potent as early as 9 months of age, provided their anterior penis adhesion disappears. A breeding program should be based on sound practice with discrimination for color, conformation, wool and disposition.
