Alpacas are stoic animals that instinctively hide illness until conditions become serious. By the time symptoms are obvious, the animal is likely much sicker than it appears. This is why establishing baseline health indicators and being vigilant about changes are critical for alpaca owners.

Triple T Alpaca is a three-generation alpaca farm located in Central Minnesota. Due to our family’s schedule and Central Minnesota’s climate, our chosen birthing season runs from May to August. This schedule allows us to shear the crias shortly after birth, promoting healthy fleece growth in preparation for our often unpredictable cold weather. Here’s how we approach the birthing season—what’s worked for us and why. 
 

Shearing day doesn’t have to be stressful, chaotic, or overwhelming. With the right planning (okay, maybe a bit of over-prepping), what could feel like a barnyard blitz can become a smooth, satisfying day for both you and your alpacas.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or prepping for your very first shearing season, this checklist covers what you need to feel ready before, during, and after the big day.
