Man you live my dream life I’m going to be 50 years old in less than four months and I’m still stuck in California I hate my life here I love your life you have found and have out-there

[HeartinessApproach]

I was happy to find your channel. My husband and I have the channel called heartiness approach. We have a milk cow and raise our own eggs and meat chickens and then layers. We want very much to have sheep but have not ventured into it yet. I was very glad to find your channel since you are a first time Shepherd and it can give me the courage and the knowledge to be able to start this process. I have subscribed.

Information is educational as always Steven. Really enjoyed the beautiful film quality of this video. New baby lambs are just precious, and the beauty of of it all came across in such a special way. Loved it!

[CharlesGann]

Appreciate your putting out this video.Good to see you able to transition from nets to two wire.Thinking of sheep but still timid. This is encouraging to move forward.

[unitedstatesdale]

A long way from La mesa.
We miss your epic produce.

You are great at this! Your videos are really some of the best! Thanks!

[jamespinckney]

Wow, just found your channel and you were in a backyard in San Diego. This is amazing to see :).
We raised painted desert sheep for a couple years. Though stubborn at times sheep are my favorite backyard animal.

[frankenz]

Great setup! Loved raising sheep, but it was nearer 30 years ago.

[holisticheritagehomestead]

Such a great video! We want to raise sheep, but still have more to learn. This was motivating. Thank you. Be well.

[thomasreto]

These videos you produce have fantastic content. This is exactly what I want to do with our new property (which is rented out for now)on 4 agricultural zoned acres in Hawaii. We are hoping to see you at the HOA conference in Frontroyal Virginia next weekend. 🌈😃🤙

[alisonkirton]

thanks Stephen 😊 always find your content super helpful! We just purchased our LGD puppy this week and will be picking up 5 pure bred St Croix in a few weeks as soon as we have finished our fence! We are doing woven wire perimeter with one strand hot wire to connect the paddocks like you are doing. We also have netting, but thanks for the warning about sheep getting caught! Will bear that in mind. We are new to this too!

Been following your channel for a couple years and just noticed you made an appearance on the Ozarks Legacy film… very cool. Love seeing my worlds collide and see that bears are actually everywhere. ❤thanks for your content. Keep crushing

I can’t wait to see how you set this up. We are working on getting our first sheep and learning how to do rotational grazing.

[ajoshmiller]

Thanks for sharing. I agree with you on the netting and danger to some animals. I had a 2-3 week old calf get caught in some poultry netting. Luckily I saw it happen and was able to get it out.

[nicholasmacinnis]

Sheep netting can be frustrating at times but overall I really utilize it and plan on investing in more. Works great for cattle too. Great video Steven.

[gvas]

So happy for you Steven. All your sheep look very healthy and happy.
Keep up the good work
God bless you

[meganwright]

What advice do you have for those moving and starting to farm in a new zone/climate? We will be in a very similar area. Do you have advice for setting up a homestead? Harvesting hardwoods? Etc.

[losnolt]

I’m thinking of getting a mobile ram pen like Justin Rhodes has and use it to move 3 or 4 sheep around my farm. Think that could work?

[ishaqmartinez]

I’ve always wanted to start but I didn’t know how to get started I live in a city and I am willing to learn and move off the grid to raise my own animals how can I get started ?

[MrJord]

You could buy a used trampoline. A friend of mine that keeps sheep uses those.
