Chuck Waterland

Chuck Waterland offers sheep shearing services out of Alzada, Montana, serving ranches across the tri-state region near Sheridan, Wyoming. Working through the seasonal shearing months, he travels throughout Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota to meet flocks where they are, rather than asking producers to haul animals long distances.

His work centers on efficient, low-stress handling of sheep during shearing, a task that demands both physical stamina and a practiced eye for animal welfare. Ranchers in this sparsely populated stretch of the northern plains often rely on shearers who understand the rhythms of range operations and can coordinate around lambing, weather, and market timing.

For flock owners managing anything from a small hobby herd to a larger commercial operation, having access to a shearer familiar with the regional terrain and seasonal demands can simplify an otherwise logistically tricky part of sheep husbandry. Chuck Waterland's seasonal availability reflects the practical realities of shearing work tied closely to the agricultural calendar of this part of the country.
