We had expectations of five cria this spring; however, three girls slipped their pregnancies. That’s the sad news. The GOOD news is that we now have two new cria residing on our farm. Uno-deMayo is our gray male with white face markings, compliments of the Very Little Llama Farm’s El Mirage and the 35.25” Amigo’s Chico of The Fuzzy Farm |

Now how proud can a mama get? Uno was three weeks ‘overdue’ from our 350 day gestation count. It may have taken awhile for Uno to make his entrance, but he was worth the wait. |

| Then, four weeks and two days ‘overdue’ (but who was counting??), our kissing Lucky Llama Reno delivered a beautiful cria whom we’ve named Reno’s Comet in order to give his sire, CCF Orian, a 36” half Argentine stud owned by John Babb, some well-earned credit. Comet is showing his one-quarter Argentine heritage with his compact, hefty frame and glorious fiber. Take a look at the pictures of Reno, Reno’s sister, Carerra Britches, and Comet. See any resemblances? | ||

We are delighted with these little boys and hope they will exhibit the small genes both dame and sire possess as we sure would like to have two boys raised together who can also be our future studs-on-property. The luxurious fiber of these boys makes them very desirable to our breeding program. ‘Nita Reynolds of Hillspinners is our exclusive fiber spinner. Her website, www.thehillart.com, is currently being updated, but please visit her website and feel free to give Nita a call if you’d like to know the various colorations of spun fiber she has available from |

Of special note, we are so very proud and grateful to Rich and Gayle Dumas of The Fuzzy Farm, for allowing us the privilege of purchasing Thumbellena, the daughter of Little Miss Muffet and Bolivian Makin’ Whoopee. Unfortunately, Thumbellena was one of the girls who slipped her pregnancy, so we will not have a cria from her this year as expected. We are hopeful she will be delivering a cria on our farm in the spring of 2010 as she is being bred to full Argentine true mini, Argentine Santiago who has been producing spectacular offspring. |

Living in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is proving to be the most wonderful experience and an ideal location in which to raise our elegant, inquisitive and personable miniature llamas. We hope you will enjoy our website. We are delighted when people call to set up a time to stop by our farm and personally meet these jewels of the camelid family. If it’s impossible for you to come here for an up-close-and-personal viewing, we trust the pictures and descriptions herein will enable you to get a good idea of the animals we have for breeding purposes and for sale. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have or to inquire about a specific animal in which you may have an interest, even if they might not be on our for sale page. We do our best to accommodate those who have an interest in our animals.
Since we limit the number of llamas on our farm to no more than 15 permanent residents, we can guarantee all our llamas are given a great deal of personal, hands-on attention, something large- sized farms may wish to accomplish but can’t always practice and provide. Cria are trained to the halter and lead at only a few weeks of age, with mama walking alongside for a calming effect. This helps to show the cria there is no reason to be frightened of us. Since we have already had our hands all over the cria at the time of its birth, or within a few hours time, once we begin to groom, clip toenails, worm, etc., the cria’s exposure to early-on human interaction makes it a much less traumatic experience. This is reinforced every time we work with them. The rapport that is established – and that is continued as they mature – benefits them, us and you, the potential purchaser. |
