President’s Statement
Sean Price, President
I wanted to start my letter to you by asking each of you for some help. Our South Central Llama Association, SCLA, is not getting the membership renewals like we need. In order to keep our local SCLA going, we need your support! Please reach out to all of your llama friends even if they are no longer involved with showing, or their kids are grown and out of the house. Remember, membership is only $40.00 which will go a long way to help educate the public and keeps our llama industry thriving. Unless we get this support,
our organization will not be here. One of the benefits of joining the SCLA is helping the llama industry and the llamas! Llamas don’t have a voice for themselves, but they give so much pleasure to people. Please help! Other benefits of membership in SCLA includes the right to run for office, the right to vote, a copy of the Humming Herald, (the SCLA newsletter), the right to use the SCLA obstacle trailer, being updated by email on many of the current events in the llama industry, youth eligibility for the Jim Graham Memorial Scholarship, and access to the SCLA library. I also wanted to make sure that each of you is aware that I am here for you. If you have any concerns or suggestions for SCLA, feel free to contact me. I hope you see you soon.

Editor’s Note I hope that all is well with everyone and you are dealing with the heat. We are always faced with this issue every year and I know everyone has come up with their own way of keeping their lamas cool. I would hope if anyone comes up with a new idea that they would share. As many of you know we lost B’mer this spring and it is one that you want to say “Why do we raise Llamas?” I thought for a while and it was a simple answer.......The happiness and joy that they bring us. It’s that wonderful adventure between birth and death. I would not have changed one moment. Blessings, Ruby Editor 713-249-8523 hummingherald@figmentranch.com

Humming Herald - SCLA Newsletter Summer 2017
From Jan White: Hi everyone, Hope you are having a good summer. I am once again serving as Superintendent of the Pan Am Llama Show at the State Fair of Texas. Entries are due by September 1, 2017. The schedule has changed. We are no longer on Texas-OU weekend. We are also on a different weekend from the Longhorns, in fact on Friday we will have the whole arena! As I'm sure you've noticed, arrival this year is on Thursday, September 28th. Arrival begins at 8 a.m. and will end promptly at 6 p.m. The Livestock Entry Gate will be closed at 6 p.m. and the Animal Health Inspectors will not be on site to receive animals. Please plan accordingly. The Performance Classes will be held on Friday. As I said earlier we will have the entire arena. Every effort is being made to secure a second judge so we can get through the classes more quickly. Showmanship Classes and Halter Classes will be held on Saturday. Youth Judging Classes will be scheduled either Thursday evening or Friday after the Performance Classes depending upon the number of entries. The SCLA Meeting will be held on Sunday at 10 a.m. with release of livestock on Sunday. I know this makes for a long weekend. I voiced my concerns to the State Fair, but I was unable to get the schedule changed. When you send me your paperwork, please be sure to include your entry form as well as your ILR certificates for each animal entered. If you write the ALSA number of the animal on the ILR copy it really helps! This is something I have started doing after being Superintendent. Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information. Feel free to forward this email to any other exhibitors who are interested in attending the great State Fair of Texas. My email is bbbs@swbell.net and my phone number is 817-343-7072. We look forward to seeing you on September 28th! Big Tex is waiting. Thanks, Jan White

Letter From the President Elect As President Elect of SCLA, I want to start out by saying thank you for trusting me to serve as your President. I have some big shoes to fill, and I want to thank Sean for all his years of service to our association. I have so many ideas in my head, I don't know where to begin!! I am so motivated by the increase in llama values lately. Our sales and auction prices are the highest they have been in 10 years!! With these sales and auctions, we are seeing a lot of new llama owners!! This is wonderful and very encouraging for the llama industry. It has been many years since SCLA has had a clinic or seminar and I think this would be a perfect time to get one planned. We have some very educated and trustworthy Camelid veterinarians In our area that I am sure would love to help us out as speakers. Topics that could be discussed are new de worming protocols, pasture rotation schedules, breeding and fertilization topics, fiber, processing and finished products, as well as what I call hot topics, which are any other questions we all have. I want our association to be the one everyone wants to be a member of. Large or small, experienced or just starting out, I think everyone has something to offer. Please contact me with your ideas and suggestions on what we an do to make your life with llamas more enjoyable!! Live, love and llamas, Susan Leslie Leslielanellamas@gmail.com 830-401-0819

