My wife is interestin in the dogs. Do know if can travel in a car? Do you know how much she wants for them. They would be around the llamas most of the time.

Llamas

Loving life with llamas in north central Indiana

We raise llamas on our Dawn of Promise Farm in Battle Ground, Indiana. We started showing llamas in 2009. We have been active in raising and training Connemara ponies, the native pony of western Ireland, for years and find that many of our experiences with ponies translate well. Thank you to everyone who so openly shared their farms and ideas with us as we set out to learn more about llamas. We hope to meet more llama enthusiasts and look forward to learning more about shearing and uses of the wonderful llama fiber.

We love to have visitors! Feel free to ask me any questions that you may have about llamas! They are really unique animals to raise, and their fiber is amazing!

At 12:53pm on August 18, 2008, Vickie Maris said…: I attended the Indiana State Fair on Saturday and shot a number of photos while watching the 4-H llama showmanship and obstacle classes as well as a few open classes. It was a wonderful day! If you'd like to see the photos from the day as well as images I've taken while visiting llama farms, you can find several of them at my flickr site in this collection: http://www.flickr.com/photos/purduepics/sets/72157606551114353/

At 10:32pm on August 17, 2008, Steven Ayers said…: Vickie, my family has been raising llamas for almost 10 years now. We used to raise pure bred nubian goats for many years. I feel that llamas was not only an upgrade in the type of livestock, but a change of lifestyle. There are so many things you can do with llamas and it is a great PR animal for schools. I have met several horse breeders that have merged into llamas due to the size of the animal and the fact that they no longer ride their horses.

At 12:25am on August 3, 2008, Vickie Maris said…: Steven - Thanks for the note. I'm looking forward to learning more about llamas here and hopefully adding a few to the farm some day. Vickie
