💥HAVE YOU BOOKED YOUR SHEARING?💥

Don't leave it until late, otherwise, you might not be able to book a shearer. Follow our tips:
✅Alpacas need to be shorn annually.
✅Shearing is usually done in spring or early summer so that the alpacas have grown enough fleece back before the weather cools again and so they have their fleece removed before the weather gets too hot.
✅Alpaca shearing is a specialist skill - use only experienced alpaca shearers to perform this task
✅Talk to an experienced breeder in your area to find out when alpacas are typically shorn in your locality.
✅ Local breeders may also be able to advise you on alpaca shearers that are in or visit your area. When breeders only have a small number of alpacas, it may be beneficial to liaise with other breeders locally to organise shearing simultaneously in order to secure the shearer’s services.
HOW TO LOCATE ALPACA SHEARERS:
▶️ We have a directory of alpaca shearers in Australia. Some travel around the state or various states. Others shear in certain areas only: https://alpaca.asn.au/alpaca-shearer-business-directory/
▶️ Speak to alpaca owners and breeders around your area to find out who they use
When contacting a shearer, leave enough information so they can understand your requirements. Let them know:
▶️ Your name, location, and contact details
▶️ How many alpacas you have
▶️ If you have power nearby your shearing area and shelter
Shearers are very busy people. They travel long distances, shear multiple animals per day, and usually only check their messages at the end of the day. It may take a day or sometimes a few days for them to get back to you.

It is getting close to that time of year again. Shearing is just around the corner. Make sure you book your shearing in before it is to late.

Unfortunately this year we are unable to do pick up and drop offs. If you wish to transport your Alpacas to our farm to join our shearing day you are most welcome. PM us.

Alternative below is Micks shearing schedule. Contact Mick to book him.

Has been a hard week on farm. We lost our beautiful wether after a long battle with a leg infection. Donny was our 2nd cria born in 2014 and has been our guard for the girls along with our Llama Drama Giai. Donny was special as he was born on Ken’s birthday and the day I scattered my dads ashes with his family. Driving home from NSW I checked the camera and there was this black thing in the paddock I called the neighbours and they confirmed we had a little cria. My Aunty called him Donny after Dad and I. Donny will be truly missed by us all. 😢