The Llama Mama Pigs, cows, chickens, sheep and other barnyard animals are nurtured and groomed to perfection each year by some of Johnson
Diane Neumann of Cleburne, Texas shares that same spirit while training and showing her herd of 10 llamas.
County’s top future farmers, as they prepare to show them in the Johnson County Livestock Show and Youth Fair and other local events.
“I lived in California before I lived here and I would see people hiking in the mountains with a pack llama with them,” she said. “I just thought that was the neatest thing so I wanted one for 40 years before I got one finally.”
The chance to show off their animals instills in these children not only a sense of pride, but also good work ethic and responsibility. 10
Humming Herald - SCLA Newsletter Summer 2017
Neumann had always had horses growing up and was invited by a friend one night to a horse sale at the Johnson County
Livestock Exchange. “I just kind of went for something to do on a Wednesday night and saw they had a couple of llamas,” she said. “So I raised my hand during the auction and bought the llamas and my friends were all shocked. The only one that wasn’t surprised was my husband [Roger] because he knew I wanted one.” Carol Edwards of Burleson said she told Neumann she didn’t need to buy a llama. “We always used to joke about holding each other’s hands down during auctions so we wouldn’t buy anything,” Edwards said. “We used to go to the sales every Wednesday night, not because we wanted to buy anything, but because we just enjoyed being around the horse activity. Well one night when that llama came out so did her hand and it went up. She didn’t have a trailer or anything to haul it home, but we finally got him loaded into one. Diane is just an all around animal lover.” It wasn’t long before Neumann was trying to wrangle up some more. “And then two weeks later I wasn’t feeling well so I wasn’t going to go to the sale, but one of my friends texted me and said there was a llama there with a baby. So of course I was out the door in a heartbeat and I bought Woody, which is the white one that I do parades and public events with. He was only 3 months old when I got him and his mother.”
Since then, Neumann has purchased llamas of different ages, colors and coat type. “They’re very easy to take care of and they don’t eat much,” she said. “We recently purchased 2 acres behind our property, and hopefully will get it all cleared out soon so we can build a barn to have a bigger place for them.” For now, Neumann keeps her llamas in outdoor pens unless she is training them for their next show. “I used to show dogs so showing my llamas was a natural progression,” she said. “I was enjoying having them so much that I decided I could show them, too.” To prepare for shows, Neumann said she does a lot of grooming. “I get them all brushed and cleaned up and do some shaving,” she said. “In Texas in the summertime we give them a barrel cup shave which is around the middle part of their belly because it keeps them cooler. So for a show I just spruce that up and make sure it’s a good clean-cut.” The texture of a llama’s coat varies. Some have coarser guard hairs on the outer layer and a softer type of wool on the undercoat. A llama’s thick coat can help them withstand the cold, wind, snow and rain. Short hair found in other areas of the llama’s body help dissipate heat when 11
placed in warmer environments. “Then there’s a whole set of obstacles to train for and they can be different at every show,” she said. “We are always in for a surprise.” Neumann has shown her llamas all over Texas, and has taken them to Oklahoma and Kentucky.

