Wool production is another common use of the llama, but the market for llama wool in the U.S. is not significant with so many other synthetic fibers on the market.
Another popular use of llamas is to guard herds of sheep. Llamas are very territorial and have been proven to reduce coyote and wild dog predation on sheep herds. The success rate of reducing coyote predation was noted. It dropped from 11% loss to a 1% or less loss after introducing a llama to the flock as a guard animal.
