Andrew Rice

Andrew Rice provides sheep shearing services out of Brattleboro, Vermont, serving flocks throughout the broader region near Springfield, Massachusetts. His work focuses exclusively on sheep, and he shears year-round rather than during a single seasonal window, which gives small farms and larger operations more flexibility in scheduling.

Rice travels beyond Vermont to reach clients across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, making him a practical option for shepherds who don't have a shearer close to home. This regional reach means he's familiar with different flock sizes and handling setups, from backyard hobby flocks to working farms.

For farmers managing wool production, flock health, or general herd maintenance, having access to a shearer who works consistently throughout the year can simplify planning around lambing, breeding, and fiber harvest timelines. Rice's multi-state service area reflects a working knowledge of New England's sheep-keeping community and the varied needs that come with it.
