We made it!
Spring lambing 2023 is officially over, but wow... the hits kept coming leading into the final delivery which was by far the worst I've ever assisted.
Thank you all for being a part of this lambing journey... definitely not my finest days, and life can do that.
But we do what we can with what we have.
This was by far the most lambs per ewe that I've ever had on the farm... but honestly, with the losses associated with these numbers, I question whether it's something to re-assessed.

I noticed today that I have watched all your videos for 6 years now. You have grown so much as a farmer since I started. The little lamb doctor's office you set up up is amazing! You are also teaching us all so much. Even when you think you have failed you have shown someone what can happen. Keeping growing Sandi for all of us.

@sarahstrahm3072 Год назад

I want to tell you something that will hopefully encourage you. ❤️ Almost 3 years ago I left a very toxic/abusive marriage with my young son. (and livestock) I was in a dark place. I came across your channel. I can't even tell you why I started watching because I had/have goats. Watching your absolute wonder and love for each lamb born reminded me of how I used to be. Realizing this started part of my healing journey. Thank you so much for continuing on. Thank you for letting us in to a part of your life. What you do matters. ❤️ Oh, and now I have sheep. 😂 Hopefully you can get a little rest. Thank you again.

@Inconcvable77 Год назад

Sarah, I want you to know that you are an amazing and strong woman and mother to have the strength to leave that situation. I too was in not one, but two marriages like that and left, but so many times women stay.

Sandy, i'm just a mechanic from pennsylvania and have no clue about sheep farming but, please know that you are an awesome person. I saw Jess's post so i kind of have a clue what you are dealing with. I say kind of because I lost both of my parents to that dreaded disease. I want you to know that I and almost one million people look forward to every video you post, my day gets so much brighter when i see a new post from you! Can you believe it, almost one million subscribers?! I dont know you or your family personally, yet you and your family are some of my best friends. Please never stop believing in yourself or what you do. I wish you and your family the absolute best, I just want you to know, we (your loyal fans) love you and your family and we have your back, if even through thought and prayer.

Well said, Creek Road - Sandi and the entire Brock family are awesome people. I've been following them for a few years now and they're close to my heart. So glad you found the Sheepishly Me community. I grew up in Central PA farm/dairy country almost 60 years ago, but not on a farm - my dad was a carpenter. It's going to be a rough road with what Jess will need to endure over the coming months but like you expressed, I'm hoping that the almost million of us will help to lift them up during their journey. I'm finishing up my own cancer treatment so I have some perspective on what they'll be experiencing. I'm sorry to read you lost both parents to cancer - it's a horrible disease.

@hsaurid Год назад

Sandi, this has been a very busy lambing for you, likely the busiest ever. It has also been difficult for you personally with Mark’s broken wrist, and then Jessica’s cancer diagnosis. Being busy in difficult times, yet you’re hanging in there with all the determination and heart you can muster. You’re being the best supportive mom possible for Jessica, your #1 priority. And trying hard to look after your sheep #2 under trying circumstances. Take heart, you have a great family and friends supporting you. Draw on that support as needed, where possible. It will help. Vaya con Dios.

Sandi, First-this lambing WAS really rough. Like, the toughest one since you got the new barn. Next, Jessica did finally tell us what is going on and I cried. I thought "omg. I have to apologize to Sandy for not considering it could be something worse and more painful than kidney stones. Sweetheart, you are doing a great job. I would literally be a sobbing ball on the floor, screaming at God "WHY?" Jess is making excellent decisions which shows what a fabulous job you and Mark have done raising her and Jack. Please, please take some time off and go away as a family for some R&R? I genuinely appreciate every video and wish you could come to Alaska. I would smother you with big sister hugs and provide you tea and cookies in between. As ever, BIG BIG HUGS from Tanya in Alaska

Sandi, your daughter has your amazing strength & tenacity, I *know* it doesn’t make this journey any easier, but Jess has caught this early (thank god you have such an amazing medical team who didn’t dismiss her due to her young age), she has every fighting chance of getting through this, you all do, & please, please remember you have nearly a million people from all over the world sending you, Jess & all of your family so much love, prayers & blessings through this journey. We aren’t going anywhere. We’re here every step of the way whenever either / any of you need us, OK? Talk to us, rant to us, get angry, use us as your soundboard, that’s what friends do, right? And I feel this community is more like a big friendship than anything else. My father was a dairy farmer, he never took days off, not when I was hospitalised when I was 8, not when he was sick, any of my brothers were sick, mum was sick.. farming life is amazing, but brutal on your emotional headspace. Please take time for you. Lean on those around you when you can. You can only be strong for so long. Utilise any help others offer & don’t feel guilty for it (because I know what you’re like!) Sending you all so much love, always, Laura xx 💗

