I love that the community has so much love for Carrissa despite her not being in videos much and her shyness. But because of how much you give her props on how hard of a worker she is, everyone else loves her by default and wishes her the best. It's so great to see!
GrandmaChelle23, I agree with you, I always feel the same way , I could watch them all day long. We all know what had work is put in to keeping the farm and family running smoothly.. Only other thing would be to watch “the barn channel “😂😂 That would be so much fun for us to have the Nest camera do a live feed.😂🐑. But then it wouldn’t be so special when the bell goes. Ding.😎
I'm jumping on the wagon & agreeing on vid length. Maybe if u could have 1 day per week set aside for a longer vid. It seems like I just get absorbed & it's done.
The little black lamb with the broken leg is just to cute!! Spunky too… then there’s the red headed lamb is precious!! I love watching the running of the lambs and how they climb and jump on anything they want. Thank you for sharing your flock! Lol
I still think your black lambs are adorable, but the little red lamb, has stolen my heart and the show hands down. There’s just something about a sassy redhead I love.
Red (scarlet) is getting so big! I am sorry that mama passed away. I am glad she got to help raise her babies. Your videos always brighten my day! Thank you so much. You are a kind hearted soul with passion for what you love. It’s a beautiful thing.
As an EMT, we always splinted a joint above and a joint below a broken bone for stability. I think that lamb will probably have better healing with the new cast. Good catch!
I love that little tiny lamb with the broken leg, such a feisty gal. She doesn’t seem to realize that she is so small, and Lucy is intimidated by her. Sweet.
I love that the mommas got in on the run back and forth game that the babies always play. Red, as always, is gorgeous. She is so unique. Cannot wait for more Red and Painted Lambs in the spring!! GIRLS .... we want more girls!!! Fingers crossed that Billie, William, and the Red princes give the girl genes.
Yell even big mama Little stinker she was reliving being a baby Bet she tried out the feed She was cute as could be she new she was not to be in there and act like she was coutin the cookie jar ha
I just want to thank you so much for your content! My dad got a few sheep when the pandemic started, and wanted to try breeding them(two ewes and one ram). Last year we didn't get any lambs, so we didn't have much faith in this ram but hadn't gotten around to switching anything up. I guess we grew complacent. But just the other night I noticed one ewe acting a little odd and it's because of your videos that I was able to recognize that it was labor. If I hadn't, I'm not sure if the lamb would've been able to survive the below freezing night. We got a lambing pen set up pretty last second and things seem okay right now. Thanks again!
Sandi your my favorite sheep fertility specialist. Watching your channel I never knew I would learn so much information. Thanks for all you do inspiring future farmers.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I love Kinky, she’s so sweet! And that little lamb with the broken leg?! Adorable and spirited too! Love your vids Sandi, they never fail to make me smile! 🌻💙
I love how when you took the lamb back, her mom was all concerned riiight up to the moment she hopped back in the straw with her. Then she was all, okay cool, and sauntered off, lol. They are too funny!
Answer: ewes can have two lambs from different rams. If the ewe releases two eggs two different rams can sire, but if the ewe releases one egg which splits after fertilisation then the lambs will only have one dad
Have the Sandi Brock Show on the big TV for the first time, (I watch RU-vid on my phone) and all four cats and two dogs are settled on my bed watching very intently, kind of amazing. And very little room left for me! 😆
I wish your videos didn't end... I love so much your videos. It is I think the only one that has the notification bell on. You really make my day... 😍😍😍
Thank you for bringing a genuine smile to my face…seeing Lil Red and all the others lifted my mood immeasurably. Love you, your sheep, and your community!! 💗🐑💗
As a knitter I am currently working on trying to curb my "fiber fetish" I really hope you keep 'Red' - I would gladly give up my 'yarn fast' for a few glorious skeins of that fleece #knittersforRed 🍁🐑♥️
I was taught...cast should include the joint above and below the break....cast should also make the leg longer to prevent full weight bearing. I have used a pad made of vetwrap on the bottom of the hoof to make the leg longer. Hope lamb does well.
I just love the lamb with a broken when she's decided to challenge Lucy I hope you keep her as it will be fun to watch her grow just like Red as I hope you will keep him too.
@@tulafisher9314 My boyfriend had my phone and when he wrote that the red lamb was a boy. I did tell my boyfriend that it was a girl. Thanks you for spotting it.
I wish I didn't feel like I had to write this but I have a request. I've noticed that on Sandi's videos and a lot of other channels there seems to be a marked increase in super inappropriate spam comments. Please, if you see one can you report it? (If you don't know how, just click on the ellipses, the three vertical dots, and then click on "Report" and choose the most appropriate category for that report.) Sandi does not deserve to have her videos and comments sullied by these spammers and neither do the other channels. Reporting them is one easy way we can help her even from the comfort of our couches. Thanks.
