Mike Schuldt has been shearing sheep for 28 years, and a grant through the Growth Through Agriculture program last November made his vision of a mobile sheep shearing operation a reality. Governor Steve Bullock and the Agriculture Development Council announced twelve agricultural businesses and organizations were awarded a portion of the $290,000 in grants through the program, which was established by the legislature to strengthen and diversify Montana’s agricultural industry by developing new agricultural produces and processes. Schuldt Services was awarded a $20,000 grant for a mobile sheep shearing trailer. The funds have purchased a gooseneck trailer with materials to construct a modern shearing trailer and a hydraulic wood press.
