Always a joy to see Sandi and her flock. My husband yelled from the kitchen Your favorite sheep farmer dropped a new one. My phone pinged. Lol and here i am.
This really is something that needs to be talked about. No one should fear saying they have emotional issues. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! Anyone out there...we are here for you!
I'm in the midst of a post partum journey right now. I just wrote in a journal, "When will my brain be back? " It really feels like I'm losing my mind.
Thank you for being so candid about your postpartum depression back when your kids were born. Talking about it is so important. Takes away the mystery and the stigma.
Those lambs are so stinkin' cute, I laughed & laughed all by myself! I'd forgotten how playful & curious they are. When the 1st 2 went up the ramp side by side, I was laughing, "They think it's the ark!" Then they all turn around & come back down again! Lol! Then someone tries to eat the back of your shirt! Just like my old life teaching preschool & trying to get everyone dressed to go outside to play! So fun to watch your lambs, but very physical to win! I love you Sandi, just the way you are! You are so smart, your heart is pure love for your family, your career, & your sheep individually! Don't listen to anyone who thinks you should be in any way different than who you are bc it just wouldnt be you & a world without Sandi in it would be a big loss!😊❣️
When all the lambs ran back out of the trailer it made me choke on a mouthful of coffee. Managed to not get too much all over me but just couldn't stop laughing. Thanks.
That just shows how well Sandie knows her sheep. I was so impressed that she immediately recognized that the little lamb had snuck out. The lambs are so funny.
I’m a lawyer and was reminded today of an old doctrine called “frolic and detour.” The sheep did a lot of frolicking and detouring today! It had to be tough on both of you, but it was fun to watch the activity! You have so much job security and handle it so well. 💖🐑
Omg Sandi, this group of babies is rambunctious! Holy cow! That was more like herding cats than sheep! And the biting, that seems like something next level in this group! Goodness!
It is not funny, but it is when all the babies come back out of the trailer!!! HILARIOUS!!!! When they all run in circles even more fun to be had! Always fun to see your posts and learning about farm life!
I just realized that I've been watching you and your lovely family for almost two years! I found your channel shortly before my son was born and he's going to be 2 in August! I remember watching while up all throughout the night when he was a newborn ❤️ I think everything you do is so amazing! Love seeing how passionate you are and how deeply you care for your herd!
Took the day off to finish planting my huge garden! What a pleasant surprise to get a Friday video! Any day with Sandi is a good day! So happy to know the scan was a success!
OMG...I can't tell you what a freaking inspiration you are! Don't EVER doubt YOU!! You are amazing, you work more in a couple hours than most of us do in a day! God bless you, Ms Sandi Brock! We love you out here so disregard the folks that criticize....if they aren't in your shoes at any exact moment, then they don't get it. You're the best, as is the family. And of course, all the pups are part of the family! Kinsey is a force to be reckoned with if you're a sheep. Lucy is Lucy...she loves stinky hoof trimmings (we bought cow hooves for our greyhounds...stinky breath, but lots of protein & happiness for them)! Then Piper...she's learning from the other two....you have 2 beautiful kids that love you & Mark, a husband that is amazing, & you, Ms Sandi are truly amazing!! And God bless Carissa....what else do you need? You got it all, girl! We love you!! Had to add...you are truly a wonderful partner for Mark...guess he realizes that...if not, smack him!!! Post partum is not to be poo pooed..God bless all women who have kids. Never had any of my own but my step daughter, grandkids & great grands are amazing! You have an amazing family & we really love being a part of your world. You got this, Sandi. Thanks for just being you....that's all that's required...just be you!
Post partum depression is nothing to be ignored. People who have not been through it do not understand it. It's worse when they tell you you have nothing to be depressed about. I'm sorry you experienced it.
Haha, I was thinking what a great little sheepdog Piper was until she messed up & made it worse! Your dogs are so funny. Also, thank you for sharing your postpartum symptoms! Even though I'm a Grandma now, I feel it's important to share for younger women that they are not alone. Grandma Kim❤
I used to find myself sitting in traffic after work, crying my eyes out. It was just after I had my first child. I thought it was because I didn't want to be back to work so soon and have him in daycare. After 2 months of that while sobbing once again, I looked around at other folks stuck in traffic and no one else was crying. I went to the doctor the next day. He very gently told me he thought I had post-partum depression. I felt so validated. I needed medication, and it was game changing. When I had my second child I knew what to look for and was able to avoid medication (because I wanted to nurse her at least 6 months) by easing my stresses and having a lot of support people around me. Post-partum depression happens to about 1 in 7 women and is often their first experience with depression. It can catch you off guard. The great thing is that there is help and we can help each other with this. Thank you for sharing your experience Sandy.
