Cassandra Durant, Dvm

Cassandra Durant, Dvm raises llamas in Kiowa, CO, in Elbert County and the Front Range near Denver. As a licensed veterinarian, she follows established herd health protocols, including routine vaccinations, fecal monitoring, and deworming schedules recommended by camelid health experts. Her herd grazes on native grasslands surrounding Durant Veterinary Services clinic, where daily handling sessions help develop gentle, curious temperaments. Breeding decisions emphasize structural soundness and temperament traits common among highland camelids.

Animals live in a low-stress environment with open-sided shelters, fresh water sources, and year-round pasture rotational grazing. Her veterinary background allows for on-site pregnancy checks and prompt treatment of any health concerns, so herd wellness remains a daily priority. Early socialization includes gentle handling alongside family life and gradual acclimation to various sights and sounds. Regular health evaluations are logged at her veterinary practice to inform ongoing herd management.
