[QUOTE="wapitihuntin, post: 793520, member: 55386"] 3 llamas can be hauled in a half ton truck with a stock rack. 4 llamas would be better for a 3/4 ton with a long box. Llamas browse along the way and can eat almost any type of plant. There are a few plants that are poisonous if eaten by a llama. I'm a fan of having control of the animal that I am in the woods with. That way if your walking up the trail and hear an elk bugle I am able to tie the animal up and go hunt it without the interference of the pack animal. There llamas will eat about 1.5 - 2 tons of hay a winter with summer grass. Llamas can go two to three days without water as they are part if the camelid family. The classic working llama that the Ccara organization is working to preserve is a shedding animal with guard hairs. With a coat like this shearing is not required. Llamas feet need to be trimmed in the spring and potentially the fall depending on the type of terrain that they are packed in. A llama can pack 1/3 of its weight with the average packing llama in the 300- 400 pound range. Packing this much is not advised until they are 3.5-4. Most pack llamas will be able to pack until they are 17-20. [/QUOTE]
