Loren Opstedahl

Loren Opstedahl provides sheep shearing services out of Union Center, South Dakota, serving flock owners across the western Dakotas and beyond. Based not far from Rapid City, this shearer works with producers throughout the northern plains region, offering a hands-on service that many small and mid-sized operations rely on each season.

Shearing is available year-round, with travel extending across Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. That broad range means Loren can accommodate ranchers and hobby flock keepers alike, whether they need a single visit for a small herd or ongoing seasonal work for larger operations spread across multiple properties.

For sheep owners in this part of the country, finding reliable, mobile shearing help can be a challenge given the distances between farms. Loren's willingness to travel across a multi-state area makes it easier for producers to schedule shearing around lambing, weather, and market timing without having to transport animals long distances themselves.
