I told the new owners even before she came down here about his history and she said they were positive they wanted him. They are going to keep him in his own pen for awhile until they have him gelded and then they will try introducing him to their current llamas. I want my llamas and my customers to be happy so I try very hard to make sure they are a good fit. I have dissuaded prospective buyers from choices if I don't believe the one they make is the right one for them and steer them to one I feel is more appropriate.Split Rock Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024537773861076383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562253670243573735.post-10501791374438323322010-08-02T19:17:57.612-06:002010-08-02T19:17:57.612-06:00So, do you tell the new people his history??

I guess it would be best for all if you did--that way you can find the right fit for him, right?? <br /><br />I hope he is better behaved at his new home because he sure is lovely.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562253670243573735.post-75173163970221871672010-08-02T11:28:45.048-06:002010-08-02T11:28:45.048-06:00Nicole: Sometimes we do shear them completely, lik...Nicole: Sometimes we do shear them completely, like they do the alpacas, but it gets so cold here and without a barn they might freeze so I leave the rest on them. If they are sold to new owners who live in a much warmer climate than ours, I will do a full body shear. I think they look rather goofy with a full body shear, but it is just my personal preference. Besides, the barrel is the best fiber!<br />Pricilla: Thank you. I think he will be happier in a place with fewer llamas. I think they're going to geld him, too, which will really help the "T" factor.Split Rock Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024537773861076383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562253670243573735.post-90543787396091817802010-08-02T10:36:39.082-06:002010-08-02T10:36:39.082-06:00He is a majestic looking boy.

something i've alw...oh wow, he's beautiful!<br />something i've always wondered though, why don't you shear the rest of the llama? their neck/hindquarters etc. i know it's common, but i've never known why it is so.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547647596307361415noreply@blogger.com
