Meadows Llamas -
Where PERUVIAN LLAMAS are raised in
the farmland
of
Georgia that
they call the "Classic South"
............
" I shall be
telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. "
Robert Frost
Sometimes we are afforded an opportunity in our lives
......... We were ........

We discovered Llamas

Lillian
- An Atlanta native,
who was born in Norway, has a three year Nursing degree from the House of the Good Samaritan
in Watertown, New York. She did her Pediatrics training at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City,
and has an Associate Degree in Science from Excelsior College in New York.
After she & Dave were married she worked as an Operating Room Head Nurse at Syracuse Memorial Hospital
specializing in Orthopedics & Neuro Surgery. Her medical experience became
invaluable in her career with llama ranching.
Whenever spare time permitted she wrote articles for the Southern States Llama Journal and the Llama
Banner
and had her brief 2 year stint as Vice President of the Southern
States Llama Association.
Back
in the early '90's.....
We wanted to enhance our day to day business lives with some new venture-
At
first Dave started out developing a peach orchard of over 100 trees
and Lil's goal was to raise a good group of exotic fibered animals - most
likely Cashmere Goats or Merino Sheep.
But as we continued our journey we came
to the divergent path and made a turn .
To make a long story - shorter - Llamas very soon became a part of our life.
And
in no time we took the road less traveled.
Our Goal - create a small quality herd that we would
be proud to show and also could offer for sale.
We began
breeding for balance, good confirmation, strong bone, and spinner's fiber, in
other words,
llamas which would show well.
To achieve that goal, very early on, we focused on PERUVIANS -
we liked their distinct look
- their congenial disposition -
their attitude & their flash .
AND
over the past 16 years We have been traveling Coast to Coast
showing these beautiful LLAMAS, and enjoying every single minute.
In the Spring of 2009, big changes took place at Kent Rock Meadows -
We made the decision to cut back on the work load,
and find & enjoy other pursuits.
Therefore we have dispersed the majority of our beautiful herd of PERUVIANS,
and have gotten down to a small few of the larger herd we once had...
Some of the
older girls who have done great things for us will stay on here, and one or two
of our beautiful suris will be here..
And we will enjoy less work and more time to spend with each and every one of
them.
