I Want a Llama!
The Llama Llamas are sure-footed and are environ-
mentally friendly. Their two-toed feet with
nails and leathery bottoms, similiar to a
dog’s pad, do less environmental damage
than a hiking boot. They also require very
little carried food on the trail in comparison
with other pack animals. This and their
tendency to browse rather than graze make
their impact on natural forage minimal.
Many people own llamas as com-
panion animals or pets because their
calm nature, gentleness and intelli-
gence make them a non-demand-
ing pleasure to be around and
train. Llamas are especially good
with children and there are
many active 4-H programs
for llamas throughout the US
and Canada.
Llamas are fun for the
entire family as a llama can
be trained to walk in parades, be
a daily jogging companion, visit
schools, entertain at birthday parties,
People are becoming familiar with llamas
throughout North America, but the most
common question asked of llama owners is,
“What are they used for?” If you become
familiar llama characteristics, the many uses jof
llamas become more easily understood. Llamas
are classed as domestic (not exotic) livestock
by the USDA and are owned and raised for
many purposes.
Llamas are very intelligent, independent,
aloof, curious, gentle, relatively easy to train
and they exhibit a lot of common sense. Once
you own a llama you will no longer question
their use, as you will have fallen in love with a
very special friend.
Traditionally, llamas make superior pack
animals for a picnic, a day trip or an extended
camping expedition. Llamas have also been
successfully trained to caddy on golf courses.
A mature, trained pack llama can carry ap-
proximately 1/4 to 1/3 of its body weight (50-
120 lb). It is not recommended that llamas be
ridden, although some people do put small
children on specially built llama saddles.

cart and much more.
There is a very active llama show associa-
tion (ALSA) and many owners enjoy the
competition of the show ring. Shows are held
locally and regionally. There are also a number
of non-competitive llama events, such as fairs,
exploration hikes and other diverse functions to
enjoy with your llama while sharing experi-
ences and friendship with fellow owners.
Llamas are popular to raise for their
beautiful, luxurious wool, which can be
regularly brushed out or sheared. Llama wool
does not contain lanolin, so many people who
are allergic to sheep wool can wear llama. It is
a hollow fiber and is warmer and lighter than
sheep’s wool. The wool is highly prized by
spinners, knitters, felters and weavers as a
superior fiber for sweaters, hats, stoles, vests
and other garments.
Llamas are raised by many people as
breeding stock, and the thrill of producing a
baby is universal. Babies (crias) play together
in the field and are a joy to watch cavorting.
Serious breeders study bloodlines in order to
produce better, more beautiful and genetically superior animals. This is
one important reason to insist on buying only registered llamas. The
market for llamas continues to expand as more people learn of the
pleasure, lifestyle and financial advantages of owning llamas.
Llamas make excellent guard animals for effective predator
management for flocks of sheep and goats and herds of cattle against
coyotes and feral dogs. A neutered adult is recommended, with a single
llama per herd, so that the llama identifies with the herd and protects it.
This is the one exception to the recommendation not to have a single
llama.
Llamas are being used more and more in animal-assisted therapy.
Llamas are routinely taken into senior citizen centers, nursing homes,
hospitals and mental health facilities to stimulate or soothe residents.
A llama’s sensitivity has been compared to that of dolphins and, as
llamas are used more in this capacity, their value increases as a means
to reach and enhance the lives of others, especially the disabled.
As you can see, there are many uses of llamas which are limited
only by our imaginations. A warning should be placed here for what is
known among llama owners as ‘llama fever’. Llama fever is highly
contagious, and there is no known cure ... except maybe owning more
llamas. The symptoms vary, but include talking about your llamas
endlessly, visiting other llama farms at every opportunity, being totally
smitten with your new friends and spending every possible moment
with them.
About 40 million years ago the ancestor of the llama roamedthe central plains of North America. This ancient camel-likecreature eventually migrated to Asia, Africa and SouthAmerica. All members of the camel, or camelid family, aredescendants of this early ancestor. The one-humped drom-edary camel evolved in Northern Africa and the Middle East,the two-humped Bactrian evolved in what is now Mongolia.The South American camelids - llama, alpaca, vicuña andguanaco - found their niche in the high plains of the Andes.
