2 High School seniors, Charlotte Fishburne and Katherine Deforrest, visited the farm in May, as part of a project for a journalism class. They produced this MP4 video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lSlFeYZiGJlEA-zWoLDNwQzUa1f0R3dX/view .
It was only 6 weeks after shearing, so the alpacas are "naked". But I think they are beautiful when they are shorn.
Good job, ladies!!

The Marin Independent Journal sent out a reporter and photographer to cover our shearing day today. We sheared 66 alpacas (our shearers were "Shear Relief" from the "Biosecure" website), and we had more than a little help from our friends. The online article can be viewed at http://www.marinij.com/article/20160404/NEWS/160409913
