My husband and I have enjoyed, and giggled, at your videos. But, this one, so far, was the most we have laughed. The appearance of the donkey poodles after the trimming were hilarious! Thank you!
I was picturing Rufus saying “How rude!” Like Jodie Sweeting on Full House.
I have a beautiful weaving on my living room wall, the artist raises her alpacas, shears, cleans, dyes, spins and weaves beautiful wall hangings. They are very expensive to buy, she makes a great living. I hope you find or they find you so your fleece doesn’t go to waste. You can even save it up till you think you have enough to sell.
They definitely look like donkey puddles now.
Thanks for sharing you family and farm life.
God bless you and your precious family stay safe and healthy.
I see Big Mac is ready in the corral. Such a shame. He will definitely be missed. But at least he had a way better life then most cows have. I like the donkey poodles new look throw. Keep up the great work Daniel, Houston and the whole of the arms family. May God bless.
Ole Rufus thinks there's new gals in town! Got his giddy-up-go to goin!
Thank you Kevin for your help and time they seem very happy after there clips 🙏
I really enjoyed watching your dad shear the donkey poodles. He definitely knows what he's doing. You two are the greatest couple on TH-cam. You have an awesome family. Love all your videos. Blessings to all.
Enjoyed this video. I was amazed at how much fleece each one had. Dad is obviously an expert at shearing. Very interesting video.

Hello
@@zacsadventures1331 Hello
Terry Mangum hi
If you think they are going to spit, just cover their muzzle with a tube sock. They'll still spit,but it will stay in the sock
Thank you for bring back Wonderful Memories for me. My Grandpa Nielsen was a Sheep Sheerer for his whole life. He traveled with a Sheering Crew all over Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Northern California. He passed away in 1995. He was born in 1907 . Growing up I would go with my Grandma and Grandpa to different Farms every weekend. He called the sheep Cockeyed Knuckleheads. Seeing the clippers brought back a rush of wonderful memories. Thank you
They definitely look different. Haha. Great job guys. I can imagine they will be much more comfortable as the weather gets warmer.
Poodle giraffe's!!!!! Lol, hahahaha this is great!!! I love you guy's!! Hahahahahaha😹poodle tantrums are funny!
This was the first time I have EVER seen a "Donkey Poodle" play dead LOL😁😂🤣( Washington State has LOTS of "donkey poodle farms just an FYI )
Enjoyed this immensely
I love watching the alpacas; I think they're very cool!! Y'all did a great job today. Great video... Thanks for sharing your day.
Happy Mother's Day, DJ!!
I think the guy that did the alpacas hair did an amazing job ! They didn’t look stressed out or scared like I seen other alpacas . Love you’re videos!
I think the alpacas are adorable. I also think that y’all did a wonderful job. Especially since it was your first time. I’m sad that big Mac has an appointment but I understand. I eat beef too
I hate to see Big Mac leave too. He made me laugh. He ain’t afraid to vocalize.
I m a wheelchair user and could really put the fleece to use but I live in Europe....so would have to go by post...? I f that's An option? Anyway love you have such gorgeous Alpaca s. Well done with shearing .
I just love these babies and cannot wait to see the new baby. You folks are terrible and I enjoy your energy. Stay safe during these strange times and thank your sharing your lives with this community.
Hello to Arms Family Homestead , it's great to have family and friends together. So amazing 😄 , wow they look more cuter than they already was. Nice Work Houston
If Dejay’s dad would make me look that thin by giving me a haircut, I’d be out to Oklahoma in a flash!
Aaaamen!!
That's funny lol 😂😂😂
Mee too!!!
sign me up!!
Hell I live in Canada and I'd walk there if I had too!! Lol❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
I LOVE working with alpaca wool! It’s my favorite for spinning and working with-baby alpaca wool from the animal’s first shearing is considered to be the highest grade there is. I’d definitely be interested in the fleece!
I have 5 alpacas and I donated their fiber to a lady that spins the fiber to yarn and then knits hats for cancer patients. Next year I will take a class to learn how to make the yarn.This was also our first year shearing.
Sweet Rufus, if you could only see 2 yrs down the road, to today and see little RJ. I Truly believe, God gave that little fur baby as a gift to soothe hearts. Yes, Dolly did good, but YOU, RUFUS, left a gift for those who love you and you loved. How awesome is that, YOU gave them a gift. Job well done Rufus!!! He looks just like you.
