Little Doc's

Little Doc's llama herd in Huddleston, VA, serves Bedford County and the Blue Ridge region near Roanoke. Dr. Karen Baum has overseen this herd for several years and maintains membership in the Alpaca and Llama Show Association, following routine health testing for fleece quality and parasite control. The animals graze on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments, with cria socialized from birth to foster gentle interaction.

Based at a family farm on Wandering Acres Road, Little Doc's combines veterinary expertise with hands-on husbandry. Dr. Baum applies her veterinary background to daily herd wellness checks, ensuring prompt care and gentle handling. Feeding protocols emphasize balanced nutrition with locally sourced hay and mineral supplements tailored to each stage of growth. Barn and shelter designs provide ample space for rest and are regularly inspected to ensure safety and cleanliness. The herd has been evaluated for fleece density and structural soundness, reflecting a commitment to both fiber quality and animal welfare.
