Some shearing pics

We had our shearing today. It rained all morning, and true to form the sun didn't come out until we were just about finished. It went well, all things considered. Some of the alpacas were extremely uncooperative about walking from the barn to the garage where we had set up shop. It's a distance of about 250 feet, and a couple of them took over 20 minutes to travel from A to B. But it's done. I didn't get a lot of pics, but I've got a few representative ones here, mostly of little Suki. Whose fleece is like silk! None of us could get over how extraordinary it is.

she'll be sheared.

She's on the shearing table. Janice covers her eyes to help calm her
while Fred shears.

About 15 minutes later she's done and looking a bit confused by it all.

And just for good measure, Valentino and Satine after shearing, waiting
to be taken back to the barn.
