Alpaca
Shearing Table
The Softfoot shearing table has been designed to reduce stress on the alpaca and the human handlers.
The extra low loading position allows for lifting alpaca from the cush position as well as the standing position.
The table uses a pneumatic ram to do the lifting instead of the handlers, thus reducing back injury and physical capability requirement.

Bring the alpaca to the table and secure neck rope and belly sling.
Once the animal is secure, raise the table.
Like
other shearing tables once the table is horizontal, the handler reaches in and
and secures the alpaca feet in the restraints and tensions until the animal is
under control.
The shearer completes one side and alpaca is rotated like on a spit and the other side is shorn.
