Anne,

Can you put us down for a fall toenail trim for our alpacas?

Shearing day at my own farm elicits a lot of side glances and rolled eyes. My skills are not appreciated, apparently 😳 #goatshearing #shearinggoats #shearingday #shearinglife #angoragoatsofinstagram #pygoragoatsofinstagram #stargazingfarm #farmanimalsanctuary #sanctuarylife #goatattitude

Awassi sheep - indigenous to the Middle East, they are bred to produce milk, and their wool is used largely for carpet weaving. Not a large sheep but very squiggly!!! I had to really use my knees to keep her from flying away from me. Note the fat tail - very interesting sheep. #awassisheep #awassi #sheepshearing #fattailsheep #shearingsheep #dairysheep #wigglysheep

HB is 16 years old and does not get especially excited when I arrive to trim his hooves and dew claws. But he does walk better afterwards. Just love his Fabio swoosh of bristles on his shoulders. His doggie friend came out to celebrate with milkbones. #interspeciesfriendship #pighooftrimming #pighoof #potbelliedpig #potbelliedpigsofinstagram #seniorpig #elderlypig

Our disabled sheep Herbie has gotten some help with his new sling! He's hoping some folks can help him out with a donation since, as he says, "it waren't cheap!" but it sure does make him feel better!

It’s never too late to get your sheep’s hooves

It’s never too late to get your sheep’s hooves back into shape. Some grow them very fast and need to be done, at times, every 4-6 weeks. More often, though, a quarterly trim will do them fine. #hooftrim #hooftrimming #hooftrimmer #sheephooves #hoofhealth

It was so great to meet up with shearer Jay Mariacher a few weeks ago. He saved the day with a large herd of Suris - and I learned some great new techniques from him. It’s always good to shear with someone more experienced than you :) #shearingalpacas #alpacashearing #shearingfriendship #mariachershearing
