Another great video. Love the fact on how in depth you go with your feeding program and the reasons why you feed what you do for your geographic area. Great stuff.
Awesome and informative videos! I appreciate how "to-the-point" you guys are and the overall quality of the video. Usually channels like this I have to do a lot of fast forwarding to get to the point and it's hard to follow. We live in Alaska and are trying to get ourselves set up for Llamas in hope to start training them to pack. I have been watching a ton of your videos the last couple of days and have learned more than the last month of research! We are especially interested, and having a hard time finding information, about keeping llamas warm and happy in the winter, especially since it gets as cold as -50F here. We are trying to find a way to build a barn without completely breaking the bank. Kind of wondering what you would recommend as far as amount of space each llama should have inside of a shelter. We are hoping to purchase 3 llamas this summer and want to be completely set up before we pick them up!
Hey Hannah- That is very exciting for you guys. Thank you for sharing with us and for watching the channel. It is great to hear that some of the things we are are helpful. It can be tough to keep your llamas warm in the winter. The type, style, and dimension of a Shelters is also a tough decision. For 3 llamas I would recommend a 12 foot wide by 12 foot long and 8 feet high at the low end. I think a 3 sided loafing shed would be ideal. If you can face it into the morning sun and also try to keep the back of the shelter faced towards where the predominately wind blows, that would be ideal. We have 4 foot wings on one of our old barns. This is to help when the wind change directions. Bedding heavy with straw if you find it, good shelter, water temp of 40-60 degrees, daily grain supplement, free choice feed of high quality hay, and then a blanket over your llamas when it is really cold is what we would do when temps got below -10 for long periods. Feel free to call or email us anytime. We will try to help if we can and if not we can just talk llamas. Have a great rest of the week.
Awesome, thanks for the advice! It’s a relief we might not have to build a completely enclosed or huge barn since we have to deal with permafrost here. We are stoked to get started and try our best to train some pack llamas to take hunting up here in AK! Definitely going to be a learning curve haha
@@hannahthurmond8507 You guys will do great. I look back at my starting years with fondness. Man the crazy things we did, saw and learned. They all add up to be great life moments. You are going to do great. The permafrost is something we have never seen or dealt with. I am sure you will find a way around it. Good luck and enjoy the journey.
looks like ya'll do a real good job Bo proud of you keep it up I wish I could have a llama but I don't know how to take them along here in Arkansas so they're look like real good animals
@@wildernessridgetrailllamas6971 You guys are doing a really good job. Judging by the comments below, it is a success and I know it is, I am wanting to get Lamas now...Just joking...I love your hunting and trekking adventures too.
I'd love to hear more about why you do things they way you do, and the process that got you there. "We tried this based on X, but found Y, so we decided to try Z..." Also interested in your business goals and structure.
Hey Aiyana- Thank you for another good comment. In two weeks we will release our first videocast where we go into more detail about the questions that you have. You can always reach out on our website or send us a direct email as well.
@@wildernessridgetrailllamas6971 thanks, I am trying to learn everything I can. I only mentioned those here because you have asked in the videos what we would like to hear about and see.
Your comments and suggestions are very helpful. Thank you very much. Our list of videos and information seems endless. We will for sure try to get to some of your ideas and questions this month or next.
I jusst talk to you on the Phone.Too much money for a llama $3K . I do not want to get in to this buss. I want them just for protection,around of my 14 Ac of land in AZ state. I want you to have good luck.

We rescued a llama doomed to be put down and rely on your videos, since we have no previous experience. Thanks!
