Sandi, I have never commented, but I feel compelled to do so because I like to give balance to the rudeness of those who point out whether you drink water, moisten your lips or color your hair. This is not a beauty or a health/fitness channel. I watch because you are genuine, hard working, and you do it all with a heart of gold. I won't tell you to ignore the rudeness. That's impossible. Just know that what matters most about you and what you share with us is seen and appreciated by those who value a hard-working family who loves what they do. All of you are inspiring! Thank you!
I agree with You completely. I find the honesty, hard work, and respect that Sandi has for the animals under her care to be absolutely refreshing!! I understand how difficult it is to be so authentic and honest about life. I truly wish the negative nellies would go away, but I also acknowledge that they won't. I agree that jealousy is probably the driver.
My mother always said that those who are critical of others are actually trying to make themselves feel better. The critics are people who don't know you but probably feel jealous of your success, the number of followers you have and the closeness you have with your family. The comments are meant to hurt so they can feel that moment of superiority. Pity them, and remember the number of people who love this channel out number those that think they have a right to criticize you.
The little sheep, with the not good front legs, you have given her a good quality of life. And once the quality of life isn’t good anymore, sometimes you have to make the hard choices and you always do it very humanly and respectfully.
I agree 100%. She will continue to grow and add more and more stress to those legs. Soon, she will likely lose her mobility and be in pain and no quality of life. Sanctuaries are nice and I respect what they do, but they want the animals they take in to be able to live comfortably. It's inhumane to keep an animal alive and suffering when there's no chance of fixing the problem for them to eventually be comfortable. Although short, she has had a good life and I trust Sandi won't let her suffer.
Absolutely. I’m a bioethicist, and one area I work in is animal ethics, including protocols for animal husbandry, experiments, etc. I would never condone allowing a lamb like Spider to live much longer - or even having gotten to this stage, to be honest. Without a vet assuring me, after numerous tests, that there was no harm to Spider - something I think anyone can see just watching her try to move - and no pain, I simply couldn’t say keeping the lamb alive and growing to full weight was a humane action. And that has nothing to do with Sandi being a sheep farmer first or whatever - I cannot see a positive quality of life for this sheep at a sanctuary, and would recommend the same thing to a sanctuary. Those joints are eventually going to roll, pull, and even possibly break under the weight of an adult ewe…
I would have said the Golden Girls would be good companions.... but there is a bully in that group.... so I agree with Sandi on this. Am sad there is no alternative.
I actually MUCH prefer this style of Q&A with Sandi answering questions as she's going about her day rather than a sit down style which would be a bit boring for my liking. This way we get to see the chores, animals, and family while we get the skinny. I REALLY love the more personal aspect she's introduced over the last few years. I already loved her channel but I LOVE the personal aspect even more!
I come from a working-class family. To the yahoos who come to a sheep farming channel expecting fashion and glamour, kindly move along. Your hard work and dedication to your craft are very evident and bring me and tons of others much joy. Happy New Year!
To wish cancer on someone or call it karma is disgusting, especially as a survivor. It's worse then telling someone to go to he!l or to drop dead. In my eyes, it makes the person who said it worthless and I lose all respect for them. You look good girl. That commentor that commented on your appearance is shallow and no matter how much they gussy themselves up, will still be gross on the inside. Happy New Year
Yeah that cancer/karma comment was so incredibly disgusting! Those type of nasty ass vegans truly tick me off. For one, their superiority complex is absolutely through the roof. They TRULY believe that THEIR way is the ONLY way and anyone who doesn't fall in line is less than. 2nd, these types of vegans that say these nasty things about someone, calling them baby killers and such, are the BIGGEST hypocrites! Those fruits and vegetables they eat are often grown in monocultures that kill every single insect or ground animals that live in the soil or fly so these huge corporations can grow them. They kill more "animals" in a single season than Sandi does in 10 yrs. The dairy industry gets the worst of the hate, imo. It's the hypocrisy for me! Cuz while they're making the hateful comments they're doing it on a phone or walking in shoes that uses animal byproducts to make since every single part of the animals are used.
