We enjoyed it even if we were so tired we did not know our names. lol The we<br />is my husband Mac and myself.<br /><br />Below are some pictures of the day. Mark and Chris were the shearers, one now lives<br />here in the US the other in New Zealand and comes over to shear each year. We had about 6 workers picking up fleece and I was writing down the weight of each alpaca<br />before shearing and after, up close and some times too close.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8435766891912748560-6215614011664899018?l=knitrspin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mary mcfatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01298831789013636757noreply@blogger.com0
