Takoda Peak | Hi Trl The Duke
Takoda Peak
Kody is a mid-sized (44") package of muscle and energy with an excellent true Classic coat. His ancestry contains a wealth of trail-proven mid-sized packers — the kind that earned their right to breed based on excellent performance.
Kody's disposition is ideal for a working llama. He has self-control in the pasture and on lead, he's willing to trust when in strange environments, and he's not reactive, but rather considers everything thoroughly.
Kody participated in OSU-VTH's cardiac study and has no anomalies ... and he received very high praise for his demeanor during data collection.
Kody's genetic contribution has proven capable of improving females with reactive tendencies without losing the energy and vitality that we all appreciate on the trail, yet which are so often linked to high reactivity.
Kody is easy to handle in the breeding pen, and is available for full or part-season lease as long as the lease timeframe does not conflict with existing bookings and our own needs during a given season.
Download a copy of Kody's registration and pedigree HERE.
NOTE: We do not breed closer than a four-generation 3.125% COI on outside stud services because we cannot possibly have the appropriate level of intimate knowledge about the female's traits, attributes, and flaws.
If you have any questions about calculating the COI (coefficient of inbreeding) or want the specific COI for your female paired with Kody, we can do that for you at no charge.
Kody's 2027 base fee is $800 which includes 45 days board here at our farm; we offer a $250 discount for a second female from the same farm if the two females can happily share accommodations here.
Kody is also available at stud by private treaty.
Kody's book for 2027 is currently full. He is available for breeding lease before March 2027 or after July 2027 (exact dates to be determined)

Hi Trl The Duke
Duke is that llama we all want in our pack string — stays trim year-round, has efficient and athletic movement, and is thoroughly committed to keeping his head.
Duke possesses a mid-length near-Classic coat and represents multiple generations of nothing but the-real-deal-original classic and k'ara (ccara) gene pool — no little woollies, no imports, no alpaca.
Duke brings a balanced body and larger frame, level head, calm outlook, a high level of "try", and substantial bone to the table; with all these strengths, he can improve on many females without risk of losing good traits.
Duke's granddam was exceptionally long lived with correspondingly long reproductive soundness; his own mother is proving to be equally impressive in this regard. Because of this trait, Duke's offspring mature late and are not a good fit in programs that require or depend on fast growth and early work or sales.
Females on both sides of Duke's pedigree have excellent maternal traits.
Duke has been entered into NACA's Ccara registry.

NOTE: We do not breed closer than a four-generation 3.125% COI on outside stud services because we cannot possibly have the appropriate level of intimate knowledge about the female's traits, attributes, and flaws.
If you have any questions about calculating the COI (coefficient of inbreeding) or want the specific COI for your female paired with Duke, we can do that for you at no charge.
Duke is now jointly owned with Joyful Llama Ranch in West Linn, OR where Duke will be primarily residing for now. This means we can't accept outside females on short notice.
In the years that he stands on our farm, Duke's base fee is $1500 which includes 45 days board here at our farm; we offer a $250 discount for a second female from the same farm if the two females can happily share accommodations here.
Duke is also available at stud by private treaty.
Duke will not be at Lost Creek Llamas during the 2027 breeding season. We are projecting that we will bring him here for breeding in 2028.

"Private treaty" means the terms vary according to the situation — including but not limited to the number of females involved, whether we can (and want to) breed to a stud you own during the same time period, who is going to deal with the bother of the actual breedings, who is going to deal with transportation, and other variables.
We offer a private treaty option bcause in a world where true, working Classic llamas are scarce, genetic backgrounds often too similar within a geographical region, and distances between farms significant, every situation is so different that a set pricing structure is not practical.
For individual breedings, we may require right-of-first-refusal to any resulting offspring.
For season breeding leases, we may consider situations where we have the opportunity to add different and useful genetics to our own breeding herd, whether through a stud swap (mutual season breeding lease) or in trade for a individual llama we particularly like. (Warning — we are exceptionally picky due to limits on our time and space, and our breeding herd has progressed and evolved to the point that ALL of our breeding stock have Classic coats. We cannot consider stud swaps or trades for llamas that are most easily managed by shearing. This is not a rejection or negative judgement on anyone else's llamas or choices; it is strictly a reflection of the choices that we have made for ourselves.)
