It's An Adventure! Llama Ranch

It’s An Adventure! Llama Ranch, llama breeders in Ahwahnee, CA, is nestled in Madera County and the Sierra Nevada foothills near Fresno. Kris Barnes has built a herd over several seasons, prioritizing routine health screenings and following established guidelines for llama breeding. They adhere to standards recommended by national llama organizations.

The ranch’s herd grazes open pastures with daily socialization to foster calm, trusting animals suited to family farms. Living shelters offer relief from heat and wind, and pasture rotation with natural forage supports healthy digestion and strong fiber quality.

As a small family operation, they ensure personalized care for each llama, monitoring nutrition and behavior closely. Many of the llamas here participate in educational demonstrations and small-scale fiber projects, where their soft fleece is valued. Visitors often comment on the animals’ friendly disposition and the relaxed pace of ranch life.
