I think I would have left the trimming of the llamas to the professionals, they get it done much faster with less stress on the animal and give whatever shots they may need and trim the hooves properly.
Brandon did the shearing last year for the Llamas and as he said it cost over $400 and the professional shearers don't give any shots to the Llamas and the hoofs get trimmed by a different person they have someone come to do that and the ponies
@@angelaknisell I'm guessing you are new people to watch their videos since he had a professional person do the hoofs of the ponies last year and I don't know of any of the other homesteaders that have spent thousands on chicken pens homesteaders are not rich people
@@carollarsen7673 depends on which shearer you go with - some are happy to do an all in one service, shots, teeth, the lot, some are purely shearers, but it's also about finding someone you trust with your particular animals and available at the right time of year for your breeding cycles and such I think
I think she did wonderful and you did a good job with her keeping her comfortable and calm. My alpacas just hated to have their feet and their legs done and so did the llamas and so you did a good job with her. Congratulations.
You did an awesome job shearing of the wool, I can tell you i could not stop laughing at the llama's antics and you showed great patience with dealing with their freaking out behaviour. 🙂😂🤣😁😇🥰
Hi Brandon and Stephanie, Good job proventing possible heat problems with the lama, LOL Leighton I don't think the bait is going to smell good to people LOL There is not enough time in a day on the farm, Love you guys God bless and until next time take care.
Brandon and Stephanie, what a great job on shaving the Llamas. It doesn't matter that the hair cut is perfect! All that is important is that the llamas are cooler in the summer. Like all livestock, you have to be calm but firm. As long as you're gentle and show them, you're not trying to hurt them. No reason why you can not shave/clip your own llamas. I remember the first time I shaved my male llama, he hated every minute. But when I was done I could tell he appreciated it! He came right back up to me like nothing had happened! It felt good that he still liked me! Lol! Great job, you do what you can for the animals! God bless ❤....😊
Brandon you need to look up "right choice shearing". Watch how they shear a llama. They shear llamas alpacas and sheep down in Texas area. Watch how they shear and handle llamas. Maybe it will give you some ideas.
I do remember Badger having a heat stroke last yr!! That was scary!!!! Happy to see ya'll taking care of them before it gets TOO hot!! Great job, Brandon!! You're so patient with them & understand that they too relax here & there!! God Bless Eddy Family Farms
As always you and Stephanie did a great job shearing the Llamas!🦙. It’s not an easy job, Socks was so mellow once you got started, Badger was being a real pip but in the ending you got it done! Hoping you get a diagnosis on what is still causing you trouble! God bless your entire family! ✝️🙏 🇺🇸
Hello Brandon and Leighton, One thing I would like to ask you both is why are you not wearing gloves when you are handling the traps?You are adding your human scent to everything you touch! Good luck with the trapping. Brandon good job with the shearing the llamas, All I could think about was the llama wool! Yes I do love to knit and crochet!🤗🤗💞💞💙💙
Brandon you did great getting the crazy animals. I watched this one lady sheer hers and she had a corner post she tied them to. And then on each side she had a fence and wall. And then she said she kept her leg in their side to keep them from pushing her around. I can’t remember who that was. I do however know you have to let them know who’s boss. Have confidence while handling them. I’d be scared. So I wouldn’t be able to do everything y’all do. The one and only way I know to an animals heart is treats! Yummy treats make everything better!
Brandon, l have told 15 channels to watch your video on accidentally putting diesel in your side x side. Best & funniest video I've ever watched. 🤣 no more snakes. Lol lol lol God Bless you all and ☦️ many prayers for your family. 💙 nurse Judi in 🙏🏻 Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️ 🙏🏻 ❤️ 💙
There are plants you can plant around the chickens to will repel them. chives, onions, garlic, marigolds wormwood, society garlic clove basil, holly, king of bitters, and mother in laws tongue---to name a few
Badger must not remember how good it made him feel last year. Y'all did a good job shearing them. Hope you find your turkey and it's ok. Good that y'all are getting the traps back out. Hopefully you'll catch the predators before they get any more of your animals. GOD bless y'all.