“I think my favorite show is the Houston Livestock Show,” she said. “They really put on a good show.” Neumann said llamas are easy to handle when well socialized to humans and their environment. “They’re just real easy and very smart to train,” she said. “People use them for
backpacking, which, I’m getting ready to teach Woody to drive. He has a cart and harnesses already. There’s so many things that you can do with them.” Neumann and her llamas also participate in local parades and events. “The kids just love them and I get a kick out of seeing all the kids get excited over the llamas,” she said. “You can see by the pictures with Woody that he’s really a ham. Put a camera in front of him and he’s really into it.” Neumann said by sharing her love of llamas at local events, she hopes people won’t be afraid of getting spit on. “They just don’t willy-nilly spit,” she said. “Usually, if I get spit on it’s because I’m between two that are arguing over some food or something. They don’t just spit on you for no reason.” Neumann said llamas are great property defenders. “People use them for guard animals,” she said. “They can kill a coyote — males have fighting teeth and if they get their mouths on one we consider it dead. They also make a sound, the closest I can describe it is like a wild turkey. I heard them sounding off one afternoon and went outside looking around for what it was. There was a red fox in the yard and they knew it didn’t belong there.
Three of Neumann’s llamas are expecting babies — called criases — this spring. “I’m pretty excited about that,” she said. “They are about 30 pounds when they’re born. If there aren’t any problems you just let them go ahead and have it on their own. A lot of times, just like any animal, you can wait all day for them to give birth and you go for a cup of coffee and they’re going to have it without you.” Her neighbor, Karen Robertson, said she is really attached to her llamas. “I know she waited all her life to have them and it has worked out to where she can have them and she really loves them,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed watching her grow her family of llamas, and it’s really neat how she shares them with the community in the parades and stuff.” Neumann said she has only sold one of her llamas, and plans to keep all three babies when they are born in the spring. “I send some of the fur — or fiber is what some people call it — to my sister who is learning to spin,” she said. “I’m wanting to use some of it myself to learn felting to make hats.” •

Once upon a time there was a little city girl
whose experience with animals was the typical dog, cat, parakeet and maybe a hamster. One day her Mommy and Daddy, with baby brother tagging along, went to the Fort Worth Zoo for the day. As evidenced by the picture she was enthralled by a baby llama who happened to reside in the petting zoo. Did this plant a hidden see or was it just destiny and meant to be?
Many years later she married a wonderful man named Malcolm and was fortunate enough to be able to quit her real day job. Lo and behold, what does she decide to do with her spare time but to become a docent at the Fort Worth Zoo. This was the perfect spot for her because she had always wanted to teach first grade but she had a tremendous love of all animals. Still a city girl she began working with the llamas to halter break and walk them in the zoo for people to pet. (The petting zoo had long since been eliminated, Thank Goodness. Fast forward lots of years and many llamas later and the little city girl is now Carol Ann with more than 150 (down from about 200) of the beautiful creatures. When Malcolm and I first met he had been raising Semintal cattle as a hobby and his hobby got too large and time consuming and took away the time for him to do the things he really wanted to do, i.e., golf. That herd was sold and he was back to being the city business owner and golfer. He was happy. BUT he did still have the land and the big barn in Boyd just a few miles from where we were living (33 miles driveway to driveway). The beginning of this llama experience did not come easily. She and her husband had many months of discussions, begging, and crying sessions, etc. All I heard was “I sold the cows because I didn’t have time” and I tried to explain to him that “I” wanted to do it. City comes to country, 24

