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 |
