Ouray has matured at 44.75" and continues to be energetic when circumstances permit, yet able to both contain that exuberance when appropriate AND discern when "appropriate" is ... including when females say "not today, bud". Ouray is one really level-headed guy!
Along with many other outstanding physical attributes inherited from top-tier grandsires Ranger Dusty and Gold'n Hawk, Ouray has the "power butt" muscling that we value so highly for exceptional performance in the backcountry. Ouray has arrow-straight movement and stance. His Classic coat combs out very well (and he stands like a champ for deep grooming). His gaits are excellent for packing and near-perfect for driving in harness. There's very little to improve here!
Between his excellent attributes AND his true outcross genetics (little to no representation in the current pack llama gene pool), Ouray has cleared a very high bar to become our primary stud.
"Ouray" is a native (Ute) word meaning "arrow", best known as the name of a chief who continually sought peace with the whites. There's also a town named Ouray in Colorado, but the pronunciation is different (OO-ray for our guy and the Native American; YOO-ray for the town). Our Ouray is straight as an arrow, and he's definitely a peaceable sort.
