| I can’t express how happy we are with Mickey and his crew. They were so nice and professional. They left no stone unturned. I can’t tell you the last time we had a herd look this neatly shorn and all done with patience, confidence and kindness. We definitely want Mickey and his crew back next year. Thank you for your understanding with such short notice and not making up feel rushed or uncomfortable. |
| Cynthia from KY shearer was triston on 4/21/2025 |

| Sardis and team is always great to me and my alpacas!! Would highly recommend to anyone!!! Very professional, efficient, gentle with my alpacas happy group they all work well together!!! Now my alpacas look great again. Thanks guys!!! |
| Kim from CA shearer was micah on 4/16/2025 |
| Our only complaint is that it was difficult not knowing what time the crew would be arriving. The track my shearer feature was not working and showed them 1600 miles away all morning so we were operating blindly as to when they may arrive because their previous stop was 5.5 hours ahead of us. We had a group of people here for the event and it just made it more stressful not knowing when to eat or prepare the herd. Otherwise, we were very pleased with the team and the haircuts our boys received. Thanks! |
| Lauren from TX shearer was sardis on 4/15/2025 |

I was nervous this year with our first baby and the guys were so sweet and worked very gently with her😌. They finished in an hour and hung out and talked which was a real personal touch. Also, there clean up was fantastic! We look forward to our next shear date. Happy customers ~ John and Kelly Laurenzi |

They even made sure the area was clean when they were done. I look forward to working with this crew again next season. All the Best, Scott & Donna Miller Peartree Farm Chesterland, Ohio |

These guys are the epitome of customer service. Thank you guys for everything. |

| Deb from KY shearer was sardis on 5/4/2024 |
| Sardis and his team were great this year. I asked if they could slow down the pace a little so I could better keep up and they gladly did so. I also introduced a new blanket collection method and Sardis gave me productive feedback that the new method helped him do a quicker and better job. Animals were a little damp from rain, but Sardis didn't mind. He even helped me catch and corral animals so they were easy to handle. Thanks for a great shearing event. |
| Deborah from KY shearer was sardis on 5/2/2024 |
| Sardis and his team give their utmost care and concern for the well being of our alpacas. The alpacas here at Black Watch are well taken care of and receive the best shearing. It is great to watch how each team member takes special care with each alpaca. Watching them calming each one during the whole process is special. Happy to hav e Sardis and his team here at Black Watch!!! |

| 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! |
| Lucy from MI shearer was noah on 5/24/2023 |

| 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 |

| Krissy 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 |
