Yes, llamas are considered livestock. They are domesticated animals primarily raised for various purposes including as pack animals for carrying loads, wool production, guarding other livestock, companionship, and for breeding or showing.
Llamas are owned for several reasons: as pack animals to carry loads during trekking, for their soft wool used in textiles, to guard livestock such as sheep from predators, for companionship, and for breeding or showing in competitions.
The cost of buying a llama varies widely depending on factors like age, training, and quality. Prices typically start from several hundred pounds and can go up to a few thousand pounds for fully trained llamas from reputable UK breeders.
Yes, you can own a llama in the UK, but it requires responsible ownership. Llamas are herd animals and should not be kept alone. It is important to have companions, gain proper knowledge, and engage with organisations like the British Llama Society for guidance and to connect with reputable breeders.
