About Us

---

is a rotational grazing operation near Campbell, TX that is the  home to more than 130 llamas and occasionally a few alpacas. Jimmy  Dickey grew up in North East Texas halfway between Dukes of Hazard  and Deliverance before traveling to Commerce, TX for his formal  education earning a B.S. degree in Agribusiness from East Texas State in  1987.  Being a simple man, it took him more than 15 years to recognize  he wasn't smart enough to be in the cattle business.  It was 2003  when he purchased a few llamas to clear brush & within a few  years the herd had grown to around 25 head before Dickey's wife Pam  asked a question that would change their life forever, "Are you ever  going to sell any llamas?".  Dickey struggled for a response & just  mumbled something about there not really being a market for llamas.   Pam's response was, "so why do we have them?".  Dickey didn't have a  good answer to either of these questions so it became a challenge for  him to sell down the herd a bit. Being technically-challenged, Dickey  stepped out of his comfort zone to develop a simple website and within  weeks northtexasllamas.com had sold all 25 llamas.  So the  Dickeys bought more llamas & then some more.  That was in 2009 &  the Dickeys have now raised/purchased more than 2,800 llamas and alpacas.
