Alpaca shearer servicing from Wangaratta to Mornington Peninsula, Echuca to Portland and everywhere in between. No herd too big and no herd too small

I’ve been working on Victorian larger alpaca stud and Australia’s larger Suri alpaca stud since 2010, and shearing alpacas since 2015. I have on offer quality shearing and alpaca knowledge. I provide a helper everywhere I go. We are able to provide all injections from a wormer, selenium, B12, 6in1 AD3&E and Coforta injections, teeth and toenails trimmed, and castrations! Feel free to message or call me for quotes. We do any amount of animals from 1-1000 alpacas �

Where has the off season gone 🤦‍♂️ it doesn’t feel that long ago we had to wrap last season up. And now we are looking at firing up to go around again.

With plenty of messages rolling in regarding shearing, it’s time I pull my finger out and look how the 26/27 season is going to fair. It may be alittle different this season with work being flat out with fire recovery work still, and potentially down a vital cog in the team, in a second worker. But the show must go on. In saying this, We have made the decision to cut back on some shearing, mainly on long distance travels. Due to being able to take time off work, won’t be an option this season.

September and October will consist of bigger studs as usual. And smaller numbers around the Echuca/NW areas. I also have 35-40 client who unfortunately missed out last season. So I’d like to try get them done as early as possible.

I’ll have limited spots to add new clients onto my list this season. But if you are in NE Victoria, or an hour or 2 from Euroa. And have a smaller number of alpacas. I’m sure we can work something out 😄

I’ll be looking at booking dates for September/October shearing in the next week or 2. I look forwards to another great year on the road catching up with you and all your amazing animals 🦙🦙🦙

Cheers Matt

Horsham area ✅
Portland area ✅
Nice little 1200km road trip this weekend shearing alpacas, to round off a busy week of shearing trees 🤣
Finally we have caught up on all shearing missed through fires and injuries. Now we can focus on trying to get through the rest of the list.
For everyone who is still waiting. I cannot express how much i appreciate how patient you all have been. Thank you.

To all my Clients, friends and Family affected by the Longwood fires. And any other fires in that matter. I hope you are all safe and well in these trying times. We have a few spare paddocks in Strathbogie if anymore needs to relocate alpacas temporarily with plenty of food, water and shelter.

Most of you know we are based out of Euroa. 10km north of the Longwood fires. At the moment the wind is sending the fire south. And with the next few days being uncertain. We may need to make some calls. Hopefully It doesn’t come too that. But we have to do what we have to do. Stay safe everyone. Our thoughts are with you.

Great first three days out on the road. Ticked off 28 clients and 77 alpacas. Friday we spent the day between Shepparton and Echuca. Saturday we worked from Kilmore across to Flowerdale up to Bonnie Doon. And today was the Rochford, Sunbury and Wallan areas. Unfortunately 2 clients had to reschedule due to uncooperative alpacas. Which we will find another day, when they decide to play along 🤣 I had full intentions of taking more photos but well, next time maybe.

Next weekend we take the commute out to Horsham and Portland to tick more clients off this long list of ours.

This week is going to be a stinker. But dont stress if you make sure your alpacas have plenty of shade and water, they will do just fine. 😁😁🦙🦙

The stitches finally coming out of my hand yesterday. So I thought I’d better see how it feels holding a handpiece before we get stuck back into it tomorrow. Plus it was a good opportunity to get some of my weanlings done. I even managed to get the boss lady to have a go at shearing half an alpaca 🙌🙌🦙🦙

Well. Not the post I wanted to be making, but such is life. They say bad things always come in 3. Sunday it was my shearing trailer folding in half, yesterday was a pretty severe near knock that rattled me pretty bad. And today while out shearing, an animal struggled resulting in me splitting my hand open requiring a few stitches on my right hand (my shearing hand). Being the palm of my hand, there isn’t away for me to power through this one. And will have to put shearing on hold for atleast 2 weeks. Thank god for Christmas. I know it’s abit of an inconvenience. And for the season we are having and being so far behind. I totally understand if people wish to look elsewhere for shearers 😣 it’s just one of those things, and I think my body is telling me to slow down alittle.

I’ve had 3 days off since September 14th. One of those days was a rainy day and shore some of my own alpacas, and other 2 days I spent at the Royal Melbourne dentist with my son. So wasn’t really rest.

I’ll keep everyone posted on how this hands going. And when we fire back up. But In the meantime, myself and The Alpaca Whisperer team wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Stay safe on the roads.
