HOW I BUILT A $100K FARM BUSINESS IN 3 YEARS (Step-by-Step) | Ranching Profit Sheep Farming Dorper

🔸"11 QUESTIONS" Business PLANNING WORKSHEETS: bit.ly/11PlanningQuestions
In May of 2020 I had the desire to farm for profit. I had no industry connections, no farming background... I did not even own any land!
3 years later, by God's grace, my farm business grossed a little under $100k within one calendar year. This is farm business only, not media income. This is a simple business model that anyone can follow... and it does not require thousands of dollars in expensive advertising.
In this video I outline the 3 year process of building and promoting my sheep farm business on 23 acres. I hope that a look at my thoughts and strategy help you do the same for yourself!

About this Channel: This channel chronicles my journey as a sheep farmer from the very beginning. My primary occupation is in business management. In 2020, I discovered the principles of regenerative agriculture and embarked on a journey with the end goal of building a profitable small farm on 23 acres by 2027. Thank you for joining the journey!

Think big, start small. Dont quit.
👍🏻👍🏻
I feel like I've read that somewhere
Great slogan
yeay ❤
OH I LOVE THIS QUOTE I'm gonna put this one on my fridge!!
I haven't even listened to the whole video yet and I'm impressed because she honors God for her increase. Way to go, young lady! We must credit where credit is due. 😇
I love how u give God the glory for your success, Praise Jesus
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.
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!
Respect for not making this into a course to buy. Someday I plan on starting small part time then one day be able to support myself with my land and sheep
We launched our farm business today and this video could not have been better timed for us! Thank you so much for all you’ve taught us over the years. God bless you!
I am so grateful!! It’s comments like this that really keep me going. 👏🏻
Can you give an update? 😊
I felt the calling to be a good steward of land that wasn’t being used. I retired from the military in Oct 2016. As of today we custom graze over 400 cows in a cow/calf operation. God has done it all. I just showed up every day.
Wow. What a great testimony!
This info is pure gold... I have learned the hard way for many years and this gal has opens my eyes to how shallow minded I am , thank you lord ! For this sheperdess !
Our farm was purchased in 1914 and I am the 4 generation to farm it but it has been leased and ran down for many years. Thanks for the video. Now it is my turn to turn this place around and make it start making money
We're closing on 55 acres in Eastern Oklahoma. So excited to do this exact same thing. Starting from scratch too.
Anyone thinking of what they want to do in life. I suggest following this Shepard to learn more than most Universities teach in four years. Very specific and knowledgeable on what it takes to succeed. Her spirit is flowing and you do not need to make 100K. However your focus on what makes her talents shine is GOD based and we need more Shepherdess like her.
Ive been watching you for awhile now. You are an amazing young woman. It was a blessing to me to hear you give the Lord the Glory. I know you have only begun, the sky is the limit for you. M.
Proud of you, Little Sister, for your success, but mostly for your faithfulness! Blessings
Thank you so much for all the videos. I've been studying and taking notes for the last week going through your channel and its been incredibly helpful. Starting our business later this year in central California. God's put it on our hearts to try to bring life, community, and common sense back to our broken state, please pray for California.
God save our decrepit state. Modesto.
Hey shepherdess, shalom. I'm Dezmond from Nigeria, I'm just starting out as a Shepard and you keep inspiring me each day. I already ywi sheep, a nale and female. They're both a Nigerian breed called Uda, they are tall, dont make much wool but lots of meat. B'ezrat Hashem ill be increasing my flock next week probably to 10. Thankyou so much, and much love from Nigeria.
It’s always great to see someone stick to a plan. Great job!
Been watching your videos for awhile. We bought 100+ acres in east texas last year and trying to figure out what we are going to do with it. You are amazing!
Ill say again youre amazing. I thank you for continuing here where we can learn freely.
I really hope it helps! Thank you for supporting by watching and commenting.
You are a ROCKSTAR! Thank you for the gratuity that you show to your followers! Blessings!
Grace, I'm so proud of you! Watching you grow has been such a joy. Thank you for sharing your information with all of us❤
Julie, you have been a huge encouragement and feel like a sister!! Thank you!!
@@theShepherdess I feel the same! 💜
I've been planing to start a small quail project but I've been doubting it could work, somehow this video inspired me to give it my best shot, and maybe I will one day start a sheep farming project. Congratulations on your success
Proud of all you are doing!!! Keep on Farm’n!!! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Way to go Grace!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations on all your hard work and for sharing your path to success.
Thank you so much, Genesis!!!
Can I work with you on the farm because I love raising animals
I have loads of respect for you and what you are doing and creating!!! You didn’t have to give out any information. To me, this is creating partnership, not competition. Which is such an amazing thing living in this world now.
Thank you so much for being a part of the past 3 years! I look forward to seeing you again on June 15th! To stay in touch in the meantime, subscribe to my newlsetter!: bit.ly/ShepherdessNWSLTR
