As the llama population is increasing rapidly in our state we have already seen a need to rescue some precious llamas. These llamas were once a bouncing loved cria, awaiting a loving home. Llamas are showing up everywhere for sale. Some with health problems and many with genetic problems resulting from inbreeding and poor herd management. We have seen llamas who live their life in small pens or stalls, some even tied to stakes circling around a little muddy circle.
Llamas are intelligent social animals needing a companion, exercise, and a source of being.
Our heart breaks to even think that one of the precious cria's from our farm would end up being neglected or being passed from sale to sale. We are new to this llama group, but we are not new to the sufferings of animals. Can we stop and ask ourselves why do we breed. We know breeders in Ohio who have already made a decision to limit breeding and to encourage new owners to purchase geldings and males and we applaud their efforts. God gave us dominion over the animals, to care for and to watch over them.
