2012 HAS BEEN DECLARED:
INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF THE WORKING LLAMA
It is the International Year of the Working Llama! The Australian and New Zealand llama associations have decided to promote the working llamas and have invited the ILR (International Llama Registry) to join their efforts, making this a truly international event! The Australians and New Zealanders are renaming their show categories to honor working llamas and promote the diverse uses that llamas have.
On our farm, we have been blessed to know llamas in many of the "working llamas" categories: guard llamas, packing llamas, therapy llamas and carting llamas. Congratulations to just a few of our own representatives of these categories:
Pebbles (pictured top right) is one of our top therapy llamas. She has been to schools, nursing homes and walk-a-thons and has represented the "working llama" beautifully.
Don Tomas' (pictured right) strutted his stuff at the Best of MO Market at the MO Botanical Gardens.
Amanda (pictured left) was our #1 therapy llama for over 15 years. Here she poses with the co-chairs of the Best of MO Market: Nora and Ellen.
