Gus and Jean Hansen, who are also breeders of llamas in By CHERYL ARCHIBALD Raviiw Corripondnt BOUNTIFUL Candy woke Finding a veterinarian they felt good about was a difficulty in itself, but the Hansens have found one in Murray who they are educating. He has even attended the convention of the Bountiful, have taken their males on back packing trips. Weve purchased packs from other owners and at the up early, remembered what day it was, stood up, and stretched. She eyed Jackie, who was curled below her in deep slumber. Doesnt she know what day it is? Well, shes due to have her convention for llama owners, says Mrs. Hansen. Llamas dont stomp the trail down like horses and dont eat as much, or require high protein food. They are less temperamental, and they carry heavier loads than a horse can, said Mrs. Hansen. The animals came from Peru where they were domesticated for use as a beast of burden. baby any day now, and she needs her sleep, thought Candy. Candy kicked at Jackie anyway until Jackie lumbered to her feet, twigs and dirt clinging to her dark brown wool. Candys eyes reflected happy anticipation which jogged Jackies memory. The next hour seemed endless until they heard the clanging of the breakfast bucket. They ran to the Evans, their owners, to fill up for the day. They were harnessed, brushed, and soon they were parading down Orchard Drive studying .. International Llama Associa-- . tion to learn more about llamas. The Hansens have taken their llamas out to meet the public on a few occasions. Martin, one of their brown males, strutted in a Bountiful parade last year behind one of the high school bands. That is, until he got tired. Mrs. Hansen says, as he got to the judges stand, he laid down, rolled over, and wouldnt move. Hed had it. He wouldnt go on, so we took him to the horse trailer. As we were loading him up, a man came along and said, "You really ought to enter that llama in the parade. William Randolph Hearst brought the first llamas to the United States about 50 years ago. Since then laws prohibit their immigration, so all 3,500 llamas in the country today are offsprings of the originals. The Hansens are the largest breeders of llamas in Utah, owning 18 females, and three males. They acquired their first llamas because they moved to a five acre plot of land. The land that wasnt needed was planted with alfalfa which, suggested a friend of theirs, would be great for llamas. They contacted Dick Patterson in Sisters, Oregon, who owns 600 head. Soon they were owners of a male and a the crazy looking, dressed, animals which lined the street for the llamas to review. Tim and Melissa Evans of Bountiful have owned Candy and Jackie for a year, and Mrs. Eyans says that the two llamas have taken other excursions to meet the public. ; They have visited elementary schools where they saw boys and girls sitting in classrooms :to the delight of both the ' children and the llamas. Llamas are curious and like to go places, says Mrs. Evans. They like to sniff at people, but female, and their herd has grown from there. Twelve to 15 llamas have been born to the Hansens and nine more are due to give birth before October, according to Mrs. Hansen. Llamas normally give birth without assistance and Mrs. Hansen claims that the time for delivery is generally 10 in the morning. However, there have been some troubles with the llamas giving birth. Before the Hansens had found a veterinarian who was willing to learn all about the care and health of llamas, they had a female who went past the normal gestation period of 11 months, and went to 14 months. A vet performed a Caesarean section delivery, but they lost both the mother and the baby. : mot be touched. ;To each other, they are much the same way, except for one habit. When provoked to anger they spit at other llamas. Since their only other defense would be ;to run away, they have developed a sure aim. Males have two fighting teeth, or fangs, but those are usually removed by the people who own them. ; The Hansens have lost only two other baby llamas in birth. - ,The Evans bought their llamas to breed, sell, and to train to back pack. We bought them from a man who sells them for pack animals, says Mrs. Evans. The males are used to do the back packing. Llamas are easier to lead and Ceremony Set for Val Verda Arch .VAL VERDA A dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony commemorating the restoration of the historic Val Verda Arch will be held on July 23 at 10 a.m. : at the intersection of 3100 South and Orchard Drive in Val Ver-!dThe original arch was built 1917 as a gateway into the in ' unincorporated area there. ; The arch was damaged in 1959 ':w;hen a tractor backed into it . and was later rebuilt in 1961.