Say"EH WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS WITH A CROWN OF THORNS! OH WAS TO THE LEFT AND UH RIGHT. PEOPLE FROM ANOTHER PLANET ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER EARTH WITH CIRCUMCISION AND EARRINGS! GOD WAS CIRCUMCISED"
I tried the link to your Instagram account but it didn’t work. 😢
@@kl4888 Thanks for the heads up! This should work: instagram.com/harmonyfarms.dorpers/
Sheperdess, do they make you vax your animals?
Yeah I hope she can answer that because they are putting the “stuff” in all the vaccines according to Newsmax, Stew Peters, the scientific researches and whistleblowers he interviews...no vaccines are really ok anymore
Going on a mission trip I imagine. Quality of your content is top notch, you’ve definitely got the formula.
Inspirational! I suspect you'll be on another learning adventure. Talking with people, maybe at a gathering or convention? And travelling to pick up more premium stock 🤗 Thanks for moving the rest of us along!
So happy and proud of you!!! Love your energy!
Wow Grace! This is so impressive and so exciting!🎉👏 Way to go!! You are a huge inspiration!
Thanks, Joshua! 😁
I'm so jealous of your easy fence moving . I'm picking up netting and carving my way through briar thickets with loppers to reset netting. Oh the tangles, thorns and tears! I have goats and goat quality woodlands that I'm trying to tame in time.
Last year i started to build a farm from scratch. This year i purchased sheep. Currently getting set up for strip grazing. Staying focused on the task is the only way to truly succeed
Just found you and super thankful! Raising and selling sheep for profit is my dream. As well as creating a sustainable small farm. Annnd I also am a Christ follower and love how you give thanks and glory to God. Thank you for your servant’s heart❤️
I'm glad I found your channel, sister. ♡
Just started looking at your show and loving it already keep them coming
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm still looking for Dorper sheep to put on 1.5 acres. I've really enjoyed your videos.
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?
Thank you so much for this comment!! I was really encouraged by it. I’ll take your video recommendation seriously!
Congrats, girlfriend! I know your plan didn't include 2020, a drought, and all the other things that have popped up! You are awesome!
You really inspired me to really dive into ranching im using sheep and goats. Trying to restore 63 acres.
Thank you for putting these together! Our white Dorper just had her lamb this morning.
Love your videos! They inspire me to keep going in the field of farming! 💛
Thank you, Hannah!!
I really enjoy your videos like this. Videos like this give people hope. People need more sources of positive energy today.
Keep up the amazing work. Thank you so much for helping others follow your path and sharing your knowledge
The best thing you sold was You! You did such a great job at branding your business.. bravo.. I have 53 acres and would love to have a few of these sheep.
Love watching your videos and looking forward to using many of your suggestions on my place. This episode does point out one item most people don’t talk about. $100,000 investment and a return of $30,000 means $100,000 or pretty close to that is invested first. Farming is very cash heavy investment. The challenge is to come up with the $100k will be the hinderance to most people.
I seriously appreciate the insights to this and believe this can apply to farming in general. Ducks are somewhat similar now that I look back at the first year.
Wow this is so helpful! I just recently found your channel and I am so proud of how far you’ve come. God Bless you sister. Wish you the best
Love your attitude, and I’m sure that this will encourage others to try this journey!
You are very clear with your words and your business strategy. Thank you. The world is lucky to have you.
This is a really huge encouragement! Thank you!
I found this video by accident, but I’m glad I did. We don’t know each other but let me say, in all sincerity- I am proud of you for what you took on and having the determination to see it through. Makes me feel good for the future. May God bless you richly.
Wow...my wife and I are looking at homesteading for a change of pace and slower lifestyle but the entrepreneur in me can't help but see all of the business opportunities in this space. This video is REALLY helpful, thanks!
Enjoyed the video! I'm based in Portugal and am currently breeding kunekune pigs and have funnily enough been looking at adding dorper sheep as my dad used to breed them years ago in South Africa.
Great video, continued blessings and success!
Been watching since the beginning. Congradulations your an inspiration.
You are a great support! I don’t take it for granted… THANK YOU!
Wow, your perspective of “only God gives the increase “ doesn’t guarantee success but surely sets you up in the best position for it. God bless.
Thank your for sharing your story!!! I'm just now seeing your channel and I can't wait to follow alone!!!
Your very passionate and energetic...Your enthusiasm and knowledge is encouraging.....I wish all the young people had your drive for life
So smart and humble, thanks for sharing your beautiful faith. God bless
Kudos! What a fantastic journey!
You are awesome and encouraging. Stay strong and God Bless
Great video! Very inspiring! One day, Lord willing, I want to have my own farm too! Don’t know when that may be, but hope it’s soon! Can’t wait for June 15th!🙌
Thanks, Jeremy! Your encouragement always means a lot. Keep up the great work!!
You are an “angel” sent straight from the heavens above!!! God says the same ,I will be up and running by the time you are ready to sell your next ewes !!! Thank you so incredibly much for all you are doing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your encouragement!!
Thank you so much, I really needed to hear your message of don't quit today. God bless you.

