She has been involved in llama breeding for over 15 years and holds membership in the Alpaca and Llama Breeders Association, adhering to routine health testing and vaccination schedules. At Llamas of a Coral Dawn, animals graze on high-elevation grasslands and receive daily socialization and low-stress handling to foster calm temperaments. The farm’s heritage extends through three generations of local caretakers, and visitors often remark on the herd’s gentle nature.

Woodsum emphasizes responsible husbandry with open-air shelters, sturdy perimeter fencing and balanced nutrition plans formulated with veterinary guidance.

Each llama receives routine hoof trimming, dental checks and ongoing wellness care tailored to its individual needs.
