SHEARING SERVICE
I offer professional, reliable, cost-effective SHEEP SHEARING throughout Massachusetts & New York, and in parts of Connecticut, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

 I only shear sheep, and I shear only sheep
  • For other sheep services, try the American Sheep Industry website for assistance.
  • For services for other livestock, try the UMass Agriculture, Food, and Environment website.​
As of the Fall of 2024, I've sheared more than 200,000 sheep, each year shearing more than 15,000 sheep on close to 500 different farms/properties.

I provide RELIABLE, SAFE, and COST EFFECTIVE shearing, while creating as pleasant an experience as possible for shepherds, sheep, and shearer alike. 

You can expect me to:
  • ​​arrive on the day and at the time scheduled (or to call if something keeps me from doing so);
  • use clean, properly serviced tools;
  • keep my focus on the sheep I am shearing
  • handle sheep with care
  • communicate consistently, clearly and courteously at all times 
Picture
You'll need to:
  • provide a clean, flat, wood surface on which to shear. For the safety of your sheep and myself, I do not shear on tarps or concrete surfaces;
  • provide access to an electrical outlet in the shearing area My shearing tools require electricity to run.
  • ensure sheep and shearing area are dry.  For the safety of your sheep and myself, I cannot shear wet sheep or on wet surfaces;  
  • ​keep sheep off feed for 12 hours prior to our scheduled appointment.  Full bellies compromise the comfort and the safety of sheep during shearing;
  • arrange to have sheep in close proximity to the shearing area;
  • arrange for adequate help for a steady flow of sheep into and out of the shearing area, and for the collection of fleece you intend to keep/use;
  • provide an accurate count for shearing prior to my visit.  Scheduling well helps me keep costs down, but it also means I often don't have the flexibility to accommodate last minute changes in job size. If count changes between scheduling and shearing date, PLEASE text or call ASAP.
  • pay in full at the time of service.  I accept cash or check only'
  • call, text, or email if you have any questions or concerns prior to or after shearing
