Chuck and Sonja Leach are true professionals.
They have a wonderful farm and are truly in love with their
llamas. Sonja took the time to determine my needs and find the
best llamas for me. She has always been available to answer
my questions and is quick to offer advice and encouragement.
Her caring of both the llamas and new owners is evident. She
is an invaluable resource who is also committed to further education
of the llama community. I highly recommend Leasure Acre Llamas
and have had a wonderful experience working with both Chuck
and Sonja.

RE: PURCHASE VISIT, OCT. 19, 1999
Chuck & Sonja,
We had a great time. I was touched to have
Sonja call Sunday night. The trip home went fine, no problems,
We stopped several times and Grady and Sam jumped out to check
on the "girls". We ran into rain at the state line so when we
got home it was dark and rainin, but we got the girls settled
in the barn.
I got them halter broke on Monday. I had a hard time finding
a halter small enough for Patience. I had to adjust the smallest
one I had to the last holes! I used the famous "Mallon inntertube
method". It was actually neat to see them gradually succumb
and stop pulling back. At one point when I checked in on them
Patience was in a kush, just sort of "hanging out". Chastity
is a bit more feisty and stubborn. She would relax on the tube
until I came near then she would jump around and pull back.
After a few repetitions of that she finally decided to quit
that.
Later Monday afternoon, since it was a beautiful fall day we
took the "girls" for a little walk around the yard. They did
super, and in no time were walking along with us. Patience really
enjoyed nibbling on the grass in my lawn but Chastity was a
little too nervous to eat while on the lead.
My older three llamas were quite intrigued by the newcomers.
The pony, Holstein calf, dogs, puppies, ducks, and rabbits were
real surprises for the new girls too! They are eating fine and
seem to be quickly adjusting. Thank you for the bucket of pellets,
that was a good idea for helping to ease the transition.
I am "tickled pink" to have Chastity and Patience, and am very
appreciative of your letting them come to our farm. It was a
pleasure doing business with you, You are both wonderful! I'll
send photos and keep you up to speed on our progress.
Fondly,
Pattie B.
