How do you shear a llama?

You can use scissors to shear a few llamas. To shear more, you'll probably want a pair of electric shears. Teach the llama to stand, be tied to something by the halter, and to be touched all over. Then get her used to the shears. Remember that not even wind gets through that hair, so she's not used to anything touching her skin.

Don't hold or pull the hair as you cut it, as you might pull skin up into the blades. If you're using scissors, tilt them a bit so the cutting edges are not right against her skin. If you're not experienced, cut for 10 minutes a day until the job is done because you'll be slow and you'll both get tired and cranky.

With electric shears and experience, you'll be able to shear a llama in about 20 minutes.

How much would a llama cost in the US?

The price of llamas differ depending on quality and whether or not it is registered. I have seen llamas sell for as low a $250 but they are typically unregistered or gelded males. If you are looking to purchase higher quality llamas that are registered, your prices usually start at $1,000 and go up considerably depending on bloodline and quality.

Tip: Usually you will get better prices if you buy at least two llamas.

Tip: Male llamas are typically much cheaper than female llamas because they have to be separated from the main herd to prevent unplanned breedings. This requires more pasture to keep them. Some male llamas do not get along with other male llamas, so that means more pasture again.

Tip: If you buy "unproven" males, you can pay a lot less. Unproven means that they have not won any awards in the show ring. The exception to this is if the male's herdsire (father) is proven and highly sought after in the market.

Where can you get a llama?

Llamas farms are spread across the US and are your best option if you are looking for a great pet. Often you can find llamas at livestock sales in rural areas but purchasing this way you don't always know the llamas personality or how it's been treated. Llamas are large animals and not all of them make good pets or guards or pack animals. Buying from a reputable farm is the best way to get a healthy, well-behaved llama.

A great place to get registered and show llamas is llama nation (see related links) where they also have locations of llama farms across the country.
