We attended our first alpaca and sheep shearing Fri. It was great! We accidentally found this place a couple months ago. They only have a few animals. They just moved here in June from Wisconsin. We got to meet and met all the animals. And she told us when the shearing was and invited us to come back. So we did. They had guys come in to shear them. They sheared 4 alpacas and 10 sheep. My husband nor me had ever seen a shearing, so we were so happy for our son to see it. But my nephew and his wife came and brought their 2 kids too. It wasnt a big event but it was to us!! Do any of you raise sheep or alpacas?

Yep I have sheep and used to actually be a shearer. My best days were 426 lambs in a day and with grown sheep 340 in a day.
Bloody hard work though.
