About the Tour
Our female and baby llamas live on a ranch located in the meadow-lands three miles north of Burns. Here birds and llamas mix in a tremendous spring delight. Curlews, ibises, and cranes, fly low over head, while Canada geese nest on the haystack. Snow geese by the thousands gather in the fields.
Amid the excitement, we present a three-hour tour during which you will have the opportunity to make friends with the llama of your choice, help them practice their obstacle training, and go for a walk with them. If the babies have arrived, you will meet them personally and have a chance to pet and hold them and keep your cameras clicking all the while.
During the tour we will also present you with a complete background on the care, history, breeding, and uses of these fascinating animals. Collectively we have over ninety years of experience that covers all manner of llama activities, ranging from leading 4H clubs, to training llamas to pull carts, and taking lengthy wilderness pack trips. Come armed with your questions. We will answer them at length.
All necessary aspects of handling the llamas are clearly demonstrated and carefully supervised. To assure that you have very personal attention, our support ratio is one llama expert for every two participants.
Weather can be very changeable on these outings. We can experience everything from warm sun to blowing snow in one morning. Please be prepared for variable conditions. |
