2015 Spring Means Shearing

Spring began with shearing and it was done at our place this year. We had the greatest group of young men from ShearingAlpaca.com.  Our team of was headed up by Ben and they did a wonderful job. It was so nice this year to have it done at our farm and not load them up and visit another farm. They were so much calmer and so relieved to have that heavy thick fiber off.
