 Llama Owners of Southern Oregon
Members Abrams, Joyce & Harry, Forest Edge Farm ~ We began our journey into the world of llamas with two young males in 1995, then added several females over the next year and began breeding. We increased our herd over several years to 21 lovely llamas who are protected by our two Maremma livestock guardian dogs. All of our llamas are sweet natured and many have fine fiber that we use to make our popular felted llama fiber hats. All of our llamas have good basic training, including basic obstacle training. Some have show experience and some are pack trained and have packing experience. Others have participated in parades and visits to other public events. Joyce also writes for the national newsmagazine, Llama Life II, and is chair of a national committee developing standards of care for llamas and alpacas. Locally, Harry and Joyce both work with the team of SOLO folks who find ways to improve the lives of llamas in need of new homes, and Harry spends most of his time just being with our wonderful animals. Call or email and come for a visit. We love to share out llamas. 541-592-6078 Bamford/Josselyn, Heather and Neil, East Fork Ranch ~ We have been breeding for 23 years. We specialize in high end show and fiber animals as well as packers in training. Pets that can work, animals for wool harvest. Our production resides all over the country and in Australia. Please see our website for more information. PO Box 662, Cave Junction, OR 97523, Email phone 541-592-3612 . Bielskis, Chuck and Ingrid, Lucky Chucky Llamas ~ We have had llamas since 1979. Currently we have a stud, one gelding and thirteen older females, some as old as 22 years old. We have left the breeding to others. We hope to help reduce the trauma of llamas needing new homes. The Oregon State University experimental farm near Jacksonville, OR requested the use of llamas for protecting boar goats from coyotes. Three goats were killed before any llamas were put into the pens. None were lost while our llamas were in charge. Many of our llamas have been in several local parades and visited grade schools. Many visits to our llama farm over the years have included: abused children, children from day care, clubs, & people that wanted to know more about llamas.

Chuck Bielskis as well as Ann, Kelsey, and Mikayla Woolsey provided the llamas and were the Llama Wranglers. 2916 Foots Creek Rd., Gold Hill, OR 97525, Email, Phone 541-582-4228 Casto,
Ginger and Ward, James ~ River Dance Ranch ~ We have been raising
llamas since 1998. We specialize in breeding colorful appaloosa
llamas with prize winning fiber and gentle dispositions. Our
herdsire, Tahachapi, has produced 9 offspring all boasting
appaloosa markings from delicate dilute silver and white
backgrounds to bold, loud calico markings. Our Jr. herdsire,
Sundancer, (out of Tahachapi) is carrying on his father's record
with two female cria's sporting his appy markings with the added
glory of curly and spiral fiber. Our prime interest in raising
llamas is producing sound, healthy and gentle beings with
spinning quality fiber. We are able to discover each llamas
potential and train them to realize their niche in llama life. We
have sold llamas for pets, packing, and as sentinels for sheep
and goats. Ginger processes llama fiber, spins and knits all
manner of items from scarves, vests, sweaters and socks. We have
18 llamas, 5 males and 13 females. 2688 Little Applegate Rd.,

Victor,
Allen and Liz, Bolt Mountain Farm ~ In 1996 we became captivated by llamas, and
brought home our first pair. It soon became obvious that just two llamas were not enough and so our little herd
grew. Over the years we have enjoyed breeding, showing and marketing llamas.
But our biggest joy has just been “hanging out and unwinding” with these
unique creatures, and sharing this experience with others. Grants Pass, OR 97527
