Our Farm

We also have Pygmy Goats on our farm. Goat feces is good for the prevention of ringworm in our alpacas. For more information on our goats or for purchase information, please contact us.

Meet Poncho, our new llama. Llamas hava a natural dislike for canines (domestic and wild dogs, coyotes, foxes, etc.). For thousands of years members of the canine family preyed on young llamas in South America. Llamas have evolved to protect their young. When a llama is removed from their family group and properly introduced to and bonded with a new livestock species, the llama takes over as leader and protector of this new family group (sheep, goats, and other livestock) and sets the boundaries for his new family. Very intelligent, the llama can tell the difference from threatening and non-threatening animals - unlike the traditional guard dog which may attempt to kill anything unusual in their territory (including domestic pets). Llamas become aggressive if predators (non-human) enter their charge space by advancing toward their new family group. This is why alpaca, goat, and sheep farmers use llamas to stand guard.

Our alpaca and goats have adapted well to Poncho and treat him as one of them (see photo of Poncho with Sonny Boy). He loves his new home and jumps and plays all day in the field. When Randall goes out and walks the perimeter fence, Poncho is right there with him. Currently, Poncho eats and sleeps with the goats (see photo of some of our goats above).
