At least 4 people. One to lead the alpaca in and hold the head during shearing. One to maintain tension on the ropes holding the alpaca stretched out. One to do the actual shearing. And another to gather up the fleece. For things to move quickly & efficiently with a small herd to shear, 8 is a good number. One shearer, one to hold the head, and another to manage the ropes. Then 2 people to bring the alpacas in & out, another 2 to gather the fleece, and one person to sweep up between alpacas.
