Full-Service Alpaca Shearing & Herd Care, On Your Farm
One professional crew. One visit. Everything handled.
No more chasing three different providers. No more stressing the herd. No more stacking bills. One professional crew. One call handles it all. Everything your alpacas need. Done calmly and professionally for everyone's benefit.
TopKnot is top notch!!! Seth, Jase, and Isaiah were professional, gentle, and worked together like a well oiled machine. They treated us, our animals, and each other with respect. Looking forward to next year.
Pick the Package That's Right For You & Your Herd
Every farm is different. Every alpaca has its quirks.
That’s why we try to avoid the “ one-size-fits-all” approach to alpaca care.
Whether you’ve got a small backyard herd or a full-scale farm, we’ve built service packages to match what you need. Nothing more, nothing less.
Every appointment includes a flat $180 Farm Visit & Biosecurity Fee.
This $180 fee applies once per farm visit. Not per alpaca.

Basic Shearing

Toenail Trim
Just need the basics? This package gets it done – cleanly, calmly, and without you lifting a finger. Our trained crews show up with everything needed, including our custom, 3D-printed tooth trimmer (no sparks, no stress). From gear-up to clean-up, we handle your herd with care and efficiency.
Better Health
Shearing
Teeth + Toenails
CD&T Vaccine
Dewormer
This is your herd’s annual health check-up – done right. Instead of juggling a vet, a farrier, and a shearer, we handle everything in one calm, efficient visit. You could pay well over $200 per alpaca for this care elsewhere. With Topknot, you get vet-level results at nearly half the cost, without the stress.
The Works 🔥
Everything in Better Health
PLUS Full Fall Herd Health Visit – second trip included!
Spring and fall care? Covered. No juggling appointments, no missed shots, and no surprise costs. This is your herd’s full annual wellness plan, handled by one team you already know & trust.
Most farms save $100+ per alpaca (or more) versus piecing together vet visits – and never have to think twice about scheduling again.
Spa Package ✨
Everything in The Works
Fly Spray
Lavender Spritz
Why the Spa Package, you ask? Because even hardworking alpacas deserve a little pampering every once in a while. This deluxe add-on keeps flies at bay, calms anxious animals, and leaves your herd clean, fresh, and stress-free – especially during high fly-pressure seasons.

Elijah and his crew delivered the absolute best and calmest shearing day I've had in 11 years! They handled the animals with care, took time to explain their process, listened to understand what was important to me and were flexible to meet my needs for shearing. Communication and customer service were excellent. Highly highly recommend.
We 3D-Printed a Smarter Add-On for Safer, Smoother Tooth Trims
The old-school grinders work… but they’re messy, stressful, and easy to misuse. So we made them better.
Our custom 3D-printed attachment upgrades the standard tool for safer handling, more precise trims, and a calmer experience for everyone, all around. Easier on the crew. Way easier on your alpacas.
Just one more way we’re raising the bar on full-service herd care.
Not Sure Which Package To Pick?
Most of our customers go with “The Works” option for its year-round peace of mind in a single decision. If you’re new here, that’s where we recommend you begin. 👍
