Llamas are trustworthy. Their intelligent, gentle nature allows even small children to interact with them. The fiber of llamas can be spun and woven into sweaters, blankets, hats andthe like. Llamas are used in animal facilitative therapy because of their calming effects. Families can get involved with llamas in 4-H, Scouts and other youth groups.
Llamas have discreet bathroom habits.
Their pelleted droppings, similar to a deer, are virtually odorless and are generally deposited in the communal dung pile. This neatness minimizes parasite contamination, reduces fly problems and makes cleanup easier for the owner. A llama's effective digestive system also helps to eliminate introduction of noxious weeds into the environment. Llamas are intelligent and easy to train . In just 1-5 repetitions they will pick up and retain many skills such as accepting a halter, being led, loading in and out of a vehicle, pulling a cart or carrying a pack.
