Here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, we've been raising llamas since 1987 where most of our herd of about forty to fifty llamas have been born. Our babies range from light to heavy wool and from extra large to petite (bordering on Mini.)
We selectively breed for strong Appaloosa bloodlines.  Below is Argentine Altanero's newest baby girl and one of our favorite appy silky from Power Spike.

Our breeding program produces llamas with pretty faces, striking colors, silky fiber and the best conformation possible, but the most important thing to us is temperament.  All of our herd sires are sweet natured and almost all of our dams were born on our farm so they trust us.

We do everything we can to raise llamas who are a pleasure to be around. As soon as our babies hit the ground they are desensitized and taught to trust us.  They are halter and lead trained as soon as possible and many are also trained with the Clicker on an obstacle course and to carry a pack.
