TopKnot Alpaca Care always takes exceptional care of our animals. From handling them to shearing to teeth and nails, we know our animals are in good hands.
They make shearing day so smooth and easy for us. We have peace of mind knowing our animals will be handled with care. Matt and his crew took excellent care of our animals.
They also take special haircut requests. This year one of our boys got a mullet!
I would highly recommend booking your next shearing with TopKnot.
Why should you have to call a shearer, a vet, and still do half the work yourself… Just to get the basic Alpaca care handled?
That’s the question Pete had been asking himself, year after year.
He’d been shearing alpacas professionally for over 15 years, long before he ever owned one himself. And in all that time, he kept seeing the same problems: stressed-out owners, anxious animals, and no single service that brought everything together.
Shots from one professional. Shearing from another. Nails and teeth — if they got done at all — were often rushed or skipped.
With the desire to build something better, Pete started TopKnot.
Hear it from Pete himself:
“I wanted to create a world-class customer service business, and the avenue that God gave us was shearing alpacas.”
Topknot wasn’t built to reinvent the wheel. It was built to serve. To give alpaca owners a smoother, more professional, less stressful experience from start to finish.
Today, Pete and his crew travel across multiple states, delivering full-service alpaca care that’s calm, clean, and done right the first time.
Because for Pete, this was never just about the animals. It’s about taking care of the people who care for them.

What are we actually?
A professionally routed, multi-state alpaca care company.
Each season, we travel across multiple states, bringing organized, full-service herd care directly to the farms we serve.

Planned routes. Clear communication. Professional crews.
…and additional surrounding regions.
Don’t see your state listed?
Reach out anyway. Depending on the season and route availability, we may still be able to include your farm on an existing route.

Our gentle care and understanding of Alpacas lead us to use restraints and mats to provide the best care for the animals and the crew!
Wet Alpacas? No Problem. Yes, we can shear them. While we can shear wet alpacas, it can ruin a year's harvest of fiber. If the alpacas are wet when shorn, you'll need to keep the bags of fiber open to air dry.
Yes! We will shear up to 4 sheep if you have more alpacas/llamas than sheep.
Yes, and we can also administer shots for your goats as well!
Our home base is in Montana, but we’re a fully mobile operation. We travel nationwide to serve alpaca owners wherever they are. If your farm isn’t on our current route, we’ll help connect you with another shearer you can trust.
