RE: [AlpacaTalk] Shearing cria

 

            Also, you might want to do it by hand or use dog clippers……..their skin is so easy to cut!  We used dog clippers on our little one and I got the idea from another farm when we did theirs.  It is soft and fluffy, too!

Depends how hot it is where you are.  In Southern CA I don't know anyone who doesn't shear their crias, it is just too hot here.  Cria fleece is fluffier and warmer than adult fleece, so I would take it all off.  By the time they are old enough to show, it is growing back anyway.