I am so impressed with you. I know you are very busy but if you can find the time, could you do a video on how/why you got started being a farmer. Why sheep? What else do you do? How did you learn all of these things? Last but not least, introduce your family and helpers. I admire you and am really interested in homesteading. Watching you and several others are really teaching me a lot. I know it’s hard work but when I see the babies, it’s worth it.
I just want to say that i can't believe some people can't see or discern your spirit and heart, as to how much you love these beautiful animals you care for. And, realize that you have their best interest at heart. We all (Everyone of us) make mistakes even with the best intentions. And, there is no reason to be ugly. Must of us can see what a truly remarkable,caring,loving woman you are. Just remember that
Sandy, are you keeping any of the baby lambs for future breeders? Just wondering about the little red and white one. Thank you so much for sharing your family and farm.
Sandi, I just can't believe how big your lambs have gotton. Wow!!! Love just wacthing your channel. Your a real inspiration to women of all ages. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
Sorry about the loss of another ewe. That hurts I'm sure, especially for the orphans, but the lamb is old enough and strong enough that it should be alright thank goodness. Yeah, we got snow all the way down into central NC this weekend. That's a rare treat for us, but so cold at night.
Yay! Another video. What a treat! Sandi, your video's really are the highlight of my day. Thank you for creating them. I know it takes a lot of time and effort, but it's highly appreciated!❤
Red is nice and thick! Adorable. Now that you’re processing your sheep’s wool, would you ever consider adding new sheep breeds that would improve the fiber quality? BFL or Border Leister are great mamas and decent meat breeds and the fiber is very sought after.
Considering her program is meat, I'd be doubtful. Her wool at this point a value added product since she put the work into it. I'd like to know some rough numbers of what she got for the wool she kept back or even what Charlie is able to get, bc what she's said in the past it's not even peanuts. Wool is great and needs to be more used ! So tired of the fast plastic...
Ya honestly she does it for Market which can mean meat or pets. But I don't see why now she's into the wool she would want different options. Besides regardless she retains females for her lambing groups and if she had red momma's it will just give her different wool.
Interesting thought and good question, I think. Especially, as you (OP) suggested, the possibility of a breed that are good at market but also have higher quality wool. It's a good question. Even if the introduction is through the rams not the ewes. I'm interested in how Sandi would answer this.
@@blahblah4248 she addressed her wool in a past video. She’s tired of it not worth anything, so she , proactively, sought out a company that would make yarn or other wool projects. I think it’s brilliant 💗
My husband doesn't watch these videos with me. But, the screaming lamb made him laugh. I need to figure out how to make that scream be the sound when he calls me. 🔊🐑😆
I think little red could be called “Latte”, darker on the bottom and gets creamier and lighter on the top. Love watching the lambs!…the love shown by the boys…Billie is a hoot… love the sheep with the bangs! ❤️🐑🇨🇦🇺🇸
A vet we know says, the saying among vets is: a sick sheep is a dead sheep. So we see how much work Sandi puts in for her ailing ones. They quite often recover. Really very Few have died. Early intervention!!
Hi, Sandi, I completely understand your being wound tight after pulling the trailer to market. I lived in WCentral MN for many years. We called what you drove thru “ground blizzards”. For work I drove 40 miles each way, mostly in the dark of course. It would get extremely exciting with those fingers of extremely fine snow being run over again and again until black ice was everywhere! And as you said, when the wind turned you ever so slightly, you were gathering yourself back up! I only off-roaded 5 times in 11 years.
I'm right with you on the trailer issue....I have bought bagged garden soil in order to travel back west to East in Western Oklahoma rather than run the risk of having my empty trailer end up somewhere where it wasn't supposed to be due to the winds!!
I don’t think you tube should worry so on your videos. From my thoughts their all about life and that’s what we are watching for. It’s so wonderful to see life happening we’re all farmers in a way and they give us that warm fuzzy happy feelings being part of your family farm life. Luv you and yours melinda
Goodness, Woman, what are you feeding these lambs?! They seem to be growing extra tall and heavy this time around! And only about 37 days old?! Loved that you gave many of the favorites their close-ups in this video: Red, Billy, Kinky, Cinnamon, etc. ❤️
Oh I thought the "scandalous" thumbnail was great and a play of humor, especially how you worded how the whole process and anatomy of breeding to get around the strike! About the vetting, what I learned is much of a farmer's job besides the husbandry includes a lot of the vet work, which also includes euthanasia. Calling in a vet or other specialists are the last resort. And what I think is that people don't know the amount of vetting many farmers actually do on a regular basis. Farming livestock isn't just breeding, feeding, raising them and shipping to market. Being a farmer also includes being skilled as an electrician, clerical, tax prepper, mechanic, animal biologist (😆), plumber, construction worker and yes, vetting; all at some level. If a farmer were to hire out for every little thing there'd be more costs included that would take a serious chunk out of the pocket book. It's why I think when farmers do hire out it's more due to there not being enough time in the day than lack of skill or knowledge of the jobs at hand. I have huge respect for farmers, especially on a scale such as your family's farm. My homesteading projects were a lot of work and wondering but it wasn't my livelihood. Farming on a scale like what you have going on, to me, is impressive. For these reasons I'm glad you include the vetting and where you get your information, and include all your other chores because it gives an honest and straight forward accounting of the whole farming experience. It's videos and talks with other farmers in my area that helped me decide on the level of homesteading I wanted to get vested in.
