Llama and Alpaca Sheering - Day at the Spa

The adventures of Noah's Place takes us to some very interesting places and most definitely meet some great people.  In May of each year it is time to get the winter coat off of our animals and get them ready for the summer hear.  Well, we were a little delayed this year because the person who has helped us in the past was not available.  So, what do we do?

We actually called the Forsyth county agriculture extension agency and they provided the resource that helped us out - Michael West with www.fourladiesandme.com .  We ventured to a beautiful farm at the foot of Pilot Mountain that has 55 llamas and so much more.

Lacey, Sunset and Wonka were treated to an afternoon at the Spa.  Manicures, medicines, and custom haircuts.  They were also able to visit with other llamas.

 Lacey - preparing to be sheered.  If you notice our surrounding in this spectacular barn - we all thought we were in a fancy spa.  Lacey was calm and peaceful.  Plus she enjoyed her extra sweet feed in the bucket.

10 minutes later Lacey was done.  We collected all his fiber and will be woven into some wonderful garments by one of our missionary friends.

Wonka's Alpaca fiber is known for it's quality in making fine garments.
