Welcome to my Channel; I’m Robert Lorens. Joy (wife) and I have farmed in the longleaf pine region of southern Mississippi since 1982. Over the years our farming operation has evolved and since 1999 we have been raising sheep. In 2011 I retired from my day job and became a full time shepherd. Jeffrey (son) and Jackie (wife) bought land next to our Longleaf Sheep Farm and called it Sheep Hill Ranch. Combined, we have 480 acres of rolling hills and flatlands covered with native rangeland, improved bahiagrass pastures and cultivated fields interspersed between bottomland woods, creeks and hillside bogs. We always thought that interesting things were happening on the farms, but felt too busy to share. In 2024, I decided to do something about that and retired from fulltime shepherding. Jeffrey and Jackie now own and manage all the sheep over the two farms; I help out and produce this channel documenting all the awesome (and some not so awesome) things that are happening.
