History of our Farm It all started in 1979. We would take 3 and 4 mini vacations a year to Oregon. Ingrid (my wife) asked if we could take time to look at llama farms this trip. We were going to Sisters Oregon with friends we know. They mentioned they met a person at church who had llamas in Grants Pass Or. We thought we would take a look. In those days it was customary to buy a pair of llamas. He had two female and two males for sale. One male had a protruding front tooth. It looked as though he was smoking a cigarette. We chose the younger male which was a Doolitle son. We at that time did not know anything about Doolittle. We chose a white female that had a baby by her side. We were told after the baby was weaned she would be available. I decided at this time I would come back after Thanksgiving to pick up this pair.With help from a friend that was building a home for us at Butte Falls Oregon, built a plywood box on the back of my truck for the 800 mile trip back to Murrieta ,Ca. Finally the trip was over and at 5AM they were unloaded to their new home. This was the beginning of nearly 20 years of llama llove and up to 27 llamas at one time. This all started with" Can we have a llama?" Unfortunately, the male llama died later of a rattlesnake bite on the face, and the female died after giving birth. Her cria was fed 12 times around the clock. Ingrid slept on the couch and the baby would put her nose against her face to wake her up. She would follow to the wash porch and the baby wet on newspapers on the floor. We finally cut back to 3 and 4 times during the daylight hours. That baby lived in our home for 6 weeks. That girl moved with us to Oregon, between Gold Hill and Rogue River. She will be 16 years of age this year. She is only part of our herd of 23 llamas. Chuck Bielskis - Llucky Chucky Llamas
