You're awesome. How do you stay so calm while they're bucking like that?
@appalachianshearing3 ай бұрын
Thank you! I’d definitely say experience, I’ve shorn thousands of animals and picked up lots of tricks along the way. They’re very in tune with people’s energy, so I always describe it as “calm confidence”. If they’re scared and skittish, they’ll keep trying things until something gets you to stop. So the key is to not stop! Also, the closer you are to them, the less that they can hurt you. If you’re right up on them when they jump or kick, it hurts less than if you’re a foot away from them when they jump or kick.

@appalachianshearing3 ай бұрын
This particular farm did not want to save the fiber. While it’s hard for me to see the fiber lost, I don’t have the logistical ability to save it at every farm. This farm had the animals as breeding stock, and it was a hot day - the priority was to get the animals cooled off as soon as possible.

Unfortunately yes, this job was an emergency call for some overgrown and very overheated llamas in 105 degree heat. The goal was to get the animals sheared quickly and safely. They had multiple years of growth on them so the fiber was matter and too long to be processed by commercial equipment anyway.

Jerk - if you'd stop scaring them to death it would be easier for you to shear them. I hope you use more gentleness ensuring them than you do trying to catch them. Please look at right choice sharing - she has the right idea
@appalachianshearing Жыл бұрын
Please do some research before you comment with emotion and ignorance. This was a wild guanaco that had never been handled before and was in Georgia in 100°+ heat and hadn’t ever been shorn. It had 2 years worth of fiber on it and was in risk of heat stroke. I am a professional who has worked with wild llamas for years - once they’re shorn once and realize they feel better and did not get harmed, they become much more comfortable with the process. It is the clients responsibility to work with that animal throughout the year so they are more comfortable with human touch and being on the halter. Thanks for your comment!
