Icehouse Llamas

Icehouse Llamas, llama breeders in San Dimas, CA, is in the San Gabriel Valley near Los Angeles.

It has several years of experience caring for llamas and follows national association guidelines with regular health screenings, vaccinations, and fiber evaluations each spring. As a family-run ranch, it emphasizes balanced nutrition with custom mineral blends and selective mating to support herd genetics. Daily handling, seasonal hoof care, and close monitoring of behavior ensure any concerns are addressed promptly.

Its breeding focuses on strong maternal instincts and consistent fleece quality. The herd enjoys rotational grazing on open pastures, and young llamas are gently handled from weaning to promote trust and calm temperaments. The ranch participates in regional agricultural fairs and educational events to share knowledge about llama care and fiber arts. Eileen Ditsler launched this operation to encourage responsible husbandry and community engagement through on-farm workshops.
