The other 75 males range from weanling age to four years old and are in various stages of training and evaluation. We sell from all strata of the entire population and typically have animals of all specifications available for sale.
F rom our perspective, wilderness packing is the highest function for llamas.
There is a great deal of variability in the packing ability of llamas and we sort our categories based on each animal's record and potential as a trail animal. Capacity, disposition, size, heart, appearance, and color all affect an animal's performance and value as a pack animal. Obviously, the llamas that score highest in the most categories are going to be the most versatile and thus more valuable. That is why the evaluation aspect of our program is so important. It establishes a fair market value and saves time, effort, and money for the customer because he is getting the right llama for his application with the first purchase.
