Beware When Burning Brush Piles
Llamas love to roll in sand and ash piles. We've had llamas roll up into the center of a burnt brush pile a couple of days later & find some still hot coals.
This is very unusual!

This has occurred with every North Texas Llama birth we have witnessed. Mommas gather around to make sure the little one has plenty of time to get ready to take on the world. See the little newborn there in the middle?
Treats?
Mix sliced apples and/or carrots into their feed & then begin hand feeding

We don't recommend this, but we have loaded llamas in vehicles
People often ask, "How do you catch them?" We just open the gate!
This is how they breed (Dark female waiting patiently)
Llamas have low protein requirements
At NTX llamas we supplement fertilized bermuda grass hay with small amounts of alfalfa or grain during the winter
Our goal is to always have a large selection from which you can choose.
If you're looking for red-white paint with a black neck and one blue eye, we might just have one!

Llamas Love Alfalfa!
Yeah, this happens sometimes
We always leave a valve open a bit during freezing weather. Looks like we left it open a little too
Always gather up your hay strings!
These strings were found in the belly of a llama that died mysteriously

You can certainly feed grain-based products. We prefer to supplement their coastal hay with small amounts of alfalfa hay. Llamas and alpacas love alfalfa hay!
