Hi. We are the Benson's - Mike, Robin, Courtnee, and Connor. Sapaveco Ranches is located in Florence, TX just north of Austin with a second location in Rocksprings, TX. Florence is our primary location. The Rocksprings location is used for family and friend recreation since we love the outdoors. There are many free ranging exotic and native animals.
Robin and Courtnee run the llama operation together as a mother and daughter team. We strive to breed for only the best bloodlines, conformation, and disposition.
We moved from big city life in Austin to small town life in 2006. We started our venture by buying five llamas and instantly fell in love with them. Our herd has grown quite a bit over the past few years to near 30 llamas. We have a mixture of light, medium, heavy, and suri wool animals from Peruvian, Chilean, and North American bloodlines.
While living in Austin for twenty years Robin ran her own pet sitting business taking care of any kind of animal from ferrets to cattle. When we moved to Florence it was impossible to travel an hour a day to care for animals. Many good friends were made over the years through the pet sitting and it was hard to give up the business.
Courtnee is attending college at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor in Belton, TX while living at home. This allows her to have hands on with the animals every day while still working towards her Biology degree and Spanish minor.
Mike and Connor give a lot of support. They both try to attend as many shows as possible. Their help is greatly appreciated.
We attend many area shows as well as Central Regionals and Grand Nationals. Next time you’re at a show, look for our stalls. We would love to meet you. any time you are in the area. Don't hesitate to call or e-mail with any questions. We look forward to hearing from you. |
