Lost Creek Llamas

Lost Creek Llamas, llamas in Dexter, OR, serve Lane County and the Willamette Valley near Eugene. Owner James Krowka has bred llamas for over a decade, following routine veterinary screenings and participating in regional fiber guilds.

The herd grazes on mixed pasture with access to shelter year-round, and young crias are handled daily to foster gentle temperaments. Routine deworming, dental exams and hoof trimming are part of the health program, and selective breeding targets consistency in fiber diameter and staple length. The property’s varied terrain, streams and mixed hardwood groves support natural hoof health, offer summer shade and opportunities for hardy stock selection. Soil tests and rotational grazing practices help sustain pasture quality and promote nutrient-rich forage.

Natural fencing and wooded corridors allow llamas to follow seasonal grazing patterns, reflecting an approach that balances pasture rotation with wildlife habitat. Several herd members have placed at county fairs and fiber shows, reflecting the farm’s focus on practical conformation and fleece consistency.