Humming Herald - SCLA Newsletter Summer 2017
right? Finally, he just caved and said “just do it but don’t call me away from the office or the golf course”. And I did! Only in my mind did I actually voice the words “I will lay in the pasture and die with these llamas before I call you”. I can do this myself. I bought a five month old male to have just as a pet and an eight month old female that I could use to breed. Strange bu Sita looked very similar to the baby llama from the zoo. A very good friend of mine that was also a docent at the zoo bought Sita’s half sister from the same breeder and boarded her with my kids in Boyd. We had so many unbelievable, fun and very laughable times in trying to figure out what to do with our new aspiring adventure. We had gathered all of the information and education that we could, which wasn’t much all those years ago, that dealt with actual llamas. We soon found out that book learning and real life experiences are not one and the same. Llamas do not read books and so many things that the experts said that you would never see - hey, we were looking at it square on at the ranch. 25 years ago there were few llama breeders with not a lot of experience themselves so we all just flew by the seat of our pants and the grace of God. We had to resort to the cattle vets because the equine vets had not really gotten on the bandwagon yet. I know exactly what Malcolm was thinking. He was taking beets with himself as to how long it would be before I yelled “uncle” because I broke a fingernail, etc. and the city girl would give up on the country venture and become the fixed hair, the same length fingernails, high heeled clothes horse that he thought he married. Wrong again, Mal. It is a ponytail, old sweats, grub tennis shoes and no makeup. The pipe fencing was in place at the ranch but cross fencing was needed, trees needed to be planted - in other words, cleaned up and made appropriate for my new babies. These were not cows and by gosh, they wouldn’t live like cows. Trich and I hammered in T-posts with me having to stand up in the back of a flatbed truck to be able to reach We stretched the fence, tioed it off, had
our tetanus shots for the puncture holes, and rusty wire not to mention the blisters and splinters. When this was accomplished we decided that there absolutely could not be cow poop in the llama area and so we practically swept the pasture. We were soooo proud of ourselves! Malcolm was watching from disbelieving eyes, continued to fund and didn’t say a word. This is good. Oh gosh, now the pipe fence looked dingy so we painted all of it bright white. Beautiful, but let me tell you one of our city girls stories. We didn’t have a clue that they made mitts to do this so my fence was done lovingly and so neatly with paint brushes in 110 degree heat in August. Eventually I had the barn repainted, new roof and painted all of the columns that supported the overhang. I kept the grass trimmed from the fences and columns and TA-DAH - I finally had my Home and Garden dream barn. Obviously I had a lot more time on my hands at that time. Because of the education director at the zoo knew about all of the experiences I had been having and still teaching at the zoo, instead of calling me Carol Ann he started calling me Carol LLama. The name of the ranch was born - “CarolLama Farms”. When I first purchased the first llamas my ultimate goal was to have 30 breeding females. As you all know, mission accomplished and accomplished and accomplished some more. Gee, I just figure out how that happened and neither can Malcolm - however, at every sale it seems to me that I remember that he was the one with his hand in the air. He started telling me that now he realized that I would eventually have 2000 llamas and not sell a single one. Even I’m smarter that that. Now that you have an idea of how the fun all started I will continue with my aspirations of what I wanted to accomplish in the llama community. I was one of the founding members of SCLA and remember fondly the night this took place in a small restaurant in Bandera. There were just a handful of fellow breeders (maybe 4 or 5 couples). I served as the third President of SCLA and took over the reigns from David Allen at my ranch at a play day with training by John Mallon. What a fun, fun day of comraderie and excellent training for you performance people. The only snafu that I can remember was the wind came
up so strong, we almost lost a couple of porta-potties - sometimes with folks inside. Back then there were so many people wanting to get in the llama business, I did all I could to educate even if they ended up not buying from me. I assured them that if they had a question (and none of those was stupid) to call me anytime, even in the middle of the night and if I couldn’t help them I would find someone that could. After we lost our wonderful friend, Jim Graham, I established the Jim Graham Scholarship for our youth and chaired that for several years. I was the first recipient of the Arnold Sorenson Award presented by SCLA. In the day when we still had the International Llama Association, you talk about some fun. The weekend was loaded with education, raffles, silent auctions one of which was an up and coming new stud. Guess who stood by that sheet of paper and ended up purchasing Schatner? Clue - it wasn’t me but the supporter of my habit, Malcolm. The conferences were held somewhere different every year Snowmass, CO, Vermont, Lexington, Kentucky, etc. Each year they presented the International PushmiPulyu award to I believe five people who had been nominated from all over the United States. This was a very cherished award because it was presented to people who had worked to promote and educate the public. They were few and far between and at
the Lexington conference I was presented with this award. I certainly am not bragging about receiving these awards but it proved to me that I was in some way accomplishing what I was working so hard to achieve. 25

I believe that it was during this time that I superintended both the Dallas State Fair and the Fort Worth Show at the same time. The Stock Show at Ft. Worth had decided to do away with the llama show because there were only 25 llamas there the year before. I set up an appointment with the powers to be and literally groveled. I told them that I believed that if they would let an association sponsor the show it would be much better than if an individual it would be more successful. Basically I signed my life away and had to make them so many promises but they finally relented and said we’d try it. Now keep in mind, although I had been showing everywhere that I could, I had never run a show before these two. Talk about flying by the seat of your pants! But I pulled it off and 17 years as the superintendent and 15 years as the sale co-ordinator (also unknown to me) ensued. I tried to attend all of the shows, sales and conferences that I could so that I could personally invite people and pump up the facilities. I wrote hand written letters to the larger
breeders across the US. I guess it worked because Ft. Worth became the largest llama only show until the Grand National was put into effect. One particular year we had over 500 llamas under roof and 36 states represented. I was turning down over 100 consignments for several years in a row. Those were the good old llama selling days. I was also superentending other shows as well, a couple of which were in OK and well as two years as superintendent of the Rocky Mountain Regional. With co-chair, Monte Houseman, we actually turned one of the shows, The Southern Shootout, into the very first Central Regional Show. I was superintendent of that one for several years. 26

