rates

I approach each shearing job with care and consideration from the first email to cleaning and sharpening my gear afterwards. I always take into account both the needs of the animals, as well as those of the flock owner. All of this is factored into my pricing.


 

Set-up + Mileage fees 

These fees are my base pricing. The set-up fee for camelids includes bringing my own assistant. The mileage fee is set by my commuting zones from Doyle, CA.

$50 UNPENNED FEE

This fee is added if animals are unpenned and/or I need to assist with penning.

Payment

Cash or Check
Credit Card (3% processing fee)

CAMELIDS

I shear alpacas/llamas using a pulley restraint system and an assistant to help hold the head. I offer a maintenance cut (vs a show cut) and hoof trimming is included. I do not grind teeth or administer vaccines.

SHEARING ZONE

• I shear mostly in Northern Nevada and Northeastern California in the area highlighted.

• If you’re located outside of this zone, I can offer a quote based on my hourly drive/mileage rate. If you’re able to coordinate with a few other small flocks in your area, this makes the mileage more cost effective for everyone.