I would volunteer to make you some things out of that fleece...
The wave to the hair is called crimp.
Should of put Tina in with Rufus again. He's definitely interested in her! Wowza!
Sharon Blevins but then if she gets pregnant the they can’t bread her in the fall
Ella Wempen I'm here for the bread😉
Hillary Clintub ah? You on drugs mate?
Hillary Clintub fenelyn?
Hillary Clintub with that sort of haircut he's gotta be on the drugs
I didnt realize they were going to look so small an skinny after. I love it 😍 They look so cute especially Lucy & Rufus ❤
Glad no one got hurt. Was very educational. I never knew the flees can off in a bunch or ropes of flees. Good job.
Rufus looks like a Elvis impersonator 😂🤣😂. When he was refusing to get up and died laughing. I'm sure it wasn't fun, but what a fiasco. Blessings
I am sure that someone in your area that does weaving and spinning would love all of that alpacas wool. Just give it to them.
There are usually fiber groups that spin or felt alpaca. I treasure my alpaca fleece hoard.
I would have loved some fleece if I lived locally, love the alpacas, I would have some too if I had the land. Did a great job shearing, main thing is for the animals comfort as you say
That Was Super Cool Thanks For Sharing The Donkey Poodles Haircuts!
Much❤Love & 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻God Bless 😘👍🏻😁& Happy Mother's Day
Happy mother's day Dejay and all the other mamas reading this. I was so excited when you guys got alapacas. That's what made me subscribe!
Alpacas are cool all around. It's been my dream to find some land and raise Alpacas! I love the animal, I love their fleece, I knit and crochet with it. If you have any of the fleece to left to send to subscribers I would love some please. Can't wait to see the baby!
I love Houston.He is so honest.He is a precious boy.I love how he is so compassionate to his animals,and how he loves gardening,and fishing.You have a great family.I love when your whole family is together for your vlog
This is so fun to watch- thanks for sharing with us!!!❤️
Putting a sock over the muzzle of llamas or alpaca’s while shearing so they won’t spit on you! Any sock large enough to go on comfortably & sew a elastic band on to hold it on there face!!
It’s really neat to see someone who’s an expert at shearing. No pain, just a loud noise and being restrained.
DJ's Dad made it look easy.
Play Houston I got a huge surprise for you
RIP BIG MAC we all loved u 😢
yes love that BBQ
Arnold Romppai true but we also loved big mac
Yummmmmmm
r d nooooi❤️
I'm not looking forward in watching Daniel's video of loading Big Mac in the trailer and taking him to the butcher. I will watch it with respect for Big Mac.
Enjoyed this. I wish I knew how to spin the wool. Best sweater I ever owned was an Alpaca sweater. So soft & warm.
My husband and I both said that Lucy looks like a dancer now with her leg warmers. :) We enjoyed watching the shearing. Thanks for sharing!
I have spun Alpaca and it’s so nice to spin with and sooo nice to knit with 😁😁😁
My Uncle sold the fleeze every year. and paid his property taxes with it.
I seen a sneak peek of this on the Snapchat and was thinking if you was ever going to show the actual video. Looks good. Thank you for sharing your life with us outsiders.
Love, love, love your donkey poodles! They are just adorable! I would get some too, if I had a farm! Look forward to every day’s new posting!
Hey Daniel OMG that was just to funny with Rufus laying down on his side like he was dead he was in a state of shock lol ---> send out a APB we have a alpaca down😲 now Rufus and the girls look so skinny I didn't know that they had that much fleece on them but they will feel alot better. So whats next for AFH keep up the good work and see you in the next video 🤔😯😉
I hope someone can use the fleece, it is beautiful. The noises they make is hilarious. I have to watch this again. 🤗
Enjoyed this video! We were all laughing out loud and rewinded a couple of shots! So glad you'll be giving that beautiful fleece to someone who I'm sure would appreciate it!
Nice knowing you Big Mac. You were such a Good Boy. RIP I know the Family will enjoy you going to camp.
Rufus looked funny with his pants on 🦙!
🤣🤣🤣
Awh Dejay your a hoot. "You smell funky"Lol lol "I got spit on about 20 times" lol lol I should not have taken a sip of cola just then!!!!! I love you guys. God bless, take care and be safe.
