Melissa Higgins

Melissa Higgins provides sheep shearing services out of Coventry, Connecticut, working with flock owners throughout the region including those near Hartford. She travels across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont, making her services accessible to small farms and larger operations alike across New England.

Her shearing work runs year-round, which gives shepherds flexibility in scheduling around lambing, weather, and fiber harvest goals rather than being limited to a single season. This steady availability suits both hobby flocks and working farms that need reliable, consistent care for their sheep.

Farmers looking for hands-on shearing support, whether for wool quality, animal comfort, or general herd maintenance, can count on her willingness to travel to the animals rather than requiring transport to a facility. This mobile approach reflects a practical understanding of the demands placed on small and mid-sized sheep operations throughout the Northeast.