@trishavickers73 Год назад

Wonderfully said! Only thing I’d like to add for Sandy on that topic of accepting help when offered is, people want to help but don’t necessarily know what to do. Let them cook meals, let them grocery shop for you. It brings these people great joy when they can do something for you. You may have to be specific but they can accept that. My daughter was diagnosed with cancer when she was 2 years old. She turns 23 this year. I spent a lot of nights in prayer. God is good! Now I’m an oncology nurse. It’s gonna be tough in the beginning. Fully rely on God! ❤

@LauraBidingCitizen Год назад

@@trishavickers73 Amen to that! Sometimes it’s the ‘smaller’ gestures that mean so very much; meals cooked, after long & gruelling hospital stays, grocery shopping, a friend popping over to empty bins & pop the vacuum over, I know I’ve had friends who’s children or loved ones have had cancer who just appreciated a friend coming over for coffee, it just made them feel so much less alone. I’m so glad your daughter is doing well now. X

I’m a NICU nurse, and when there are outcomes that aren’t great I have a small group text with coworkers where we can vent and cry and celebrate and be silly and just understand each other. It’s okay to not be strong sometimes, just make sure you have your own “group text” where you can cry and yell and send silly gifs. I hope Jess has a fantastically easy journey with no side effects and a quick, complete recovery…and then someday you can be the strong one in the group text. It’s okay if right now you need others to be strong for you. ❤

As I’m sure the same goes for many others, Jess and your whole family are in our prayers🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 It’s heartbreaking. You have raised such a strong and incredible daughter. She puts up such a brave front, but this has to be like a nightmare that just won’t end. I think it’s absolutely wonderful that since this is supposedly caught early, that she is doing fertility treatments . Such a smart way to go if you can do it. It’s so very very obvious the love and support that your family gives her. That’s how she is who she is and is doing what she is doing. You are such an amazing family who just starts to get up gets knocked down again, but you still get back up. Though that is the extreme opposite of easy. Life is hard and sadly seems like some of the best people out there have the hardest time. Please hang in there. We love you also thank you for your support of mental health awareness and putting the word out there. mental illness is a horrific militating disease.

Sandy, as a mom/homesteader, every time I watch one of your vids I say to myself “ so many people have no idea how challenging it is to be a mom/ farmer/homesteader “ Your strength amazes me. I know that your human family comes first and your wooly family comes running in sliding to a stop right next to them. These armchair farmers have no clue. Farming is every day, no matter what. Having a baby? You get 3 maybe 4 days to recover then back to the barn you go. Kids sick? Doctor them up and while they sleep, off to the barn. We lost our oldest son to a water accident, as I grieved I took care of the animals and got things set up for a few friends to take care of them while we was in a different state, burying our first born. He was 29 years old. I didn’t get to grieve, I needed to be there for the other 3 kids, my husband, our 3 grandsons and whoever else was breaking down and needed a strong shoulder and a soft hug. Your going to be ok, Jess is going to be ok, she is her mothers daughter. 😊 Sending prayers. Your doing a great job. 🥰🥰

@sortathesame8701 Год назад

@@bettablue2660 Your bringing attention to this slight overstep by the poster has caused far more disruption than the post itself! Yes, Sandy's family must look to their doctors for information and base their life choices on that information, but telling someone their child will be just fine should not be cause for comment! In fact, I would be surprised if Jesse's doctor has not already assured her that she will be fine...most do you know. Right up until the day they can no longer get away with saying it! Everyone facing cancer, whether stage one or four, should get nothing but our support and yes, our hope for a complete recovery. I was just diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer and have had many friends say that I will be 'just fine'. I take it as what it is meant to be, encouragement and hope.

@shannonrickard8605 Год назад

@@bettablue2660 My 2 year old son had a brain tumor. I spent weeks not knowing if it was cancer, wondering if it was operable, watching my baby be poked, prodded, confused, hurt, and eventually go under the knife and have his brain cut into. We also don't know if it will come back. I never got upset or hurt by people telling me he was going to be okay or everything was going to be okay. You're putting far too much emphasis on the literal meaning of the words rather than seeing it for what it is which is a kind, caring gesture of support and optimism. If you want to be that technical, we could ALL die tomorrow for all we know. A LOT of us aren't going to be okay, but that doesn't mean we have to dwell on it or spend precious energy worrying about semantics. Your son needs you, and YOU need you. Don't let comments on the internet or well-intentioned comments from others about your situation bother you so much. It's not good for your mental health. And I say that with absolute sincerity.