I'll say one thing for you Sandi, you are a hard worker. I do worry about your back when you are lifting those bags of seed or fertilizer. Take care, love from Mike. ❤
So happy to see Pita living up to her name! Have a great holiday, enjoy your time away, and just relax! You have worked hard to put a lot of great systems in place, so trust yourself! ❤❤❤❤
You're the same age as my daughter; she graduated in 1998, also! You have definitely found your niche in life as a sheep farmer, and Vloger. We appreciate your videos, and thank you for sharing your life with us!! God bless!!
Sandi, Sandi, Sandi -- it's me again with my annoying reminder to bend your knees when you lift -- anything, please! You will throw your back out and be no good to anyone if you don't start taking care of your back. This includes when you bend over the gates and lift something up -- bend; when you lift a bag of seed/grain -- bend those knees. It takes practice and awareness. Thanks for the history lesson -- so interesting to hear how you began this part rt of your life! Tks!
Yes, I agree with the whole back thing. As my Dad used to say "benda the knees, not your back" & he wasn't Italian. Aussie through & through. I watch Sandi & cringe when she bends or lifts incorrectly. It's going to come back & bite her one day, sadly. I hope it doesn't, tho. I've had to have multiple back surgeries over the last 20 years. It certainly taken its toll & I'm only 59, 60 this year. I can no longer work as a Nurse/ Midwife bc of it.
Love watching your videos Sandi. Thank you for sharing your struggles with Pnd. I too struggled with and post twin pregnancy & after my parents died. Great results for scanning🎉. Love watching baby lambs 🐑 doing zoomies.
The fans were good investment. I know it was hard coming up with that big chunk of money to do it but overall, I’m sure you’re looking back and saying I wish I had done it sooner.
Oh the best Friday! Love when a new Sandi video pops up. 😊 I can’t believe how big that tiny little peanut is getting! So crazy to see their transformations. Love your videos Sandi. Thank you for sharing with us. Stay wonderful!! ❤️🐑❤️
Hello from germany. I stumbled across your channel a while ago and just want to tell you, I love it. The way you guys work on the farm together and especially you and you sheep. You guys calm me soooo much. Don´t get me wrong, I know when the ewes have their lambs, iit´s stressfull for you and by the time lambing comes to an end, you could probably sleep standing up, but to me seeing the new babies calms me in the sweetest way 🥰 Thank you for showing how well you do what you do 😊
I'm old. I had to Google it. Pain In The A$$, in case there are others like me. I DID try to figure it out... For about 5 seconds and the frustration hit! LoL Thank you! 🐑 🎉 🐑
Those little lambs playing ring around the feeder, melts my heart ❤️ . But watching you lifting those big bags of soybeans, ouch Sandi you work so hard..Thank you 🐑❤️
I just had to watch today's video a second time and cracked up all over again! The lambs nipping at your butt, you getting them into the trailer with the ramp and as soon as you and Chrissa turn around here they come racing back down the ramp! And I love watching them racing from one end to the other and round and round the creeper! Joyful all the time!
Mark's a trooper dude. You both are! I've never seen people working so hard so consistently while being so cheerful and positive! Your attitude in life and your cute little lambs are what I love most about your channel and it really lifts me up to see it. Thank you for your encouraging presence!
When things get rough here with my special needs teens, I watch your videos and feel like I got a bit of a break and I enjoy it so much! Yay! More lambs! I love it!❤
Someday the boffins will have our neuroendocrinology all figured out. Until then, I think the only remedy is to keep busy. No matter what goes on in your videos, there's always something you do that I find amazing, uplifting, inspiring and I'm so glad I stumbled upon you. And it was quite by accident. Serendipity.
Well, learning little tidbits about your life. So glad I found your chair. I am a 76 year-old grandmother that just loves learning all about you and your lambs and farm life. Thank you for all you do.
