Llama Shearers
The following is a list of llama shearers who have confirmed with The Llama Sanctuary that they are happy to shear llamas in the UK.
Note that many of these shearers will need booking weeks, months, or even years in advance, as many shearers cover large geographical areas and have set routes that they will have planned that they will need to incorporate your location into. We recommend contacting your chosen shearer as far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment and negate the potential for any welfare issues to arise from your llamas not being sheared in a timely manner. In our experience, it is generally easier to contact a shearer via text message as opposed to calling them.
Note that these listings do not necessarily constitute an endorsement or recommendation by The Llama Sanctuary. We do however recognise that such information may be of interest and use to UK llama keepers. It is each individual’s own responsibility to verify and investigate these services and The Llama Sanctuary will not be held liable for any issues arising from the information provided on this page.
