I just noticed we’ve never talked about Boomer so I’m going to talk about him now. Boomer is my favorite llama. He’s brown with white on his face. We got Him when he was three years old a couple days after the 2010 St. Croix county fair wich is coming up again this month July 20-24 2011. We boarded him when he was little so I got to work with alot. He went back to his old owners and then they moved to a place where they couldn’t take the llamas so I got him again, he wasn’t as well trained as when I left him but I worked with him a little and he’s still pretty good . With only a few weeks of practice I took him to the 2010 Minnosota State Fair (also coming up soon August 2011) and got fourth place in PR (PR is like an obstacle course I think PR stands for public relations), eighth in halter ( Halter is judging the llamas conformation their where twelve in his class and he did pretty good considering the a lot of the other llamas come from breeders and are mostly only in a non-breeder class because the farms need llamas for 4-H kids or becuse they have enough boys) we didn’t place in obstacle, and I didn’t show in showmanship (showmanship is judging how well the handler controls the llama )because each class cost money to enter in and my arm was hurting from holding it up so long. Boomer will be going to the St. Croix County Fair this year I’ve entered him in halter showmanship and obstacle. There are mostly babies in his class so I hope he does well some times the babies are so insecure they’ll follow there handler the only problem with that is they can push you out of an obstcle and you would get points knocked off.
