"Well, my experience so far has mostly been training young llamas to ground drive, and its been pretty successful. I've trained llamas as young as 6 months old to ground drive. They learn really quick! I won't even think…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have been raising and breeding llamas since November 1999. I maintain a small herd of beautiful llamas for show, breeding, and fiber production. I breed large, colorful, healthy llamas with straight conformation, fine fiber, and sweet personalities. I offer show, pet, and breeding quality llamas for sale at all times, as well as outside breedings to an ALSA Halter Champion silky paint male. I take pride in the personalities and training of the llamas that I offer for sale. I also have fiber products from our llamas, alpacas, and angora rabbits for sale, including raw fiber, roving, yarn, and finished products. I am active in the show community, and enjoy showing others how wonderful llamas are! Visitors are always welcome to see the farm and meet the animals.

I ground broke my female at two, but it isn't a good idea. It is like teaching a very young child to play baseball. Pysically they can do it, but…"
Emaly Leak replied to Emaly Leak's discussion cart training tips"Well, being in grad school 4 hours from the farm makes it hard to work with the llamas unfortunately. Hence I haven't made any progress since the workshop in April. But I have decided that I'm going to dust off the cart at the…"

"You may have already found a place since you posted this. I use Premier 4000's with a 4 point cutter and 13 tooth comb. I have Premier sharpen all of those blades. I also have a Double K shearer which uses Andis Clipper blades. I send those to…"

Timothy W. Kohloff replied to Emaly Leak's discussion cart training tips"I trained my Llama by myself. I paid $25 for him and the farmer that I got him from laughed at me when I told him that I was gonna train him to pull a cart.

Krista Lindsey said… - Hello! Your name looked familiar so I checked my e-mails and sure enough, you've sent me an e-mail introducing yourself and I failed to reply. I apologize for that, as I'm usually really good about responding. I was poking around on LLama Seeker trying to find out all I can to prepare for my new adventure! I'm looking for any information, farms and shows. I haven't really decided what direction I'm going with Llama ownership but I do enjoy these creatures and can't wait for this experience to begin! I'm getting a little nervous and worrying about many things that seem to be a non-issue for experienced owners (e.g. poisonous plants, weeds, trees, handling, feeding, etc.)!

Lisa Croslow said… - I would like to ask you a question, as I have been asking just about everyone that I talk with....how far out have you found on the registry do most folks like to go before seeing any duplication of ancestors? We have parents as #1, grand-parents #2, great-grand parents#3, great-great grandparents as #4, etc. I am just about certain folks do not go all the way on those that get into the 6,7,8, and 9 listings. I just want to know so I don't find myself with a "taboo" animal that is considered "line-bred".

- Hi Emaly, I actually just finished registering with the registry yesterday and spent my first visit on there printing off all of my girls ancestors - wow, some go back a long, long way. I will hop on there again and pull his to see if he might just be compatible with a few! Will let you know what I find!

- Hi Emily,
I was just touching base with our llama "neighbors" - as I always like to know who all is around my area - and yes, I have your herdsire eartagged, and was going to be contacting you pretty quickly, as I do believe I am going to bring a girl up for a drive-by to him. Talk soon!

- Hi Emaly,
When does show season start for llamas? Our first show here is the Michigan breeders show in May... that is for alpacas btw. I am beginning weaning of my 2 young girls so they will be ready for the show. Right now ist sad in the barn... the babies are crying :(
I hate weaning time... and I know it doesnt last , but it's still sad for now.... am also starting halter training with them this week. It should be fun to see how they do.... When the weather gets nicer, I will st up the obstacle course for them to work in and around.
have a good one :)
