After a long and dreary winter it is exciting to see Spring finally arriving. It has been a tough winter on the herd but everyone seems to have pulled through, including me.
Now we begin to prepare for the shearing days to come. We are beginning to clean out the shearing areas and make sure we have all the needed supplies on hand. We have hired the guys of Bio-Secure Alpaca shearing to come back again this year. I am very appreciative of the fact that they bring a group of 4 to help handle the animals. Last year's crew did a fantastic job with both the alpacas and the llamas who only received barrel cuts. |
