They’re browsers I think so you can bring less feed. As far as leading them, I’d be all over that, I walk in anyways and if I could bring a couple extra animals with 50 lbs of gear I would t have to carry much myself. My buddy
Loaded his malamute with a bunch of camping gear. Even 15 lbs less weight on the back is significant.

I’m just thinking out loud though. I’ve never used llamas and probably never will. Next time I’m going very far with a back pack I’m gonna hire a couple granolas to carry my extra gear
