FUN AFTER SHEARING

Although shearing is rather traumatic for the alpacas, with an experienced shearer it is all over in about 5 minutes.  The human owner watches assuring herself that it is for the good of the animal (and for the owner once the fine fleece is bagged).  However today the proof was in watching the boys out in the paddock lazing away in the sun sucking up the Vitamin D and then finishing off with a good roll in the dirt.

 

 

The roll shown below was demonstrated by Camilo - the undisputed 'top' alpaca in alpaca pecking order.  See finally the 'before shearing' image and then the 'after' shot.
