Mankato's eye catching, flashy good looks, impeccable conformation, fluid movement and a willingness to work are topped by a 20.3 micron fleece which naturally resists dirt and debris. Bred by Graceful Legend Llamas, he has a packed half South American pedigree. He frequently tops his class in halter and performance and fleece judging. He is currently in training to add cart driving to the list. Mankato is definately a llama you can touch and wear. Mankato has got everything anyone could want in a male llama.

Flash and eye appeal
Wonderfully fine fiber which stays clean
Working ability
Great conformation
Lots of personality
A gentleman breeder
Consistently produces quality crias

Mankato loves to socialize when he is out at shows and public events and enjoys drinking fom cups and water bottles. Mankato's front legs are very straight and he places his front feet on the ground exactly as he should. Carpal valgus (knock knees) is very prevalent in llamas and good straight front legs can only be found in about 10-15% of the llamas in this country. Breeding your females to the right male can help eliminate this chronic problem from the llama gene pool. Take a look at Mankato and think of all the positive characteristics he could add to your herd!
