Middle Earth Llamas

Middle Earth Llama Ranch, run by Bob Schimpf, raises ccara (classic) llamas in Washington State with a clear focus on pack animals bred and conditioned for trail work.

The ranch's program centers on selecting llamas for structural soundness and movement, traits it considers fundamental to producing capable working animals. Schimpf has written extensively on pack llama conformation, emphasizing that a well-built llama should move effortlessly and hold up reliably on extended backcountry trips. The herd includes ILR-registered stock, and the ranch has a working familiarity with the Ccara registry, a sub-registry under the ILR administered by the North American Ccara Association that screens animals for structure, movement, and double-coat wool type.

For anyone searching for pack llamas for sale in Washington, Middle Earth Llama Ranch offers animals selected specifically for trail performance rather than show. The ranch also provides leasing options alongside sales, and Schimpf has authored detailed guidance on topics ranging from conformation standards to practical packing techniques, reflecting a hands-on approach built around time spent on the trail with his animals.