I agree, Leighton needs a trapping channel!. Brandon, you did a great job giving the llamas a haircut! Its still not easy but it seems to be better than last year!❤
Stephanie & Brandon, I'm so glad you got the llamas sheared. I'm sure they will feel much cooler. Leighton you did a great job when you explained what you were doing while setting the traps. I hope you catch a varmit on each trap !! Good Luck! Have a Blessed week 🙏🙏🌹 Love 🌻 from Apex NC 💜
I agree with other comments about selling their hair. Try locally first after you find out what prices go for the fur. Socks looks gray now after you got all the white off. Badger--guess he forgot how good it felt last year when he was sheared. He is so beautiful in his coloring and pattern. Isn't it better to wear gloves when trapping, so the human scent is not noted by the predators. Leighton you do a really good job of explaining your steps.
Brandon you did great teaching her to be calm while to clipping her. You went with the grain. The first time you did a body clip is awesome ❤❤❤❤. Great job👍👍👍👍
Hi Brandon and Steph.your doing a good job Brandon with those shears,it is a big job. Love your videos, take care. You show setting those traps very well Leighton, I hope you catch a predictor tonight. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
I love that you are always talking to them and trying to keep them calm. and letting them know what is going to happen and that you are not going to hurt them.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals. The lord will guide you and Stephanie and will be at your side always thru your journey
Great job Brandon shearing. So many things to learn on the farm. Leighton did a smashing job as well. Thx for sharing Brandon & Stephanie. Blessings ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Good Job Brandon, You show so much Respect for your Sweet Llamas. You are very patient. Love you and Steph, and your darling kids. Sending Love and Prayers from Seattle Januari ❤
It's always a good idea to put halters on a few days before you need to get hold of the animal...they know when you are planning something and are less likely to not comply.
Wow your Llamos were real good at clipping. I have seen other farms that tried clipping theirs and they bucked kicked and spit at them through the whole process. Good job
Give him time! He is still young and already has a lot of calls on his time with sport and wrestling, sometimes late into the evening, as well as keeping up with schoolwork, being a strong presence on hte farm, keeping an eye to his siblings and the rest, not to mention time to be a kid whilst he still is a youngster - filming and editing one's own content is a lot of work, I'm sure he will get to it, but for now we must be satisfied with his excellent cameos on Dad's channel
Those lamas are very strong! That’s a very hard job and you have to be strong. Great job! Your son is so good at explaining how to set traps and doing videos!!
Hi there great video did so well at shearing the llamas. Great job Leighton with the traps. Thanks for sharing have a great day take care and God bless 🙏💕
Excellent with Badger animals will always test you to see what they can get away with. If they smell fear. You have lost the fight. Your cool calm demeanor helps them relax. When they frighten or flight response triggered, you back off let them relax and that makes the trust bond stronger. Very very ❤❤❤
Leighton,good job explaining what you were doing, I'm impressed with your knowledge and ability to do that!! Keep working and you will get those predators. !!!
Hello Brandon & Steph, awesome job doing the shearing job 😊 badger got excited on the pretty lady. Glad you got Badger done! He was a turkey but at least he is done. Awesome job Leighton. See to both again. Take care & God Bless ❤🙏🤗😊✝️👍
True, but most places want it washed and carded to get the worst of the hay and stuff out, and leave it workable - I think Brandon has used it for winter bedding/nesting, much as Gary Walker does, it doesnt just go in the trash cart
That was a little rough, yet you did a good job on the first 2 alpacas❤ Keep doing what you do, cuz you do a great job on your farm.🎉 From your Michigander😊
Hello family, it is recommended that the shearing is done by professionals, we already know that there is a payment, but the animals are not stressed, hugs
Nice job getting some of the Llamas sheared I think Badger was thinking you brought back a new Llama for him 😕 hopefully you get the predators that are killing your gineons ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey u all I think u all are doing wonderful with your farm God bless you and your family u always have so much to do it's never boring that's for sure ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Leighton needs his own channel! He does great explaining everything he's doing. Maybe he could do some videos on Stephanie's channel

