Everything stops when Sandi drops (a new video!) You remain my favorite utuber. I love the lambs and lambing but I love everything else you film, narrate and create. Thank you for being YOU!👩🏻🐑🐏🌾🌱❤🚜
Very much so! I can be watching another video from a different content provider, but Sandi wins! I loved meeting 2 new family members! I'm so glad they took the time off to be together. These are the memories that'll stick with them when times are tough.
I completely agree!! And you’re right. Everything stops for me also when a new video drops. She’s definitely my very favorite RU-vidr. As much as I love Sandi’s channel, I would never ever just show up on her property. Whoever did that should learn boundaries!! Not cool. I pray no one else just drops by because I don’t Sandi to close her channel down.
Congratulations of making it as a local supplier for lamb Sandi, you have worked really hard for this. Here in our local area a group of farmers joined together and went in together to buy some of the bigger equipment, it made a huge difference to the planting and harvesting every year since. Because they share the costs it’s not such a drain on any one of them and they get the extra helping hands with each other. Your so lucky, I still miss my Mom this august will be 12 years since I lost her to cancer, but so thankful that we got to spend the last years together with Dad as a family. You all looked like you were having a lot of fun together 🤗🤗🤗
I'm sorry for your loss and so glad you took the time to make lasting memories while you were together as a family. It was lovely seeing Sandi get to spend time with them.
I miss my mom too! All of my brothers and sisters called our mother -mama. She sadly passed away (9 yrs.ago at 85 yrs old ) in the nursing home and there is not a day that goes by where I find myself doing things like she did and thinking about her and the lovely phone calls we had together!😢❤😊
I am always happy to see when you drop another video! Please enjoy every moment you have to spend with your family! My mom passed away at 94 years of age and my sister died three weeks later. It’s been a rough go to say the least however, I have a brother and sister that I try to spend time with as often as I can. It’s great to see that Jess is doing well and that she and Jack can pop home for a weekend here and there. Praying for your planting season to be successful and bountiful!
Please check out the Savanna Bananas! They are a baseball team that is kind of like the Harlem Globetrotters as basketball players! Just ask any local about them, look them up online so you get a clue!
I am a daughter, daughter in law, wife, and mom to all agriculture college majors. Sandi, I write this out of love for you and your dedicated work to the ag industry but mostly to you because you are such a sweet person, worker, and mom who has done so much for others, please wear sun screen while working outdoors on your face, lips, and exposed skin. I am constantly reminding my guys to wear sunscreen. My dad got skin cancer on his head and face and hands. He had lots of treatment and I think you are fair skinned. I just want you to be safe. I love ALL your videos but mostly your lovely family and you. You guys are so devoted to giving yourselves to a greater cause and I just don’t want anything to happen to you. Take care and blessings on you and the family as you keep on doing what you do best…..farming!
I agree with the suggestion for Sandi to wear sunscreen outdoors. My mom always had a garden when we were growing up and many years after. So she was outdoors a lot caring for the garden and many flowering plants. She never wore sunscreen. She did get skin cancer on her face. Fortunately, it could be removed and cured. Even Sandi riding in the machinery in the sun for hours can affect the skin most probably. I have been getting dark spots on my left side of my face with sun hitting it while driving. The other side has no spots at all. It's better to be cautious and wear sunscreen.
Yes, dear one, and don't sit on the tractor for hours and hours without moving.... stop once in a while to prevent blood clods/ tromboses!!!! We love you so much❤ please, take care of yourself too❤❤❤
Sandy, you 100% do not need to apologize to the individuals that don’t understand unique needs of the industry. You do an outstanding job explaining everything and never lack in doing so.
Sandi, I bet your mom was thrilled to spend a weekend with her girls. My mom died a year ago yesterday and I would give anything to go on one more trip with my mom and sisters. Your drone footage is great. It really gives us a "bird''s-eye view" of y'all farms. Both sheep and fields. Love your footage.
I'm sorry for the loss of your Mom. I hope you have some wonderful memories of her that you can pull out and reminisce with the rest of your family. My Dad's been gone since 1980, so almost 44 years now. It seems crazy at times. It still feels like it just happened, and at other times, it seems like it was forever ago. Mom is 85 now, and she'll say, "I'm just about ready to go and be with your father. I'm missing him awful." We tell her how much we'll miss her if she leaves us! It's been wonderful having her here with us for so many years, but it's made me realize how much harder it'll be to lose her. I've come to the conclusion that I'd better use the time we have left with her wisely. It's all we CAN do because you can never truly be prepared.
Sandi, your family is absolutely adorable! So glad the girls got some valuable time together. Kudos to Peggy for getting her pilots license. Your Mom raised some strong women!!!!
