[AlpacaTalk] Please

 

People please do not abandon alpacas or any animal for that matter.I would take animals in,I can not afford to buy them.I can care for them because we have large pastures.I have been in the industry for 11 yrs this Fall and I have just ajusted my prices right along with the economy.I have been lucky to sell animals even now.We have a state park close to us and when the crash took place people were going into the park with full trailers and turning the horses loose.Needless to say they had to beef up security and tag each trailer with a count.So that stopped it.I do not think they have caught all of them yet.It saddens me that the animals suffer.If anyone out there is in such desperate need of help call the other Alpaca Farms see if they will take them in.I would help if there is anyone in or around Missouri that has to part with some animals.Always,T

Re: [AlpacaTalk] MoRe: AOBA auction results

 



Don:

 

I couldn't agree more. I think some may be regional, too. In this part of the world, the economy is super sucky. In my county - and surrounding - it's not good --- and it's very rural, though only an hour from 3 decent sized cities. Businesses have closed all over the place and there isn't much money flowing for anything.  So, an animal is worth what you can get. The other thing is that when you read the market groups, people are needing to get out of the business for financial reasons. As one friend said, comes a time when you don't worry so much about recouping what you've put in, but just simply cutting your losses. Yes, the fire sales aren't helping, but we need to realize that many people are desperate to sell....and from what I understand, alpacas are being abandoned out of sheer desperation.....people are finding themselves in situations they never thought they'd be in.....

(re quote from Pia's email below: )   No animal is worth any more than what it will sell for an auction where willing buyers meet willing sellers.  Get used to the new valuation of alpacas.  Just because you might find someone willing to pay more in a private sale doesn't mean the animal is objectively worth that private sale price.  The market varies and values may be higher tomorrow than they are today – or they may go lower yet.

Hi Heather, yes, I was looking at the results you posted in your previous message and I thought they didn't sound right.  I was at Nationals this year and animals were *not* selling for those numbers, no sirree... more like $4,000 - $5,000, at least the first few... and I got disgusted and left the room.  Sigh....  Great.  Now how to sell an animal worth 4 times that with the way that these "fire sale" auctions are ruining the market... :-(   Pia Best regards,   Pia M.
