Herd Sires

Back in 1988 the search was on for what type of llama we wanted
to raise. After looking at all the llama sale catalogs out there,
the decision was made to concentrate on small imported llamas.
We quickly fell in love with a newly imported adorable Chilean
female, and brought her home.

We named her Lanosa. Lanosa was conceived in Chile during
quarantine and born in Brazil. We also bought her mother,
Pachamamita, as we felt any llama that could carry a pregnancy
through all of quarantine must be of sturdy stock. We discovered
through bloodtyping that Lanosa’s father was the prepotent sire,
Top Flight, who she resembles quite remarkably in looks. Top
Flight is known for his presence and his offspring.

When looking for a smaller male to breed Lanosa to, we sought
out Senior Bolivia, a Bolivian import, with long, drapey wool. We
also aquired Lanosa’s sister, Bonita, a daughter of Chilean
Blanco Lobo. Lobo was said to have the best disposition of any
herd sire. Bonita gave birth to Matero’s Sombra, Carbonero’s
mother, who was bred to Senior Bolivia.

Pachamamita was bred to Santiago Amigo, another full Chilean
also known to have a wonderful disposition. Her daughter,
Pinta Pecosa (Speckled Freckles) was bred to Strawberry Field,
a Chilean Appaloosa sire, who is the father of Opaloandino
Strawberry Moon.

Pachamamita was also bred to Senior Boliva. This resulted in
the birth of Celestina, once called, ‘Ms Wonderful Wool’ by
spinners. Celestina was bred to Chilean Blanco Lobo and Cocoa
Rico Lobo was born with his daddy’s good looks and personality.

Chilean Matero was one of the youngest of the Chilean imports.
He is our senior herd sire. His offspring tended to be smaller,
with curly wool and fantastic tail sets. A high percentage of his
offspring have been female!

Mr Bear is an older Bolivan import who has come here to spend
his retirement. His offspring has his great disposition and are
very wooly.

Bolivian Top Banana came here and spent a short time breeding
before my vet fell in love with him and just had to have him. His
offspring are the smallest yet and love people, as he does.