Now I don’t feel so stupid! I, too, at first thought you meant real room renovation tiles and I said to myself “boy that Mark fella sure is a dandy handyman who not only farms, he does his own house renovations!” He’s definitely a “keeper”. Well after a bit of waiting to watch his tiling project I finally figured out that tiles meant something different. He’s still a “keeper”.
We all get educated eventually and Mark is super talented, check out all the work on the cabin he built. It is super amazing and that does includes floor/wall tile under the wood burning stove he installed. 😊 He can cook too, what an amazing man!
Well, he *did* build the cabin in the woods, and help reno Jack's house. No doubt he's laying household tile, too! I do not come from a farming background, but grew up near Hancor, who makes field drainage systems, so knew what Sandi was talking about.
A thought…. I wonder if field tile was originally made like the tile roofing you see in places like Spain, Italy, as well as Arizona, New Mexico, and California. Those roof tiles are often half cylinders….
Sandi I hope seeing your meat 🍖 in market makes you feel proud. You farm your sheep for production. It helps your family. Some people will never understand thank you 🙏🏼 for farmers who care about humanly growing food.
I would love to be able to buy lamb you produced! Lamb is my oldest daughter's favorite meat. When I was a little girl in Ohio, we saw what looked like teeny-tiny pork chops at the meat counter. I was like, "Mommy! Mommy! There are children sized meats over here! Can we have them?" I guess they didn't cost too much because she said yes - we probably had 6 out of our 8 kids by then, so we would need quite a bit of meat. Inside of the meat, there were small containers of what looked like lime jello. Mint sauce! Mom didn't tell us kids what kind of meat it was until after we ate it. I was the only one upset that we were eating lamb. It costs quite a lot more now than it did back then. I still think the tiny cuts look cute, but I'm not a big fan of the taste.
@alicecain4851 My problem is the texture. Can't really remember the taste, but it just would not go down. I eat other meats without that sensation. It is weird. Someone told me that's a sign of autism. So what! As a retired family, hospice and palliative care physician, I think that means that "being on the spectrum " shouldn't keep others designated the same from being successful. 😊 27:06
@@alicecain4851, I splurged many years ago & bought some lamb chops from the reserve champion lamb from the county fair one year. $10/lb, but melt-in-your-mouth tender! Worth every penny!!!
I love that you showed your farm to freezer! I think it is important for society to have the real source of food. Even if you are vegetarian then you should see how much work goes into that piece of lettuce.
Yay! Sandi I want you to know just how inspiring you and your family are! You show us more than you realize. Because of you I am adjusting how I handle “stuff” and feeling better about it. Thank you for being you! ❤️❤️
You and your family represent hard work, persistence, and dedication. Sometimes, I am envious of your way of life as it seems easier. Yet I also know it is not. I am excited for all of your travels and ability to get away, especially with those you love. I also know the anxiety for leaving. It's always a balance of life. Thanks so much for keeping it so real. PS. Love all of the drone shots!
Mori, I really like your profile and your posts, 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 just had a moment of nostalgia. Growing up, my grandparents had a farm. Every year, maybe more than once a year but my memory is fuzzy... I remember Paw would bring back a huge box or three of fresh meat. Then we would have a meat wrapping party of sorts on the front porch. Butcher paper, masking tape, and magic markers. Seems like it happened in the summer.... We also had vegetable processing parties- prepping them for freezing, making jam, making tomato sauce, etc. I haven't thought of that in years! Thank you for that unintentional walk down memory lane! It really did give me a sense of knowing what went into the food I eat.
Me to great memories of doing all that w/ family wrapping meat & produce canning & freezing. Loved it w/ my grandparents & once in awhile my dad would stop farming & help. Sitting outside under the maple tree together.
Its such a blessing to have your mum active with you. I shared your show with mybmom the last 18 months she was alive She had dementia and loved watching you with the lambs. Your vids gave us such joy. I can never thank you enough
I am so happy that you got to get away and spend time with your sisters and especially your mom. We do not realize how much these kinds of memories are going to be to us. Each day is precious. I love your videos with your little wooly babies. They are so comical trying to escape from you. Especially adorable when they kick up their feet and try to dance away. I am glad that little lamb got her wool coat back.
Kinsey is a worker, Lucy just likes hanging with the sheep, and I think Piper is taking an interest. I know Kinsey really has the genes built in so it makes sense. I love watching the process.
Hi Sandi, It is 2.07 am in Australia. My hubby is resowing wheat in our paddocks due to flooding rain after the 1st planting. I love watching you & Mark working together. Enjoy your time away.
