We had planned to sell Cayetano after we bought CTL Sulu who is his half brother through the sire. At weaning, Cayetano's legs were all over the place and we dismissed him as being a potential breeding prospect. Cayetano was sent out as a companion loaner for another young male that was the same age and we did not see him for over a year. We finally ended up getting him back in the Fall of 2012 and to our surprise his legs had straightened and he had matured into a very nice male. After seeing what is available in the packing community, we have decided to hold back anything with outcross lines and superior conformation. It is nearly impossible to find an outcross classic male with good conformation and some sort of packing history in their lines.

Cayetano's sire is a PLTA Master Packer. His Dam is an ILR Show Division multiple title winner and our premier classic female. Cayetano hails from Rocky Mountain Jester, Bett's Supaya, Sky Rocket and other great packing lines. Cayetano entered the showring in 2013 and racked up 8 undefeated Grands in four shows. He also attended his first PLTA Pack Trial and finished the Basic Level with flying colors (thank you Carolyn Mathews). In 2016 Niki completed two Advanced Levels with him too.

Since Cayetano is not breeding all the time, it seemed natural with his disposition that he could be doing therapy work. So Cayetano was evaluated in March 2014 (and every two years since) and passed his evaluation as a Complex Registered Therapy llama. In our opinion disposition is just as important as genetics and conformation! His temperament is not by accident, his half sister and brother by the same dam are also registered for therapy work. Cayetano has wonderful manners and a very sweet and easy going disposition. He is a dream on the trail too!

Cayetano's babies are pretty darn nice! All of his babies have his calm disposition, nice classic coat and strong structure.  Many are winning in halter, performance and coat-on fiber classes.  The big bonus is that they are so versatile they pack and do therapy work too, just like dad!

Naming is always hard here as we have to find one we like and that pertains somehow to the mountains and hiking. Cayetano is named after the 17th century Spanish explorer of Mount Baker's Sherman Crater "Cayetano Valdés." For More information click HERE.
