Default I got a llama - for the dogs

A friends 20 yr old llama died during the early morning. She called and asked if I wanted it for the dogs.

Tomorrow I plan to butcher it. Have never done anything this big before I figure it's just like a rabbit ... only bigger.

I also plan to save the hide and try tanning it. Never done that before either!

Its in the raw section.. it's exactly what I figured it would be lol. Awesome score.... gotta admit rather jealous over here, been trying to get some other protein sources. How awesome you have a friend that put it to good use instead of burying it or something.

Me three! I understand how it will be useful but I thought they were going to herd it and i would see apic of the gang w/ illama,not illama in packs stomach.. Probably not a humane use to give one illama to a group of dogs.ok if given to dogs probably butchering is the way to go. Now two or three live illamas would be something.

I forgot its in raw. Good hunting Lauri
