When you say the industry is down - what exactly does that mean - people aren't buying llamas ?? Why would someone raise a llama .... I really AM interested but since I'm totally clueless as to what a llama breeder does - in between debates:p maybe you could fill me in ?? | Ok that is good.
It means people have over bred the llamas and they did not pay attention to quality and then they were overwhelmed and are selling them for next to nothing. Early on it was typical to sell a llama for between $40,000 & $100,000 each now it is more like $200 to $2,000 if your lucky. People are buying but its just not like it use to be.
Llamas are like Lays chips you can't just get one. We fell in love with them and well its all down hill from there.
We show and llamas are also pack and do obstacles. Come to the Houston Rodeo and you will see all they do.
I am the poster child for the llamas on the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo http://www.hlsr.com/ag/ls/hls_opnshow_lamalp.aspx |
