NEW!!! By popular demand ... Get Connected! training workshops with Jim and Gwen!     Lost Creek Llamas began in 1985 with the purchase of one classic llama, a second llama boarder, and a vision -- to produce the finest pack llamas possible, and to never stop learning about llamas. In 1986 we returned to Oregon and moved onto 20 acres south of Dexter. Today, our permanent llama family has grown to just over twenty. We also have a number of student llamas in training and/or rehabilitation, and we are fortunate to be able to keep in touch with a number of former residents happily placed in suitable homes. Our high-performance classic llama breeding program consists of the very best outcross classic llamas we could locate, and we have been very pleased with the results thus far. We continue to amass information from every source available, conduct our own research, and delve into the less tangible and yet supremely important realm of our llamas' minds. We cordially invite you to browse through our website, get to know about our llama friends, get the straight scoop on a few sacred subjects, and glean information -- some of which you aren't likely to find anywhere else.
