Finding good quality Ccara style packers is the biggest challenge in becoming a llama packer. The vast majority of Llamas in Llama land are animals which have been bred for fiber and showing. They are plentiful and usually a few hundred dollars. A well trained, guaranteed Pack Llama four to five years old is usually several thousand dollars. Young and untrained or older Llamas will be lower in cost. First time Llama owners should try hard to find trained animals. Many Ccara Llama ranches are small and under the radar. There are llama outfitters in the Rocky Mountains who are visible and active breeders but may be unwilling to sell their best animals. Buying a pair of their older packers and then getting on a waiting list for young ones is a possibility.
