Will Kleinert

Will Kleinert brings mobile sheep shearing to Ashkum, Illinois, serving flocks across the broader Midwest region not far from Kankakee. Operating through WKleinert Farms, Will works year-round and travels throughout Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Kentucky to reach farms of every size.

Rather than shearing sheep loose in a barn, the operation runs a dedicated four-man shearing plant built into a trailer, an approach meant to cut down on dust and reduce how many times each animal is handled during the process. Will notes that this setup keeps sheep calmer and shearers safer compared to chasing animals around a pen, though he'll still work with farms that need a more traditional setup.

Beyond shearing, WKleinert Farms also serves as a wool buyer connected with Groenewold Fur and Wool Company, purchasing fleece from the flocks it shears as well as from other producers looking to sell. That combination makes it a practical stop for shepherds who want shearing and a wool outlet handled by the same visit, whether managing a small backyard flock or a larger commercial herd.
