ME LLAMA FARM

Welcome to ME Llama Farm. The farm is owned and operated by Margret and Edward Bender. We are located in Eastern Connecticut in the rural town of Lebanon.

We have owned llamas since 1990 and have been showing them since 1995. Some of the activities that we do with our llamas are cart driving, packing/hiking and just having fun.

Margret spins llama fiber as well as knits and crochets. We have hand knit and crochet garments, skeins of yarn and raw fleece for sale. You can see these at the Garments for Sale and the Fiber for sale links. I haven’t added the raw fleece to the website. Please feel free to call or email for availability. We also have llamas for sale. You can check our Llama Sale page to see what llamas are currently available.

Our farm’s breeding objectives are listed below:

· Overall soundness (correct conformation, general good health and reproductive fitness

· Disposition (easy to handle and trainable)

· Wool (quality and quantity)

We always welcome visitors. We currently have 52 llamas with more due during the year. Twister had many beautiful babies and he is sorely missed. His offspring are an integral part of our herd. WLK Katalyst has done a great job for us. His offspring are doing well in the show ring and all have beautiful fiber and gentle dispositions. Katalyst is coming back this summer and we are looking forward to welcoming him back home. Total Fascination has also been doing a great job for us. His offspring are placing well in the show ring. They all have excellent conformation, disposition, fiber and beautiful ears! Our first cria from Lamborghini a re here. They are very strong, correct, nicely dispositioned, beautiful cria. All have the “look at me” stances. We have recently purchased The Nomad and HOLR Black Jack. We will begin using both of these boys late next spring as well as Hurricaine Noel (pictured below) All have excellent conformation, disposition and fiber.

Please stop back and check to see what’s new.

We would love to hear from you. Please feel free to email us at ebender@snet.net or phone at

A little reminder of spring as winter lingers on. These are some picture of the flowers that were in my garden last May.

Azalea. The color doesn’t show well on the computer, but it’s a bright, vibrant color that is almost blinding, it’s so bright

I’ve had several requests for pictures of our boy, Noel (named for Hurricane Noel that passed by Connecticut in November, 2007) He is out of M.R.S. Special Jewel and Nascan. Jewel is out of M.R.S. Satinique (whose daughter Bolivian Serena was one of the high selling females at the 2008 Celebrity Sale) and M.R.S. Special Blend who is a 1/2 brother to M.R.S. Easy Money and is related to Bolivian Taylor Made. Nascan is out of Naska (The mother to the famous Newevo) and Besakih who comes from Hinterland and is sire to many show champions.

Noel was born on 11/03/2007 during the remnants of Hurricane Noel. The pictures above were taken on 4/27/08. Though it is hard to see from the pictures, the fiber on his body is suri type. He has lock structure to the skin. In the picture taken after he was shorn, he has been brushed out for shearing.
