Steel Valley Llamas

Steel Valley Llamas, a llama breeder in Berlin Center, OH, serves Mahoning County near Youngstown. Charlene Arendas has raised llamas for over a decade, is a member of the International Llama Association, and follows recommended health testing for parasite loads and dental checks. Each animal lives on well managed pastures with regular hoof care and daily handling to build trust and calm temperaments. In spring animals are sheared and their fiber is prized by local weavers for softness and durability.

The farm’s approach emphasizes natural herd dynamics and early socialization for both pets and pack animals. The small herd size allows personalized attention, occasional educational visits, and farm treks that highlight each animal’s gentle disposition. Visitors often note the tranquil atmosphere and healthy weight indicators on each llama’s record. Charlene maintains transparent records on lineage and health history to ensure lifelong wellbeing.
