Shining Mountain Llamas

Shining Mountain Llamas, owned by Craig Freeman, raises llamas in Como, Colorado, situated in South Park on the high plains below the Mosquito Range, roughly an hour southwest of Denver.

The operation is associated with the latitudellamas.com program, which has been rooted in pack-llama work since the early 1990s. The focus has always been on Ccara, or classic, llamas — short-wooled, athletic animals selected for the strength and endurance needed to carry loads in backcountry terrain. The breeding males have all been proven on the trail, and females in the herd are active packers as well, meaning the animals offered as llamas for sale in Colorado come from stock that has logged real miles.

The program is affiliated with the North American Ccara Association, the registry dedicated to preserving the working llama type. Foundational genetics trace back to the well-regarded Highline Trail Llamas lines out of Wyoming, and the herd has been built around athletic conformation, intelligence, and a willingness to work. Mentoring new llama owners and hosting pack clinics are also part of what the program offers, alongside breeding stock and outside breeding services for approved Ccara females.
