Chad Wippermann maintains this family-owned herd, participates in national registry programs, and performs routine health screenings for each llama. Animals are raised on pasture with sheltered loafing areas, enjoy daily handling from an early age, and graze alongside sheep to promote strong herd instincts. Each animal receives annual fleece evaluation, and garments made from their fiber have been exhibited at regional craft fairs.

Their breeding lines trace back to Peruvian imports, reflecting a focus on gentle temperament and premium fiber, which lends itself well to pack work and fiber arts. Visitors often remark on the llamas’ calm demeanor and sociable character during farm visits. The farm’s commitment to environmentally conscious land management supports biodiversity across the property. Chad draws on extensive experience learning from established Peruvian breeders and regional fiber specialists.
