Would a kill buyer pay $1000 for a horse in NJ?

Probably not. At the Camelot feedlot horses are available online to give them one last chance to avoid a kill buyer. Go to their web site and look up available horses. If she sold it would say so on her photo. Kill horses ship out of there on Sundays in the evening. Kill buyers don't pay much at all. Google Camelot feed lot and the page will come up. Buyers can view the available horses and call in with a credit card to buy them and pay 20$ a day for board til Sunday. If it was a private sale she was not shipped to slaughter.
