Counting Sheep Shearing

Counting Sheep Shearing provides sheep shearing services out of Mineral, Virginia, serving flock owners throughout the central Virginia region near Charlottesville. The team travels widely along the East Coast, working with small backyard flocks as well as larger commercial operations that need dependable, seasonal shearing done right.

Their work centers on hands-on fleece removal for sheep, a task that keeps animals healthier and more comfortable through changing weather while also producing usable wool for spinners, fiber artists, and farm shops. Shearing on this scale requires patience, a calm hand with livestock, and an understanding of different breeds' fleece types and growth cycles.

For farms preparing for lambing season, wool sales, or general herd upkeep, having a shearer willing to travel the region can simplify scheduling considerably. Counting Sheep Shearing's regional travel range means shepherds from Mineral to neighboring counties and beyond can plan shearing days around their flock's needs rather than a shearer's limited local footprint.
