Llamas are naturaly weary of canines and will chase them out of HIS field. Llamas also make good companion animals. Because of their gentleness it is easy to take them into hospitals, rest homes and, schools. There are also llama shows, trail events, civic events, parades and much more. But most people with llamas just love them.
Llamas are very hardy animals and are relativly disease free.
They eat very little hay and will browse on almost anyting. Poison oak is a favorite, and so are many other leaves, they will even eat lichen. Many llama ranches will board llamas for a very reasonable fee. There are many spinners around that would love to have that wool. There is not much of a market yet, but it is growing.
