Re: [AlpacaTalk] shearing table
Shearing tables are rather expensive, but they are great. The concept
is the same as stretching them out on the ground with the restraints,
it's just easier to get them on the table since the floor restraints
still require wrestling them to the ground! And that's often very hard
to do!
And yes, alpacas really do need to be shorn every year. If they're not
show animals or show fleeces, it is possible to do it yourself, even
with a pair of fiskars soft-touch scissors (the ones that are spring
loaded). Another idea is to save the shearing fee in a cookie jar, one
fee per month or maybe two per month or whatever... so that by the
spring/summer you'll have enough to pay the shearer. Just resist the
urge to "borrow" from the jar!
