     Barb and Tom have enjoyed raising llamas for the past 20 years! Showing horses was Barb's passion as a youngster growing up in rural Michigan . Her focus and competitive enthusiasm, over the past several years, has been directed toward the llama industry. She is the primary leader for 2 llama/alpaca 4-H county projects. Her 'other life' takes her on the road as an independent representative for 4 electronics and sheet metal manufacturers.

     Tom recently retired from 20+ years in management at Harley-Davidson in Milwaukee . He is a hands on partner in the llama business and is presently enjoying his spare time riding his motorcycle, fishing and pursuing his interest in gun collecting.

     Both Barb and Tom have served the industry over the years by sitting on local and national llama organization Boards. Presently both are serving on committees within these organizations.

    They have focused their breeding program toward the elegant suri style llamas and have proven their match making skills with several LFA, Celebrity and ALSA National Champions over the years. Correct conformation always comes first. The fiber, style and stretch of the animals seem to naturally follow. All of their young llamas head into the 4-H program where they are handled daily. The llamas get equal attention and training so when their year is completed in the show ring the llamas are totally desensitized and accustomed to a variety of situations, surroundings and handlers.

     Barb and Tom take pride in the llamas they offer for sale as being well mannered and easily handled.

     Animal Acres has established a very diverse base of strong as well as unique pedigree's in their breeding females. We feel the Dam lines are equally as important as the Males, maybe even more so. We feel this foundation of females is what has kept us at the top in the show ring.
