| Kay from NE shearer was micah on 5/25/2023 |
| We are again extremely pleased with Micah and his crew – Asher, Andrew, and Tristan! We’ve had animals for over twenty years, and this was by far the most efficient and smooth shearing experience we have had in a number of years, evidence of the skill, efficiency, and professionalism of this crew! Micah’s team perfectly balanced efficiency with care and attention to detail for each animal, which we were so appreciative of given our aging herd and very pregnant females! The crew put up with our requests for pre-shearing pictures, show cuts on almost every fleece, and didn’t miss shots, toes, or teeth on anyone. So impressed by this group and already looking forward to having them back next year. Thank you – Micah, Asher, Andrew, and Tristan – the animals are loving their haircuts! |

| Deborah from KY shearer was sardis on 5/4/2023 |
| Sardis and his team go up and above to create a calm and professional environment for our alpacas. It is a pleasure to have the team on our farm. We thank them and as always look forward to next year. The alpacas look great! |
| Sonia from TN shearer was sardis on 5/1/2023 |
| We want to say Thank You to Sardis and his crew. We are only into our second year with Alpacas and did not have a good experience with a shearer we used last year. Sardis and his crew showed up and got right to work setting up while Sardis (knowing we were still new to this) took the time to introduce his associates and give us a rundown of their process. He took the time to explain what he was doing and why at each step, what we could use the different fleece for(1st, 2nd and thirds). The animals were treated carefully and only down for a minimal amount of time. They work very effeciently and carefully.We can't thank them enough. Rachel was great to deal with on the phone while setting our appointment as first time clients, always took the time to answer any questions and schedule us. Thank you all, Sonia and Mike |
| Connie from TN shearer was sardis on 4/29/2023 |
| Sardis and his crew take alot of pride in their work. They worked well together and assisted Sardis with moving our llamas to get a great shearing. We are grateful to have had Sadie’s crew three times . Our llamas are very happy when they leave. Thank you., The McMillan’s |
| Suzie from TN shearer was sardis on 4/29/2023 |
| Always a pleasure to have Sardis and crew. So respectful of alpacas, property and us |
| JoAnn from OH shearer was john on 4/29/2023 |
| This is our first year and we believe that we had the "best" team - John's team. The guys are professional, kind and pay attention to the needs of the owner and the alpacas!! We think John's team should win because he is celebrating his 20th year shearing alpacas. Michael and JoAnn White |
| Arleen from WV shearer was noah on 4/27/2023 |
| Perfection. We're slowing down after 16 years in the business and after having peaked at 27 alpacas everyone was glad to come, we are now down to 4 alpacas; one male with many health issues, two girls getting up there in years and one girl still hot to trot if you understand. The care Noah and Destin showed the alpacas was impeccable but what stood out for us was their ability to listen to our history and what was needed to keep us on track as we slowly work an exit plan brokenheartedly as it may be toward retirement. The dedication to be there for us as our herd diminishes with laughs and light hearts. Rachel cannot be left out, with her communication skills going a long way when things don't always go as planned. We will recommend Noah,Destin, and all at Shearing Alpacas above any of what might be considered their competition of which after years of experience there doesn't seem to be much. God bless those that care for each alpaca and not just what you have to offer them when you're herd is at its peak. Sincerely, Arleen and Allen McInarnay of Double "A" Ranch |
| Jennifer from IN shearer was micah on 4/27/2023 |
| Micah's team was awesome as always!! They are very good at what they do and can tell they support each other in their work. This is very impressive considering they spend 24/7 with each other traveling to farms and working together. |
| Lori from TN shearer was noah on 4/24/2023 |
| Noah and Dustin were wonderful! I am new raising alpacas and this was my first experience. I'd heard stories of the stressed alpacas and the mess. Bio Shearing was recommended by Foster Trails Alpaca Farm. These two sheared my very pregnant lady (due in 2 weeks) with gentle care so as to keep her calm. My five ladies were done in less than 90 minutes-set up to clean-up! They also helped me understand body scoring. In fact Noah has so much experience that he was able to accurately tell how old each of my girls are. I'll schedule again next spring when I will have new crias to add to my herd. Thank you Rachel for your help and scheduling and Noah and Dustin for the care and skill you gave me and my herd. Lori Tanner Pikeville TN |

