How we shear alpacas
Shearing day tends to be a stressful day at the farm. But it doesn't have to be. It is our goal to make your day easier. Shearing is that one big day in your year, but for us, it is every day.
Jeffrey usually works alongside three crew members. Together, they work a "four-man crew" operation – taking care of all the handling of the alpacas. Two members of the crew have the specific job of handling the alpacas and securing them safely to our restraint ropes. This way, we can still operate in a timely fashion while giving the animals all of the care and respect they deserve.
We gently lay the animals on our specialized, padded shearing mats and carefully restrain them for their safety during their shearing.
​
Each alpaca will only be restrained for an average of 5-10 minutes. Once the shearing process is complete, they will be cleaned and carefully let back up.
Bio-security – We disinfect and wash equipment between farms.
