Matthew Gilbert

Matthew Gilbert provides sheep shearing services out of Ukiah, California, serving flock owners throughout Mendocino County and the wider North Coast region, including operations near Santa Rosa. His work centers on hands-on shearing for small and mid-sized flocks, a task that requires patience, physical stamina, and a calm approach with animals that can be easily stressed.

Gilbert travels across Northern and Central California to reach clients, which makes him a practical option for farms and homesteads that don't have shearers based nearby. This kind of mobile service matters most during spring and fall shearing windows, when flock owners need reliable hands who understand timing and animal welfare.

For sheep keepers managing wool production, health checks tied to shearing, or simply keeping a flock comfortable through warmer months, having an experienced shearer willing to travel can simplify seasonal planning. Farmers in rural pockets of the region often rely on traveling shearers like Gilbert to keep their flocks on a consistent schedule without needing to transport animals elsewhere.
