A big day for us today. Alpaca shearing day. This is Johnny on the table. He was the last one for the day, and almost as soon as we'd finished the heavens opened. He complains about his hair cut every year, but they must be so relieved once the fleece has gone
@dide Depends who it is Dianne. This one, spits and squeals like he's being tortured, but I have two who just lie quietly, and almost breath a sigh of relief at being freed of their fleece. This is the first year in 9 years that I haven't had to wash spit out of my hair. You can actually see the green froth around his mouth. My job is to hold the head down while the body is being shorn. This is the only opportunity I get to take photos, while Keenan is doing their heads
