Shearing is over! Jun 17, 2014

3/30/2016

 
Thanks to Marty Hoffman of Integrity Shearing, all our alpacas are sporting their summer haircuts! Alpacas are sheared once a year. Timing of that depends on the climate where they live. Here in Montana we shear at the end of May or early June, and even then we can have snow or cold days. If that happens after shearing we keep the alpacas inside until things warm up. We hate to see animals shiver! But we also know being too hot can be lethal for alpacas, so they have to get that long fleece off before the summer heats up.
