Seems like when it comes to exotics (if these things qualify), there is only money to be made during a boom. A boom being, a time frame when everybody and thier dog wants one. And those time frames are pretty short lived. And the money to be made is not buying during the boom. The real money to be made is having something like this before a boom, and reproducing and selling during that boom. If you wait till there is a boom, and then buy in to get in on the action, you'll be one of the suckers buying in at the high, and miss out on most of the boom to capitalize, because these types of booms are so short lived.
This has happened to alot of stuff in the past. Pot bellied pigs, miniature horses, the list goes on. Seems like a boom comes about, they are the thing to have for a short while, and then after the boom, you can't give them away.

I think of it in terms of, a lot like raising dogs (selling pups). You get into the right breed, at the right time, and be lucky enough to hit a boom, you can make a lot of money. But if no boom for the breeds you have, your just raising dogs.

Some people in town have some miniature cattle. Well, ... I call them miniature. Not sure they qualify. They look full grown but are only about half size. Not sure who those people are, or where they bought em at. They got em in a pen about as big as a city block on the edge of town. Some guy used to put a couple full sized horses or cows in there, but this year these miniatures showed up.

My 2 cents.
P.S. I got full sized beef cattle, and don't plan on venturing into the miniatures.
