My husband and I are getting up there in age, we usually co-op with other farms.
I just am not able to do 70 alpacas anymore. This was our first shearing at our farm.
Pete and his crew were knowledgeable, gentle with my old skinny's and awesome.They did everything involved: noodling, samples, nails and teeth. I basically just gave them information on each animal. Such a pleasure to work with. Although I did miss feeding the guys!

Josh and the other crew members were on time per their messages. They were able to get set up quickly once they arrived at the Biscotti residence. They were fast, efficient, and treated the llamas with care. The cost was as expected. I appreciate the communication and professionalism from the crew. I will be scheduling with Top Knot again for 2021.