Hello Arms Family 👋😆💕📹👍. This was definitely a fun video. The donkey poodles look so funny without all their fur/wool. All the poofy fur left on their head & face makes their heads look too big for their necks. I had no idea they were so skinny underneath. But, they're still adorable with or without their fur/wool.
I Love your family, you’re good,kind and caring people. The type of folks everyone wants to be friends with. Wish I lived near you guys
They look way more like donkey poodles now.
Big Macks like "holy crap....theyre going to shave me next, I just know it!"
well he got it half right, he will be shined..
He WISHES it was only shearing.
@@bevtrue6937 wishes dont come true.
I haven’t smiled so much in days! Lucy is flippin’ Ahdorable!!!! ❤️Bella❤️Bear❤️
Loved your first experience at shearing your donkey poodles. Nice mother's day video. God Bless all you touch
Love your videos guys
I truly hope the fleece goes to someone who can put it to use. If I had a clue how to process it I would love to have some. I think it would make an absolutely stunning sweater. And maybe some socks. 🥰
Yarn-NiNi can't it be used as stuffing for a pillow?, i really don't know.
Noemi Salamante. Probably but I'm thinking without being cleaned real well it would smell pretty bad.
@@Knits-WIPs-N-Chains I was thinking the same thing. Using vinager will get rid of the smell.
Clifford Souchet. If it's anything like sheep's wool I think it's a little more involved than that.
@@Knits-WIPs-N-Chains Maybe. I use vinager in my wash if cat urine and or cat spray get on any clothing. It gets rid of the nasty smell 💯% if the time.
Just FYI, you can use the fleece to put around the base of your plants in the garden. It retains water and can be tilled into the ground later. You can also put it in gauze bags of flat square bird feeders and hang up for the birds to use in their nests.
At $3 to $5 an oz, I would be looking for buyers.
Well that was interesting, now that they sheared, they really look like donkey poodles! Well done to dad in law great job. Happy Mother’s Day to all Arm’s Family followers from South Africa ❤️❤️❤️🇿🇦
Rufus is the man! Business in the front, party in the back!
They looks so tiny without their wool! Poor Bella getting kicked by Rufus! Have a great day!
Yeah the hoof just missed Bella's head. I had to watch that part a second time. 🧓
Danial; I am sitting here watching TV, and your video of your control burn and it is the one of Sasquatch. Today is Mother's Day that I am watching it. Love from OHIO ❤️❣️❣️❤️
Watching your dad sheer the alpacas, brought me back to the old days when my family sheered sheep!!
You know what they say, " there's more than one way to shear an alpaca." Or something like that. Sure dad will shear the alpacas, but let's see him shear a bison.
Does anyone EVER SHEAR a bison??
LOL! Great fun response.
A bison sheerer has. LOL!
@@bevtrue6937 Probably not anyone that lived to tell it. lol
I think bison wool is usually collected after it’s shed...they’re a wee bit hazardous to try shearing...
You might have someone close who can take the fleece from you. You can just ask on Facebook. Get a good product to someone in need
It isn't about "getting RID of the fleece" it is about selling it. It is worth a fortune.
@@bevtrue6937 I know, but she wasn't worried about selling it, and I know there are people who like to card and spin their own yarn. It was just a suggestion
@@LindaPoorman 😁 good one.
Thanks Dad he did awsome job shearing i love you guys always making me laugh
When the alpaca screamed it made me laugh
I was expecting to see you mud wrestling with them and they are definitely living up to their name donkey poodles now
Houston loving on a chicken, sweet little boy.
It’s amazing how thick their coats are. They must be able to regulate their body temperature to keep from getting too hot. I bet they don’t ever get cold in the winter.
Donkey poodles are so cute😀
Rufus the silly character, still around for now! LOOK AT ALL THE HAIR....omg! Thats insane
Haha Lucy's head looks like a football😂
I think you guys did a good job, it gets better/easier the more you do it. Can't wait for the babies..
What delicious entertainment for my Mother's Day!!! Laughed so hard at Rufus!! How good is God that he gives us the ability to care for our animal charges and to use the bounty provided. I would love to have some of the fleece if there is any left. Y'all make me proud to live in Oklahoma. I am hoping if there is a meet and greet in the future with y'all and Dutch etc. that my grandsons and I can come meet you in person. I try not to miss one of y'all's videos.