Sandi, for 2025 I would love to see you trust yourself more, and recognize your strengths and successes. I am in awe of what you do and it hurts my heart when you speak negatively about yourself. You haven’t failed at the sheep for 10 years… you have learned lessons and made positive changes, overcome adversity and built an amazing brand. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!🎉
Leave Sandi alone,if you don't have anything good to say,don't say anything at all.Simply find something else to watch.Sandi your an awesome farmer.Wishing the very best in 2025!!!Lots prayers,and Love to you Sandi.❤
I once told online about when my firstborn was diagnosed with a genetic illness, and the old man doctor told me to get sterilized so I didn’t have another one “like that”. I went on to have four more children who are all healthy. The “sick” one has also done well - grew up, did college, had a career, married, had two kids…and still doing well. However…the comments I received saying how I was reckless, selfish, etc. because I had more kids! It shocked me what nasty things people think they have the right to say to strangers on the internet. You were generous to share your experiences with Jess last year, and I really respect you for that. Have a blessed new year!
I'm so sorry the doctor said that. That stinks. Hopefully doctors today look at the Mom & Dad to what their wishes are with empathy. I'm thankful you didn't listen to that old school doctor!❤️
You were selfish and reckless. You gambled with the health of your children because you just needed to breed. Lucky for them, they were not as unlucky as your first born. My family carries a serious genetic disease and non of us gambled after we found out.
The comment about Jess sent my blood pressure through the roof. I have a daughter who went through very similar circumstances and my mom’s heart wanted to hit out. However, like someone else said, some people just feel superior putting others down when in truth they are the ones with the true problem. ❤ I don’t do most social media but never miss your videos. They bring joy to my heart.
That comment about Jess was totally uncalled for!! That person needs to reflect on what they said!! How could someone say such a thing!! I am appalled on Sandi's behalf!! Some folks need to shut up instead of saying vile stuff like that!! Sandi, Happy New Year and I love your vlogs!! Please keep being yourself!! I thank God for Jess's great outcome!! May Almighty God continue to bless you, your family and your land and businesses!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Why and how can anyone say anything about Jess and her illness? She's a fighter, a hero and amazing❣️ Sandi is a hard worker, she's very empathetic, loving farmer❤🐑
Me too!! My son went through brain cancer at 17 & what we went through together will always keep us close. If anyone said that about him I would be RIDING AT DAWN!!! Some people are heartless ghouls!!
I'm with you! Sandi and family are so lovely. Perfectly imperfect. May those horribly hateful people have the year they deserve 🤬 wish they'd keep their hate to themselves.
Your decision on spider lamb is the correct one. The deformity is such that it would really increasingly debilitate her and more weight would make it worse. Keeping an animal alive when it’s obvious that they are so extremely debilitated it’s more about the person who makes that decision than the needs of the animal. Don’t let the comments that come in to cry your decision make you feel bad. You’re doing the most loving kind thing you can for that poor little lamb.
Yep, Americans tend to believe that everything should go perfectly. In reality, all sorts of things happen that are subpar. Not everything ends well. No, Life isn't precious. It happens by accident. It's only precious when we make it so. Part of that is dispatching those who are suffering horribly. No, our habit of prolonging the suffering of those around us simply bc we don't want to lose them is selfish and evil and needs to stop. We need to deal in reality and the reality is sometimes the kindest thing to do is put a animal down. No, I told my partner long ago that if my pain got too bad I'm checking out. (I have systemic CRPS aka the worst form of the world's most painful condition) Luckily he totally gets it. No, humans should have the right to say no. I don't care what the gov says. It's not their business if I stick around or not. I refuse to suffer just so corporations can make more money.
Please stop telling yourself you "failed" in the first 10 years of lambing. Thank you for sharing your sheep, your farm and your family with us. Wishing you health, happiness and good health in 2025 and beyond.
Never apologize about how you do things. You are real and grounded. Too many people are disconnected from Mother Earth and the life cycle. Their judgment is based in ignorance. Kudos to you and your beautiful heart. ❤
Happy New Year to the Brock family! 🎉🎊🥳 Sandi, I for one think your spontaneity in your videos is much more appealing than a scripted video. We’re here to see life on a farm, not a presentation!! I personally love the adorable chaos that happens on every Sheepishly me episode. I’ve been watching from the beginning and you’ve blossomed so incredibly into a channel that literally millions of people clamor to watch. We watch what we love so don’t think you need to completely revamp what was already working! We love you just the way you are!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the above is so true please let those nasty people go to H....I m in my 89 yrs. Retired cow calf operation so I know how hard it is to farm with animals.
A very happy new year to you Sandi and your family and Carissa too. You have come so far over the years and are so valued and appreciated for all you do. Thank you for feeding people. Thank you for inviting "the people" into your barn, home, life. You are such an inspiration for women all over. Keep on ignoring the haters and accept the gratitude and love from the majority. Thanks and praise, with love, from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️
Totally agree with what you said, when I saw the Peterborough I said hay neighbour lol but then I realised I am Peterborough, England UK but close enough for me😁
Sandi, i affectionately say to my other half, i am watching my Canadian sheep farmer. You are not mine, of you are one of the very few channels i religiously watch. i love everything about you and your lovely family. I have the biggest smile on my face when watching. You are a beautiful person with the biggest heart, keep being you ❤
I call her "Sandi, you-know-my sheep-lady" to my husband and a few friends who know I'm obsessed with SheepishlyMe. My husband now knows her as just "Sandi ", when I relate something here that reminds me of something she has said or done. It's like she is a close friend to me. She has really become part of my everyday life and I wouldn't have it any other way. ❤🎉
I CANNOT believe anyone would say CRAP like that!!! I LOVE you Sandi! I'm proud of you & so GRATEFUL you share your life with us. I've always dreamed of having a husband farmer/rancher, growing my own food, having all the animals and it never happened. I'm 50 this year and have been single my whole life, so having you let's me get to experience how some of my dream might have been. THANK YOU!!
The floor turned out BEAUTIFUL, Mark!!! Sandi, Mark, Jess, Jack, and Carissa too - you all have my prayers that this coming year will overflow with Health, Joy, and the Wonderful Blessings of Christ! Stay safe and know that you are all loved!
I can’t remember how I found your channel but I do remember with Covid and working as an ED nurse, I needed to get away from Covid and began watching your channel in 2020. I saw one video from 2020 and immediately went and started at the beginning. As a city girl from Alberta who only knew about cows and chickens from years back on my grandparents farm, watching your sheep was a learning experience and still is. As I close in on my retirement, I look forward to having your channel to follow. To those so worried about your hair, maybe they should follow real estate agents, to see the impeccably dressed , perfect make up and hair , lol. I have given up on my short hair looking good just wearing toques in the winter walking the dogs. During Covid, my hair was a disaster wearing scrub caps constantly. If those complaining people watched your full videos, they would see that when you need to get all spiffy, you look fabulous. I would like to see those people at 0430 getting up to go work in a barn, lol. You go girl, you are real.
As I close in on 70, I realized that I needed a wig. I have found one that I love and nobody knows that it's a wig and I look great all the time. It was $18.00 on Amazon and now I've got two more identical wigs. I just use bobbyy pins to secure it. I heartily recommend getting one. I feel pretty every time I go out.
I can’t believe people can say such vile words! You have a good swear at them Sandi and then delete and block them. You’ve had a tough time and you and your children are a credit to being real. Stay positive sweetheart and keep being you ❤❤❤ Happy New Year to you all 🎉
Sandi, I watch every single blog BECAUSE you are GENUINE! If you had perfect hair (which no one has unless the stare in the mirror & fix it every 2 seconds), wore make up & lipstick (you kidding me? I'm lucky to get that on running out the door to an event) or those fake 2 inch long eyelashes (Bleck!🤢), I would feel you were a fake farmer! Never forget, YOU ARE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT just the way we were intended to be. As much as we tell you to ignore the meanies, I never realized just how crude some people could be until I saw those messages. They are the pathetic ones trying to hide arsenic under icing. You have undertook what most of us would have never even tackled. And YOU DID IT!👍🏻💪🏻 So try to take a breath & sing 🎵"I did it MY WAY"🎶 So proud of you!!! I'm in agreement with you about Spider. Sure we will shed a tear but like always, you keep the best interest of your sheep in mind. That's what makes you YOU with a great flock!!💞 Floor looks AMAZING!! Great Job! Love Jesses curls!! 2025 is going to be a fantastic year!!!🤗
Farmers' mental health is being attacked. It's more & more a lonely business because of all the 'labour-saving' huge machines. Old farmers still congregate at the few coffee shops in small towns that haven't been closed down. I'm happy & proud that we in the Brock Flock have 2-way communication & support for Sandi & her family 💕💕
I live in a small town and yes the old boys get together for coffee every morning about 9:30. And don't get them started on the weather! They are a hardy bunch.
