In 2014 I realized that my boys were starting to approach retirement age. I decided I needed to do something. Get some pack goat kids/prospects to raise, or? I’ve long been interested in and curious about llamas as pack animals. I started research llamas and learning as much as I could.
In the spring of 2015 I decided to get two pack llamas, and started the search for them. I found two llamas that I liked that summer, one was younger, a little over 1 ½ years old, the other older and more experienced.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve had several good pack trips with the llamas. For example, here are some pictures from a family trip this July with the llamas and my two remaining (senior) pack goats. This was along the Pacific Crest trail, north of Harts pass WA.
The learning curve with the llamas was a lot steeper than I’d anticipated. I think, in part because my memory is not as good as it used to be. Anyway, this summer I realized that I really do prefer packing with goats. So, I started to look for some pack goat kids/prospects.
