Spent the afternoon at a benefit for a friends son that survived meningitis, but ran up some real large Dr. and hospital bills.
So as is the custom on a small close knit community.......friends and family threw this event to help out.
People donate all sorts of stuff....from food to guns and everything inbetween...
Bucket raffle silent auction, gun and beef/pork raffles....and a live auction.
Kinda like our Duck Unlimited events....except the proceeds go to the family.
One item donated for the live auction was a pair of Llanas. a momma and son....both neutered.
Anyone raise them????
Granted, this is a farm area...most everyone there was involved in or owned a farm.
These were advertized as guard animals for herds or most anything you have.....milk cows, beef sheep, goats....
DW says ...NO ....you are NOT bidding on the Llamas....LOL
They went for $100 buck for the pair....
Kinda of surprised me......but from what ii understand...these were sold as a kinda a pyramide business...so you end up animals that have no home or much value...
Still need fences shelter and food/water....
I just found this kinda sad.
Found a site that lists cost and market values......
