It'll be an early start this coming Monday for shearing, & lasting only a couple hrs. This annual event is a necessity for the health of the alpacas and is recommended to be done prior to warmer months. Heat stress is very unhealthy for these camelids.
They provide a sustainable product that is eco-friendly and very desirable in the textile industry. The United Nations has even declared 2024 the Year of the Camelid for their sustainability!
