Lance McTaggert

Lance McTaggert provides sheep shearing services out of Newell, South Dakota, serving flocks across the western part of the state near Rapid City. Working directly with wool producers, he handles shearing for small farms and larger operations alike throughout the region.

His work centers on the practical needs of sheep owners in the Black Hills area, where flocks often require seasonal shearing ahead of shipping or lambing schedules. Shearing done well protects the health of the animal, reduces heat stress in warmer months, and keeps wool quality intact for producers who depend on a clean, usable clip.

For ranchers and small-scale keepers around Butte County and beyond, having an experienced local shearer on hand simplifies a task that takes real skill and a steady hand. Lance McTaggert's shearing work fits into the broader rhythm of sheep husbandry common to this part of South Dakota, where wool and livestock operations remain a familiar part of the landscape.
