We're losing her. ...making the tough decision. | Vlog 797 

I saw it too...made me cry.

To me it ment that's what she wanted was to sit up. She was thankful😢

Oh yea cabbage leaves is another good one

If you onl6 believe what Google tells you that's sad. Because they're wrong more times than not

That’s exactly why I came on here to comment. I’m not going to lie, that made me shed a tear or two. Sandi is such a caring farmer and I think that’s why I love watching her so much. Yes I know where her lambs and ewes are going but she gives them the best life possible until that time.

❤❤❤💯 Sandi is an amazing loving farmer 💞

What a compassionate and kind way of putting it

I Like that

Thats a really good statement

And by dying on the farm, she gives her all back to the farm by becoming compost that is returned to the land to grow feed for her brothers and sisters and even her children if they're kept in the next round of replacement ewes. Her legacy will live on!

@keeleyg2636 Except that she DIDN'T do everything possible to save her. She didn't do the most important thing that she SHOULD have done which was take the Ewe to be seen by a farm vet BEFORE she got to this point, or have them come to the farm to see her. It's possible the Ewe could've been saved had she done so but most farms would rather put an animal down than pay for very expensive veterinary treatments that would cut into profits and exceed the value of what an ewe is worth to them. Such is the nature for animals on commercial farms.

@@DarkDraega It's obvious that you've not watched Sandi very long. She has dealt with mastitis with her flock since she began sheep farming. And we don't know if she contacted her vet or not. That farming model you described DOES NOT apply to Sandi Brock.

​@areyoumadbroxd6861 She contacts her vet pretty much any time something severe happens, or even if she has any doubt about something, whether she's already dealt with it or not. You clearly haven't been here long. I've been subbed to Sandi for about five years now. She is absolutely one of the types that is in constant contact with her vet. She doesn't really show him on camera or anything. Stop making sweeping assumptions just because others do what you're saying.

Pray for her. Don't leave her alone to suffer. Do the thing you don't want too.

I think she knew what was coming and tried to show her love and gratitude.

Yes, I think on an instinctive level they understand it's time to go. They also understand you're there to help them and you could readily see she was comforted by you. We had our pup (well, he was 15 yrs old but still a mere pup to us!) put down peacefully at home. The morning of, we had him up on the couch (he loved that spot). Of course his diffr bed spots were there on the floor too, along with a special one we'd set up the night before for the occasion. About an hr before the vet arrived, he got down off the couch by himself and for the first time, laid right down on the special place we'd made. His brother laid beside him (also never having laid on that spot until then), and they didn't move (which was not like then bc they both were VERY active dogs--even him up to the end!) It's like he knew and was so ready to go. The vet arrived and he moved only enough to put his head on my leg, but he left the rest of his body laid out (which is a way he NEVER slept). He very peacefully went to sleep and passed without a sound. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ending.

Me too😢

@@saga2964 I'm sorry you lost him but at least it was peaceful, when I was 15 my 10 year old cat Jellybean who had asthma was run over right outside my house, I was devastated as she was a 1 person and I was that person, I'm 32 now and still miss her.

I saw that too. I cried!

Thank you for your comment. ❤

Yes...no longer confined in a barn and no ability to graze on fresh grass. Sickening.

@@5GreenAcres if you'd watch her videos you'd know that the sheep aren't always in the barn.

I can’t believe I’m crying too! I don’t know why this one was harder to see. So sad 😢

I truly believe everyone who works in hospice that I have met our Saints. Thank you.

I am a former longtime hospice volunteer, I was thinking the same. It looks like she does her best to allow her animals to live a healthy life. It is clearly apparent this ewe was given the same care, comfort and pain control.

I am sitting here crying because Sandi cares so much for her flock, and she tried really hard to save the poor ewe. 😢😢😢

​@HealingNurse Me too😢😭 I cried when the Ewe​ wagged her tail when Sandi was saying goodbye to her. I feel so bad for Sandi as she hates the death of any of her girls. She takes it hard.

I think she wagged her tail because she knew that Sandy was doing everything for her and being kind to her til the end.

I think that was her saying thank you for trying and thank you for letting me go.

same tears are streaming down. the little tail wag and sandi trying to give her some love before having to let her go. so sad when nothing u do works despite trying so hard. that poor mama but she was just too weak and in pain. it was a kindness.

Tears here too for the same reasons, when I saw her tail wagging as Sandi held her head and talked to her I started crying and haven't stopped still

OMG 😢 The tail wag at the end put me over the edge…..I cannot stop crying 😭 Sandi you are a strong woman and wonderful farmer….I can tell you really love your sheep and lambs

thank you so much for such a beautiful, thoughtful and caring comment xx

❤

Such a good idea! have some bed risers I’d be very happy to donate!

Please, Sandi, take this advice. You and Jess are so danged tall! LOL! Please put some risers (even just bricks!) under those table legs to save your back (it gets enough wear and tear!)

Okay, I'm short, really short compared to my son, but I got a table with adjustable legs from the local office supply store to use as a cutting table. I can raise it to cut fabric or lower it for sewing. One way or another, raise the level of your work table. It makes a world of difference in the long run!

@@karenj.5910 I'm short too, compared to the rest of my family.

@@karenj.5910that is such a useful thing. I am going to get me one of those. Thanks for sharing!

Jesse is a Minnie you she looks like you the young you ATL ga USA ❤❤

I'm so sorry that you had to make such a tough decision, it's never easy. You have such a huge heart and love for your sheep, and it shows. God bless you and your family, as well as your sheep and the rest of the farm. Thank you for your love and grace that you show to your herd. Keep your head high and be proud of everything that you do. I love the way that you go above and beyond to save each and every one of your sick and injured sheep. God shines down on you with great love. You rock, you are admired, and thank you for being you.

It seems like you always have an audience of interested sheep lined up along the fence watching your treatments . I am not very anthropomorphic but it does seem they are concerned . So sorry but you always do your best . Hugs

@@Elizabethvaughan1, that’s what I was thinking at about 3:20ish….captive and concerned audience. Very sad they seemed to sense it…

Jess' hair is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Now we can see her lovely face, too!

Isn't it? Just too cute! I'd love to ruffle those curls! 😂❤❤❤❤

Divine Mercy ❤Chaplet. Stockbridge MA ♥️ Playing in heaven with her family and friends. You had a short term angel who thanks you and loves you

Yes, I did...

I think the only reason Marge fit the chute is because she was just sheared. She’s a character!

😢❤ Brave compassionate wise Shepherdess! We are honored to share this sacred moment with you. ❤
