Guess what? Being encouraged by your video, we decided to shear our alpacas standing. AND: we did all the ladies, all the yearlings and some of the males standing! It worked really, really well. I noticed it was like a dance. Some of them went well in the midline catch, some didn't want to be held, and I just balanced them with one hand on the back, some just wanted to lay their head on my stretched out arm. That was one wonderful and interesting experience! It was much less stressful and actually - we hardly could believe it - faster as well.
Thank you for encouraging us!
You are the best!