I love your Mom! I hide from cameras whenever I can, so I can relate! I'm so glad you had some time with your family. Telephones are good, but nothing is as good as being together! ❤❤❤❤
I know you're sheep and farming....BUT.....I absolutely love the time with your mom and sisters!❤ I had two sisters and we would take trips with our mom. Laughed so hard. My mom was a hoot.🦉I only have one sister left. Treasure those times and please show more! You are such a jewel, Sandi. I hope you know that!!🐑
🐑How wonderful to see you relax and treat yourself to a trip to Savannah! It’s one of my favorite cities to visit. You have a beautiful family. Cherish those moments.❤
Welcome to the South - the land of heat and humidity! I hope you had a wonderful time in Savannah! I went to attend a conference for work several years ago. I have wanted to go back to spend more time there (rather than just after meetings from 8-5:30!). I think I had dinner at Churchill's Pub three or four times. Great burgers (with gluten free buns) and creme brulee. We didn't have the time or money to hit Paula Dean's or some of the other places. The River Walk was fun. We did eat at The Black Dog one day for lunch - you walked right past it!
Your family is the most giving family. You are always there for each other, and your love pours out in what ever you put your hands on. I truly love your channel. ❤❤
Nice that Sandi& Mark’s kids are able to help out! They are like a mini-Calvary! I love cow’s milk but it does not love me so as a soy consumer, a big ‘thank you’ to all the soy farmers in general and to Mark, Sandi, Jack and Jess specifically
Sandi your gut busting response to your mom hiding was hilarious! So awesome that you all got to have precious time together. Clearly you have a wonderful relationship and are so very blessed. I lost my mom 2 years ago and I would give anything to spend more time with her. She was my best friend.
Yes! That WAS a random horse! I wander what it's used for (and now I'll go back and look at the time stamp to make sure we're thinking of the same horse! LoL) Omgosh!!! I thought it wasn't real! The 2nd half of while it's on, it doesn't move. But this time, I was looking right at the horse the whole time and saw its tail and a few other things moving. Definitely REAL! 🐎 🐎 🐎 We don't see too many (any?) horses on Sandi's blog, do we?

I love seeing the machinery you guys use on the grain side! What marvels of engineering that make it possible for you to feed so many people!! It's amazing!!
Praying for you and everyone 🙏❤️🙏 in volved in the Tornado's over the weekend I know that they are saying it's not over but we will continue to pray for everyone ❤️ from Arizona
Most of my family is in Texas while I'm in Utah. I've got them on a big group text and they're all checking in with me. My Mom is 85, and 1 granddaughter is staying with her through the storms. Mom's pretty deaf, so someone always stays with her so they can get her to the safe room when the sirens go off in the middle of the night. Tough time of the year.
You and your sisters took your Mom on a wonderful trip. It looked like she had fun. Congrats on selling locally and they've labeled it You. With farming it is ALWAYS watching the weather. Hopefully you'll get a great summer.
I have always hated backing up my car, even more if I had to back up a trailer! But watching Mark back up that gigantic tractor AND THE BEHEMOTH PLANTER, with such amazing precision, was AMAZING!!! Looks like you have been on my stomping grounds - I live north of Atlanta - and you’re right, Savannah, Georgia really IS amazing! Hope they have removed the barriers so you could go sit on Forrest Gump’s park bench!
Thank you for taking us along with you, I LOVE to travel but I don’t get to very often so that was a treat for me. The hat was really cute on you ! 💐💚🙃
RIVER STREET! I used to work at the Hyatt Regency Savannah, and I actually met my husband there. He worked in engineering, and I worked in the food service. Two of my sons stayed in the area to raise their families. So obviously I still visit from Florida. It was fun to see you in stores I have been in. ❤❤
Hi Sandi, hope you enjoyed your little vacation with your mom and sisters. Love seeing the grain side of your business, it’s different and I’m loving it. Those lamb are getting big fast, I’m amazed how fast the wool on that bottle lamb is growing. As always amazing video, see you in the next one ❤❤ Love from Montreal ❤❤
I'm glad you got to spend a little Mom and sister time in Savannah Georgia. Hope y'all got peach pancakes while you were there. They a treat. Holy cats that demo planter is huge. I'd be scared to drive that monster. But sure would get the grains planted quickly. Have great week Brock family 🌻🌾🌽 🚜 🐏🐑
It is a thrill to see you with your mom & sisters. For me my parents were not long in my adult life. I left home almost 18 yo. There were not many visits and they were too short. Dad was gone at 58 yo. Mom did get to my graduation from med school and her last visit to me was in my Residency. She was gone at 67 yo. It is so nice Sandi has time with family.
