you'll be over-whelmed by adjectives! Charismatic, aloof, regal, intelligent, intuitive, affectionate, curious, compassionate, cheeky, fun, ... the list goes on. And on!

But perhaps the most apt is versatile.

This is truly a multi-faceted creature. One who can and will provide you with companionship, affection,

loyalty and enjoyment … in addition to expanding your range of interests.

Llamas have individual and intriguing personalities, so are ideal companion animals. Intelligent, responsive and gentle, they're easily trained ... and once training is complete ... a 200kg adult llama can be handled safely by a small child … or even taken indoors without fear of damage.

They also make excellent trekkers. Agile and sure-footed over almost any

Furthermore, their twin-toed, soft, leathery padded feet cause minimal environmental impact along the trail, and their tendency to browse rather than graze, lessens damage to native vegetation.

They are also much valued for their therapeutic qualities ... their tranquil gaze and intrinsic curiosity seeming to indicate a genuine interest in, and understanding of the special needs of the elderly, frail and handicapped.

Llama fibre, although not commercially viable, is favoured by spinners, weavers and felters. It's used for felting, rug-making, wall-hangings ... along with a stunning selection of knitwear.

Blending llama fibre with other materials such as silk; wool and mohair has become popular recently … and the resulting specialty high-fashion yarns are quite spectacular.

All Kingbilli llamas are multi-skilled. Our males are trained for guarding duties, trekking and - if temperamentally suited - driving.

Our females, in addition to presenting us with a batch of beautiful crias each Spring, also double as livestock guardians.

All are companionable, affectionate and FUN!
