Neil Kessler

Neil Kessler provides sheep shearing services out of Scarborough, Maine, part of the Greater Portland region, working seasonally each spring and fall throughout much of the eastern United States. His travel route covers New England and stretches down the coast through New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware into Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, making him accessible to flocks well beyond Maine.

Alongside sheep, Neil's background centers on alpaca and llama shearing, giving him broad experience handling different fiber types and temperaments on shearing day. He holds a college degree in animal agriculture and has years of hands-on fieldwork with small farms, working through a full-service process that includes scheduling and on-site handling.

For flock owners preparing for seasonal shearing, this kind of multi-species, multi-state availability can simplify coordinating a shearing day, particularly for smaller operations that need a shearer familiar with sheep as well as other fiber animals on the same property.
