Many get sucked in by the "bigger is better" theory...Better is better, I have had 6 or so huge llamas and they were my weakest packers, several were flat out useless. On the other hand I have had some 250 lb firebrands that were just amazing. Their heart is what packs, not their back... Lotta people like that too BTW!

I just got 7 new ones and sold the 4 girls yesterday. The 3 little guys are next summer's project, it should be more manageable than last year when I took on 7, too much of a good thing. They are fascinating critters, and there aint nothing like going into the back country and coming out with a couple elk in one trip with a well mannered string of your own self trained llamas. Much like that first point of a dog you worked yourself from a pup... not a better feeling in the world for an animal guy!
