It's been such a blessing to me to be able to rewatch these older videos. Not only is it helping my pain but it's reminding me how far you've come. Sweet baby Billy is the best. Thank you!
I stumbled upon your channel last week (i subscribed right away). I just wanted you to know that there are thousands of us here in the big cities ( i live in silicon valley, CA) that are now living vicariously through you!! I love your attitude, your smile and especially your down to earth personality. I know that we only get to see a small fraction of the work you put into your farm, but I just wanted you to know how grateful I am to get a peek into your world, on my lunch break every day. Who knew that the sheep-raising process could be so fascinating! Thank you for your videos.
I enjoyed this so much. I started watching 2 years ago after having major intestinal surgery. Your videos helped me get through it all. Now I anxiously await every new upload. You are a blessing to so many and your spirit lifts so many others. Thank you for sharing so many aspects of your life and family. Even though you think sharing chores will be boring, some of us live for the views and knowledge you impart. Keep being you and much love to you and your family.
I can see how very fulfilling and enjoyable to you caring for your sheep is. I did chores in a methodical way when I was on the dairy farm and observed the animals as I was working. Makes total sense to me. Great channel Sandi, always look forward to it ! Ken
The huge smile on your face during "curiosity" time shows your passion and joy for your flock. That was worth more than any words. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
Me also I felt so peaceful looking at the video also.And got a little emotional seeing them give birth.This lifestyle is so much the life I want to live one day
Absolutely love the lambs running around you in circles while you spread the bedding. Lol Your joy for this job and these animals is so evident which is 1 of many reasons I think the channel is really wonderful. I can't count sheep to help me fall asleep anymore because I keep getting distracted by all the romping lambs! Lol
They say that if you have a Border Collie breed, be prepared to keep them active and exercising. Boy, Kinsey always gets a daily workout. She's just so happy to be out there running around, getting in her laps. Such a wonderful dog.
Gosh that was a lot of work taking care of all these sheep 🐑 quite the eye opener ! This makes Sandi job easier and since I care very much about her I love this format from time to time . I loved “Curiosity Time” 😁 !
I never knew the bigger sheep were so playful...and to watch them jump was awesome !!! Thanks for showing us what you do for chores. You are truly a SuperMom....!!!
I remember, many years ago, lying in a field in Ireland on a glorious summer day. I was surrounded by hundreds of Ewes and their lambs! I was the only human among them. What a privilege! I learned then that “Baa Baa” was a human translation of the countless sounds being made that day! Conversations from every direction! I had never heard of ASMR then, but I experienced the effect! Love to you, Sandi!!
Judy Hart It was!! That and a large Ram asleep in the middle of a country road at sundown. It took us 20 minutes of coaxing to get him to (loudly complaining) move!!
Ive never watched an asmr video all the way through but this is the best thing. I found your channel a few weeks ago and I am hooked. I love how the sheep interact with each other and even the ewes still have time to jump around and play. Honestly amazing! Keep doing what your doing Sandi!
Sandi, I’m enjoying going back and watching your earlier vlogs. This vlog was very special. I loved hearing the sounds in the barns and watching the lambs in the finishing barn leap as they did when they were tiny lambs :-). I was a singer and also a harpist and spent 10 Summers singing the role of Princess of the Stars for Canadian composer R Murray Schafer. Murray coined the term “environmental soundscape” - which is rather like hearing the music in the sounds around us (forest, city or farm). Murray would create music out of the sounds he heard around him in the forest. He passed away over a year ago, but everyone who worked with him still misses him. I think Murray would have loved this vlog. Yours in Gratitude
Me again, watching this again! I cannot believe all that you do! It is a very good thing that you have long legs, Krista too! I can tell when you have favorite babies you just light up! So happy I am able to watch your channel, sometimes it makes my day!
You are full of such ideas and creativity these past few months! Keep up the amazing job Sandi! I'll keep turning my small farmer friends to your channel!
I want to thank you for this episode. I stumbled upon this one, never watching and AMSR thingy before. But today I've had an anxiety attack and everything hurts from it. This is helping me relax before bed so much better than I would have though
It's so heart warming to watch the lambs/ewes! I see your personality still comes through in the captions too! I think it's a resounding "US, TOO!" when you mentioned you liked to watch the ewes interact with one another! I never realized the ewes got frisky and play around like the lambs, I would have thought they'd grow out of it! Fresh bedding must be a fun experience for them
Go to tdf honest farming it's a dairy cow Channel. Through the winter they are in the barn because they don't want to go out and then when they're let out it is tons of fun. You would never think that these old girls were just love to Just Bounce Around
I enjoyed this video sooo much, but with that being said, your normal vlogs with your sweet voice and beautiful smile are exceptional! You are a pleasure in all formats! 😊❤️🙏🏼
Wow! Just realizing how much you do every day!! Yet you still provide great video posts. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your life!!! 💕
This is an amazing idea!! I am commenting before I watch because I know I will love it BUT I will miss your bright smile and beautiful voice. Perhaps a live cam feed for a few hours of the day, over seeing the entire barn, just an idea. I'm not much for asmr BUT if it were of the barn and sheep... I'd be all for it!! AWE , my favorite Lady helping you spread the straw!!! She's so awesome!!!