Your father-in-law did a great job. I love the booties on their legs.
amantedelenguaje2 no
Y'all using that hair? 🤔🤔
Boy was this funny 😂😂😂❤
Excuse my french, but I was LMAO when I saw this video! 🧓
Hey Houston hey guys I just wanted to say that we’re coming to Houston Texas on Fourth of July so I’m a big fan of years and keep up the good videos and content you guys are the best
Got a haircut today and I'm ready for Hollywood,awesome video you guys,glad you guys are happy safe and sound.❤😀😊👍👍
So ya cute guys u do know that they make a shearing table for them. Lol even though I like watching u guys wrangle them much more comical
Shearing tables and tying their legs is actually the humane way to shear them, they can't move around and accidentally get cut by the shearing blade. This was hard to watch, as an alpaca lover and spinner/knitter.
@@CriaAndKiddFW they did say they were not professionals
@@johnneal1102 understood, but Alpaca fleece is a commodity, and especially a CRIA fleece. The neck and blanket are the best part, I'd make sure that I had a professional do it the first time and not ruin a fleece. If you spend the $$ on the animals, you should have the job done properly. It's so sad to see good fleece sheared so carelessly. A Cria blanket can go for over $100 raw.
I believe she will b more mindful of the fiber on the next round. There's a learning curve on all new ventures.
This was all so new to her. I'm sure she is & has been doing research on all things paca & fiber. A blanket on Dolly will keep her fiber snowy white.
I think y’all did a great job but boy are they skinny after that hair cute😂😂😂😂😂😂 they don’t look like baby giraffes 😂
Yes they do! LOL! 🧓😆
Gee this was exciting to watch and yes they all look different. Dad did a great job. Thanks!
Love the videos, we used to call our Italian Greyhound skinny mini, before we lost him in the end of January made me tear up when you said that. God bless the blue line buddy....
You could put a sock over their face so they can’t spit on you.
Nylons
Look at all the money you guys are leaving on the ground
This was very interesting to watch I have never seen a animal get sheared thank you for sharing your animals with us God bless
They are beautiful animals and very interesting. So fun to watch.
So glad you had family experienced in shearing animals!
That was very interesting. They look so different. Rufus looks so small now. Good job. 😀💖
Yarn is so warm and sheds water.
The best alpacka sheering iI have sen. So nice and calm permormed. They where calm most of the time. ❤
Now I see why you call them donkey poodles ! When one would rejoin the group, they did not recognize each other. They had to use their sense of smell to fin out who they were ! That was so funny when one sneezed !
I have friends that have an alpaca farm of about 30 females and 15 males. I love going there to watch them in their pen and interacting with them. My daughter has spent a couple summers out there with them and even delivered a cria (baby) when one of the mommas was in trouble. We've picked through and sorted and bagged up their fibre many-a-time and I've seen a lot of creative hair cuts. I just want to tell you that your dad, DeeJay did an awesome job. When I've seen alpaca's sheered in the past, they've been on a table. I think your method was awesome and far less stressful to the animal than wrangling them up onto a table and then having to "flip" them over to do the other side, haha. Great job on the sheering!!! They look adorable. It's always so surprising to see how small they really are once they've had their haircuts, haha. xo Heather🇨🇦
Love their fur/fleece wish I knew how to work with it the white especially!!!!!
Oh my weird. They are tiny. Love the hair dos. Thank you for sharing. Never seen them getting hair cuts before. They are so cool.👍🙏 Keep safe.
Oh what a performer. I throught Bear held that title.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌟🌟🌟🦎🦙🦙🦙
The safest way - for both the animal and the handlers - is to stretch them out. (aragonalpacas has great pictures) The first year I had alpacas I helped a sheep shearer at another farm. The gal didn't want them scared (!) and sheared standing. One of them freaked and she almost lost an eye.
Shear on a piece of plywood and/or tarp and you can save the fleece.
Happy early Mother Day to all the mothers . I 💘 you all. Houston is a cute boy that can help you out with those adorable animals. Good work you guys ! I will always love watching your channel.
First off, big props to your father-in-law...great job at shearing!
@11:16, Rufus and his facial hair, looked like what Abe Lincoln would have looked like if he was a donkey poodle!
