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 http://www.hlsr.com/ag/ls/hls_opnshow_lamalp.aspx |
Llamas are awesome. I worked for a lady several years ago that raised llamas and alpacas. I got to help her shear them, trim their hooves, and deliver some cute little llama babies, and I never managed to make one mad enough to spit at me.
She used to complain about prices, too. She got into them when they were worth a ton of money, and at the time I worked for her she could hardly give them away. They made great pets, though.
