What Customers are saying:

“Trevor’s wonderful shearing! He worked a tough flock of fatty Wensleydales, and then moved to do 3 big old boys. All this with efficiency, patience, and professionalism. His attention to detail in both technique and equipment was meticulous and his attitude was always positive. He was a real pleasure to be around. I think his work was above and beyond, especially with the “custom pony cut” for one of the pygoras.” – Kathy L.

“Trevor sheared for us yesterday. Lots of Shetland and Jacob sheep. I would recommend him highly. He stayed for dinner and charmed my grandchildren. Kind to the sheep but fast and efficient.” – Margaret W.

“For those of you searching for a new shearer, I highly recommend Trevor Hollenback of Hollenback Shearing. Trevor was professionally trained in New Zealand and it shows in his work. He will shear your valuable handspinning fleeces with great care. He is patient, considerate, and helpful to the shepherd during shearing. He is enthusiastic about shearing and all aspects of sheep and shepherding. Give him a try, and I promise you will be glad you did.” – Nancy B.

“Thanks again for all your help and making shearing fun for Sue and I.” – Eric B.

“Trevor was very fast and never stressed the sheep at all. No burns & very gentle. Sheep whisper-they never fussed or kicked. Very smooth and takes the wool off the sheep like blankets. I’m never shearing again. Very inexpensive-sooo with it! My sheep are happy!” – Susan L.
