Baltimore: Rising Temperatures Prompt Alpaca Shearing
As temperatures begin to rise in Baltimore, the co-founders of Black Barn Alpacas, Yussy McManus and Travis McManus, are preparing to shear their alpacas. This process is essential as the warmer weather makes it uncomfortable for the alpacas to retain their thick fleece. The shearing not only helps the animals stay cool but also provides valuable fleece that can be transformed into various products. The event highlights the intersection of animal care and the changing seasons, showcasing how local businesses adapt to weather changes.
