Deb Mayo, Dvm

Deb Mayo, Dvm raises llamas in Golden, CO in Jefferson County and the Front Range near Denver. She has practiced large animal medicine for more than two decades, applying comprehensive herd health protocols, genetic screening when available and meticulous wellness exams to every llama. Each llama benefits from nutritionally balanced diets, rotational pasture turnout and daily gentle handling to encourage social bonds. Her veterinary background guides breeding decisions toward structural soundness and calm dispositions.

The result is a small family herd on gently rolling acreage, where each llama enjoys regular enrichment, shaded paddocks and ongoing social interaction. Training focuses on ground handling and obstacle exercises to build confidence and trust. Prospective owners often comment on the llamas’ calm nature and robust health as soon as they meet them. Their feeding program includes forage selection and trace mineral supplementation to support healthy growth and vitality.
