Jim McRae

Jim McRae provides sheep shearing services out of Pittsford, Vermont, serving flock owners throughout the Northeast region, including those near Rutland. His work centers on hands-on shearing for small and mid-sized sheep operations, and he travels to farms rather than requiring animals to be brought to a fixed location.

Shearing is offered year-round, which gives farmers flexibility around lambing schedules, wool market timing, or herd health needs rather than being locked into a single seasonal window. This kind of adaptability matters for producers managing breeding cycles or trying to keep fleece quality consistent across a flock.

Because he covers a broad swath of the Northeast, Jim McRae is a practical option for farms that don't have easy access to a local shearer, whether that's a homestead with a handful of sheep or a larger operation with a full flock to manage. His approach reflects the kind of steady, on-site service that many small farms rely on to keep their animals healthy and their wool ready for market.
