sheep rancher
Wool producer's occupation
A sheep rancher is someone who raises sheep commercially, typically on a large tract of land in the American West or similar terrain.
The term emphasizes scale and landscape—sheep ranchers manage flocks across open rangeland, distinguishing them from smaller-scale sheep farmers.
The sheep rancher hired extra hands for lambing season.
