Maintaining your llama's coat is an important componant of caring for your llama.
Light wool animals
need the least amount of grooming and for this reason are a good choice for guardians. The short wool animals will molt
out their undercoat every two years. Given brush, trees, or fences they will "self groom" rubbing against
these things to remove the dead undercoat. For the most part these animals never really look bad.
Medium
and heavy wool animals need to be groomed and shorn every year. Their coats do not shed or molt out. They
mat and felt close to the skin.
