The present study was performed with the finality to describe the production systems, the objectives and selection criteria and local strategies of genetic management applied by farmers in their llamas flocks in the region of Pasco. Three study groups were formed; group 1, was formed by individual breeders from Simon Bolivar, Santa Ana de Tusi, and Tinyahuarco districts; group 2, by individual breeders from Huayllay district; and, the group 3 conformed by community cooperatives of San Pedro de Racco, Sacrafamilia and Huayllay. Data were collected through 107 semi-structured surveys. It was found that the three study groups considered livestock as their main activity and manage their herds under an extensive system. The grazing system, in groups 1 and 2, is free and mixed; in group 3, complementary and rotational between llamas and sheep. The proportion of llama types in groups 1, 2 and 3, were, respectively: Chaqu 16.13%, 10.87% y 37.58%; K’ara 44.08%, 17.38% y 62.42%; and Intermediate 39.79%, 71.75% y 0.0%. The main breeding difficulties, in groups 1 and 2 were the lack of pastures and external parasitic diseases; while in group 3, they were limited number of reproducers of K'ara or Chaqu type with good conformation, to improve their herds. In the three groups, the objective of rearing was mainly for meat production. The criteria used in male and female selection, in groups 1 and 2, were height and conformation; while group 3 is considered as the K'ara type. The mating system, in groups 1 and 2, is carried out without control, not existing separation by gender and age, indicating, in some cases, the use of breeding males prolonged up to 15 years. Groups 1 and 3, have as strategy, the interchange and/or purchase of reproducers.
