alpaca

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wool producer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a pal upset about' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' becomes 'ca' (short for circa).
'pal' is an anagram of 'lpa'.
'a'+'lpa'+'ca'='ALPACA'

'shaggy' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
