My name is Lexie Neff, and I’m a licensed taxidermist located in Holyoke, Minnesota. I am able to accept work from across the United States by using specialized taxidermy shippers to deliver your finished mount. 

Beause I love a challenge, I enjoy working on custom taxidermy and African species. I take pride in making each animal look as lifelike as possible. 

Growing up on a farm in central Minnesota and participated in 4-H and FFA livestock judging set the foundation for my study of animal anatomy. This experience, paired with lots of studying of live animals, videos, and photographs help me breathe life into each of my projects.

When I’m not in the taxidermy shop working hard on your mounts I can be found with my nose in a romance novel, or out in the woods with our Plott Hound, Bjorn. 

I compete in taxidermy competitions when possible. These competitions give me valuable feedback on my work, and the seminars put on by my peers teach new, exciting techniques. This knowledge is then used on your taxidermy, to make it the crowning jewel of your trophy room.
