How to Browse on the Marketplace

Filters that matter for finding the right livestock provider:

Species. Cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas. Many shearers and trimmers specialize across small ruminants but not cattle, and vice versa.
Service area and circuit. Many livestock service providers run regional circuits (e.g., spring shearing rotations). Filter by service area or by who's traveling through your region.
Operation size. Some providers specialize in commercial herds, others in small farms and show stock. The right fit depends on whether you have 5 head or 500.
Specialty work. Laparoscopic AI, embryo transfer, fitting for nationals: separate the generalists from the specialists upfront.

What to Look For When Hiring

Volume. A shearer who does 200 head a year is not the same as one who does 5,000. Ask. The work is faster and gentler when it's daily.
Biosecurity protocol. Especially for AI, pregnancy check, and any equipment moving farm-to-farm. Disinfection between operations is the difference between protecting and spreading.
Working facilities required. A good provider tells you upfront what they need on your end: chute, scale, lighting, headlock, restraint. Surprise field veterinary is rarely good veterinary.
Honest pricing. Per head, per session, per day, per acre, or trip-fee plus per head. Get it in writing.
Working relationship with your vet. Some services (especially AI, ET, surgical work) are veterinarian-only by state law. Confirm scope.
