Phew! It was a big job this year with 6 more animals to do. We were a bit better organized this time with 12 people in all including Lukas the shearer.
The screamers screamed and the quiet ones were thankfully quiet. We got started at about noon, a bit later than expected and wrapped up at 5pm. Once again Lukas did an excellent job.
We got the fleeces skirted and sorted except for our prize winners. Those fleeces I will prepare separately to send to the fleece competition in Navan in August. Then off to the mill for processing into yarn.
The white fleeces will be sent to the Co-Op in Calgary for credits for alpaca products.
Today just some final barn clean-up and funny looking animals.
