  1. CW: Minor wounds to alpaca from shearing

    #Ozzie stressed out during his #shearing & managed to get a couple of nicks from the clippers as he struggled with the #shearer.

    Chaser was fine though & came out of it with no wounds.

    Toenails on both were cut & Ozzie also received red antiseptic & stitches to the larger nick above his front right shoulder.

    The shearer also doses them while he’s here. (De-wormers & vaccines) #alpacas

  2. Here is Hawk's #fleece. 😍 This is my favorite fleece! It's EPIC! 🥰 It is like a lion's 🦁 mane.

    It's a huge fleece, very curly and crimpy, with a long staple, and next-to-skin soft. I just drool everytime I shear Hawk. I think his #wool is MARVELOUS. I could keep taking more and more pics of it; I'm literally obsessed. 😄

    We are done #shearing, but I have three more fleeces to skirt. To be continued...

  3. Clove and Warbler have been #sheared, had their pedicures, received their vaccines, and are ready to be returned to the rest of their flock. Clove's fleece was very small, but super fine, crimpy, and lusciously soft! 😍 #shearing #fleece #wool #fiber #fiberarts #SheepOfMastodon
