Potato Ranch Packers

Potato Ranch Packers raises ccara llamas in Sonora, California, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, about an hour and a half southeast of Sacramento in the heart of the Mother Lode region. Owner Greg Harford has spent more than 30 years working with pack llamas in the rugged backcountry of the Sierra Nevada and Cascades, and that deep field experience drives every decision in his breeding program.

Greg's focus is squarely on producing ccara llamas for sale in California that can perform reliably in mountainous terrain. His selection criteria center on structural soundness, stamina, and the kind of calm, cooperative temperament that makes an animal trainable and safe to handle on the trail. The five-acre ranch gives the herd room to graze and move across varied foothill ground, which supports the conditioning and hardy constitution the program is built around.

Young animals begin trail training early, learning to accept a pack and navigate uneven terrain before they leave the ranch. The breeding program has been refined over decades with an emphasis on animals that form a genuine working partnership with their handlers, whether for recreational backcountry trips or longer expeditions on routes like the John Muir Trail or Emigrant Wilderness.
