Laura has been kind enough to share her experience of sheering Alpaca's
- The animals at Red Barn Alpacas
- Early morning, before we got started
- Herding the alpacas into the barn
- In a holding pattern
- The animals are roped in
- The alpacas are shorn systematically: blanket first
- Starting on the blanket: back & shoulders
- Blanket coming off
- Blanket fleece coming off
- After the blanket and neck are taken off, Jamie works on the legs while Matt holds the head by the ears
- You can also watch the video:
