• FALL LAMBING 2021
This one is an emotional rollercoaster...
A few more questionable losses, and a few WINS!
But the big story of the week...
is Goat.
She has been going downhill.
And I prayed she would lamb soon so I could assess and make some hard decisions.
She did all of that.
And we finally said goodbye.
I had hoped hers would be my last this week, but unfortunately I had a few more.
I'm sorry this has been such a discouraging start to lambing.
It's hard to share this stuff, and harder to re-live these days while editing.
Stick with me tho... I promise it will get better... at least I hope!

SORRY GUYS!! I was so tired uploading this morning, I accidentally scheduled for tomorrow at noon instead of today!!🤦♀️ For my viewers... I'm so sorry this lambing has started off so rough. It is so hard reliving these days as I edit these videos, so I realize it must be equally as hard to watch. THANK YOU for remaining so patient as we navigate through this stretch of bad luck... Love you all.
I'm sorry to ask but is the baby going to be alive or some mom is going to be alive
Now I get it I am so sorry for the lost
Don‘t make things to hard for yourself. If you think you might need a break from RUclips, take one. I don‘t think anyone would be angry if you did.
Why are you apologizing for something you have no control over? this summer has been a rough summer for all, i wish we could make it better, days will be better. you are one of the most amazing, honest, and lovely farmers i have had the joy of watching through this website, and insta.
Sandi don't beat yourself, it isn't something you did or didn't do. If love could have saved them every lamb would have made it. May you have a Blessed weekend 🙏
Goat was a true mother, didn’t give up till she had her baby. That is a strong will to live.
Thanks now I don't need to watch the video 😒😂

How is it, that a sheep named Goat in Canada, and a woman who cares so intensely for her farm, has captured my heart?! My heart is also broken that Goat is gone as well as Little Goat, and I share a piece of your pain. Sending love…💗💗💗💗💗
I 💕 your ability to sum up how all of us are feeling.
That hurt ima miss my labs when they pass
It’s ok they tastes delicious

Ah Sandi... I got choked up when I saw how thin Goat was and knowing how loving and how much of a hands-on mama she was, I didn't think she was destined to be here much longer no matter how much we all wanted her to make a miraculous recovery
I was so hopeful for G2 - she was beautiful and the way your face lit up, I wished she could have made it. I cannot imagine how hard this is. As much as you are a shepherdess and this is your business, you love so strongly and care about your woolies so much, it's clear you are not (AT ALL) just a business owner. You are a champion caretaker. You are so proactive in trying to save your woolies from any harm, illness, and do your absolute best by them.
I hope this lambing starts to turn around, so we can see the love shining in your eyes and that beautiful big smile!
If you need time, please take it. These past 18 months have been absolutely brutal in so many ways and we want you as happy, healthy, and in a good place mentally more than anything else. I promise you - we will be here when you get back. Please do what is best for you.
Much Love for you, Karissa, Mark, Jess, Jack, etc. from across the great lake.
Sandi….. I have been breeding Saddlebred horses and Collies for almost 50 years and I am really happy to see that you are going to be using Tincture of Iodine on the lambs. I have used it on the umbilical cords of both foals and puppies forever and have never had a problem. Keep the faith this lambing will get better. You have years of excellent lambing under your belt. Prayers and love, Linda who enjoys your videos so much!
As a horse breeder, I am glad to see her use the naval dip. The other problem of loosing bottle fed lambs may be from not getting colostrum.
We always dipped kids at the dairy goat farm...horse people I've known do the same. When I fostered feral kitten litters they all got dipped as well! It's a little thing but it keeps infection at bay!
We see that you do everything you can for your animals. Don’t let armchair critics bother you.
I'm so sorry about Goat and her babies. Thank you for sharing her antics, and showing us what a fighter she was. May Jess have a smooth transition to college. Hugs to mom and dad.
Sandi, I really do feel for you. When we had our goats, and the kids were born. If things weren’t quite right, I would take them to bed with me or sleep in the barn. Pull out all the tricks of the. Occasionally one would make it, but most of the time they didn’t-especially if they were preemie. Undeveloped lungs are. Really hard to deal with. I’m heartbroken for Goat. I’m so sorry sandy. No one could ever be a more caring, kind, makes the really hard decisions without it hardening her heart.you are the best; our love and prayers are with you. We are all looking forward to the remainder of the lambing season🙏😘
I’m your exact 300th “like,” kinda cool! I agree, we are already hard on ourselves sometimes, so outside judgements make things a lot harder. The best we can do is learn from the experiences we have and challenges that we face along the way and learn from our mistakes and/or from others’ mistakes. She obviously didn’t to anything wrong to make her animals die or sick, it just happens. It’s still so hard though, heartbreaking in every way. The higher standard way of living is not dwelling on the negativity and judgements of yourself and others and standing firm, confident and positive against the odds. She is a GREAT shepherd lady to her sweet lambs. 🐑
Sandi.... I’m a doctor and I work with iodine exactly the way you do.. It’s the ‘open wound’ on the end of the navel that is susceptible to infection. Keep doing what you do no matter what anyone else says. You’re on the right track. Good for you.
I have a new respect for Iodine, and I'm no farmer.
I've had goats for 17 years. Always dipped navals myself
Goat was so strong and such a great mom. She hung on until her baby was in safe hands, YOURS. I'm not a farmer, I own a bar in Austin,Texas. Some how 3 years ago I stumbled onto your channel and fell in love with the sheep, the farm the dogs and the way you educate all us viewers. I'm so sorry for your rough days and heart aches. Hang in there, just like Goat, you are one tough lady.
🥰perfectly stated!
Sandy you've done SO MANY MIRACULOUS SAVES that you've given some of us old hands (not necessarily with sheep)a complex already...
I cried and cried, and cried some more, at the last foal I lost. She was definitely going to be *THE* LAST for her mother...I was doing"okay-ish" until the Mr., was leading the mare out to go back out on pasture, right as the vet was doing the preliminary necropsy, she was *literally* holding babe's heart in her hand, mare smelled her babe, and realised she(baby)wasn't walking right along with her, so took a deep lungfull and let out THE MOST HEARTBREAKING call for that foal! Enough that I instinctively reached down to quiet the foal...vet looked at me, smiled and said"yeesh, THAT was a rough one! Good on you, I'd have been bawling if I'd known Mum;" Pretending not to notice the tears running down my cheeks...I've had early and not so early babies from all species not make it before; but that one just hit me harder than I ever expected!
Knowing it was her Mom's last ever (it took a lot out of her, she was already quite elderly and she really declined during that pregnancy, no more chances for that) (prayed for filly)...made it worse...we'd been hoping for a "girl" to replace her mom..got that, but unfortunately, not enough "spark" to keep running..
Sandy you're not SCREWING up any messaging! Its the nature of 2nd hand information and re-interpretation, all anyone csn do is what you've just done, "advise others to talk to their own vet!" I remember sitting in a University class and a girl asked to borrow a pen, as I passed it to her, my eyes passed over the page of another student's notes, I quickly tapped HER on the shoulder and muttered a correction to what she'd *written.*
The professor was speaking about how the priests, come to *save* (and convert)the Natives of the continent had unknowingly inFected them with smallpox. The girl had written inJected...which once pointed out and discussed(in whispers) she quickly grasped; made zero sense. And was kind enough to thank me for catching it and correcting her. I still apologized for having inadvertanly read her notes but told her I wanted to catch that before it got too cemented in her mind, and therefore that much harder to correct mentally. We remained fast friends and even study buddies afterwards..despite a 2cdecade difference in ages.

Sandi never apologize for your tears. Each one you she’d just shows what an amazing loving and caring heart you have. So many look at animals and think “it’s just a dumb animal”, however, I’ve watched many of your videos and regardless of what the situation might be you always treat your sheep with so much kindness and respect. I’m a firm believer that every single living thing on this earth is a blessing and a gift from God. Thank you for sharing with us.
Sandi, thank you for sharing yourself with those of us who had farming at some time in our lives, and appreciate what you do.
I love the loving responses and respect you give those sweet sheep. After all, the animals, birds and fish were created on earth before humans, so rightly deserve all the loving and special respect given them.
So, miss Sandi, thank you for your heart-felt tears, and for sharing your precious and pretty self with us. ❤
I never thought I'd be so attached to a sheep through the internet. I cried when I realized she wasn't in the pen with her baby. You are an amazing woman. You did everything you could. Goat and G2 are up in the Heaven together runny through the green grass. I hope lambing gets better for you. It's always nice to see you happy and all your sheep doing well. Take care.❤
I cried too. I hoped that g2 would survive. Goat did her best and you made a good decision.
Well it seems the lambs have a destiny that’s probably not wool
Why I find hard watching and confused with relies
Goat kept herself going because of her babies. I’m crying as I write this. You are amazing Sandy. Gees I will miss Goat so I can only image how you feel huge hugs from Scotland uk.xx
Still get a giggle when I see the episode where Goat gets her head into the bucket after being sheared.
RIP Goat you where a good mom all the way, you gave it all you had and then some.
This is do true.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry to hear about Goat and G2. She was so lucky to have you. She loved you, too.
May they RIP together.
Oh, no! I was so hoping her lamb would survive. Her last lamb and a female...double whammy. Tripple blessing with the three live lambs but a triple heartbreak losing Goat and her twins. It's so hard being a farmer -shepherdess. Peace, Sandy.
Reading the title put a lump in my throat, so sorry to hear G2 passed as well, would have been so lovely to see Goat’s legacy go on ❤️🩹
We love you Sandi, my 84 year old mother watched spring lambing with me and told all about her little lamb she had as a child. She is the youngest of 5 children who were raised on a crop farm. They raised hogs, grew corn and peanuts, tobacco. my Grandfather died at the age of 57 and my Grandmother, kept the farm going until she was in her 80’s.
That's amazing ♥
Goat will forever be in my memory as the girl with a bucket on her head. Every time I think of it, it makes me smile. I'm going to remember how truly blessed I am that you let us get to know her.
I'm so sorry you lost her little one! It was a beautiful little freckles baby too. But because you share everything us viewers can help you carry that sadness too. You are not alone in your emotional investment. Hugs!
I'm so sorry! My husband and I just love to watch and share with you. We were so hoping that G2 would be able to help fill the loss of Goat. Keep us posted on the Ewe lambs. We are so worried for you. Try to keep smiling. Separation is hard. Love from SLC
Out of this entire barn of sheep, there is always the "special stars" that shine. Goat was born to shine, and bring such tenderness to all of us. Sandi and Clarisa, I am so sorry about the loss of Goat and little G. Goat was such a character above the other flock, and her special gentleness with be forever blanketed in spirit in our hearts and the barn. You did the right thing and shows such compassion over your feelings. That's why we love coming back week after week. May God keep you at this difficult season of letting go with Goat and Jess going to college. They do come back , from one momma to another. So don't fret Mom! Sit in the still of the night that you did good girlie!!!
Beautifully said! I'm in tears.
I cried like a baby. You did both Goats very well. They are resting in sheep heaven. She is bossing around there now.
I understand that this past week has been difficult and heartbreaking for you and yours but I admire how you hold your head up and not give up or even shield us from the ugly.
The shield viewers from the slaughter part?
I can tell you as I sit here crying, that I dreaded this video and knew when I saw the title what happened. You never should apologize for doing what you do. You are an amazing sheep farmer, and educator. You have to be because I cannot stop watching your videos. I'm a RN and I look forward to seeing what you will teach me. Thank You Sandi for being so awesome!
I'm a retired physician and I feel the same.
Whoever it was who found the video of Goat giving birth to her twins last year…thank you!!!! Just shows a happy moment and it was nice to see Sandy so happy.
This came up in my suggested videos today too!!!!!
These kinds of videos are as important as everything else you post, no apologies needed. People need to see the love, sweat, and tears that goes into food production and sometimes it's just ugly and heartbreaking.
I'm so sorry about Goat. She was a sweat girl. G2 is was cute. The white triplet has the cutest face. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
Sandi, I just went around my family and told everyone about the loss of Goat and Lil’Goat. Your love for these fuzzy creatures spreads out wide and strong, far greater than you may realize. And through this amazing interconnected community we send love and support back to you, your family and sheep (named or unnamed). Goat was 100% cared for. You did it all the best possible. We hope the rest of lambing is less eventful.
I’m sorry for your loss Sandi, it’s was clear to see that Goat loved you dearly.
I know these losses have been hitting hard but you show how much you care about each of them through your actions and your emotions. I've been watching your videos for 3 years now and never once have I doubted how much you care for your animals. I am currently in veterinary school and you are one of the reasons I first started becoming interested in caring for sheep
I'm so sorry about Goat and little G2's passing. We all knew that Goat was going to have to be released to paradise but I was praying hard that little girl would make it. Keeping you, Carissa and your family in our prayers.
Did it say G2 passed away also ? I missed it I thought she was doing well ?
@@hayleysales158 it said so at the end of the video. I missed it the first time I watched it... that's just so sad :(
I'm so sorry to hear. She was so loved by you and everyone on here. Take the good memories with you.
Ugh I missed the part that little goat past. SANDY IM SOO SORRY
It is good you show this Sandy, farming isn't always a walk in the park that is for sure. I am so sorry you lost all of your babies even de big one. I was realy rooting for the G2, so sad it didn't make it. It was such a pretty lamb too.
Sorry for your loss Sandi! Just know this! YOU'RE DOING A SUPER JOB!!!!! you're the most compassionate person I know hands down! we're all in your corner! :)
I'm glad you had a vet there, examining, explaining the science, giving you facts, directions and hope. You will take that knowledge and better serve as a shepherd of the flock. Blessings to you as you nurture creation. Farming is full frontal living: the good the bad and the sad. You are living deeply and be proud of your journey. Well done with Goat and babies.
Love when theres a notification that you've posted. Even when it's a sad video. The best thing about hard times is that they will pass. Much love from Texas!!! ❤ and in case no one has reminded you lately... you're amazing!!!
Never ! What??? I’ve seen you save tons of babies that were in deaths door . Sandi give yourself grace . ❤️
Make sure you’ve got people to talk to with everything you have going on. Your such a great mental health advocate . Make sure your advocating for
You too!
I’m so sorry for all your loses this week. Every living baby is a blessing from God! 💕💕
My heart hurts that Goat and G2 are gone. I've shed enough tears to
as I say "clean my sinuses out".
You can take a moment to grieve and prepare for the blessings coming soon. You are one tough broad. 💕🐑
Oh Sandi, my heart breaks for you. What a rotten turn. You and Goat, and little goat (G2) were such a team. Sending hugs and prayers for health and fortitude as this lambing season continues. More happy healthy triplets and cute eyelashes on lambs.
Sis, you didn't give us false hope, we were all hoping everything would be ok too. Don't let the nay-sayers get to you. Those of us who know you, know how hard you work to take care of your flock and your farm, you put everything you have and are into making sure everyone is ok and has the very best that you can provide. No one else could possibly do any better!! I am truly sorry it's been such a rough start this round, but as a farm raised girl, we know that rough rounds are going to happen. So we are all here to help you get back on your feet and start again. I know how much you hurt and I wish I was able to give you a hug in person!! 💜~Pam
Well what a horrible, horrible start to this year's fall lambing for you Sandi. My fingers are crossed that the triplets mark a turning point and things will start to look up now.
I can hardly see to type I'm crying so much. I'm so sorry for your many losses. You have handled them with grace. Once again you have proven not all superheroes have capes.
Sandi, my heart is breaking for you and Goat. She knows you did everything humanly possible for her. And, she was able to see and love on her last baby. Better days ARE coming. God bless
😭😭I started watching this video 10 months ago and couldn’t handle the grief & sadness so I had to click away. I finally circled back to finish watching. You are so amazing & strong. So sorry that Goat & G2 didn’t make it. OMG the cuteness overload @ 23:35. 😍🤩💝
Goat stuck around, did what she needed to do, and went out proud. I'm sorry you had to lose her. Hopefully this little one stays strong. She's goat's. She has to.
I’m so sorry on the loss of Goat and her babies as well as all the lambs so far. It is incredibly hard to watch but it has to be far harder on you being with them day in and day out. As someone who isn’t familiar with the workings of farms, I appreciate your honesty in all aspects of the process including the hard losses.
There is NEVER false hope….HOPE is always that, HOPE!
Even hopeless contains hope
I am so sorry. The reason I got out of raising goats was that my heart couldn't take the loss anymore. Time will make things better, but for now go ahead and mourn Goat and her babies. *hugs*
At those hard times I would often remember "So God Made A Farmer"
Isn't it crazy how you can fall in love with an animal that you never actually met? Yet here I am... crying over a sheep that I've never seen in person.
I'm so sorry for your loss Sandi, but I'm sure Goat is with Ruthie in sheep heaven... playing with all the pails that she can find
I'm with ya, that ending shot with her putting her head to head with the baby, and then the ending black screen..
. Sitting on my couch right now in a puddle.
Im so confused. If she can love/has empathy for sheep then it must be that she doesn't send their babies to be killed right?
@@mesCheerios well technically she's only sending the lambs to market. So it depends on who buys them, whether they go to be killed.
@@mesCheerios why are you here? Clearly you don't like the meat industry so why watch videos that you know are going to upset you?
If you're trying to rile me up. I say meh, circle of life. People gotta eat. And if humans weren't farming the sheep, they'd just get eaten by a wolf or coyote.
Don't act like the only reason sheep (or any other livestock) get killed before they're natural old age, is because of humans. And stay off farming channels/out of their comment section, if all you're looking for is to shame/guilt people for eating meat
So very sorry about Goat and G2. It would have been great if G2 had survived and you could keep her, but sometimes we don't get the happy?/happier? endings we wish for. It was definitely Goat's time. Thanks for sharing the info from your vet. I am sure that was hard for you. Take care of yourself, please. It has been a rough stretch. We all love you and wish we could help you deal with the losses. Hugs from California.
I'm so sorry about the start of lambing. You didn't need that what with sending your youngest lamb off to college this weekend. I have been thinking about you all week and hoping it would get better.
What a beautiful thing to say: "sending your youngest lamb off to college".
Old Yorkshire farmers are well known for saying, "Where there's life, there's hope." It may be false hope, but it's part of our DNA.
I'm so sorry to hear about goat and G2 I'm sat here crying ,goat was such a big part of your flock she will be missed thoughts and prayers are with you at this hard time ,rip goat and G2
Sending hugs Sandi. I bet we all shed some tears today for Goat and all the wee babies. I'm so sorry, but she must have known she was loved right to the end. 💖💖💖
Oh, this was so sad, I'm sorry you lost Big Goat and Little Goat. I admire you so much for the love and hard work you put into your herd. You're one strong woman! 🐑💞
I'm so sorry for your loss, we will all miss Goat, I had really hoped that little Goat could had made it 😔 I'm still grateful that you have share this with us as sad as it may be. Sending lots of love and support your way every day!! ❤❤❤
This is the one video that actually had me in tears. Like an end to an Era, the GOAT Era. 💔 Just keep telling yourself Sandy, it WILL get better, because inevitably it will. Love everything you do lady!
