Oak Grove Alpacas Shearing Day - April 27th

We were lucky to have beautiful weather for shearing day! It was about 75 degrees and dry. Dry weather is the best for shearing becaause the alpacas are cleaner and you don't have to worry about wet fleece going into plastic bags.

We sheared a total of 23 alpacas. Our team of shearing help consisted of 2 shearers, Dave and Katie, two helpers, Timothy and Trenton, my husband Victor and me. It took us about 6 and a half hours to shear our whole herd. 8 years of experience makes the job go smoothly.

Below are a few videos of the process:
