GRAND DAMS

 Usually the term, “Grand Dams” is reserved for females who have produced a large quantity of crias during their lifetime.  We believe our females are truly grand dams because they have great dispositions, are fantastic mothers, produce abundant milk, are easy birthers, and are simply wonderful!

Woolsey was our second cria out of our *Chilean Cinderella and has been our favorite llama on the ranch. Since birth, she has been incredibly sweet and wonderful to work with. Woolsey was named after our local Congresswoman, Lynn Woolsey, who we have admired for her work in Congress.  Woolsey has passed along her great personality to her offspring.  Her first crias, RRLR Chilean Eloquence and RRLR Chilean Emaline, have that special sparkle that everyone loves.
