    Shearing day on a Virginia farm. We sheared over 100 alpacas here in a day and a half. As you can see, the animals aren't harmed or mistreated throughout the whole process, and the actual shearing only takes about four minutes. After which, they are back out in the pasture munching on hay and rolling in the sun, happy to be rid of their big thick coat in time for summer!
    They are held down by the ropes but never pulled tight enough to hurt them, just to help them keep still so that they aren't accidentally cut. We also trim their toenails and do dental work if they need it, and the clients will often give injections to animals that need a vaccine booster. This is vitally important herd health work done efficiently and humanely!

    This is the best I've seen of alpaca shearing. Everything is well planned out to keep the animal as relaxed as possible and to help the shearing go smooth and fast. The wool collection is immediate and clean. Well done, everybody, and happy alpaca.

    Out in the middle of darkest Saskatchewan and inherited some alpacas needing haircuts. Got some kit but still just me and the wife to do the job, thank goodness for youtube and your video. I wish i could do this cleanly in 4 mins but we did get it done cleanly enough in 45 mins, beginners beware, and we will be better off next time now we know the score, couldn’t have done it without your video, so thank you very much.

    My only comment is that the owner informed the assistant that the alpaca was pregnant. At the same time the actual shearer couldn't hear that comment because he was sharpening his clipper blades. I did not notice the assistant pass the word onto the shearer. I could have missed it. Nor did the shearer seem at all rough with the alpaca, regardless.

    • @josiahmorris5799
      @josiahmorris5799 Před 2 lety +9

      I spoke to the alpaca. He said that while in the womb, he found the reverberations of the shearing tool to be exceedingly comforting. Very good to hear.

    Is all the fleece used or just the fleece from the body? This looks a kinder way of shearing, no alpacas struggling or kicking.

    • @adam_riley
      @adam_riley  Před 2 lety +3

      All the fleece can be used for various items. The best fleece is the stuff that comes off first, and that is usually what is spun into yarn. The lesser quality fleece can be spun into rug yarn or made into sheets of felt that you could then use for slippers or hats. Lots of options!

    Is it easy to cut into their skin or "nip" into the nipples with the clipper? I am a pet groomer and we have to be super careful around the nipples.

    • @adam_riley
      @adam_riley  Před 2 lety +2

      No the nipples are not a "danger zone". Sometimes the older and thinner animals will have big wrinkles across their belly and that is the most likely time to cut them, but an amateur shearer could cut them at any point. As you know from grooming, it's not as easy as it looks!
