    The way you interact with those alpacas is intuitive. You strike me as a woman who not only knows what they're thinking, but _cares_ about what they're thinking, too. This is evident in the way they respond to you. They're extremely receptive to your affection. Instant sub.

    This is one of the most amazing things I've seen! I love the relationship and trust you've built with them, and the care you take. I am simply gob-smacked that you do it this way with those shears... beautiful beautiful! (FYI, arrived here because I was watching another alpaca shepherdess' videos...)

      Thank you so much Jillaine. It has been a long road and has taken me years to understand what to do. Alpacas are not the easiest of animals. They like to make it difficult - Bless them all!

      @alpacas-trainingatliberty1562  Před 3 lety +17

      Thank you very much. I keep the best fleeces for 2 to 3 years and I send them to a mill to have then processed into yarn. Unfortunately it is a very small quantity and it is hard to make anything out of it. Not economically viable. A great shame - such a beautiful product. A lot of it goes to waste, neck, belly, legs. Also when the animals start getting older, the quality of the fleece decreases. It could be used to make duvets etc but i don't have enough animals and mills are not interested in small quantities of lesser quality.

    While I do understand the need to restrain animals to get the shearing done quickly, I did feel bad for the sheep I first saw all stretched out. If you have the time for it, this looks like a better option.

      i used to in the past when i was tying them up. I want them to feel safe and enjoy the experience. The electric shears are noisy and fast. I am in no hurry. If she was bored or scared, she would leave as she did eventually. There is always another time. It does not have to be finished in one sitting.

    • @alpacas-trainingatliberty1562
      @alpacas-trainingatliberty1562  Před 2 lety

      Because it is an aboslute pleasure to shear by hands. It is for her as much as it is for myself. The slow movement of the shears and the intimacy that builds up between her and me is all what it is about. It is not about taking the fleece off her back. It is about the relationship and the trust that is created from being together in such a way. Alpacas are not naturally prone to touch each other, not even their babies, but when they experience a loving touch, they know to recognise it. Topaz is happy or she would not let me so close to her and interact in such a personable way if she was experiencing any discomfort or fear within herself. So the fact she sits still for me only comes from a place of peace and joy. Therefore the exercise is not about the time it takes but about enjoying the moment and making it last. I hope that makes sense.
