I was jerking back already when she just hardly got me. Waiting for it to scab, can't see it much other than slight blood, bright bruise by tomorrow, too. Just glad it missed my eye! Dumbest thing to loose an eye to a paca....haha

I actually took pics before starting and then after, so I do have a rough number on how long each took.
Brown girl- 1hr 20min
Cream girl- 1hr 30min

Far better than the 3.5+ hours the babydoll ram took a few years ago with those big hand shears, didn't even finish...lol.

I do nearly everything all on my own. :)

I don't think LUCKY is even close to describing it! Half an inch up and over could have been a disaster.

I tossed the 3rds outside last year thinking the birds would love some alpaca fiber for their nests. It is still there.
