Hi Jay,
I just wanted to drop you a note, thanking you for hosting the shearing seminar. The knowledge I obtained with regard to shearing far exceeded my expectations. This seminar was so informative that I had no problem going home and was able to shear my own animals.
Thanks again,
Randy Palmatier

The goal of the course is that you will be able to go home and shear your alpacas.
The
seminar fee will includes classroom & hands training on as
well as a reference manual.
A catered lunch will also be included as well as coffee & snack for breaks.
Only 12 spots will be available in each class so that all attendees will get an opportunity to actually shearing a complete alpaca.
The seminar fee for the one day shearing seminar is $150/person. Due to limited class sizes we’re not able to offer discounts for multiple attendees.
The Saturday class will be filled first and then the Sunday class will be opened if needed. Both days will be the same program.