You done great! ❤
Your story is so inspirational. Thank you so much for your content.
Thank you, sir!
Well praise the Lord! Looking forward to hearing how year four goes. I’m planning on getting a few sheep next spring, so I will have to check out your videos this winter as I haven’t raised sheep yet. Thanks for the video.
A very well thought out video. Thank you! I also appreciate you giving all the glory to God, He is most certainly our provider!
Thank you for the helpful info! Sucks that so many entitled brats comment critiquing everything you say and do. It’s so cool that you’ve found so much success and are willing to share tips/resources! Hope you had a nice break 😊
I wish you all the success and prosperity in your work and the enjoyable journey that you share with us. This work deserves to be placed in a beautiful book under the title How to Be Successful in Your Work. You really put forward a lot of good ideas and mistakes that can be avoided by anyone who wants to enter this field. Good luck to everyone and may God bless your livelihood
All i can think about is becoming a rancher now. Thank you for helping.
Inspiring. Thank you. God’s grace ❤
This is impressive, I am starting this with a totally different, everything. Totally different local topography, totally different previous pre-AG work background, and I'm a 6ft 160LBS grunt male. If I wasn't being forced to open my own slaughterhouse to not get stuck in backlogged killing queues I'd be farming livestock now. But I definitely won't balk in the face of the challenge ahead.
Where ya at John? Commercial or private slaughter? We need more quality houses! Best wishes. You can do it!
@@heirloomn.heritage7004 big as I can go. After I get thru my second post secondary AG course needed for such an undertaking.
@@heirloomn.heritage7004 ah, Vancouver Island.

Excellent work of an entrepreneur and congratulations
LOVE this video! Thank you! We are getting started in Oregon and would love to connect with you.
One day I’m gonna meet you face to face. I absolutely love what you do, and I’m working to do the same.
Amazing congratulations. Awesome information here.
Super helpful, thank you for doing what you do!
God Bless you. I was worried about the next generation (and still am)…but young people like you gives me hope. Base your life in the one and only God, and He will bless you through the hard, hard work, trials and joys are part of life.
Thank you from France.
Wow! My way of thinking was way off! I always thought: Think small, don't start, can't quit... thanks for sharing!😂😂
congratulations on your important work. you are FABULOUS!
I love your humility!God does give the increase
Grace excellent, god bless you 🙌
Good job Little Gracie!