Sandi, you are right, this lambing seemed harder than others. More mummified and more stillborns than I’ve seen in the three years I’ve been watching. You are such a caring and compassionate person so, it hits you hard. You care so much and when you are coping with your human family - having lambing issues can be the last straw.

You and Mark have equipped her well to handle the battles of life. It really helps all of us to follow the Brock example of deeply caring for people and animals, hard work, and connection to community. I know your ‘tube’ family are grateful that you are willing to pull us along behind you on the lammy sled, over the straw, to the comfort of a bed with our mom and siblings, big drink of milk, and a deep sleep after one of life’s major traumas.

Jess has built her professional team to direct her care and medical journey. She has an incredible support network. I saw her vlog and I deeply respect the smart intelligent woman that she is. Blessings

@patfleming7837 Год назад

Such a daughter you and Mark raised. She’s amazing! Know that we’re all thinking best outcomes for her.

@SusanS588 Год назад

I never tire of watching the lambs taking advantage of the extra room for lamb races while their mums are eating. I was concerned when last time you mentioned that Jess was having to go to Toronto for treatment and her recent video confirmed my suspicions. Best hopes and wishes for you and yours. ❤

Sandi - I don't know how you do it. You are such an inspiration and one of the strongest women I've seen and I know that Jess has inherited that strength. My daughter had stage 1 fallopian tube cancer at age 22 and thankfully now at age 30 she's had no problems since. Jess's positivity and strong mind set will do wonders in this battle. Much love and prayers to the entire Brock family. Hopefully there are some out there with the ability to volunteer when times get tough. Great job with that crazy spring lambing.

@Stevedish75 Год назад

The whole Brock family continue to be in my prayers. You are such a strong woman and Jess takes after her Mom so I know you all will get thru this. Thanks for being such an inspiration to the rest of us.

@stephanierowland976 Год назад

Sandi - your willingness to share the challenges and vulnerable moments is what makes your VLOGs so genuine and warm. Jess has the support and love of this community, as well as your large extended family. We are all there for you…and will always be there for you because you have become part of all our “chosen” families. All the best…don’t ever apologize for the very genuine emotions that you have. It is what makes us love you and care about you and yours.

@StephanieRowland You took the words right out of my brain. Sandi I have sensed your MH struggle with Jess and I started praying for Jess and your family then. Please use this as your place to feel safe to unload anything. As you're talking along if something pops to mind just say it, feel it, and we will all be here as a community like we have been. We cry, laugh and get mad right along with you so picture that 😊.

I commented the other day saying I know absolutely nothing about sheep or farming but I just happened across your channel one day and now I check everyday for a new video. I love watching you love your lamb family as well as your human one. The love and care you show to your animals is amazing. And now having to do all that and deal with a sick daughter I'm just in awe at how strong you are. I know you probably don't feel very strong but you are. You are an inspiration. Please know that you have a huge community of people praying for Jess and you, and your entire family (human and animal). ❤

@Lwah0812 Год назад

Sandi, I saw Jess’ video last night so I can just imagine how hard this has been for you. To have such a tough lambing season while going through such a tough journey in your personal life must feel like more than you can handle. Remember that you are a strong and fiercely capable woman and your daughter is the same way, both of you are so strong and capable and you will get through this. Your flock of people are behind you and will be praying for the whole Brock family. If anyone shares any negativity with you during this time please, please just block them, you don’t need anyone to make this harder on you especially at this time. I told Jess that there will be a million people praying for her and her family. If you don’t feel like you can vlog while this is going on don’t worry about us, we will still be praying for you and waiting until you can pick up the camera again…we will miss it but we will understand and we have 687 videos plus shorts that can give us our Sandi fix. Sending love and prayers to the Brock family. 💕

I knew NOTHING about sheep before I found your channel. I have learned so much from watching you. I have laughed and cried with you. Yes, this season has been chaotic, and you waded right thru it. You will find the OVERWHELMING majority of us who watch have wrapped you and yours in love and prayers. Y’all are not alone. Hang in there girl. You are amazing! Love from Tennessee

