Alpacas are shorn once a year, usually in spring. Shearing usually takes around five to ten minutes per animal for an experienced alpaca shearer . If you are purchasing your first alpacas, speak to us about our recommendations regarding shearers, or we can arrange to bring the alpacas back to the property on shearing day at a reasonable rate.
