A third annual show, to be held in West Tennessee, is also being considered. Llamas offer an excellent opportunity for children to learn responsibility, leadership and sportsmanship while learning about their animals and having a great time. They are also being used in programs for delinquent youth and drug rehabilitation. Many people claim that llamas have a calming effect on them. Watching llamas play and graze in the pasture after a busy day can be as relaxing as watching fish in an aquarium, sitting on a beach and listening to the waves, or watching the sunset.
Llamas are extremely intelligent, gentle, well-mannered, and clean animals.
They are also very curious and alert, and do not like to be alone. As with people, each llama has its own very distinct personality. You can find information about llamas in various books and videos which you can buy or many of which are available on loan to TLC members . And many TLC farms welcome you to visit their llama farms to learn more about their llamas and answer any questions you may have. For more information or to set up an appointment for a visit, please contact a TLC farm near you.
