Llamas are like Lays chips you can't just get one. We fell in love with them and well its all down hill from there.
We show and llamas are also pack and do obstacles. Come to the Houston Rodeo and you will see all they do.
I am the poster child for the llamas on the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo

VERY COOL !! My company used to host the Houston L & R Show parties - we had an aircraft hanger and they'd have their yearly 'dance' & Dinner in it - - I met lots of the people behind the scenes of the big Rodeo - they are fun people that's for sure....I'll have to watch an obstacle show one day - sounds interesting - I didn't know people actually could train them

that's a shame about the prices for you - I had no idea they went for that kind of money wow
