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.
