The competition will be held at Moonlit Alpacas in Cornwall, VT.
Points are awarded on the quality of the shorn blanket, the look of the finished alpaca and time.
The classes are based on experience level. So there's room for a "young" shearer like me, as well as the very experience shearer.
The competition is sponsored by:
- Light Livestock Equipment - I am a customer of LLE because they provide exceptional customer service.
- Best Shearing Services - I learned how to shear in one of Matt's classes.
- Tooth-O-Matic and Fight-O-Matic
- Beiyuan Combs and Cutters
- Andis Shears
the shearing competition will be a lot of fun! and a great learning experience for many. all are welcome to join us to compete or spectate. see you there!
ReplyDeleteI am a shearer, way out here in the west. I would love to shear at the competition, though time and distance will not allow. Perhaps some of the folks there will post some video clips, so we can still learn, and catch some of the shearing fever. Thanks, and have fun.