| The best ever |
| Beverly from TX shearer was noah on 4/8/2023 |
| Just wanted to tell you it was the calmest, best shearing ever. Noah is incredible. They were such a team. Our alpacas were so calm. We’ve never had a day like yesterday. And, all of the others were good. You can tell he worked with John because it reminded me of when I met John 8 years ago. I only have one question. What is his partners name. He’s been here the last several years and I keep forgetting it. He’s wonderful, too. Thanks again. |
| Jennifer from TX shearer was micah on 4/5/2023 |
| Micah & crew are the best! Y’all have been taking care of our animals for years and we consider your services provided as a blessing! Thank you! |
| Sheri from TX shearer was sardis on 4/3/2023 |
| Great as always. They always make the llamas' "worst day EVER" go quickly and painlessly. Just don't ask the llamas. They will say they died 17 times while being shorn. |
| Danelle from NM shearer was john on 4/3/2023 |
| For our first time with you everything went great. We appreciate the timeliness and look forward to working with you again. |
| Bill from MS shearer was noah on 4/3/2023 |

| Linda from SC shearer was noah on 3/31/2023 |
| I had a 2 man crew and it took twice as long to complete shearing. I prefer the larger crew with 2 mats. That being said, the guys did a great job. |
| Anita from NC shearer was noah on 3/29/2023 |
| The 2 man crew with Noah worked very well for us and would be happy to have him next year again. Was great with the alpacas including the girl with a broken leg in a splint. |

| Julie from OH shearer was micah on 3/23/2023 |
| Very nice and professional crew who did an outstanding job handling the Alpacas and shearing them. The Alpacas looked great when they were done! I would definitely hire them again to shear my Alpacas and trim their teeth and toes. |
| Kay from NE shearer was sardis on 6/24/2022 |
| Excellent crew!!! They worked together so well and put the animal first. Everyone's hair cut is perfect (with some boys getting special fiber cuts)!! They graciously put up with and helped with photo shoots in between it all keeping the shearing progress on track. Thank you Sardis and crew!!!! Job very well done!!!! |
| Wendy from MT shearer was sardis on 6/20/2022 |
| Oh my gosh, where do we begin? This was our first alpaca shearing experience and we are new to alpacas. Rachel put us at ease by scheduling us an appointment quickly and explaining the process. Day of shearing (20 June 22): Sardis and his crew Johnathan, Daniel and Tristen were spectacular. To think I was nervous about this all week and for what? They were professional, polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. Everyone on within this crew didn't mind taking time to educate us about whatever we needed to know. Today was the first time I actually got to pet, touch or hold our alpacas. In addition they taught us how to catch them and halter them. The crew did a total of 9 sheep (2 were strong rams) and two intact male alpacas. They sheared, clipped toes, shaved teeth, trimmed fighting teeth and educated all in a little over an hour. We will utilize their services in the future and highly recommend them to others. Thank you Willow creek studio (Christena) for referring them to us. |
| Rachel from MT shearer was sardis on 6/17/2022 |
| Very friendly and informative crew!! First shearing experience for us with our alpacas and the guys were very helpful and friendly with answering our many questions while still doing an excellent job! |
| Jenny from ID shearer was sardis on 6/15/2022 |

| Linda from UT shearer was sardis on 6/11/2022 |
| Sardis and his crew were excellent! We've been hiring shearers for 24 years now and this was probably our best experience ever. A group of talented and respectful young men made up this crew! And our animals all look fantastic. Thank so much! |
| Barb from OH shearer was sardis on 5/26/2022 |
| Sardis, Daniel, and Jonathan were so kind and helpful with everything! I had one alpaca that has been ill and they were especially kind with him and to me. I hope I can be scheduled with them next year.Also alpacas all look so neat and clean- great shearing job! Thank you 😊 |
| Mandy from MI shearer was micah on 5/25/2022 |

