I use to have a pair of pack Llamas. I hunted with them quite a bit. They are a piece of cake to take care of. They would pack anywhere from 80-120 pounds each. You just put them on a dog stake at night. Cost per year to own was about $100 each. I averaged feeding them two bales of hay a year. The rest of the time they were just on pasture. I only have about 1 acre fenced so they are easy. I only took a little grain when packing them in. I'd give them a handful at night on the days they worked. You only have to take them to water on the third or fourth day of your trip which is why I got them to begin with. If its been raining they won't even drink then. Drawbacks are you can't ride them and you have to weigh your packs on each side so they are within a pound or two since they don't have withers like a horse does. Other than that they are easy. If you get some, I still have some high end pack frames and packs. They make packing easy. PM me if you have any questions.

extremely miss-leading post if you dont own any stock and are not set up yet. There is thousands involved.
