TRUE FRIENDS LLAMAS
True Friends Llamas are 6, what fun and sometimes what work. But we love them. Betty still likes to show - so looking forward to 2021. Malachi, Christian, Nathan and Christina are all still involved. True Friends couldn't do it without all of us. Llamas are a hobby for us. But the truth is not one of us has practiced with any of them in 2020. Opportunity abounds with our hobby. Betty loves the fiber, the projects and the shows. We love and encourage you all to showcase your farm in 2021. I hope you enjoy your gang as much and I enjoy ours. I could tell you about fiber projects for sale, but they became 2020 Christmas presents! See you all at the shows.
