F. E. Baxter

F. E. Baxter, llamas, Kerrville, TX in the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio. For over a decade Baxter has cared for llamas under the Southwest Llama Rescue banner, maintaining membership in the International Llama Association and following a health screening routine recommended by leading experts. Each animal is raised with daily pasture time, gentle handling from a young age, and access to sheltered barns through variable weather. All llamas undergo routine veterinary checkups and follow recommended vaccination schedules to ensure long-term health.

Baxter’s rescue began as a small family endeavor and grew into a well-regarded sanctuary known for patient, individualized care. The herd benefits from a balanced diet of local forages and custom mineral blends designed to support strong hooves and healthy coats. Regular enrichment activities encourage natural behaviors, and seasonal shearing days involve volunteers who learn about fiber processing. Visits by appointment allow prospective adopters to observe interactions and learn about llama behavior in a low-stress environment.
