We have been shearing Alpaca for several years now.
We also shear Sheep, Llamas, Angora Goats & Small Children (ok. not really on the small children!).
Shearing costs are the same this year: $25 per animal. Need a show cut, blanket for a fleece show. No problems.
We can combine your shearing with annual Herd Health work: Teeth, toe nails, etc.
I am happy to provide you with references.

Will travel to New England, NY & Penn. Tell us you found us on AlpacaStreet!

 I started shearing in 2009, and have shorn over 100 alpacas and llamas. I enjoy shearing and can bring help, if needed. I usually use a mat on the floor and rope-restraints, but have used a table and can if you have one. I can also trim teeth and toenails or give injections. And don't hesitate to schedule as early as January or before, because my schedule fills fast. I can also provide references. Basically, I charge $22/head for 9 or more animals, and $25/head for 8 or less. Includes nails and teeth are $5/head. I charge $.35/mile for gas. Call or email for more detailed prices or to set up an appointment!

 Toll Free - 1-877-SHEAR 01 or the best way to reach me is on my cell at 804-450-2464.

Shearing services for the smaller farms of 2 - 15 alpacas. No farm is too small! We've been shearing our own herd of 20 alpacas for two years and I love it.

My goal is to specialize in taking the necessary time to shear your alpaca with the least amount of stress possible. All animals are given the "TLC" treatment. EXTRA TLC for pregnant moms and crias.

I've been blessed with a good eye and a steady hand. I shear using the standard method of stretching out the alpaca on mats. Stovepiping the legs is standard unless otherwise specified. As always, I will shear with utmost CARE and CONFIDENCE.

Over 20 years of previous experience show clippng and body clipping Arabian show horses. I've successfully transitioned and thoroughly enjoy shearing alpacas/llamas. I take great pride in my work and look forwarding to the opportunity to work with you and your herd.
