Dear Llama Enthusiasts,

As 2006 draws to end, we are excited and thankful for the growth and support we have had in the past year. We are excited that our private treaty offerings and sales increased in 2006 and that we helped many of you sell your llamas! We were able to offer four online auctions - 2 National and 2 for individual farms. We learned a lot based on this experience, and it will allow us to constantly improve our services offered to you. We look forward to working with our repeat customers as well as new ones. Let's make 2007 a memorable year for LLAMAS! Our industry has awesome leaders, great supporters, brilliant minds, and a whole lot of people that care about llamas. If we all work together, individuals and organizations alike, we can make great strides in advancing our industy and experiencing a higher growth rate.

Breeders' Directory - Full Throttle Recruitment

We are pleased to report that we have attempted to contact farms in the lower 48 states and even some farms in Canada for the Breeders Directory. About 90+ farms have signed up so far, which is excellent proof that more of us want to see growth in the llama industry. We are still very much in the construction stage, but to see our new directory website, go to http://llamabreeder.com/llamatest2.php. Now that we have finished the recruiting stage, we will begin placing the farms into their respective states. We are still editing, so please ignore any typos, but we just wanted to give you an idea about how this site will look. There are farms listed in Virginia (demo) and a few other East coast states viewable now. We are expecting this site to be up and running sometime in February. More about the plans for this directory will be revealed in the coming months.....stay tuned.


Web Design

For years Burnt Mountain Llamas has offered web design as part of their services. Each site we create is unique from one another. We are also able to meet your needs for Flash animation, databases, and other sophisticated add ons if that is what you want or need. Below is one of the latest designs created for FreeState Llamas from Virginia. We encourage you to go their site at www.ILoveSpit.com. Bookings are currently taking place for websites in 2007. You can just reply to this newsletter for more information on having a web site created and to see our portfolio.

March Madness Is Coming! March 3-10, 2007

This will be our third March Madness sale, and usually the most popular one we have for the year. It will be here before we all know it. In fact, we are going to need materials for consignments no later than February 1, 2007. As in the past, we will probably take about 5 males if this sale typical of previous March Madness sales. Good photos will be needed and we will need photos of front/back legs, side profile, and a fiber photo at the minimum. Please send in ones that you want to represent your breeding program. We are pleased to announce that we have added two additional members to the Selection Committee. This will provide more input and dialogue, and it could be interesting to see how voting goes.

LSL Summer and Fall Online National Sales To Be Ceased

Upon reflection of the number of llama sales in the Summer/Fall, we have decided to cease with our summer/fall sale offering. There are so many other sales during this time, that is doesn't really help to have one more sale. However, it is possible that we could have production sales in this time period for farms that wish to sign up. We will probably offer 2-3 dates/year for production sales. If the situation changes in the future and the number of sales in the fall decreases, we may once again offer a fall sale. We thank those that supported our summer/fall sales as buyers and/or sellers.
