Kevin Hickman

Kevin Hickman provides sheep shearing services out of Larchwood, Iowa, serving farms throughout the region near Sioux Falls. He works with flock owners who need dependable, hands-on shearing rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, and he's built his work around the rhythms of sheep husbandry across the upper Midwest and beyond.

His travel range extends into Kansas and New Mexico, and he shears year-round rather than sticking to a narrow spring window. That flexibility matters for producers managing staggered lambing schedules, wool quality goals, or herd health needs that don't always line up with a typical calendar.

For small farms and larger operations alike, having a shearer willing to travel and adapt to different climates and flock sizes can simplify planning considerably. Kevin's focus stays on the sheep themselves, working efficiently while keeping animal welfare front and center throughout the process.
