there was a dead llama on the side of I-26 yesterday afternoon. It had clearly been hit by a car, and was clearly a llama.

WTF? Are they indigenous, or is someone farming them?

I don't know about South Carolina BD but in my area of southern Oregon they place an adult llama with a flock of sheep as their guard. The llama can kick the shit out of coyotes and other predators when they harass the sheep. However cougars do take them out often........Sounds like an escapee that was not highway smart!

I always thought it would be funny to name a llama "Como Se"

someones farming them
llamas and alpacas live a block away from me and when the alpacas rut its sheer spectacle
sort of like pirates of the carribean when the guys used to chase the women (pc knocked that out years ago)
but the alpaca female screams this high pitched wail, she's not into it at all
would not be surprised if you saw a fleeing female alpaca

More accurately ranching them (yeah, I know I'm being ch!ckensh!t) and these folks would love to help you get started.: http://mandmllamas.com/index.html << There are some in SW Florida so they don't need cold temps or high altitudes. Good attitudes too, unlike, say, those spitting, biting camels--as was said, llamas bond with other non-predators and are protective towards the littler critters. I'll spare you the Wiki.

Lots of llamas, alpacas, and all kinds of other critters being farmed these days. Or ranched.

Pretty well all of them have been a pyramid scheme at some time or another. Ostriches, emus, bison, all sorts of exotic import cattle, worms, pigeons, rabbits,....and the list goes on. A good breeding pair of ostriches was worth $25,000 at one time. Then a bit later $250. Now that's a quick way to lose the farm.

Valuable Post. Turns the "farm" into Raunchy Ranch. Lotsa folks got burned on this, usually through "affinity schemes".: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_fraud Lesson: If you can't make money directly on what you are doing, don't do it. Don't count on down-stream revenue--you are are not a Wall Street firm or a major bank, and won't get bailed out--you'll take the fall. Average paybacks when all is said and done is 5 cents on the dollar for the typical victim.

Ahhh now i get it, Jazzie ! That was YOUR Alpaca farm I saw on the way out to the west coast on Alligator Alley. Sorry that you went belly up amigo! Ya gotta do your due diligence! Now we know why you talk so much about bankruptcy and not paying your bills :( Better luck next time! :D

More casual slander from the Master Blaster of Disaster. I used bankruptcy as so many do as a strategic default to give myself a fresh start. I did it, modified my behavior and am now sitting pretty. I appreciate the Brotherly concern from PhonicsResurgent but it's not necessary--turn your attention to those who could benefit from your sage advice. I have no idea who that might be--doubtless a slim population approaching zero as a limit.

This just in--it turns out to be common to have a llama to defend a goat herd: http://consumerist.com/2015/04/15/portl ... ping-work/
