Upsets me? Sorry, I don't think I said I was upset.
Sorry it upsets you so much but it is all about management of your herd.Suri's get cold in the winter here and I worry more about the suri's that have been shorn a couple times and the lack of fleece to keep them warm for the winter.

I understand the "show expectation" , however, I think it's ridiculous and really a very bad thing. I cannot understand why the show division supports this practice.

cool.Been doing it this way for 11 yrs never had heat stress with any of my Pacas. I would never do that with a huacaya.I believe she will end up getting a full cut.My alpacas have shade,water, fans,and soaker hoses to lay on in the heat of the day.I am a full time rancher so I am always here to monitor my animals during the hot times and the very cold times.My trailer has A/C so travel to shows is not an issue either.Tina Travis

It's my opinion that all alpacas, suri or huacaya, should have full body shearing done each and every year.

I have both Huacaya and Suri alpacas have been in the business lots of years---this year one of my most promising show Suri girls ended up with a belly shear gone way wrong!! I am not sure if I should now have her completely shorn or leave it and see if it grows out to correct it's self by fall,or cut on the perfect side to even it out with messy side?? Anyone know what might work out best.My worst fear is shear her completely but I thought someone might have some good advice?Thanks, TTina Travis
