No, I didn't breed any of the adults you're looking at - well, I did breed Miracle. But the babies are all from my program - mostly using Kadabra and Locktight - but I'm getting ready to throw Mashuga in the mix. He's been around a long time and mak…
Hopefully I get a suri out of the breeding, I really love the suris!
Ok, cool! Come to think of it, my male does seem to have a glossy coat in pictures with flash etc too. I got him from Sonador Farm. Not from my own breeding.
Probably the ones you were admiring most were the Pleasure Valley Llamas - they always look fantastic. I don't believe they use grooming products on their animals. And Kadabra is just naturally that way.
Do you do something to your suri's coats before you show them? They all look really glossy in the pictures I see at the shows.
I have found that I'm doing much better breeding non-suri to suri rather than breeding suri to suri. Other folks may have had a different experience - but I think I'm probably going to stick with that formula.
Now that is a beautiful llama! I would kill to have that in my barn ;-) I can't even afford to have a suri female :-( I do have a light wool female, and I am breeding her to a gorgeous suri this spring, so hopefully I get something out of them!
Thanks. She really is nice. I have since sold her to Sharon Van Hooser at Triple V Ranch. I really like the Loch Ness offspring from Pleasure Valley Llamas. I still have a stud (Locktight) and 2 girls that are from that breeding program.
Gorgeous! What a stunning girl!
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I've had llamas since 1994 - started with a herd of males and geldings used for picnic hikes in Texas state parks. I began breeding in 2001 and have gravitated to suri llamas. I purchased a large part of Danny Keller's llama herd last year and now have about 100 llamas - about 40 of those are retired packers and older ladies.
I am an operating room nurse and have been a Director of Surgery for many years. I am currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Suri Llama Association.
Besides my llamas, I live with a horse, 4 big old cows, 2 miniature Zebu that I accidentally bought when I was stalled next to them at the Fair, an ancient sheep, and a motley crew of dogs and cats.

- I just got on Llama Journal today and posted a few photos. I'll post more today. U Rock is doing great. I just wish he would hurry up and mature so he could settle my HF Terry daughters. We'll be going to the FL show 2/6/2010 and the Perry, GA Hillbilly Show in 2/2010. I'm taking my 4 boys and 1 girl to the FL show, so we'll see how they do.
