Bre was the helper - at the time the clipper was almost as heavy as she was :)
As for alpaca crias - I meant they (Andis) would likely work just fine - on sheep it would be that they wouldn't work at all. The lanolin would be a big mess, it's bad enough with the big clippers.

We used to have wooly legged and faced sheep - and hubby used the shearmaster clippers on them all over. Now we have clean faced and legged sheep - it's so much nicer all the way around.
He and a friend used to do commercial flocks, but after his back surgery he stopped doing that. Just does our own sheep now.

Ask your husband how he did their faces and legs! Did he use a particular comb? We have so far used a 10-tooth and a 20 tooth.
