[@Lovelife10934]

Wow, I’m so glad that God put this on my KZbin feed! I so much would love to have a farm. I’m 19 years old. I don’t have any land right now and I know I’m nowhere financially to own own house and do farming and I am right in the middle of college on my way to do my career as a registered dietitian. I’m very excited to pursue my career in dietetics because that’s where I believe God’s calling me. But I also believe I have a passion for farming and wanted to grow my own food and providing for my family in such a way that I feel like God has to do something with that as well, I’m trusting God’s plan. God bless! So happy I found this video and channel.❤️🙏😊✝️✝️😊😊

So i am getting out of the military in 14 months and have been really obsessed with starting a sheep farm in Tx. Your videos have literally helped me build my confidence that I can do this. Thank you so much for helping everyone and doing this yourself. You are truly an inspiring human and I hope one day I am like you.

[@SaltyCowFarms]

canopy9396 start the BGBG program ASAP. Enroll now if possible. Overlap it with your ACAP, as they won't know about the BGBG as its listed as "for veterans" but it is not a VA sponsored program, so it's elected not selected. Battleground to Breaking Ground is the technical name for the program. Download and print off all of The Sheperedess' blueprints and outlines and take them to class. Between you and me, the class is garbage, just like everything the army picks up without a contract, but it will put you in a cohort with others and it brings the people who can help you, into one concentrated local. They'll help with literally every paperwork aspect of starting a farm in TX as a veteran.

Do it! I retired after 25 years and set up a 5 yr plan to start a farm without debt. I’m in year 3 and ahead of schedule. I’m so looking forward to stepping away from the city, working the 9-5 and moving out to our land and starting. Best of luck to you on your journey!

Hi Shepherdes I am Manjunatha watching your video, listening to you from a village near Bangalore, India. I am in my 60+ got un to farming post retirement from corporate job. I am a organic farmer, growing vegetable's , coconut and spices. I am in the preparation stage to start rearing sheep. I am highly impressed by your energy levels, enthusiasm and your ability to prepare detailed plan and execution of the plan and more importantly documenting and presenting your success Apprecite you for motivating youth to take up farming. I fully aggree with you that there is enough profit in agriculture especially animal husbandry when you plan and work the plan with dedication. I wish you greater success and wish more and more young ones get in to farming. 😊

As an Dorper farmer, I know allot about dorpers and what i have come across is that 80-100% of dorper farmers are millionaires! so dorpers are a good farming animal sores. but if you want to farm you have to have passion for what you do!

[@CalfandCloverCreamery]

Nice video. It’s interesting it seems like you discovered your main customer is other people online who aspire to be sheep farmers selling knowledge, information supplies etc through an e-business website. Even though you said you sell animals and meat on the website it sounds like your sales of other stuff like books, swag, supplies basically bring in more revenue and better profit margin return than the products from the animal ( meat ) would love to see a breakdown from highest to lowest sale revenues for each category (books, animals, swag, meat cuts etc to see how they rank among each other).

Just found your videos in the past week or so and have been watching a couple here and there. I'm finding them quite practical and helpful... I'm a single woman on 17.95 acres in Maine with a low mortgage, and would love to create a business that keeps me on the land instead of working at a tourist trap store in town. I can't do sheep, as my land is still too rough, but with your business plan in mind, I've been researching and trying to think of what I CAN do. It's been very encouraging, as for a long time I've been thinking "someday" and I finally feel like with your help I might be able to turn that into "soon." A topic I'd like to see you cover - taxes. As a person with no business background, the concept of learning how to pay self-employment taxes is extremely intimidating. Thanks for sharing your fascinating journey and for being clear in your testimony of gratitude toward God's provision. My guess on your break - getting married?