| Janelle from MI shearer was caleb on 5/24/2022 |

| JoAnn from OH shearer was sardis on 5/20/2022 |
| I had the best experience in 12 years of alpaca ownership. I felt like Sardis ~ Daniel and Jonathan we’re on exactly the same page. I have to say i know how FUSSY i am about all things on shearing day. I stress over it. I wont any more. I will even ask Sardis to cut the heads and legs as he would on my show animals. My herd was in skilled loving hands. I can’t say enough ! Responsible. Respectful and gentle to the animals. Kind and respectful to my many needs. When you have a great hair cut you feel great. Each alpaca looks his / her best. I am so very happy. Rachael these guys are damn good ! |

| He's a great shearer. I so appreciate the service. |
| Paige from PA shearer was sardis on 5/17/2022 |
| Sardis and his crew were very efficient and friendly. They talked out our cut preferences before starting and then would ask us about doing teeth and toenails before they started just to confirm it was ok with us. The animals were handled in a safe manor that kept everyone in the situation safe. The crew was very well informed and answered any questions that were asked! It is always a great experience! |
| David from WV shearer was sardis on 5/16/2022 |
| Great job again, good job explaining what they were doing, why teeth did or didn't need to be done. All the pacas look great, thanks so much for being here this year! |

| Terri from NY shearer was caleb on 5/2/2022 |
| Caleb and his 2 Cronies did a wonderful job with handling the boys and of course Abbie (llama). Pippen didn't get any hairs up his nose so no sneezing from him this year!! The weather was one of those misty mornings but the boys did a beautiful job on the animals and I always appreciate them being on time. Told Caleb to give you my best....Thanks again Team Caleb and I will see you next year! Terri Fountain, Glen Spey, NY |
| Jeff from IN shearer was micah on 4/30/2022 |
| As always: Micah Justice and his shearing crew from from Biosecure Alpaca Shearing was Awesome. He does a great job. We have used him with our farm and various other neighboring farms for many years. They are prompt, precise and very professional each and every visit. We greatly appreciate all the hard work he does. Rocky Road Alpacas will continue to use Micah until we have our last animal. Thanks to all who make this happen. Thanks to Rachel and her years of continued scheduling and communication. |
| Tracy from IN shearer was micah on 4/28/2022 |

| Alice from NJ shearer was caleb on 4/26/2022 |
| My first time shearing w my 3 young alpacas and the experience was amazing! Caleb, Justin and James were really just nice guys and answered all my questions and the alpacas did not seem to be overly traumatized like I had been led to believe, which is very important to me. The guys worked together like a well oiled machine and got it done quick and my little boys are now doing zoomies around their paddock. Thanks for a great job guys! See you next year ❤️ |
| George from TN shearer was sardis on 4/22/2022 |
| These guys are fantastic. I cannot say enough good about them from their personality to their ability. I am a first-time user but would recommend them to anyone. Saying thanks doesn't begin to express how grateful I am. |
| Nora from TX shearer was john on 4/20/2022 |
| John, Rory and Nate did a wonderful job on my animals. They were timely, efficient, quick, caring, paid attention to detail and sensitive to some of the last minute changes we had to make onsite. I would recommend this team to care for anyone's animals. Look forward to working with the shearingalpaca crews again next year. |
| Patricia from AR shearer was sardis on 4/19/2022 |
| Sardis gets a "10" just because that's the highest I can give. Excellent in every way. Amazingly gentle and knowledgeable with my fur babies. Thank you!! Highly recommend. |
| LuAnn from OK shearer was sardis on 4/16/2022 |
| This team was absolutely amazing! We want them to come back next year and shear our alpacas. They handled our animals with great care, and were very gentle with them. These young men were very professional, and very pleasant to be around. Can not brag on them enough! Thank you! |
| George from NM shearer was micah on 4/16/2022 |
| This was my first year with Shearing alpaca and I was very happy with the results. Micah, Levi and Triston were excellent. They handled the animals with care and professionalism to get them down, sheared, trimmed, vaccinated, and dewormed with minimal time and stress on the animals. After we were done, we had a late lunch and visited. I hope they come back through this area again next year as I would like them back to shear in the future. Thank you guys for a great service and wish you the best for your continued travels as you head back home! George R. |
| Tracy from OK shearer was sardis on 4/15/2022 |

