Is your clipper missing a tooth? Glad you got them all done. Boy, those are some pretty unhappy looking alpacas They aren't going to let you get anywhere near them for the next 6 months!

They weren't just unhappy looking they looked downright mad.

Shearing was great today! We started at 10 and ended at 4. The animals are happy and I have so much fleece! I will do pics tommorow, I am one tired gal

Oh no I didn't do it lol, we had a lady come out. She was very nice!

I bet those fluffy animals are WAY more comfortable now. My boys are hanging in the barn whenever it is sunny out. Those blankets just gotta go!

It was most of a lifetime before I realized woodchucks and groundhogs were one and the same.
We don't have any here.

I'd be happy to send you a couple so you are not denied the opportunity to watch them run and have tunnels dug everywhere

Ah got busy these past few days! So shearing went great and I have so much fleece! Here are some pictures, we had a long but sucessful day. Everyone was pretty easy to set up except Sequoia. He put up a fight and knocked the shearer over three times. And dont get me started on Alcalde..he screamed his head off, if you're interested you can watch the video here

S'more was the first alpaca to be sheared, he did great

Poor Bear's shearing got put on hold for a few minutes because the clippers decided to be annoying.

Geno got a cute haircut!

I also got a few new ducks, at least two are girls, they are young so its hard to tell

Here are some pictures from today, they all look great with their haircuts! Both of my ewes also got praised by the shearer for their awesome fiber

My lovely Clover, she got was a mess during shearing :/ As you can see she got a lil cut.

My pretty girls! Seeing how they are in an awesome body condition makes me feel so happy!

And guess what happened yesterday? Ok I'll give you a hint..It involves Ras and something I've been saying I will do for over a year. Yup he is no longer a Ram, he is still in a funk but he has a significant improvement from yesterday. Im happy all went well, however he is much more shy now..Cannot say I blame him