I cried too
Sandi, we don't keep sheep but we do have 16 goats, many are pregnant. I so appreciate you sharing the struggles. It helps everyone realise what farming really looks like and that with success comes some measure of loss. You sharing your journey has meant loads to me, thank you!
15:22. Poor Goat, and you.
I’ve been watching your channel for 2-3 years now. Your tenderness and confidence toward the sheep really shows. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Pat
I love how organized you are! It makes SUCH a difference, when things are going fast! I really like the 3/4" needles, I find that the longer the needle, the more they want to flex when the animal moves, and I'm always a bit concerned the long ones will snap. It's awesome to see you growing and learning as you go, even when the lessens are hard ones.
I was *devastated* when I heard about Goat’s lamb yesterday on IG. 😭 Goat was so sad but also expected… and her little one was the embodiment of hope. Somehow harder to watch it the second time, knowing what’s coming.
I’m so sorry about Goat and G2. That’s so sad, but she had a great life and was clearly your favorite. I especially enjoyed when she would get the bucket stuck on her head ❤️
Sandy I grew up and have been around cattle my whole life mostly dairy some beef. I know the feeling of having to put one down ,especially a favorite, they all tug at the heart but some much more than others. Thanks for always showing all aspects not just the good times. You and your channel are great ambassadors for agriculture, stay strong. You are much appreciated !
My heart goes out to you guys because I know Goat was a part of the family to you. I'm so happy you were strong enough to give her the humane ending she deserved.
Goat was a beautiful girl. I’m so glad that she had you to care for her during her illness. Y’all did right by her and I’m so glad the vet was able to examine her. I’m sorry that G2 didn’t make it, either. I hope that better lambing days are ahead. That sweet pure white lamb triplet made my heart melt, though.
I wasn't as vested in Goat as I've only been around a year. However, I'm bummed little G isn't around to sooth us and make us laugh at lambpede. 😥
😢💔😩
Before I even watch this i want to say i am personally sorry for all of your hard times. Hang in there, this pain too, shall pass. Hugs & love
I am literally crying. Goat will definitely be missed
Watching these videos show me how hard raising animals can be. I’m an animal lover and I cry when I watch them die. I root for the underdogs & always feel they have a chance, up until their last breath. I cry with you on bad days, cheer with you on good days!
I admire you & look forward to each video.
Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge with us.
May you always be blessed with love, happiness, good health and tons of healthy baby lambs.
My dream is to start homesteading. I want to raise my own food.
My heart is very heavy for you, Goat, and G2. We have all watched you pour your love into caring for Goat and I believe she hung on as long as she did for you!
With everything you’ve got going on right now: all the preemies, Jack going back to school, Jess starting school, Goat and then G2, I’ve said some prayers for you to have strength. I hope you are ok with that. I know you will (as my mom always used to say to me) pick your chin up and carry on. Just know that we are thinking of you fondly as you push through this time.
My heart breaks for you on the passing of Goat. You taught us all so much through Goat's illness, including the compassion, empathy, and courage to love and care for our animals through your example. Thank you for sharing your kind heart and all of the experiences, good, bad, educational, funny, sad and certainly heartfelt. Lots of tears this week - including daughter heading off to uni. You are da bomb! Love your channel. xxoo
Oh, Sandi, my heart breaks for you!! That is the downside to raising and caring for living things, dealing with the losses as well as the births. PLEASE ignore the haters and listen to us farm-gals and those that love and support you. This is a tough year for everyone... I feel like 2021 looked at 2020 and said. "oh yeah? hold my beer."
So true!
My condolences on the loss of G2, I was so hoping that she would've lived on to grow up to be like her mama. Goat was given a compassionate and loving passing. As for other farmers criticizing you there is no one way to be a sheep farmer. Do what works best for you and with the advice and guidance of your vet-that is what matters and through learning via problem solving.
