DO ALPACAS NEED SHEARED?

DO ALPACAS NEED SHEARED?

Huacaya alpacas need to be sheared annually to ensure no heat stress during summer, suri alpacas are sometimes sheared every other year. We run a shearing day in early Summer where everyone is welcome to come to us to get their animals sheared. This is usually more cost effective as the shearers have a minimum cost per venue. For a small fee we can also organise annual vaccinations, worming, vitamins, toenail trimming and teeth checks etc. Our shearing days in 2023 will be 6th and 7th April – volunteers welcome! Please contact us if you would like to join in on these days.
