​As this memorable year winds down we wanted to pause and take a look at 2020's llama auction results. Interest in llamas continues to be strong. Anecdotally, we hear from breeders all the time that they are sold out and continue to receive inquiries, our personal experience supports that as well. Demand continues to outpace supply. But did the up-and-down 2020 economy have an effect on auction prices? In this post we'll share some 2020 statistics and how they compared to results from 2019. 

It's that time of the year! Holiday shopping for our friends, families, and ourselves (why not?). We've compiled a list for llama enthusiasts, things we'd be delighted to receive ourselves and are confident the llama lover in your family will enjoy as well. 

Weaning is very stressful for crias. In this article, I discuss recommendations on how to set up your crias for success during this time, including when to wean, where to wean, and what you can do to make the weaning period successful.  

In June of 2020 we made the trip back to Steve and Sue Rolfing's Great Northern Ranch. We were en route to Bozeman, Montana to meet Paul and Sally Taylor when Steve and Sue graciously hosted us for a short visit. Our first trip to Great Northern Ranch was in July of 2018, as we interviewed them for the very first issue of American Llama. It is well worth reading again, find it by clicking here.