Hi Sandi. Give yourself grace, and also give yourself credit. You had 360 lambs, and your ewe lambs were overachievers. You worked a lot of miracles with poorly lambs. You accomplished so much in this lambing, plus dealing with all that you are dealing with. I think you did a stellar job with your sheep. Please remember to take good care of yourself. ❤

@anniesorby7296 Год назад

I'm so sorry that Jess has to go through this terrible time. I'm sorry that you and Mark have to witness your child being ill and requiring treatment. I'm sorry that Jack has to watch his sibling suffering from the sidelines. To you, Jess, Mark, Jack and your extended family, I'm sending thoughts and prayers to you all. Sandi, you show such amazing strength just to be out in that barn. It's so much to be dealing with, it truly shows how resilient and strong you are, even though you may not feel it. I cried for Jess when I watched her video. I cried for you during this video, knowing what you have going on. I have cried reading through some of these comments, seeing how you've touched so many lives and we all care for you and yours. I am a stranger, but I feel your pain. I hope that you all can take one day at a time, reach out when you need extra help, eat good food to keep strong, both mentally and physically, and be kind to yourselves. I wish there was more I could do, like cook a few meals, but Australia is a long way away and uber eats won't deliver! Big, big hugs 🫂

Sandi I have been thinking of you and your family all week. I have two young daughters and and small flock of about 50 and just can’t imagine how you are handling it right now with everything that’s going on. You’re amazing even though you probably don’t feel like it right now. I also wanted to say thank you for posting all your bad with your good. Sharing your hard pills to swallow with the world where most only share the good has helped so many people. I have lots of friends starting out who whenever something goes wrong they think they’re the only one because so few post the bad. I have pretty much gone through all the bad at least once already and share that with them and I can also say look, this happens to other people too. So when they are wanting to crawl in to a hole and give up you give them enough hope that they are not so terrible so they can pick themselves up off the ground and keep going. You did this for me as well when I was just starting out. You’ve wiped the tears off so many faces. I hope you know that we are so thankful for you. You’ve got a lot of people thinking of you and your family and you are loved by many. ❤️

Hopefully your entire family can feel the support of your followers as you navigate the journey ahead.

You are a much beloved family.

Saw Jess' video -- xxoo Sending all the positive energy I can for the best outcomes -- you're the best, Sandi and Jess is so blessed to have you as her Mom. xxoo I became an only parent. widowed when my Jessica was 3, so I understand that feeling of being overwhelmed -- thank God it passes eventually. Anyone who knows you believes you do the best you can -- and even your worst is excellent -- I really mean this. I hope the energy you produce for us returns to you 100 fold (did you get the sheep pun?). Stats: Wouldn't it be great to find a way to reduce the quints to triplets -- that's if that would reduce the death rate. ?

I've struggled with mental health for too long, but your videos have been a huge help for me. Not just because those cute sheep make us all smile but I think because you keep it real. We're all going through something and your videos help us relate in some way or another. I hope we can be a help to you now, when you need it most. Let us be your outlet, know that we are lifting you up. I'm praying for you and Jess and your family. Sending big hugs!

@MulberryBranchFarm Год назад

As someone who also endeavors to be a grade A livestock steward while balancing the demands of every day life my heart breaks for you. The symbolic nature of your lambing season and how you reacted to your losses is so apparently linked to how not in control you feel with what’s happening with Jess. It’s just another reminder of how not in control you are in your barn with lambing and that’s so painful. That’s a hard pill to swallow even when everything else is going well. But to undergo and push through this particular lambing group with its saddest moments while going through something so scary with your own child… you are Wonder Woman. The sheep are your happy place and you identify with them. To watch these lambs thrive or dive has had to have had a very heavy and unfiltered effect on you. Just know you are doing great and those of us that have been with you through the years are praying for you and your family and willing the best results into fruition for you.

@seleeneparis Год назад

Sandi, It was definitely a memorable lambing and it's the first one I've seen all the way through. I come from a long line of farmers (my generation is the first full generation who hasn't farmed and lived on our family farm in Indiana.) and honestly, I got to give farmers such as yourself some massive amounts of respect. Without all of your hard work and dedication to what you do, the world cannot eat. It's got long hours and early risings. It takes strength to be a farmer. It really does. I know it's been a difficult lambing and especially with your own little lamb (Jess) being ill. It takes a toll on mental health and honestly if anyone has problems with you not updating for a while, their a problem. Do not ever apologize about needing to take some time to give your chance to breathe and not update via your vlog. If you need time, take it. We'll be here whenever you're ready to share with the world whatever you feel comfortable with sharing. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
