Sheep Ranching in Montana, 2004-2005, 2013

Physical description:
2 boxes; 97 prints
Scope and content:

Series explores the intense work of sheep ranching during lambing season, with photographs taken by Chatterley near Greenough, Montana, United States, in the spring seasons of 2004 and 2005. The series focuses on rancher Judith Faye "Pachy" Burns, who ran the operation with the help of friends, daughters, shearers, and a migrant worker family from Perú. The photographer's own niece was also helping out at the time the series was shot. Pachy Burns passed away some years later. After her death, Chatterley visited her daughters, Bluesette Campbell and Piney Hardiman, and their father, in Red Lodge and Scotch Coulee, Montana, in 2013; there he took six more photographs, and recorded oral histories concerning Pachy Burns, her family, and her life as a rancher.

All of the 97 black-and-white selenium-toned prints measure 16x20 inches. Captions were created by the photographer.
