Alpaca Shearing team at work The team gets the rig ready for shearing Two of the team attach the ropes to hold the alpaca safely while shearing Once the alpaca is calm, Ian Horner starts shearing its torso Half way through the shearing Once the alpaca's torso has been shorn, Ian Horner moves onto its head One of the handlers holds the alpaca's head still while Ian Horner shears its neck Shearer Ian Horner carefully and precisely shears the alpaca's head Checking the hooves while the alpaca is still restrained To minimise the alpaca's discomfort, we clip their hooves while they're restrained Shearing's over and the alpaca makes a quick exit!
