Shearing

Today we photographed 21 alpacas prior to shearing.  18 alpacas were completely sheared and 3 were just belly sheared. This will allow those 3 to be shown as yearnings unshorn.

This is what occurs on a farm with registered animals that exist and are bred to further a breed...suri alpacas.

I am so fortune to be a part of such a wonderful farm.

  1. I'm so glad you're happy with the farm, Meredith. How healing. I've never dealt with alpacas, although there are quite a few around here.

    Congrats on your show ribbons. Looks really fun!

    I'm awaiting new mama duck Mocha's hatch. She's been sitting on a clutch of eggs under a brush pile for a month now. Should be any day! At least the ducklings won't be confused like last year's, who had a chicken mama.

    Take care,

    Duckmama

  2. Send me a picture when they hatch!

    The couple that own the farm are WONDERFUL people. Absolutely wonderful. They care for their family, friends, and animals. They moved here from GA and their friends from GA came up to help!

    Alpacas are interesting animals. I'm learning a lot.
