Overview
- The couple had several alpacas sheared on camera and prepared them for rehoming, with shearer Kirstie saying shearing is safest for the animals’ health.
- Kelvin and Liz said they will get the alpacas checked, store the fleeces for future use, and then sell or rehome the animals.
- They framed the decision as part of a shift to breeds that work commercially on their land so the farm can generate income and become sustainable.
- Both Kelvin and Liz expressed sadness at losing the alpacas but said reclaiming grazing space was necessary for their farming plans.
- The changes were shown on ITV’s Fletchers' Family Farm, which has followed the couple’s transition since they bought a 120-acre Cheshire property in 2021 and is now in its fourth series.
