Janurary 30, 2010 This year we are very excited to have three girls
from Washington County to come and work with our llamas. Last year was our first year as a host farm for the llama project.
We had one girl last year work on our farm. We learned so much and had a ton of fun that of course we wanted to do it again
this year. You don't have to own a llama to be in the llama project. That's where host farms come in. The kids come out to
the farm about 6 hours a month and learn to take care of a llama which includes: barn chores, grooming, haltering, feeding,
and learn all about llama behavior. They build a relationship with the llama. They must learn to trust each other if
they are going to be a working team. The ending project is when the kids show off all their hard work that they have accomplished
with their llama at the Washington County Fair in July.
The 4H kids and their llamas took part in Celebrate
Families at Washington County Fair Park. The public had a chance to come and meet the llamas. All of the llamas behaved very
well. Some llamas even became lazy and laid down while greeting the public.
