Llama business boosts Stratford area couple’s income
Floyd and Pat Zopfi of Marathon County raise llamas since 1977 and now run a llama limousine gift service for weddings. They exhibit at shows and parades, sell animals from $1,000 to $50,000 with top females at $50,000, and note wool adds value. They keep about 20 llamas, train them for multiple hitch formats, and find llamas a fun, profitable investment despite high effort.