The wild relatives of the llama and alpaca are the vicuña andguanaco. Unlike the llamas and alpacas the vicuña and gua-naco always have the same color pattern . They have a red-dish brown body with light cream underbelly and grey face.Both are highly prized for their exquisite fiber. The vicuña iscurrently on the endangered species list but is making astrong comeback. In the past few years some guanacos havebeen raised in semi-captive flocks and sheared once a year forfiber.
Domesticated more than 5000 years ago, the llama and alpacaare among the earliest domesticated herd animals. For thenative people of the South American Andes, the llama was abeast of burden and a source of fiber and meat. Even thepelleted manure was used as fuel in the harsh environment ofthe altiplano where no trees grow. The alpaca was bredprimarily to produce fine fiber.
A Brief History of the Llama
Many ancient rituals and traditions developed fromthe close bond between the native people of SouthAmerica and their llamas. This close relationshiphas endured to the present time. A typical Andeanfamily might own only a handful of llamas or al-pacas but each animal is special to its owner. Avisitor to a small rebaño (herd) will find the llamasdecorated with brightly colored yarn sewn into theirears. The yarn tassels are used not only as decora-tion but also as a means of animal identification. Itis not uncommon to see llamas owned by severaldifferent families grazing together. Typically, thewife and younger children take responsibility for thellamas’ welfare and are present for herding andshearing.
Llamas by State and Province
As a prospective owner, you are
probably curious as to the growth of
the number of llamas and owners in
North America. The ILR registered
12,895 new llamas in 1999. In the
last 12 months, this is a 9.5%
increase in the total number of
registered llamas. Many new llama
owners have small farms consisting
of between 1 and 5 llamas. In fact,
70% of all llama owners fit into that
category. Another 23% of the ILR
membership owns between 6 and 25
llamas.

Communication: A llama commonly makes three noises: a
hum (called praying in Peru), a shrill alarm whinny (a
warning of predators), and orgling (a loud gargle which
males make when breeding). A llama also communicates
with body language - the position of its tail, ears, neck
and body posture.
Adult Weight: 200-500 lbs.
Adult Height: 5 to 6+ feet at
the head
Life Span: 15 years in South
America, but up to 20 to
30 years in the U.S.,
because of better nutrition
and health care.
Physical Characteristics and Traits
Body Type and Color: Llamas come in many different shapes
and sizes. The color, length and texture of their wool may
vary greatly. Wool may be white, cream, light brown,
medium brown, reddish brown, dark brown, black, gray
brown and silver gray. Body patterning may be solid,
marked, spotted, shaded or pinto. Llamas are clean
animals and have very little body odor.
Spitting: Although llamas do not normally spit at
humans, they may do so if they feel threatened or if
they have been mishandled or abused. Like all
members of the camelid family, llamas spit to
maintain their pecking order in the herd, to protect
the best eating spot, to discipline a youngster, or to
reject unwanted advances from an amorous male.
The green material is simply regurgitated cud and,
while it does have an odor, it does no harm.
Care & Feeding: The harsh Andean environment made thellama a hardy, quick, athletic animal capable of self
protection and remarkably disease resistant. They need
basic shelter from wind, rain, cold and heat. Llamas,
being very sophisticated, are communal dung heap
users, which means that they all use the same manure
pile, a habit that minimizes the human labor involved in
caring for them. Llamas are browsers and eat grasses.
Because of their efficient digestive systems, they are
relatively economical to feed. Feed costs average 50
cents a day. They can be fed as much good grass hay
and/or pasture as they want. Fresh water should be
available at all times.
Transportation: Llamas can be easily
transported in a van or a covered pickup,
as well as horse trailers. Llamas like to
lie down during travelling and, therefore,
should not be tied, as that could result in
injury.