Sandi i just want to say thank you for everything you to you and you husband. I have learned so much from farming to sheepherding and what them big metal thing are used for and every day i watch you I learn something new. I appreciate it so much thank you. (what I mean about them big metal things is where you guys put your grain at) LOVE YOU N KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
I hope you’re keeping that little red lamb …… she’s just so sweet . Listening to you talking about Carissa it’s so clear how much you appreciate her and respect her hard work
Vet bills can be astronomical, so you fix what your able to. We had a prolapsed ewe and that was a terrible sight to behold. Of course it was a late night lambing and finding an on call vet can be tricky. Luckily we found one and with the help of my daughter holding things in place the vet was able to put her back together. ☃️❄️💚🙃
Ok, normally I 'd reply about how awesome you are, and you are amazing, but WHERE DID MARK GET THAT FREAKING HUGE CIRCULAR SAW 😂🤣😂 Excuse me sir, can I just give you my credit card number and you can ship me one, price is no object 😂🤣😂 Oh, and adorable sheep or whatever 😉 Kinky is my new favorite with her mop top boy band pop artist hair. Thanks for another great video! 😊
Love that little red! You are trying your best with the leg, you are educated and it shows. Keep up the great work and compassionate care you give those animals. Much love
It has been years but I grew up on a farm and in the fiftys American people farmed and lived of the land you fix the animals you could and their were not many vets in those days I love watching your time you show us how thangs are done now Thank you
Sandi is such a hard worker and does so much with the lambs alone while Mark does his business alone WHILE SO MANY PEOPLE complain about barely doing any work and having to have help doing it. This family is absolutely amazing and have been a blessing for me. I know they have help when they need it but for the most they take care of everything as a family. My parents was the same. This makes me homesick so much, we had cattle and horses tho. 💞
I think something that fails to get noticed is how darn PRODUCTIVE you and your whole family are. I aspire to be 1/10th as self motivated and proactive as you guys!
I absolutely adore you!! Thank you so much for your videos through the pandemic. You've helped me more than you'll ever know. 🥰💙 My question is: who (besides Red?? 🤞) are you keeping out of the new batch of lambies?? 🐑
Sandi God Bless You and your family! The little broken leg lamb is too cute and the red lamb is so beautiful! I worry about all the sheep in these cold temperatures. Have you ever had to emergency heat the barns?
Question: what happens if a ewe or ram looses their tag, how do you identify which sheep it is and pair them up with their data? How often does that happen?
@@rebeccaburrow7199 I have been watching since video 200 or something and I have only seen a handful, but I was just wondering what happens. How do you match the data up with the sheep?
@@rebeccaburrow7199 yes, but is that worth it for one ewe? The other thing is not everyone will be in that group and the groups change a lot, so unless Sandi has a list of names for every group then she could identify the one that was not scanned and match it to the ewe that lost her tag….?
@@ehowes1038 the gallagher keeps track of inventory so it could be done, and the color ear tags coukd help w narrowing it down, but is it worth it for one ewe? Nah, not in my opinion.
That little sassy lamb warmed my heart. People also need to understand when you are raising these creatures for years on end you have to learn some of these more simple tricks from your vet. It says the farmer money but it also means that the vet isn't wasting his time on something that can be done by the farmer. I watched my grandfather do it for years and most of the animals never had anymore issues. Red is also too cute, I can't wait so see what she looks like as an adult!
We took an adult doe to the vet because of a broken leg because we wanted to be sure it was a simple break and not a spiral fracture. They don't even set and cast broken limbs any more, just wrap them with a splint (just like you did!) and let the muscles pull the bones into place. If she hadn't been an adult, we probably would have just splinted it ourselves. Goats and sheep seem to heal very well with that supportive care. We are always thankful for a vet who will help us help our animals.
How do you determine what sheep you use for future breeding? Ewes and Rams? Sandi I love your videos! I'm like a kid in candy store when you post a new video! Keep up the great work! Alice from South Carolina!
She knows the mother's breed/s as it is in her Gallagher that she keeps the data, linked to the ear tags on all her sheep. So she pairs the ewes with one of her rams that comes from a different breeding so there is no accidental breeding back to the fathers.
I love Lucy and the little lamb with the broken leg. I also like to watch Mark's woodworking. My dad was a woodworker and he resored Model T's. Watching these videos make me happy.