Love the live cam idea! I would definitely watch that all the time :) But it can be an invasion of privacy, and I guess if you're trying to film vlogs people watching the live stream will probably get spoilers haha.
@@AkkaVoskuil I would suggest the "live feeds" be on only AFTER her filming hours are complete, so no spoilers are done.... She can do no live feeds during certain periods, like lambing and such. It's just an idea in my head.
The problem with live feeds is they can be bandwidth intensive and ISPs tend to frown on that if you have a home account. They sock it to you if you go to a business account as well so.... :-) I would love it myself as well but I understand there could be quite a cost to that.
@@mramanya I think you're right, there are a lot of issues people aren't aware of to doing live feed. I think Sandi should just keep it simple and just upload a video when she's able. She's got enough work to do. Beakman 1802 had a nest cam in their goat pens and kept it going for quite a long time, but there were always problems and gave it up.
I missed your voice and smile today. I love watching the sheep and you work but your commentary makes the whole story complete. Love your sheep and lambs they are so cute when they bounce and run around. Thank you for doing videos without music.
I must say I miss your voice, but, on the other hand, to talk to the camera, prepare shots and do all the chores is a lot of hard work. You are to be congratulated for your continued hard work. Thanks a lot for all your effort.
its amazing how much work there is...i dont think i would survive a week in your shoes. major props to all of your daily hard work that you do! Love watching your content no matter what its about.
This is a fantastic change of pace as an addition to your regular videos. I loved watching "curiosity time." It's clear from the smile on your face how much you love your animals and your job. Thank you for the behind the scenes look into your daily chores!
I really LOVED this video. Last week the last of my sheep and goat herds left my property. It was so very nice to just hear the sheep and quietly follow you for chores.
This is just what I needed after a long hard weekend, a long video of silence of you showing us all the beautiful things about sheep. Super calming. Always love all your videos. It brightens my day everyday.
Definitely missed hearing your voice! Loved watching the lambs still with their moms, trying to get through to get some feed. Best part, the two sheep “photo bombing” the camera. It looked like they were ready to begin their own Vlog!
Great video but without you talking it made me feel sad for some reason. Just love hearing your cheery voice and seeing your beautiful smile but this gave us a good idea of all your jobs and the order you do them in.
You are such a hard working woman and dealing with that cold. I just can’t imagine living in that cold but come summer I’ll be ready for some cold air as I live in south Texas. Hugs sweet lady and God Bless
Funny when the mums are eating, the lambs know its zoomie time! 😂 I really enjoyed the video but I have to be honest, I missed your interaction/talking 😉 Thanks for taking us along Sandi! I hope time goes by quickly for you & Mark will be back with ya❣️❣️❣️ I have been married for 42 yrs, I would love the marriage vacation 😂🤣😂 but I would kinda miss the old fart 😉🥴 hahaha!
I do love when you speak actually. I love hearing all the progress of those mamas and babies, your thoughts, your organization... I love watching the wide angle of your barn when you feed your animals and they run around like if they haven't eaten for the past few days Great job
You have to love Kinsey's desire to help you. Anytime you look to struggle with anything, she's right there: wanting to grab the straw cart handle or race around the feed cart when you are frustrated trying to pull start!
Hmmm, I am not loving the fact we didnt see your smile or hear your voice. Perhap this came at the right time with your hubby leaving. The lambs are a joy to watch but part of the reason I watch is to learn and live your farm life through you 😉
I didn’t know if I would like the silent videos but I rather enjoyed this and even though I like seeing your smile and hearing your voice I appreciate these videos also...Kenzie made me laugh… She was just running around like it she had a purpose and you have a one on one with the sheep my heart melted
I really enjoyed this. No big explanations needed. Just watching you do chores with little words here and there for explanation. Just listening to the sheep do their bass. Playing with your fav babies. Nice. Relaxing
I have to say, I miss hearing you talk, and yes, your smile. This feels almost like a spouse being mad at you. The crunch of the snow was nice, and I never tire of the sound of sheep. Did this make your work easier?
Bonnie Campbell thank you! For reminding me where I remembered the silent treatment from! My ex didn't talk to me for eighteen months! Yeah not a fond memory! Ha
@@mr.b6374 Wow! That's way longer than my ex-husband! Honestly I hadn't thought of how many others endure the 'silent treatment.' Control & manipulation, narcissistic & cruel, are good reasons they are & become exes! 👍
Wow, you don't just play "Mary had a little lamb" all day, you do a lot of work! Between all that machinery and feed etc, those sheep cost a lot of money. I don't care for the machinery sounds, but you really hit the point of what you were trying to achieve at the bedding the lambs part. It was perfect! I loved when you zoomed in too. I could watch you bed the lambs for a long time and you have GOT to keep the little black and white! If you don't I may have to buy it to come eat the grass on my lawn! THIS is what we love about you Sandi, you're not just a farmer doing what needs to be done until the lambs are shipped off. It's your beautiful smile and interest in your flock that people admire you and watch you. Keep up the great work, you operate that machinery like a champ!
