Chuck Waterland

Chuck Waterland provides sheep shearing services out of Alzada, Montana, serving ranches across the broader tri-state region near Rapid City, South Dakota. His work focuses on sheep, and he travels a wide seasonal circuit spanning Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota to meet flocks where they are.

Shearing with Chuck follows the rhythms of the ranching calendar, with availability concentrated during the seasonal window when wool quality and animal comfort make timing especially important. This kind of mobile, multi-state service suits smaller operations and larger flocks alike, since producers often need someone willing to make the drive rather than haul animals long distances.

For sheep owners in this part of the northern plains, having a shearer who already covers Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota can simplify scheduling around lambing, shipping, or fiber sales. Chuck's route-based approach reflects how much of this work still depends on word of mouth and local knowledge of ranch locations and access.
