Sauron not interested
Eomer and Morsul both are right, and he's an argument to support your statements. Sauron only went to the Shire to find the ring, since that was where it was. Once he finds out the ring has left the Shire, we don't hear of anymore Black Riders, or Sauron's servants being around. Showing he had no care for the Shire he only went there to find the ring, once the ring left he didn't care for it. With Saruman it was quite different, he lusted for the Shire.
