Shearing

Shearing is an important maintenance activity that will reduce the chance of heat stroke, it keeps the wool from felting on the llama and it makes good use of the llama's fiber.

Capabilities

We bring our equipment to your animal.  We have a llama friendly restraint chute that makes the whole ordeal much less stressful for the llama, shearer and owner.  We can even bring our own generator for "field work!"

Pricing

Show Cut - $100
This is a close cropped shearing of the center of the llama with a "poodle cut" to show off the normal length of fiber.

Utility Cut - $75
An all over hair cut.  Normally, ridges from the shears are left on the llama.  When the fiber has grown out these ridges will even-out with the rest of the fiber length.  Good for those llamas that struggle with the summer heat and humidity.

Barrel Cut - $50
Close cropped shearing of the center of the llama where they sweat the most.  Similar to the show cut, but the ridges produced by the shears are left.  This is a good economical cut that will provide a lot of heat relief for your llama.

Chute Rental - $35
The portable llama chute (restraint device) makes it much safer for the llama and handler.  It also reduces the need for sedating the llama. Chute charge is per shearing session regardless as to how many llamas are shorn.
