Here's why:
* Castration in llamas is not as common as in other livestock. Llamas are primarily used for fiber production (wool) and sometimes as pack animals. Castration is usually done to prevent aggressive behavior or unwanted breeding.
* Terminology varies. Some people might simply refer to a castrated llama as a "gelding," which is a general term for a castrated male animal. Others might use more specific terms like "wether" or "steer," but those are typically used for sheep and cattle, respectively.
So, if you encounter a castrated llama, it's best to ask the owner what they call it!
