Alpaca shearing in Victoria Australia occurs once a year usually from October to December. Alpacas are dropped to their side, tied and stretched for safety of both, shearing team workers and animals.

Most fleece is then sent to the Australian Alpaca Fleece Limitid (AAFL) for processing. Australian products range from socks, scarves, jumpers, blankets, doonas and carpets.
