WELCOME TO THE JOYFUL LLAMA RANCH!
Home of Joyce O'Halloran & Jeff Polk and the Spring Creek Sproingers Llama 4-H Club
We raise and train classic llamas for packing. We have some fiber llamas too!
(And then there are the fiber llamas who also pack!)

llama 4-H club
Our llamas are trained by
members of the Spring Creek Sproingers 4-H Club.
We are located just south of Portland, Oregon,
at 21490 S. Grapevine Road, West Linn.
Call 503-557-0444 to make an appointment
to come play with our llamas,
or drop me an email at joyce@joyfullamaranch.com
Three crias were born in June & July (all sold)--you are welcome to play with our new arrivals!
You've seen llamas advertised in the newspaper
for less than $100--why pay more? Our prices reflect
the training and strength that a llama requires to
perform on the trail. Any llama breeder will tell you
(accurately) that their llamas "pack", but how much weight
can they carry and how long can they carry it? Our llamas
have the added bonus
of the friendliness that comes from interacting with
children.
We are a small farm and we have been selling out quickly (some before birth),
so keep in close touch if you're interested in a serious pack llama!
We are now breeding specifically for pack characteristics: calm & gentle, positive packing attitude,
tall, strong, classic ("ccara") coat (guard hair covering soft undercoat). We have Magma and Black Thunder
bloodlines.
Our latest arrivals:
Gloria was born June 5, 2007
