Shearing Clinic!
LLAMA SHEARING CLINIC
When: Saturday, April 30, 2011
Where:
Wild Oak Llamas, 12187 Dogwood Road
Grass Valley
EstherSue Sykes, for the fifth year in a-row, demonstrated how to shear your llamas for the
hotter weather and for the show season. Folks brought their llamas and
shears to get some hands-on practice. Mary and Rick Adams hosted
the event and "donated" several
llamas that were used for practice.
EstherSue also showed us some tips on how to prepare the llamas' wool
before shearing so it will be ready to go for processing or for you to
spin yourselves.
This will be our 5th year having this event and it has always been a wonderful time and very beneficial. EstherSue is a great instructor and gives a lot of helpful tips on how to groom your llamas. Take a look at the photos Tom Hansen took at the clinic.