At least you and Mark are seeds in the ground. We are so far behind I can see myself in the my rear view mirror. Too wet, broken or clogged field tiles, way it looks now we are going to either totally skip corn or plant just silage. Everything is behind, sheep shearer this weekend. That's 2 weeks behind. lambs got moved this morning into weaning pasture. Hopefully we get a break in Mother Nature's temper tantrum. Have a weekend Brock family. 🌾🌽🌞☀️
I love when you tell us stories of your past Sandi. It makes me feel like I know you even more. I can relate to another of your stories too. They may not relate to the same subject but, I could definitely tell you stories of my life that relate to yours. I'm so happy the scan went well and you're going to have lots of little lambs come August! I'm already praying for easy deliveries and healthy lambs and moms! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm also happy that Mark's been able to get some soybeans in the ground. I bet that's a huge relief. Mother nature has not been kind to farmers this spring. I hope the weather stays good for you both! Stay blessed Sandi!!! I love you so very very much!!! 💖🥰❤️🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You look after you sheep and lambs amazingly and wen people moan or say there not gunna watch you anymore because of where your lambs go off to. They should think about the big picture,theres people out there that breed there sheep and dont care about there condition and so on because there in it for just the money. I see it like your lambs have such a lovely start in life same as the ladies you keep which to me means so much more. Your such a caring women so a big thank you for taking us on your farm journey with you keep up the great work and dont let people get to you your doing a great job x
Hey, I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your post could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
I am really glad, that the nanny seemed to work better this lambing than last time. Seeing this babies running around the feeder was absolutely adorable! ♥
I went back to university during a divorce n 2005. I was 36, single mom of 3, getting out of a very abusive relationship, struggling to live mentally and physically day by day. Originally I was just determined to finish my bachelors degree. Found what I wanted to be early 2007. Started working my career fall 2008, 18 yrs later so happy I rarely look back at the hard times. Congrats to you!!! Funny how we had to get all grown up to then find what we wanted to be 😂
Days with the Brocks are the very best of days! Raining a lot in alberta which is good as we are already on fire down here I graduated in 76 so please feel young 😅
I have been watching you and your family for many, many years now. I love it when you talk about how you started on this journey. I feel like you beam when you talk about becoming the farmer you are today. Thank you for sharing it all with us!!
Forklift will definitely save your lower back! I've had three back surgeries, lots of physical therapy before, after, and in between. I have nerve damage in my left leg...did way too much heavy lifting on my own before first surgery. Lambs look wonderful, happy for the scan numbers!
Lambs look great. My husband say on is that your bauh bauh lady. Yes, it's Sandi and the bauh bauhs. After 6 years of watching this channel, he even knows the names of some of the sheep. Love the channel ❤️ 💕 ♥️
Thanks Sandi for another great video. I do not think people know just how much hard work goes into farming and sheep. You guys work so hard all the time. It's great when you can take a short break for yourselves. Glad the scan went well for you look forward to the newbies in August. I worked broilers for years it's hard work too, but nothing like you do.
Piper was amazing when she jumped out of the bottle baby pen and stood on the fence railing. She is so comfortable in the sheep barn. A bit too comfortable when she causes them to go the wrong way.
So rewarding watching your life. For some reason I love watching the sheep moving from one place to another. I'm so glad Pita and her friends are pregnant together. I can see why it is special to know some lambs more personally and watch them have babies together. Carissa and you just fit together. She is a big help to have on your sheep farm. It is cute to see a whole group become teenagers. You really love and take care of your sheep wonderfully. The phrase don't follow Luke sheep now makes more sense. Thank you for sharing your farm and family life with us.
Congratulations on your amazing scan!🎉🎉🎉 You've made such huge strides in your life, Sandi! You have so much to be proud of. We all have struggles. Thank you for being a light at the end for so many of us. 🐑 🚜 🐑 🚜 🐑 🚜 🐑 🚜 🐑
Mrs. Sandi, you are an inspiration. You are no joke about getting things done. Plumbing, Nanny, heavy equipment, farming, and are an absolute star in my eyes when dealing with your lambs. You are also a wonderful mother to your own children. I am in awe how you are able to do all of this. I love your videos and am anxious about when your new videos are available to see. I love that you call the lambs "ladies", and you always say welcome to the newborns. You treat your animals very respectful. The special names to certain lambs is so fun for us. Thank you for all you do, you are such a good soul.
Great Vlog Sandi... You & Mark are an AMAZING Family that works hard together to get the job done... GBY BOTH & YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ALWAYS 🙏❤️💙💙💖🐕🐕🐕🤗✝️

Ong I’m overjoyed to hear that you’re ewes are pregnant again. Roll on to the next lambing season. I know that it’s really hard work for you and Carissa but the joy on your face when they arrive makes it all worthwhile and it makes me smile the whole time I’m watching you x
Great scan result. So funny were the lambs coming back out of the trailer. Wow how Peanut has grown. Can't believe how hard Mark works, well you both work so hard. Thanks for sharing your PND.

It is so much fun listening to and watching you talk about the things you are so passionate about 💚 Thank you for being you and encouraging us to be the best we can be just by "knowing" you 😊
Your videos are amazing. I think they should be teaching tools, in our high schools. So many young people have no clue what farmers do. I ❤ when you are with your sheep.
Thank you for this awesome video!! I love love LOVE watching what's going on with the little ones I've seen since birth. Yes I like to see what's going on with the farm and so on but I'm all Sheepishly!! Much 🤍
