Richard Hawthorne

Richard Hawthorne provides sheep shearing services out of Hartford, Wisconsin, serving flock owners throughout the broader Milwaukee region. His work centers on hands-on shearing for small and mid-sized operations that need dependable, seasonal care for their animals.

Hawthorne travels beyond his home base to reach clients across Wisconsin and into Illinois, making him a practical option for farms without easy access to local shearing help. This regional reach means he often works with a range of flock sizes, from backyard hobbyists to larger established operations preparing for wool harvest or general herd maintenance.

For shepherds managing breeding cycles, wool production, or simple animal welfare needs, having a shearer who travels and understands varied flock conditions can simplify seasonal planning. Hawthorne's focus remains squarely on sheep, and his willingness to work across state lines reflects the kind of flexibility many small-scale and rural producers look for when scheduling shearing around lambing, weather, and market timing throughout the year.