Sandi we love you! People don’t realize how attached we get to our animals. You did the best you could for Goat and Lil Goat! I had to wait a few hours before responding to the video, who would have thought that a grouchy old marine would be affected by the loss of a ewe and a lamb. You are the best storyteller, and the ultimate shepherd.
Sandi you truly have such a love for your babies and it shows. I love watching how genuine you are and how great you are with your lambs.
Thank you for sharing your family and experiences with us. You truly are the best!
Life as a farmer or rancher is evolving. I'm glad you are on the forefront of change & educating so many on what this lifestyle takes.
I’m so sorry for the losses. Unfortunately it’s part of farming. My deepest condolences on losing your sweet Goat. She loves you so much and you her. You did everything you could to help her. I’m sorry Little Goat didn’t make. You did everything right. You are following your vet’s instructions. If others can’t or won’t understand that, it’s their problem. You are doing an AMAZING job with your sheep. You are AMAZING!! Keep doing what you do!! Hugs…
and now little G2 has joined her mother. We are so saddened by these losses.
So sorry about Goat.
I’ve just cried my eyes out, seeing her baby on it’s own in the pen.
I lovd it when you put the lambs in the basket bus and their doting mommies follow. It's just precious!
I know this was a month ago, but I'm so sorry for your losses. It's so hard, the job that you have. You're a really good person Sandi ❤️❤️
😭😭😭😭
You gave Goat the best life. You did everything you could to keep her happy and comfortable. You did the compassionate thing and ended her life when her quality of life was not good. RIP Goat, she was one of a kind and will be missed.
So sorry for your loss sandi I know how much goat ment to you she’s been a delight to watch I still remember the video when she got the bucket on her head she’ll always have a place in all our hearts
My heart breaks with you Sandi. Goat was (and is) a treasure. Your sheep are more than a commodity, they're your life's work. You treat them with love and respect. Sad that the little one didn't make it. Praying for you, especially for when Jess leaves.
Aww poor goat, I had to grab a tissue before I watched it, I can’t imagine how difficult it was for you to do & then loosing her little baby too 😢 thinking of you all & fingers crossed that lambing starts to get better for the rest of the sheep mummies & you from now on, keep going Sandi much love to you xx
Sandi people all think they know everything! I have been on a farm my entire life although not sheep, cattle, pigs etc. and I can tell you truly care about your flock. The fact that you speak to your vet on such a frequent basis and have them out so often tells me you are doing what it takes to care for your babies!! I truly Love Your Videos and my 20 month old granddaughter is now addicted too!! She grabs my phone and “Goat Nana!”
Sandi, I’m so very sorry about Goat & G2. I cried most of that day right along with you. And never apologize for having hope ! You are 1 of the most compassionate, loving farmers I know. Just remember, those that love and respect you…got your back. And everyone, please be kind….this was a very hard video and she’s had a very hard week. Sending love and prayers 💗🤗🐑💗
Sandi I am so so sorry for the loss of Goat and little G2. She was definitely one in a billion!
Thank you for showing the hard and awful parts as well as the amazing beauty of farming/sheep life. I am a recovering dairy farmer and miss it, but not all of it. Losing calves was the hardest.
So many are holding your broken heart in their hands… You’re not alone Sandy we will miss Goat… Much love❤️🩹❤️🩹💝🙏
I’m so sorry about Goat! Praying her baby grows strong!!! RIP Goat!
I wish there was a love button. Your vlogs aren’t just information on farming and sheep, they’re long stories… chapter after chapter of “reading” , joy and heartache, excitement, drama, laughter, pathos, family dynamics… it’s thrilling and so satisfying. Keep going Sandi because we love you! Goat was a star.
I am astonished that people have been cruel in their comments! This has obviously been so hard on you. I am interested to hear if you find out what’s going on with the ewe lambs. Please keep on as you can.
