Llama Ranch
Llamas and Llama Wool For Sale --- (PDF File)
We
Invite You to the Wonderful World of Llamas
 As a community we were looking for a business adventure that would
be rewarding and compatible with our life style as Benedictines.
Llamas were the perfect choice. These gentle animals have a contemplative
spirit and are easy to care for in addition to manifesting a majestic
presence on our beautiful prairies. You are welcome to visit our
hobby ranch.
We received our first two llamas in July of 1994. The
number of llamas varies. We have llamas for sale for breeding,
pets, and guard animals, as well an abundant assortment of fiber
for spinners and spun yarn for knitting. We will offer limited herd
sire service. All of our llamas are registered. We strive to raise
quality llamas with excellent conformation with a tendency to have
abundant fiber.
 What are llamas good for? This is a frequent question.
Llama fiber is used for fiber production; llamas themselves are
used for breeding and showing, predator control especially for sheep,
pets, grazing to control leafy spurge, and pet therapy. Last but
not least, llama fertilizer is one of the best there is.
If you
are thinking of buying a llama, this page will give you a brief
description of llamas for sale. However no matter how much you read
about llamas there is nothing like hands-on-experience. So give us
a call and come for visit. See the type of fencing and sheds needed,
walk with a wooly companion, ask lots of questions and make new friends
over a cup of coffee with the Sisters.
If you are interested in fiber
for spinning or knitting or crocheting let us know. We can make
individual skeins of yarn to your specification. We also sell llama
wool items made by the sisters such as pouches (great for change
purse or rosary), felt purses, neck scarves etc.
We periodically give
workshops on contemplation and spinning.
