Here’s cheddar, a nice boy and getting decent size, he’s really strong and muscular, a really pretty show type llama and 45”
and this is Pedro, still young and little, he’s a little jumpy still but getting better every day just needs a little more handling and he’ll be solid. He’s 46.5” and...
Hey guys I’ve got 4 llamas I’m looking to send to another pasture. It would be great to keep them together, if possible. These guys all have great potential, someone with a little more free time than me could get some solid packers from them. They’re all in good health, with good solid pasterns...
I've been doing 8% beef suet. I tried 15% on a batch in the past hoping for a little more fatty juicy flavor but ended up just being too much fat and left your mouth with a fatty coating, pretty unappetizing. I also do 30% bacon mix which I make right into patties and freeze as its the only way...
I've had good experience with Peak but haven't tried the chili mac or sweet pork meals.
My experience with Off Grid has been iffy, some good, some not. The bison fajitas was was more spicy than I'd prefer on a backpack hunt, their curry dish was weird, edible but I wouldn't buy it again. Quail...
They sure seem like they learn quick. Well done, thats got to feel really good having some packers that are good to go. How'd the one get loose? I had one get loose in the yard once while he was staked out, the stake out lead just came unsnapped from his halter, I know the fix but I think it was...
You're probably too late for most of them at this point, but there are some that you just need to check in the night before the hunt. I wouldn't say type 2 is necessarily better, but its nice to reserve it and have it mostly all to yourself. Doesn't seem like theres as many type 1's but between...
My dad hunted opening weekend 2 years ago and said it wasn't bad at all, he was told opening weekend of deer was worse because people combo the deer and antelope, but we hunted opening weekend of deer last year and I was amazed at the lack of hunting pressure. I'm going for opening weekend this...
Why are we obsessing over eating llamas? :LOL: (I'm kidding)
I'd never eat a llama, I suppose in a real survival situation though... I've heard they aren't bad
One of my favorite things I've bought recently has been some new lead ropes https://rockymtllamas.com/collections/trail-gear/products/string-along-lead
they're great multi purpose lead ropes, for stringing together or tying up in the yard/field
I'm still in the market for another pack saddle...
The low line works perfect, I've been staking them out with a couple difference length lines but I really like this, no problems at all. I need to tie it as a high line and let them try that next
I've found them to be quite a bit more odd than dog or horse people.
I had a great weekend with my boys, they're not learning super fast but its slow and steady.
I'm about as green as they come with Llamas, but I do like to bullshit about them. Sometimes topics get brought up, like for instance I've heard rumors blue eyed llamas can be deaf, I suppose if I asked about eye color and we went back and forth on it a couple of times I'd be obsessing over it...
I agree with explorer completely. I got 4 within the last year, same thing they aren't bred for packing but they were young and trainable, I plan to add more to the herd and use some Ccara llamas bred for packing as they come available (I have 2 boys with my name on them for next year). The...
Got it, he looks small in the pictures but 44 isn't bad. I have one thats 18 months, last I measured him he was 43", I'm thinking hes gonna be a tall one. His younger buddy (he's about a year) is already taller than the other 2 that are 2 year olds so I'm thinking he's gonna be a good tall one too.