A day in the life of a lady shepherd. Thank you for sharing the monoughteny that you face every day Sandi. No wonder you look for outlets. You've got a hard job that demands so much of your time, but it shows your love and dedication. So thank you for sharing what you do with those of us who have often wondered what it would be like. Now we know. :)
Those little black sheep..I hope you keep them. They are so beautiful. I can't eat lamb anymore or even feed it too my pup. I'm in love with all of your lambs. ❤
Great video, the everyday noises in the barn. After a while you tune them out, but they are a necessity too. Because we both have some permanent hearing losses, we tend to wear earplugs or 'mickey mouse' ears, most of the time. That tends to stop some louder noise, and sometimes you need to hear it too.
It’s awesome to see a more complete picture of your day. We understand the parts quite well because we have been following your explanation but this was great👍
When I used to raise cattle and we took out fresh straw bales, the cows would go nuts, jumping and kicking like they were little calves again, burying their heads in the bale and just generally being happy. Thanks for showing me that sheep do exactly the same thing!!
I enjoyed the peace of just watching and listening. As a retire nurse, I think it is good or your soul as well, to just be still and enjoy your work without having to constantly be in the teaching mode. Rest your mind, my friend. God bless you.
Loved how they play! I am learning to appreciate how much effort it takes for you to “take us along” and set up the shots so we can “observe”. When you add in your voice descriptions, peppered with your 🧡 and smiles for what you do, it makes me 😃 !!
I love this! Perfect for chilling after a hard day at work! I keep telling you, if you feel like talking, talk. If you feel like editing, edit. If not, don't. I'll still be watching.
the sheep were so cute when they're running back and forth while you were feeding them it's like they had enough room to run back and forth.. happy sheep and they're taking advantage of the space.
This is my favorite so far. I love watching the lambs being born, the miracle of life and when they play. This video was so peaceful. It is so amazing the gift God gave you, in loving these gentle animals. Thank you Sandi for sharing your life and these beautiful creatures with us. 🥰🐑
Laura Harmour you never responded? I think your question refers to Sandi selling the sheep to market. That they will be sold for consumption. Yes I do know that. I love the taste of lamb. All meats actually. Domestic to wild. Lamb I have only had a few times due to the expense. I personally do not like killing for just sport. But to put food on the table for my family, I have no problem with it. I grew up on a farm. Crops and livestock.
Wow so much work to feed and bed them all! The captions helped, glad you added them. How did you like filming in silence? Seems like less work for you then having to narrate. Yet it also seemed lonely. Like when you are talking we are more present. I dont know just a thought.
😢 Never Knew I would MISS My Sandi 💉 FIX I ❤ 🐑 VLOGs but Missed hearing your voice today. like not being able to talk with my friend. Felt like my kids texting me while sitting on the couch next to me. Tell Silence of the Lambs Hosers to mute their Sound and Turn on Closed Caption Settings from now on 😂💜🚜 🐑🙏😀 P.S. Can we put electric remote garage door opener on finishing barn.. Save you min 100 times getting in and out of Bobcat every years.. You work so Hard anything to lighten the load and save time efficiency..
So agree Stephen Kennedy. Feels like I'm missing time with my friend. Totally miss your narration. If folks don't want to hear you they can hit mute! If this keeps up you've lost a loyal viewer. 😪
I like both types of videos! As a video creator, it’s always fun to try something new. Variety is the spice of life! Whatever Sandi wants to make, I’ll gladly watch it. She’s that great!
I enjoy watching the Lambs playful antics. They're so full of energy, wish I had some of it. I like this idea although I miss hearing you say what you're doing. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. I think a webcam in that barn would be a great idea. Just leave it on and let us watch them.
Liked this video and just all natural sight and sound GREAT!! but i did miss your smile and kind voice Sandi hope you mix it up thanks and god bless !!!!
Seems like you have a really efficient system. And boy howdy, those 7 week old babys are big . I didn't realize how fast they grow ... It's still fun to watch them jumping around. I really like the black babys , to cute .
I do videos myself and understand the job could be done in almost half the time if it wasn't for camera setup, so I appreciate the extra work that takes on your part. While I've worked with cattle and horses most of my life, just recently I decided to raise horned hair sheep, and while your sheep are a little different, I've found your videos very helpful.
My toddler was having a tough morning. I said "do you want to watch sheep?" And she ran to the TV and then cuddled with me while we watched part of this. Thank you. This little one never wants to cuddle!
It was wonderful to just watch the sheep being themselves! However I would miss you talking to us and your nice warm smile. So, come back and be our friend again! Thank you!
That was lovely. Thanks for responding to your audience request for this. The Q&A vlogs lately have been especially informative even though most of the information has been told before, for new viewers that don't binge watch from the beginning it is all new info. Billy made super cute babies and the interaction with you was fun. Thanks!
