Shearing Day Part 2

Shearing Day was a bit crazy. It started out with us taking all four alpacas in the horse trailer for the first time. Once we got there, the real fun began. It went a bit like this, repeated 30-40 some times:

First, you find a fluffy alpaca.

 

Second, you tie down fluffy alpaca.

Third, the hooves are trimmed.

Teeth are cut and trimmed, if needed.

The alpaca is shaved.

Fiber is collected. Notice, two alpacas are being sheared at once!

End product: smaller, naked alpaca! Oh, and lots of bags of fiber.
