Barb Hance

Barb Hance is a llama breeder in Tucson, AZ, Pima County and the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix. She has been raising llamas for over fifteen years with memberships in national livestock associations and regular health screenings. Each animal lives in spacious paddocks with daily turnout and gentle handling to build calm temperaments.

Breeding stock are selected for gentle temperaments and structural soundness, with each adult evaluated annually by a veterinarian. Clipping sessions are open to experienced owners and family groups to observe best practices in fleece care and processing.

Foals are weaned on pasture and introduced to basic halter training before joining the herd. The farm’s focus on balanced nutrition and routine wellness exams helps maintain strong, hardy animals suited for packing and therapy programs. Undergraduate interns and volunteers often help with daily chores, reflecting her commitment to community education.
