Four years ago, I launched this YouTube channel to chronicle what I thought would be a seven-year journey of someone going from no previous experience in agriculture to making a full-time job out of life in agriculture.
In year one, I highlighted the trials and triumphs of a first-time sheep farmer in a candid vlog-style format. I was determined to grow food for the security of my family and community, even if I never made a dime.
In year two, I highlighted what I began to uncover in terms of the dark, inner workings of the United States food system—inner workings that have, for the better part of 70 years, been squeezing the small farmer out of existence and putting our food system into the hands of just a few major players.
In year three, I focused heavily on encouraging new farmers to find unique market streams and ways to value-add if they, too, were venturing into agriculture as a career. At the same time, I celebrated how, through the same means and by the grace of God, I was able to go full-time into agriculture—in three years instead of seven.
Now, this put me at the beginning of 2024, wondering what was next for the channel. So I took seven weeks off to pray and ask the Lord where to go next:
And in 2024, He opened doors that I never could have opened for myself. Doors:
- To create content highlighting the importance of exercising our constitutional rights before they are gone for good.
- To obtain a media pass to one of the most significant court hearings for food freedom in 2024.
- To interview members of Congress who expose the Big Ag agenda at the government level.
- To assemble a visual picture of the global green energy scam and how regenerative agriculture is an overlooked answer to any legitimate climate concerns.
- To film natural disasters that show us why prepping is not just for the apocalypse.
- And to uncover facts that show how history itself is being rewritten to the detriment of modern-day.
I ended 2024 coming full circle with a series showcasing how, amidst endless waves of change, shepherding—that thing I committed to in 2020—abides as one of the most steady and durable professions a person can invest in.
And now, I am saying goodbye to you for seven weeks for the same reason I stepped back for a minute in 2024: to be still and be sure that whatever direction I barrel into next is the one I am supposed to be going in and not simply the result of moving so fast I can’t stop.
I want you to remember February 13th, 2025.
That is going to be, Lord willing, the date of my next upload here on YouTube.
If you have questions or video topics you want to see covered on the channel in 2025, comment below. I will put them onto my 2025 content spreadsheet.
And if raising sheep is on your radar for the future, I have a parting gift for you below: my new eBook for 2025 that will answer the question, “Where do I start when it comes to farming sheep?”
Thank you for your support in 2024.

I am retired as of this time 25 yes ago I was raising sheep as a hobby I had around 50 white face wool ewes breed them to a blackface ram. I lamed in Dec. Jan. to get a good price for them in June, July as fat lamb. only 2 months of the year that price was good. I enjoy watching your show thank you.
thank you!!
May God bless you for all you do. I know he will lead you to what you need to focus on next. I recently had a ewe die after giving birth to twins. For their first 2 weeks it was just easier to put diapers on them and keep them in the house. I would be sitting at my desk and they would be running around the wall between my office and the kitchen. In the kitchen they would realize that I wasn’t there. They would start crying for me. I would tell them that I was still in the same place and that they were the ones that had moved. I though God must feel like that about us often. He is still where he has always been and we are the ones that have wondered off (having fun just running around). We realize that we he isn’t in our sight and we feel lost and start crying out for him. He says, “Child I am right here where I have always been. Come back to me.” I know that you know why he is called the Good Shepherd.
This comment is such an encouragement. I so enjoyed reading about your lambs! Thank you 🙂
Thank you for all that you do. From purchasing the right sheep breed suited for one’s purpose to glorifying God in everything you do. Thank you so much for promoting Our Creator. He is Our Purpose. I pray that God will guide and steer you in the perfect direction of where He wants you to be and what He wants you to do. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
I’m very new to all the sheep business. We don’t have any land to raise sheep (yet). I’m going to ask my neighbor if we could buy an acre to start raising sheep. My purpose is to have milk and meat supply for my family and then for neighbors and friends to purchase. I don’t know how to hand spin as of yet, lol. The more I looked and read of raising sheep, the more interested I was to think about raising my own. I garden and grow several different vegetables and herbs for my family and friends. I work a fulltime job with an 11-year-old daughter that plays sports and my 18-year-old daughter that is in college. I hope and pray that I will have the time to dedicate myself into my precious sheep. Lord wiling, it will all pan out.
Sorry, this was a long message. Thank you again for what you do!!!