Going back to the inception of the Grand Nationals, I served as one of a committee of four that actually planned and formed the first National show. I served on that committee for several years and served on the ALSA Board of Directors for two separate terms. One of the best honors yet is receiving the President’s Award at this year’s National. As it is voted on and chosen by the BOD, I at least feel like I’m still hanging in there. Oh yeah, taking 4 llamas and having all 4 place in the Top Ten (3rd - 5th), winning 3rd and 6th in fiber, and Renegade’s kids winning Reserve Champion Get-Of-Sire was pretty darn exciting too! It was my first big trophy in all of these years. From day one I have based my breeding program on not only the bloodlines, conformation but also that all important disposition. When you love the big ones as I do, they have to be sweet. I guess the numerous Grands and Reserves prove that the breeding program is doing alright. Having the studs that I have used as a foundation for breeding I must say that Muchisimo, a couple of his sons, Wokini, Ripcurl and Renegade among others, the boys have done their jobs and continue to do so. Over the years I have sold (really I have!) some of my very best “home grown babies” at numerous sales and off of the ranch. But listen up Brothers and Sisters! I need to and will be selling a large majority of my herd - not without many tears and regrets - but there is something I’ve heard about called getting older. I’m there and with this many llamas I don’t feel that each one is getting enough kisses and hands on loving that they are so used to. I would much prefer my excellent stud prospects be doing what they were meant to do and would love to do if given the opportunity to do. They would all bring the show factor, genetics, and quality to someone’s herd. Don’t get me wrong, they are enjoying the heck out of eating all of the good grass in the pasture and tussling with each other, but we all know that men will be men, in all of the animal and human species. Then there are my show winners and the girls that produce my winners. It seems like such a shame to not be sharing all they have to offer and letting them fulfill their potential. I will be selling them at extremely reasonable prices. No that’s not quite true - it will be below those reasonable prices if they are going to good, lovey homes.
I once said years ago that it would have been easier to give my two legged teenage son away than let go of any of my four legged babies. Fortunately those teenage years are over and even though Jason and I are great buds now, I don’t believe for a second that it will be easy. Every single one of the 150 or so have their own stories to tell and hold a special place in my heart. (Unfortunately most of their stories might be telling on their Mom and how many crazy things they have seen her do. I will continue to show if someone has to lead me around the arena and hold me up - that’s my thing - so you won’t be getting rid of me for a long time.
Please don’t forget to love each other, appreciate the beautiful llamas that have been entrusted to and treat them with dignity and let’s get this FUN and friendship back on the right foot. I believe that this is turning around somewhat thanks to the superintendents that continue to be creative and have the enthusiasm to pass on to our exhibitors. Once again I will be the Superintendent of the 2011 Grand Nationals. We will be having Reprinted a 50’s theme,from sothe stock SCLA Humming up on the Brylcream 2010 (do Herald theySpring even still make that stuff?!), grab your poodle skirts and bobby sox and let’s get ready to rock and roll. I would love to see all of you there -in fact, I’m counting on it!!
Thanks for all you have done for the llama industery and for all your support of the South Central Llama Association.
Thank You 27

The "Hero Awards" were established to annually honor people, animals, businesses and/or organizations that have gone above and beyond to demonstrate the strength of the human-animal bond. Both Bella and Michael Carlson, who designed her prosthetic leg, received an award. Bella was honored for her service in supporting amputee groups and for her work with 4H youth. Trish led her up the stairs and onto the stage to the resounding applause of the attendees. Here she is receiving her award, and being photographed after the presentation with Trish and Michael Carlson, who designed and made her prosthetic leg....
Bella is resting well after media event and public appearance...
