Shearing Day 2014
Paul Smith & co shearing
Every year, shearing day rolls around. Our great shearers and their helpers arrive and then the organized chaos begins! We had 2 shearing stations going all the time. Several farms were participants in the shearing and in 2 days almost 200 alpacas and llamas were shorn!
I never get tired of seeing all that wonderful fleece come rolling off the alpacas.
Now, on to skirting the fleece and turning it into soft, luxurious yarn and rovings!

So much yummy fleece!