| Lori from NV shearer was john on 4/9/2022 |
| This crew is the best this is our 2rd year and it is easy and efficient. Loved the new sandbags over their necks. Not only easier on the animal but frees up the guy to do other things. The guys are always calm and fast with my girls so they don't have to be down more than 10 min also they do their teeth and feet. Thank You !!!!! |
| Diane from TX shearer was sardis on 4/6/2022 |
| Sardis and his team did an outstanding job and are professional and efficient. Very respectful and friendly. Our llamas and alpacas look better than new! We hope we get Sardis again next year. |
| Jessica from TX shearer was micah on 4/6/2022 |
| This was my first shearing and the tram was absolutely great. I have 2 alpacas and 1 of them is a diva! The guys were good and didn't even bat an eye when he was screaming and spitting. Definately was easier than I had thought it would be! |
| Kathryn from TX shearer was caleb on 4/5/2022 |
| Absolutely the BEST experience having Caleb and his crew do the shearing this year! The men were pleasant, happy, polite, accommodating and truly listened to my needs as an owner . This was only the second shearing I have had done at my ranch, and hands down the most professional. We have 14 adults and 4 cria. The animals were penned close to the shearing area and Caleb’s crew assisted in moving the animals to and from the pens. We had a lot of grass burrs in the fleece, so each alpaca needed to have shearing specific for them and they looked great afterwards!! The price was fair and the men did an excellent job! I will defiantly book again next year and would like to request Caleb and crew ! Safe travels gentlemen🦙 |
| Janie from TX shearer was caleb on 4/5/2022 |

| Butch from TX shearer was micah on 3/30/2022 |
| For the second year in a row we had rain on shear day, but the bad weather doesn’t dampen Micah and teams spirits. They are always friendly and efficient, take care to handle the animals with kindness. Great job fellas and see you again next year. Safe travels! |
| Molly from KY shearer was sardis on 3/26/2022 |
| Sardis did amazing shearing our alpacas! All of the alpacas were so calm and relaxed, it was over quickly and everything went so smoothly! Super sweet guys and we can’t wait for next year’s shearing with them! |

| Carol from KY shearer was sardis on 3/25/2022 |
| Sardis and a crew of from one to three others has sheared our alpacas and sheep several years in a row. Can’t say enough good about all the crew members who come!!! They are all professional, expert at their job, polite, and willing to go the extra mile. You could not ask for a better group of young men to do work on your farm. I would highly recommend this group to anyone who needed their services (and have done so!). And in spite of several snafus in scheduling, which is difficult when juggling so many farms and different needs, I felt that they tried their best to please absolutely everyone—a very difficult balancing act. Thanks so much! |
| Teresa from KY shearer was sardis on 3/25/2022 |
| Very patient and knowledgeable |
| Stephanie from KY shearer was micah on 3/24/2022 |
| Micah was friendly and polite to me, and kind and gentle to my animals. I have one alpaca that is rather foul tempered due to a rough start before he came to me, and Micah was careful around an old injured ear and patient with him. |
| Shelby from KY shearer was micah on 3/24/2022 |
| Great experience! We look forward to using you all again! |
| Debbie from WV shearer was sardis on 3/23/2022 |
| Sardis has patience with whomever he brings with him. This year he brought Jonathan, a 17 year old in training. Sardis also knows that I want my neck in a separate bag from the blanket. He let's us clean the mat between animal's, Sardis is never racing to get to the last animal and this I also respect. He has a sense of humor and is very easy to work with this also makes conversation easy! I highly recommend him for both alpacas and sheep. |
| Diane from OH shearer was sardis on 3/5/2022 |
| Sardis did an excellent job for us shearing 69 Shetlands Sheep. Paying attention to details, such as cleanly removing their fleeces, needing no follow up by me afterwards...Excellent Job! Also, care of each animal to minimize any knicks. Tristan did a good job on trimming their hooves also. Thank you Very Much!! |
