Book Review,
By Karin Carmack (POWHATAN, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Llamas: Care/Showing/Breeding/Packing/Profiting (Paperback)
I found this book to be somewhat helpful, but lacking in a lot of areas. For example they did not go into a lot of details on llama care. (i.e. worming schedules, types of wormers, shearing practices etc.) Good if you are into breeding. I am just an individual that has two llamas as pets and wanted detailed info. on their care.

The essential book for new llama owners,

This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Llamas: Care/Showing/Breeding/Packing/Profiting (Paperback)
I first got this book when I bought my first llamas a few years ago. It was the one recommended to me by the breeder. Since then, it is the book I recommend to all those just starting out with llamas. It is also the book I recommend to those who just think they might want llamas. The book has information on everything, from basic conformation to packing and showing. What it lacks in depth of information, it more than makes up for in references. I still run to this book when I have questions, and have read it through several times. If you are thinking about getting a couple of llamas or a whole herd, read this book first!

Excellent starter book for novices,
By John Halliburton (Toccoa, Ga USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Storey's Guide to Raising Llamas: Care/Showing/Breeding/Packing/Profiting (Paperback)
Gale Birutta has put together a well thought out book, that covers all aspects to owning llamas for a novice.Chapters cover selection, care, feeding, training, etc., each in enough detail to cover the topic, without becoming boring or overbearing. Quirks of the animals were covered ( they are head shy as a breed trait), that alone kept us from making mistakes when visiting llama farms. The information in this book was invaluable to us when we began visiting llama farms. We actually knew what we were looking at and could ask intelligent questions of the owners !! Well done, write another !!
