First, let me tell you a little about my farrier. Earlier this summer I found out that my neighbor, Val is a farrier and an awesome one at that! She’s extremely patient and always talks to the horse she’s working on. For example, she doesn’t just pick up a horse’s foot.. she asks for it! …

Last weekend I spent a few days at the Cookville Exotic Animal Auction which is held about every season. I was hoping to acquire a bottle fed female Llama. However, no females were available & I had been warned about bottle fed males so my visit was not fruitful… so I thought. When I returned…

After we sadly lost Little D to an unfortunate accident (read prior post), we thought Stormy looked lost and lonely. Through Carol from Wolf Creek Farms we were able to acquire 2 beautiful gelded males from a friend of hers, Val Carmichael of Agape Lland Llamas The big one (and I mean BIG!), is called…

After perusing my posts, I realized that I didn’t post anything about our second Llama, Little “D”. We purchased this beautiful white gelded Llama from my friend Carol Wolf. Little D was raised with Stormy… they came from the same farm. We thought that Stormy needed a companion of his sort, and he did because…
