Tess FINALLY got sheared

You know the story about the cobbler's family having no shoes? Well, today I got my shearer (hubby) to shear the llama.

She is 17 years old and has never been sheared... Her former owner did brush her out, but her skin has not seen the light of day and it showed. She is a bit thinner than we'd have liked, but under all that fiber you could not tell. We still need to cut her teeth, but she was traumatized enough for one day between getting into the chute and then getting dewormed and a CDT shot.

 

Llamas should not have scurf...

 Yes. She is 17, but we should 

not see this much bone.

 Since we have cut way back on the flock, she

can now sleep with the sheep. But, we had to get

creative about feeding as I have a couple that will

 try to climb the wall to get into the llama grain.

 Someday we may actually find her dead.

She sleeps like this outside A LOT!!

I think I've been forgiven.
