Thanks for letting us share with
you the thing we llove more than anything -- our llamas and our small farm in
southeastern Ohio. Our program ... to raise the healthiest, gentlest,
most correct
llamas we can so that every person who buys llamas from us will have nothing but
success and happiness with them... whether it's showing them at fairs, producing
beautiful babies with them, or having them as their companions in the field and
for life!
Llama education and support after each sale has always been the
goal of "Timberlane Llamas". As you tour our farm, we hope you will find
some interesting ways you can share your llamas with others. Jack shares
some of the original plans he has designed over the years that have made
caring for our llamas much easier.
Jack and I retired from being teachers and
administrators in the public school system many years ago.
What started out as a llove affair with our first
two little boy llamas over 21 years ago has turned into a full time llama business
in which we consider ourselves the luckiest people in the world!
We always tell people who come to our farm to NOT buy
llamas to make money... however, you certainly can if you "treat them -
feed them - breed them right".
Our place is only 30 acres so we don't call it a
farm. This is pretty typical of many people who fall in llove with llamas and
decide to raise them. But it's plenty big enough for these animals!
For many years it was only 6 acres.
I llove to show! That's when you can show
others what "your" llamas are like. This is "Headliner", one of our
breeding males and a "gentle giant".
We have twelve beautiful breeding females who
give us wonderful babies every year, and four breeding males who are true gentlemen. There are roughly 25 llamas on our place at
any one time.

Some of our babies with "D.J." |
We sell all the offspring born to us after each is weaned
at about 7 months of age. To date we have had 120 babies born at our place and we have lost
just one. That's a little luck ... feeding them like Dr. Norman Evans (Kentucky)
tells llama people to ... seeing to their very basic health care needs through
our local veterinarians - The Masterson Veterinary Clinic ... and listening to
the most recent teachings and findings of Dr. Jeff Lakritz (Head of the Camelid
Dept.) at the Ohio State University Vet Hospital. It's actually very simple,
just as llamas are!
If you have a question or want to come for a visit, I'd llove to have you!
And remember ....
No matter your age
No matter your life style
Llamas, for hundreds of reasons, are PERFECT to make that journey with
you!
