How long do llamas live
Llamas live 15–25 years. They are robust but need routine parasite control (they are worm-susceptible), foot trimming, and shearing in warm climates. The risks are isolation stress, obesity on rich pasture, and untreated dental/foot issues. A herd, good forage, and annual care span the decades.
Herd, pasture, and shelter
Keep at least two llamas — they are intensely social and decline alone. Plan ~1 acre (0.4 ha) per animal of decent pasture plus a dry, ventilated barn or three-sided shelter. Fencing 4–5 ft (1.2–1.5 m) woven wire or board; they respect boundaries. They are clean and use a communal "latrine" area, which simplifies manure management.