At the diner I work at, we open at 6am, and the farmers are waiting in line for us to open. They all sit together at 1 table, which is lovingly called the bs table, lol. They stay until about 7, 730 then head off to their daily jobs.
Sandi......ignore, ignore, ignore. There is one born every minute, Being "holier than thou" bring some people great pleasure. My children ( now adult) tell me I swear as if I was raised on a building site.....tough!!!!!
Your comment reminded me of being a nurse on a open heart step down unit, I had a PT. that was a truck driver tell us His truck driver pals had nothing on us. LOL. ( It was a bad night, shift starts at 11PM, if things are nuts before midnight, F bombs are flying.)
I don't smoke or drink or date married men but oh my, i do swear. Fortunately my children decided early on that having a potty mouth wasn't for them. A neighbour said it wasn't until the third "god i hate being a woman followed by a string of swears" that he realized i was not able to get the manual pull cord on the lawnmower to go. I now do electric starts on everthing! Less swearing involved.
Don’t feel bad.( it’s ok I know you don’t 😂😂) I told I swear like a sailor! Or sometime my mouth could fertilize a whole field.😊😂😂 I almost never swear at people or animals.
I'm a swear bear IRL 🐻 but I'm a bit like Sandi, and stuff gets in ...I got here via @TaraFarms, and I love how Tara cusses out the horrible people 😂 I live vicariously watching Tara take them down. I don't understand why people have to be mean or put their two cents in, when people create RUclips stuff ... don't like it, don't watch! Not everything is for you. I was born in the city and love farming, and I can share in it because wonderful people let me watch them farm. Thanks for doing what you do, Sandi 💕
Sandi, I want to tell you something...you are really a life saver to me. For 3 years I have watched your U tube videos. When life happens, and I am sad, I watch "the lambs!". Lost my husband in 2023, your wonderful attitudes and those precious lambs lifted my spirits many, many times. Dont change anything! Love you and your family!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I agree that I find the "Sheepishly Me" videos so uplifting. Even those that deal with difficult subjects like when to humanely end a life that no longer has a good quality of life. That is just part of the choices you have to make when you allow animals to be such a wonderful part of your life. GOD gave us dominion over these animals and I have always been amazed at the cruel, heartless and stupid remarks that people make. I watch Sandi's you tube videos as soon as I get the notification that they are available.
I'm so sorry your husband isn't with us right now. 🫂 Same here re spirits. Over the last few years, I haven't been able to smile a lot. But the lambs lift my heart and the little jumps etc. Sandi helps so many people and she doesn't even know it.
I lost my husband in2021. That is when I really began to watch you tube. Sandi Brock was one of the first channels that I subscribed to. I grew up in the country with farmers all around. Sandi's channel is a great look at farming from the inside, the choices that need to be made and the heart ache of doing so. I have never seen a beauty show inside a tractor or a barn. Hard work doesn't always show us at our best. Sandi Brock you are enough. Keep up the great work and just be you.
Awww Patricia, I’m so sorry for your loss, there is something very consoling about cute little lambs bobbing about when you’re at a low ebb, you keep watching Sandi, she’s good for the soul. It’s possibly not the right time just now to wish you a ‘Happy’ New Year but it is a New Year for you to find your coping strategies and I truly wish you a better year, please accept a virtual huggle 🤗
My father told me and my siblings, "It doesn't matter what you take upon yourself." I told my son the same thing. I think it's important to remember that it's not about what you do, but how you do it. If you are going to be a Doctor, a priest, a waiter, or even a ditch digger give it the best of yourself. At the end of the day you will know you did your very best. Sandy, it shows that you give every part of youself to your husband, children, your flock and your new online business. Leave all the nasty comments behind. Just ask yourself if they could do any better, probally not. You are an inspiration to many. You go Girl.
