Shearing day

Fleece!

We shorn most of our llamas last night, a bit late but it only got reliably warm a couple of weeks ago.

We just shear for comfort, mostly to remove matted bits and to make them a bit cooler, though most of them don't seem to mind the heat.

Dreadlock-free Bakr... Not sure i'd want to tse the sane hairdresser, but he seems OK with it.

We still leave a good cover of fleece on them for insulation and sun protection.

Well done Damian for doing it all by hand, the old fashion way, and well done llamas for putting up with us very gracefully.

Rubik puts up with the shearing

Bakr checks out how his friend is doing... And sees if he can steal his food somehow!
