| The goal of the course is that you will be able to go home and shear your alpacas. We also hope that one or two of the seminar attendees will become pro alpaca shearers as well. 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 day so that all attendees will get an opportunity to actually shear 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.

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 Kelsey Brook Alpacas |
