I've only ever seen alpacas sheared on this complex table that flips around. Nice to see it just being done on the floor. I was thinking it required so much specialized equipment. And I had to laugh at your time comparison. I do that all the time with my pottery. I was so pleased one night at the open studio because I threw 10 pots (my personal best in one evening at the college) until I turned around to see that someone who had joined us for the evening threw 48 in the same amount of time. WHA??? While talking. They told me afterwords he has thrown over 30 in an hour before.<br />Good luck with your shearing.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447113571069402625noreply@blogger.com
