Trainee alpaca shearer Daniel sets out on his next life adventure

Trainee alpaca shearer Daniel Wall says the teaching and mentoring he received at Broomfield Hall has prepared him for his next adventure in life.

Daniel, who is 20, recently left 六合彩论坛 after completing his level 3 Agriculture course with distinction.

He is now working alongside an experienced specialist alpaca shearer near his hometown of Redcar, with his job taking him to聽alpaca farms all over the UK.

Shearing alpacas 鈥 unlike shearing sheep 鈥 is a two-person job, and at around 15 minutes per animal, it takes five times as long.

The shearing method is also quite different 鈥 alpacas have to be rolled onto their sides 鈥 and Daniel is grateful to Broomfield Hall for letting him practise his shearing technique.

He said: 鈥淭he Broomfield Hall college and facilities are lovely and my lecturers have been great. They helped me achieve the best grade I could. They never failed to teach us something new every lesson and gave us valuable life knowledge. I鈥檓 lucky to have had them teaching and mentoring me as they鈥檝e enabled me to start my next adventure in life.鈥

Daniel is keen to return to College to talk to students about his time there and has offered to help shear Broomfield鈥檚 alpacas next year.

As well as two 鈥渂rilliant鈥 college trips to the Zetor tractor factory in the Czech Republic, Daniel also listed the 鈥渢ogetherness鈥 of the agriculture students as one of the highlights of College life.

He added: 鈥淎lthough we were taught separately, students doing levels 1, 2 and 3 mixed with each other. Broomfield Hall felt like one big family and I think that鈥檚 important in an education establishment.鈥
