Since 2001 I have been working hard to excel at the craft of shearing sheep. In 2008 I decided to go into sheep shearing as a full time job and I have never looked back.  I bring 20 years of on the job experience handling sheep, skirting fleeces, sharing ideas and connecting with shepherds all over the mid-Atlantic region and around the world.

 

MY Services

All Breed Sheep and Angora Goat Shearing

Crutching (Belly, butt and face trimming for sanitary purposes)

Consulting and one on one education. These are scheduled and priced on a case by case basis

I AM NOT A FARRIER OR FOOT TRIMMER. I will assist with helping animals in urgent need to be more comfortable, I will not be doing full flock foot trims anymore. I am happy to refer folks to hoof trimmers who service their areas and animals.

“I smell their wooly stink all day
And I hear them in my sleep;
Oh, I never knew what misery was,
Till I started herding sheep.

Its nice enough to tell the kids.
Of the big old horny ram,
The gentle soft-eyed mother ewe,
And the wooly little lamb.

It’s nice to have your mutton chops,
And your woolen cloths to wear,
But you never stop to give a thought
To the man that put them there.”
— By Curley Fletcher, from 'Songs of the Sage', 1931
