What is your ideal shearing month(s)? If a month is not listed, there are no openings during it.
If you are lambing, when? For your sheep's safety we discourage shearing within 4 weeks of earliest due dates, while ewes are nursing lambs, and 1-2 weeks after weaning.
ex. Feb 5 - Mar 17
List specific dates/days of the week absolutely NOT available for you. Vacations, weddings, days you cannot get off work.
How many sheep do you have to shear?
It's okay if this number changes by a few before your appointment. Send us a message if this changes significantly between now and shearing.
What breed(s) of sheep do you have to shear?
This helps us estimate how many minutes/sheep during shearing.
How many times will the shearer need to move their set up to a new spot?
Moving set-ups to multiple locations requires more time and may mean an additional charge.
Preparing for Shearing

All of the information below can also be found on our website, www.yankeerockfarm.com, under Shearing - Preparation and Contact.
Sheep must be penned up near the shearing area the night before shearing.
Sheep must be dry to shear. If you lay a tissue on your sheep and it gets damp, they are too wet to shear.
Sheep must have NO food for 20 hours prior to shearing. They CAN have water but please remove water buckets from catch pens before we begin shearing. They will step in/knock over water buckets.
Shearing should be done in a clean, safe area. This means dry, well lit, mostly level, and where other animals won't run into us, kick us, bite us, or ram us while shearing.
We shear primarily with electric shears. We can blade shear and have one small machine that runs on battery.
We do not recommend vaccinating or deworming with shearing. This creates more stress for sheep, reduces medication effectiveness, and we've been jabbed with too many needles.
Pricing & Logistics
Our minimum charge is $150, so if the total charge would be less than $150 (ex. 2 sheep x $15 + $100 = $130) we will charge $150.

Flocks Less than 50 Head
- $80-100 set-up and travel fee
- $8-15/head
Flocks of 50 or More
- $70-100 set-up fee
- $5-7/head for adults
- $4-5/head for lambs
7/8/26 UPDATE: Due to the rise in gas and vehicle repair costs we are adding an extra $25 charge to all stops this season. Thank you for understanding!
If you need to cancel or reschedule, let us know as soon as possible.
If we arrive for a shearing appointment and sheep are not penned, not dry, and not fasted we WILL NOT shear. These conditions are too dangerous for sheep and shearer.
We accept payment via cash, check, and Venmo. We can invoice institutions that require additional paperwork after shearing is complete.
If you have questions or additional information we need to know, here's your chance!
Once you submit this form, you should receive an automated email confirmation. You will hear from us humans with potential appointment dates at least 1 month before your requested month.

If you book with another shearer and no longer need our services PLEASE let us know immediatley.

Thank you!