People criticizing have no business being in the comment sections
I'm just trying to understand if you have an animal that is about the end of her life why would you breathe her and carry a baby? How was that the best thing do for her? I'm just trying to understand this. Can you help me?
@@SiothaVest it's called opinion. If you can't handle different opinions or questions or comments exspecially on living creatures that God put on this Earth then maybe the person shouldnt have a channel.
I don't mean to be snooty or rude just giving my opinion. Thank you for the time.
@@louann4992 What I gathered from the videos: Sandi didn't know Goat was sick when she bred her, she only noticed that something was off when Goat started to get skinnier, even though she should've gained weight. A lot of tests had to be done and when she finally got the result, she said that she would let it go as long as Goat looked comfortable and wasn't noticably in pain.
@@louann4992 and I won't argue it. However as a farmer... so new no one takes us serious...but know for my farm they go out with love and dignity. Often a hard choice when family doesn't see the suffering... I welcome others opinions and hold my self accountable to my animals - online is a beast and I'll never know if the other person's disagreement would end up influencing us until I hear them out.
Aww sooo sorry about goat and little goat 😭 my heart breaks for you…she was such a fighter and little goat was sooo adorable 🥰 keep up the great work you do Sandi ❤️👍🏻 I know this must be tough…😕
Such a trying day, but that little lamb is so sweet.....prayers!
I’m so sorry 😢 this was a heartbreaking video!
Keep strong, pray, you’re a wonderful person, so compassionate, and a wonderful sheep farmer! ❤️
So sorry about goat!! You gave her a good life and did the right thing for her at the end . You're doing a great job sandy, don't let anyone tell you any different ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
I am so sorry about Goat, her other lamb, and all your other losses this fall lambing. Also I'd like to thank you so much for all the wisdom and knowledge I appreciate it very much as I'm sure most if not all of your followers do. You've also helped me decide that the next phase of my journey is going to be working toward achieving my other dream of having a farm. Bless you all
So so sorry Sandy. You did everything you could for Goat and all of the little lambs. There must be some virus causing all the premies. I hope there aren't any more, but please have them tested if there are. You are real and it is very obvious how much you care about all of your sheep.
I just started watching you this year. I love what you do. You are so awesome! Please never stop!!!!
I'm in tears and can't imagine how heartbroken you are. I'm going to miss watching Goat's antics and wish G2 had survived 😥
Did I miss something, because G2 was clearly alive at the end. Might not make it because so small, but not gone yet...
Splendid. There was a written msg at the end that G2 did not make it. It just flashes quickly before some of it is obscured by other video popping up.
I cried too
Out of all the videos I have watched by Sandi, this one really tore my heart. I get weepy when there are sick lambs and moms, but this one really got me.
I have never seen someone tend to their sheep as well as you do and you always take everything to heart when some thing goes wrong. I have watched you for quite a while and know you do everything possible for the welfare of you flock. What I do notice is the confidence level when you are talking to your audience. When you explain things about what the Vet or some other specialist said, you always advised the audience to talk to their own vet regarding these issues, but you always say " I am likely going to mess this up" or " I am likely wrong". You are an awesome roll model for future farmers. You do need to give yourself credit for what you do and quit talking your self down. Feel Great for what you do for your family and animals.
I am crying with you Sandy, I am so sorry for your loss, you are braver than most🥺🥺🥺
I have watched nearly all ur vlogs but this one was the hardest even after seeing ur post on fb.Sat here in tears and i'm so sorry for ur loss but fingers crossed that things get better for u xx RIP Goat and baby girl xx
I’m so sorry Sandi. Little Goat just wanted to be with her mama!
Hoping for better days to come!!! 🐑
Prayers for better days and weeks ahead! I’m so sorry farmers are some of the toughest people I know but deep down they all have those soft spots for special ones! Sending your family so much love and light.
Absolute 10/10 Aussie sheep person newbie here, I understand the broken heart. I tell myself - he/ she/ they died warm and dry. That is most important to me. Because they are. Truly love your work.
