Donkey Prices Increase

Expect to pay more for your donkeys: High Fuel Prices Drive up Donkey Prices in Turkey.

The prices of donkeys in the Yozgat District in Central Turkey have increased sevenfold as many local people are giving up the use of tractors over the high fuel prices, and substitute them with the beasts of draught.

Because of the increased demand the price of one donkey grew from EUR 26 to about EUR 180, the Turkish newspaper Zaman reported.

180 Euro is about $280 dollars. Donkeys prices vary quite a bit in the U.S. See Donkeys For Sale.
