My husband & I took a shearing class at Jay Ward's
place in New York. Matt Best was the instructor. We learned a lot, not least of which was that proper restraint
makes a world of difference!
Another thing
we have learned is that proper blade sharpening also makes a world of difference! We happened upon a local sharpener
last year and now we have no more problems with our combs and cutters. His name is Keith Ellefson, and his contact information
is: eesharpener@centurytel.net. (334) 774-6869
Here is Charles shearing two of Judy Georgiades' alpacas.
