SPRING CONFERENCE: Saturday, May 8th, S & H Llama Farm, Sherman, IL (more information to come)
The Illinois
Lama Association (ILLA) invites you to join us and enjoy the beauty of
these majestic creatures. In visiting this site we hope you will
discover and learn about lamas.
The Illinois Lama Association
(ILLA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promote the joy of
owning lamas.
The purpose of the association is to educate members and
the public about lamas and alpacas; to promote the industry as a whole;
and to encourage and support events to expand the awareness and market
potential.
It was organized in 1989 making it one of the older
llama organizations in the United
States.
The ILLA supports camelid health research through financial contributions to institutions and groups such as the Morris Animal Foundation, the University of Illinois veterinary school and the International Camelid Institute.
We invite you to browse this website to learn more about these intelligent animals with a variety of uses. You will also find coming events and please stop by the photo gallery.
Did we make a mistake in our name by using only a
single "L" in the word lama? No, the single lama is the genus (Latin
for descent, family or type) for the four cousins of the lama family -
llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña. All of which are part of the
camelid family.
