Additional Fees
Cancellation Within 24 Hours of Appointment
$50
Explanation: If you need to cancel, please notify us as soon as possible. Last-minute cancellations disrupt our schedule. We often have a wait list once we have finalized our schedule, so when we are given adequate advanced notice, we are often able to fill cancelled appointment times by scheduling in other farms. Rescheduling is unlikely due to our limited travel window between farms. If you can’t be there during shearing, that’s fine—we often work without the owner present.
Catching Fee
$25 per 10 minutes (first 10 minutes free)
Intact Ram (Uncastrated Male) Older Than 1 Year
$5 per animal
Matted Sheep Tail Shearing
$5 per animal
Explanation: Undocked tails can accumulate waste and become matted, requiring careful, time-consuming shearing to avoid cutting the skin
Sheep Specialty / Large Breed
$5 per animal
Explanation: Certain sheep breeds (e.g., Babydoll, Suffolk, Merino, Lincoln, Rambouillet, Blacknose Valais, Corriedale) are more labor-intensive to shear due to larger size, extra skin folds, or excess wool.

$15 per additional time we move our mats