Brandon you need to look up "right choice shearing". Watch how they shear a llama. They shear llamas alpacas and sheep down in Texas area. Watch how they shear and handle llamas. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

Love you all so much! Continued prayers dealing with the varmints! Congratulations on 143,000 you all are amazing ❤ God bless!
If animals only understood when people are trying to help, it would make things so much easier.
Love how kind you are with the animals enjoyable video
Brandon good job shearing. Leighton, yes you need your own channel. Excellent job setting your traps and explaining every step.
Congratulations

I love this channel!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤Leighton you have mastered your trapping skills
Ya'll are doing a great job every day 😊
Another very interesting video 😊😊😊😊
You did a good job Brandon. You have learned so much. You and Steph make such a great team.
❤
Great job Brandon shearing. So many things to learn on the farm. Leighton did a smashing job as well. Thx for sharing Brandon & Stephanie.
Blessings ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Brandon you have a way with animals, nice job.
Llamas and alpaca 🦙 if there on their back or side and loops there legs down you get better control on sheering them
Good Job Brandon, You show so much Respect for your Sweet Llamas. You are very patient. Love you and Steph, and your darling kids. Sending Love and Prayers from Seattle Januari ❤
I love seeing the llamas thank you for all that you do and showing us your life and thank you for showing us all the animals
Good job Brandon 😊
Love y’all bunches 💙🩷💙🩷💙🩷
i think brandon done a good job shearing the alpacs
Brandon I think the difference is because you showed her the clippers would not hurt her. Treats probably helped also.
It's always a good idea to put halters on a few days before you need to get hold of the animal...they know when you are planning something and are less likely to not comply.
Awesome. You did a good job on the Llamas. Well done to you both. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Is the baby going to recognized "Momma" now? 🤣🤣🤣 Nice job 👍👍👍
Wow your Llamos were real good at clipping. I have seen other farms that tried clipping theirs and they bucked kicked and spit at them through the whole process. Good job
We use a cooling spray for our clippers
So glad to see the llamas being sheared, you did a great job and had so much patience. Good job done.
Y'all are such a cute couple. Absolutely love y'all and the kiddo and all the animals ❤
Leighton does a great job of explaining. Two down, two to go. More power to you guys.
I love the way you talk to the llamas trying to keep them calm as you try to clip their coats of fur off.
Leigh ton is very skilled and should have his only channel.
Give him time! He is still young and already has a lot of calls on his time with sport and wrestling, sometimes late into the evening, as well as keeping up with schoolwork, being a strong presence on hte farm, keeping an eye to his siblings and the rest, not to mention time to be a kid whilst he still is a youngster - filming and editing one's own content is a lot of work, I'm sure he will get to it, but for now we must be satisfied with his excellent cameos on Dad's channel
I love seeing your videos,love the color of Badger she is a pretty lama love all of your animals God Bless!!
Those lamas are very strong! That’s a very hard job and you have to be strong. Great job!
Your son is so good at explaining how to set traps and doing videos!!
What an awesome family ,you have so much love and patience with your animals , you have a calming manner , love to you all ❤❤
Hi there great video did so well at shearing the llamas. Great job Leighton with the traps. Thanks for sharing have a great day take care and God bless 🙏💕

Leighton,good job explaining what you were doing, I'm impressed with your knowledge and ability to do that!! Keep working and you will get those predators. !!!

You need to oil the blades. It keeps them cooler and sharper longer.
I admire the Heck out of you Brandon❤❤❤❤😂😂
Hello Brandon & Steph, awesome job doing the shearing job 😊 badger got excited on the pretty lady. Glad you got Badger done! He was a turkey but at least he is done. Awesome job Leighton. See to both again. Take care & God Bless ❤🙏🤗😊✝️👍
LLAMA wrestling at its best...😂❤😂
Y’all are well on your way to 150,000 subscribers! God bless y’all 👏
that fur has a market.

Brandon you did a really job with the Lamas . It will be easier each time you do it.
Daniel at Arms Family Homestead had an Alpaca that went wild when they caught him. Even on a rope. I've seen the video several times.
Hi Brandon hi Steph sorry not been on for a bit family thing but back now good to see you are well say hi to the kids bless❤
Hello family, it is recommended that the shearing is done by professionals, we already know that there is a payment, but the animals are not stressed, hugs
I sure enjoy watching Leighton do his thing. He’s a natural at whatever he does it seems. He needs his own channel.
Nice job getting some of the Llamas sheared I think Badger was thinking you brought back a new Llama for him 😕 hopefully you get the predators that are killing your gineons ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey u all I think u all are doing wonderful with your farm God bless you and your family u always have so much to do it's never boring that's for sure ❤❤❤😊😊😊