Wow, that piece of equipment Mark was trying out was huge, looked like it covered a lot of ground in a good way. So glad you got together with your mom and both sisters, (Savannah is my sisters favorite place to visit). The lambs look great, especially the one who lost it's original coat. Thanks Sandi for taking us along, hope you have a great week!🐑✈️❤️👍
There is no need to ask if Piper's going to be a sheep dog. I guess a working dog is a working dog, no matter the mission. She is so willing to work the sheep. She just doesn't know how. But she'll get it, and you'll have both of them running crazy through the barn. Working them sheep. Kenzie and Piper are amazing ❤😊. But Lucy has other plans with her time chasing sleep.
Sandi I'm so glad you got to go out and have "the girls" play time. It brought tears to my eyes seeing you girls out and having fun. I would give anything to bring Mom back so we could do that again. Enjoy those moments Sandi because there's no instant replay! You should go and do more often, it's good for the soul! Besides all that you deserve a break!
Savannah!!❤🎉❤ You and your Mom and sisters were just a few hours from where I live in Summerville, South Carolina! I love Savannah too - have been there many times and it never gets old. The river walk, garden squares, food, history, cool shops - ooh, its been too long since I've been down to visit myself. I'm so glad y'all had a great time and we had a treat ourselves to see the beautiful Sandi smile across all of the sisters! ❤ Your Mom hiding in the car was priceless. 😂 And I'm glad you visited when you did - summer is just really settling in - still have a bit to go as far as temps - so you got a taste of what we'll be having heat and humidity-wise until October... 😬🌞🌴I hope you and Mark get a chance for a visit sometime - it's a very romantic town too, with some fabulous bed and breakfast's further back amongst the garden squares, and it's all very walkable. So fun to see some familiar sights in your vlog! ❤
I wish both Sandi & Mark would find a great therapeutic massage therapist for regular sessions. Sitting all day is just about the worst thing to do to your back 💕💕
Your mum is lovely! And jeez, you and your sisters share such a resemblance - all of you are indeed lovely and they all look as smart and independent as you are!
Welcome to Georgia Humidity!Georgia is a great state!Born,and raised in Georgia 50 miles northest of Atlanta,near Lake Lanier where rowing olympics where held.One of few Olympics Venue Sites that survived. Having my 50 year class reunion at rowing venue new boat house.My husband and son just returned from 10 day trip fishing on lakes in Canada.They enjoyed so much,did it also 2 years ago.
I'm in Georgia... you were only 3.5 hours from me. We love Savanah too! Great history. We have been many times for the Rock n Roll Marathon... music every where & the locals along the route are so kind. I highly recommend. Glad you spent time with your Mom & sisters!
What a ginormous seeding machine and magical that it reduced Mark’s planting time indeed. 35 acres left to plant soya beans when that field dries out. Great the kids helped out and company for Mark whilst you were gone. It was lovely seeing Savannah’s sights thank you. The closest I will ever get to seeing so many places are Videos like you and your sister’s holiday with your Mother. Beautiful seeing you all together and certainly a wonderful time for the 4 of you to be able to relax and catch up with each other. Then back home to the Barn and seeing you working the Sheep again always is such a pleasure especially at this time of year when you also need to be Mark’s right hand woman working the fields with him. It’s tough on many farming families when their kids grow up and are no longer live in field hands, as you yourselves are experiencing. Wonderful they could come home for those days which meant you could relax and just enjoy your holiday. Imagine having 2 sisters. How blessed you all,are to have had this time together, enjoying each other’s company and catching up. Your Mother will have especially enjoyed this time with her “girls” I’m absolutely sure. Thank you so much Sandi. A really lovely Video. Margot New Zealand.
Margot, I really like your profile and your posts, 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.
My husband enjoyed the travel portion of this video. He retired as a commercial pilot 8 years ago when he was 65. He misses it A LOT. That plane was very cool.
Welcome to South Carolina Sandi..you will see some beautiful homes in Savanah...I'm from SC ..hope you enjoy the southern hospitality while you all are there...
Your Mom’s got that face, she’s got that camera running AGAIN! Love it. I spent my 25th birthday in Savannah, and one of my nieces was born when we were there, many years ago.
Im so glad that you, your sisters, and momma got to spend so good girl time together. Congratulations on having your own area in the market. You do such wonderful things and touch so many. Thank you for just being you ❤❤❤
Aww,your mama is so cute! Her peeping out from behind the headrest in the car was priceless. Sandi : "Say hello to the vlog." Mom : Ducks behind the headrest. 😅❤
I'm happy to see your mom, and all 4 of you being able to sped some time together. Your mom did an amazing job with all 3 of you. Hat off to all the great great moms out there. Cheers to my own for making me a better person, miss you every day.
