The llama standing out in a grassy pasture, surrounded by eating goats. He's still got a lot of long, fluffy fur on his neck, but his sides are MUCH less poofy than they used to be, with very roughly cut wool all along his sides.

   It's perhaps the ugliest haircut ever, but I managed to shear my llama over the weekend!

   At first I tried to get him into a small pen, but he knew it was a trap. So I just started cutting (with hand shears). He tolerated it for about a minute at a time, then he'd walk away, and I'd give him a little break, then start cutting again.

   I got close to 10 pounds of (really dirty) wool, and now he looks like he's carved out of mattress foam. So weird. Hopefully he'll be cooler for the summer now!
