    Why We Love LLamas
Welcome to Country View LlamasBREAKING NEWS: On 02/29/2012, Country View Llamas sold the remainder of their llama herd to Mike, Sarah and Katherine Zimmerman. The Zimmerman's are developing a new llama and alpaca farm and we are thrilled that they will be retaining our farm name. We are also excited to see all the llamas go to one farm. We feel very confident that Mike, Sarah and Katherine will take great care of the llamas.

Country View Llamas, Ghent, Kentucky, was established in September, 2003, by John and Marvel Maddy, with the desire to raise a FEW quality, lovable llamas. Our original stock was provided to us by Eagle Dancer Ridge Chilean Llamas, East Peoria, Illinois.

In mid 2003, we told friends and family that we are going to buy a few llamas. Of course, the question has been asked of us many times, "Why do you want llamas?" The answer is simple. Being around livestock for years, we have never found a more friendly, lovable, interesting creature than the llama. Each llama has it's own SPECIAL quality and personality. Oh by the way, our llamas DON'T spit at us!

Since the beginning, we have purchased llamas from Eagle Dancer Ridge Chilean Llamas in Illinois, Yellow Wood Llamas in Indiana, Walnut Hill Farm in Georgia, Pleasure Valley Llamas in Wisconsin, ME Llama Farm in Connecticut, Needmor Acres in Ohio, Pacific Llamas in Missouri, Moutain View Llamas in Virginia, and Rose Cottage Llamas in Indiana. All of these llama farms have helped us add quality and knowledge to our llama business. Our goal is to raise quality, lovable, show and breeding llamas. Pictured at the right is Sue-Z-Q, daughter of our Grand Champions, Zeus and Freedom.

Who would have ever guessed in 2003 that we would have taken this from a hobby to a business? In 2003, we were only going to have THREE llamas on our few acres. By January, 2007, we had grown to 10.5 acres, 4 barns, and 25 llamas. In January, 2007, John received the Honor of being elected President of the Kentucky Llama and Alpaca Association and re-elected in 2008 and 2010. We are actively showing our (non-human) KIDS at Llama Shows in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Llamas truly are contagious animals!
