Llama/Alpaca
These unique mammals hail from South American, where they were domesticated centuries before being brought to North America. In the Llama/Alpaca project, provide complete care for a llama or alpaca for at least 90 days. Among other topics, learn about equipment safety, raising and training llamas, and their different uses in recreation.
In a Non-Animal Llama/Alpaca project, you can benefit from many aspects of an animal project without actually owning the animal.
Project Requirements
Some counties may have additional requirements. Contact your 4-H leader or county extension office to learn more.
