Do you butcher any of your goats?

Prisca, could you share the cheesy bbq biscuit recipe? It sounds delish!

We also put alpaca in the freezer at the same time and have to admit that we like alpaca much more than goat.

I didn't know you could eat an alpaca! That must've been very expensive meat since alpacas cost over $3,000!

I keep hearing this from people but see alpacas advertised on craigslist often for a couple hundred dollars? I don't understand.

Many llamas here are cheap--usually no more than $500. Alpacas around here are expensive: if you look on breeder's Web sites, the average price is $3000-$5000 depending on their sex.

It really depends on where you live. There have been several Craigslist ads in my area for free alpacas. Ohio has the largest number of alpacas and alpaca breeders so that is why alpaca males are cheaper.

I seriously considered butchering a llama earlier this year. It was on craigslist for free because it was attacking people and they didn't care what you did with the carcass but it was not allowed to leave the farm alive and the woman couldn't put it down herself and I think there were issues with the vet saying "oh hells no" when he came out. It had tried to actually kill two people. I think they were thinking dog food but I kind of wanted it for people food. I was not first in line though or I'd have a cool llama butchering story to insert here.
