Shearing

We shear llamas and alpacas. We are only able to shear for farms that have a handful of animals, not large farms. We mostly schedule on weekends, but sometimes have availability week days or evenings.
Pricing
​Shearing: $50 per animal. Each animal will be sprayed with fly spray after shearing.
Travel: $0.70 per mile, roundtrip from our farm.
​Vaccines: $5 per animal. CD&T and your choice of either Dectomax or Ivermectin. Sheep and goats only get CD&T.
Toenail trims: $10 per animal. Can also trim goat hooves.
Shearing Day
  • Pen up your animals before I get there. Put on halters and tie up if you are able. The main thing is to have them contained!
  • Make sure they are dry, even damp animals are harder to shear
    • Please let me know ahead of time if they are too wet, we can reschedule!
    • If I arrive and we can’t shear, the travel fee still applies. Please communicate!
  • I will need a place to plug in an extension cord for the clippers
  • If you want to keep the fiber, have bags or buckets ready and be ready to help collect it from the animal as I shear them
