Potato Ranch Llama Packers

Potato Ranch Llama Packers is a llama breeder in Sonora, CA, in the Mother Lode region near Sacramento. As a family-owned operation, it maintains recommended health protocols with annual veterinary examinations, routine hoof trimming and adherence to registry guidelines. Fleece is shorn each spring for use by local fiber artists.

Llamas graze on open pasture and receive daily hands-on care to support a calm temperament and reliable packing readiness. Offspring begin trail training shortly after weaning, learning to carry light loads and navigate varied terrain. Several ranch llamas have appeared at regional outdoor events, demonstrating steady work ethic and calm presence among hikers.

The ranch’s setting on rolling foothills offers natural shelter and varied forage, fostering hardy animals well suited for outdoor pursuits. Greg Harford focuses on gentle socialization, ensuring each llama forms a positive bond with handlers and visitors.
