Ralph Hagen launched The Barn in 2008. It follows the daily adventures and mishaps of a curious sheep named Rory and a sarcastic bull named Stan. The storylines mimic the everyday experiences of their human keepers.

Set on a farm, next door to a veterinary clinic, Stan and Rory usually spend time with the owner and vet, Brenda.

Ralph’s work has appeared in outlets such as Reader’s Digest, Saturday Evening Post and Woman's World. He dedicates The Barn to his biggest fan, his father.