Reproduction: Females do not have a heat
cycle but are induced ovulators (copula-
tion causing ovulation), meaning that
llamas can be bred and produce babies at
any time of the year. Females may be
bred at 12-24 months of age and males
become fertile between 2-3 years of age.
Average gestation is 350 days with a
single baby normally delivered from a
standing mother without assistance,
usually during the daylight hours.
Successful twinning is rare. A newborn
llama (cria) averages 20-35 pounds at
birth and is weaned at about 5 months of
age.
Herd Animal: Llamas are highly social
animals and need the companionship of
other llamas. Some have been kept
successfully with a companion goat,
horse or donkey, but llamas are happiest
with another of their own kind.
Price: Prices vary depending on the region of
the country, quality, pedigree, and
training. A wise buyer visits several
farms or ranches before buying.
Fiber: Llama fiber is hollow, so it is lighter
and warmer than sheep wool. Since it
does not contain lanolin, many people
who are allergic to sheep wool can wear
clothing made from llama wool.
Homework Before You Buy
Before you purchase your first llama, it is stronglyrecommended that you do your homework. Firstand foremost, you should love animals and bewilling to make a commitment to this addition toyour family.
• Contact your local llama association
• Visit many llama owners - Ask a lot of questions
• Subscribe to a llama magazine
• Attend a llama conference
• Talk with a local veterinarian familiar with llamas
• Evaluate and prepare your facilities
The International Lama Registry
The ILR is the largest accurate compilation of lama genealogical
information in the world. The Registry is a not-for-profit corpora-
tion with the purpose of maintaining an official genealogical
registry system and research services for owners of sub species of
the genus lama: llama (lama glama), guanaco (lama guanicoe),
vicuna (lama vicugna) and cross-bred. It can be compared to a
large library, a valuable storehouse of information, whose job is to
gather and maintain accurate genealogical records. The focus is
always on the expansion and accuracy of the records. Alpacas
(lama pacos) are registered
under their own registry, The
Alpaca Registry, Incorporated.
Why Register Your Llama?
All serious livestock breeders
choose registered stock for
their breeding programs. Most
regional and national shows,
sales and other events require
that participating llamas be
registered. Registered animals
have enhanced value, as their
pedigrees are recorded and
more informed breeding
choices can be made because
their lineage can be traced.
Why Transfer Your Llama's
Certificate? The ownership
of animals is closely moni-
tored to insure accurate
breeding records. The
Registry requires the signatures of the owner of the sire at the time
of conception, and the owner of the dam both at the time of
conception and at the birth of the cria. Not transferring an animal
may result in confusion or difficulty in registering a cria.
What Services Does The Registry Provide? The most impor-
tant service the Registry provides is the prompt and accurate
documentation of lineage. In addition, the Registry is a research
center for members wishing extended pedigree information on
multiple generations, statistical data, herd lists, progeny lists,
country of origin, age and color - invaluable tools in a breeding
program. Statistical data provided by the ILR enables the entire
llama community to monitor industry growth patterns.

Who Are The Registry Members? Anyone with a live, regis-
tered llama is eligible to become a member. If you have con-
ducted business with the Registry in the current or previous
calendar year, you are automatically a member. If you own a
registered llama, but have not conducted business in the current or
previous calendar year, a written notice of your wish to remain a
member mailed to the ILR will continue your membership. Each
member receives Registry mailings, which include ballots,
surveys, and the ILReport (the ILR newsletter), as well as other
timely announcements. A
membership directory is also
available to current members.
How Large Is The Registry
Database? At the end of 1999,
the Registry has records on over
140,000 llamas with over
20,000 owners in many
countries world wide. Over
10,000 owners have conducted
transactions with the ILR in the
current or previous calendar
year.
How Was The Registry
Created? The Registry was
established in 1985 legally
independent from all llama
organizations.
Who Governs The Registry?
The ILR is governed by a
democratically elected five-member Board of Directors who each
serve a five-year term, with one director being elected each year.
Members help determine the Registry policies through their
elected representatives.
