Will Kleinert

Will Kleinert provides sheep shearing services out of Ashkum, Illinois, serving flocks across the Kankakee area and the wider Midwest region. Working year-round, Kleinert travels throughout Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Kentucky to shear sheep for farms of varying sizes, from small hobby flocks to larger commercial operations.

His setup includes a dedicated shearing trailer, a design meant to keep the process calmer for both the animals and the crew by limiting how often each sheep is handled compared to a typical barn pen. Alongside shearing, he also buys wool as a representative for a regional fur and wool company, giving flock owners a straightforward option for moving their clip after shearing day.

Rooted in a family farming background, the shearing work runs alongside other agricultural operations based in Ashkum. For shepherds in Illinois and neighboring states looking for consistent, scheduled shearing tied into a working farm operation, this is the kind of service built around practical, on-site flock management rather than one-off appointments.
