Well that's done....

We finished shearing the last 12 alpacas before breakfast this morning and sent the shearer on his way having  sheared 193 alpacas since Monday. The weather was playing off and on throughout but thanks to the dedication of our herdswoman Linda and the Toft Team we never missed a beat. With the help of the 'newbees' from the Toft Studio Linda kept the herd moving towards the shearing shed as teddy bears and returning the to their paddocks as pink panthers.  Despite the weather we rattled through them with hardly any hesitation and only a handful were sheared slightly damp. All knackered today and the sun is out in all it glory- 'twas ever thus!