Sandi , a fav quote of mine " Effort is Effort ..IF you made an effort , you already WON, IF you don't , you already have failed" ...LOOK AT YOU WIN !!! no matter how big , small , different YOU HAVE WON! and just watching you win has been such a joy to watch and that includes everything ..and as far as you " plan ing " a video , pfft naw you are good , because you sometimes just can't plan life and that is what makes your channel authentic , so keep winning and let those losers rot in their morbid little corner
It hurts my heart to read the cruel comments people make. Just know we love you and your family and I'm grateful for all you share with us. Happy and prosperous new year for you and your loved ones.
I'm delighted that RUclips subscribers & merch customers add monetarily to Sandi's operation. But I'm even more stoked that Sandi, who she is & what she does is so therapeutic for so many of us. And I'm glad that we give her some love & affirmation. Sandi & the Brock Flock help shore up my faith that maybe the world can be a good place. Thank you! all of you!💕💕
You are enough Sandi, hard working and a genius teaching us. I said this before but I feel your channel should be mandatory in schools. You bring me joy.
Love you letting us have a look at the real life of your farm. As for Spidey, I am a firm believer in quality vs quantity in life of our animals. Thank you for making the best choice you could for her.
I am in awe of the cruelty some of those commenters displayed. In what world is it okay to say things like that to another person? You have mentioned ‘mean’ comments before but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine them to be so awful. You are a stronger person than me! I would be in the fetal position crying. Farming is not easy. And anyone watching your channel just for the cuteness of lambs needs to educate themselves on the food chain and where our food comes from. I have never had lamb, but would definitely want it to come from a farm like yours where the animals are well cared for and loved. We have 10 sheep (pets and lawn mowers). We lost a lamb just the other day unexpectedly. Never easy. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Saddens me that people make unkind comments....because you are such a kind and caring person! I LOVE your YT channel and your family! Keep up the great work and the wonderful way you keep us informed. You're doing a great job to be able to make me (and I'm sure many others) that we are part of the farm and family. It really says something that even through the internet, I consider you a dear friend. :)
You know what my mom would say, if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. I loved your video today and your answering the questions. Have a wonderful new year!
Sandi bringing Courtney on will continue be a source of peace for you - and you have a community of virtual friends that think you and your family are beautiful
Sandi, one thing I've learned in life, is you do what you have to do. You're doing it humanely and with the health and safety of your flock in mind. You're loved and I think the world of you
Thank you Sandi. Thank you for putting yourself out there for everyone to see. I’m sorry that some people feel the need to be hurtful but just know that you are loved by a great number of us. I can’t wait to see you next time ! ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃
Sandi, block the nasty people! You don't deserve to be abused, and we won't stand for you to be abused! Love you and your family, and dogs, sheep, barns.... all the Brock things! Thank each of you for all you do intentionally, and unintentionally for your channel! You have so many jobs, most of us could only hope to keep up, not to mention actually making it happen. Hugs, love and best wishes for this New Year to all of you! ♥♥♥
The spider lamb and the ewe with the bad shoulder have been given time by you to enjoy life for a while longer in a safe, loving environment under your expert care. The effort you put into your flock speaks of your big heart.❤
Sandi SO GOOD to watch your end of year blog. Dear Mark works SO HARD - he is very much the multi-tasker 🎉❤. I LOVE watching you both work together too, you often just slip into helping mode which is great. I'd like to say that people who say horrible things that they are the ones with the problem. Something eating away at them on the inside that they can't cope with anyone being nice or doing well. I would pray that God will change their attitude or just let their comments go in ine ear and out the other, and continue being who you are and doing what you do. A very happy new year to you all. God bless yous. Jan 💕💕💕💕
Some people are cruel, say cruel things,do cruel things. You are enough. You are so kind to allow us into your life. I prayed for Jess to be cancer free, prayed for you and your family during hard times, there are many viewers who love you, delete, delete, delete. Can’t wait for your next video!
I really like the idea that everything is reused somewhere on the farm. It is the "circle of life" Thanks for sharing your farming life! I'm or was a city kid, I'm an old lady now, but learning how things work is interesting to me.
Thank you Sandi for all you do and share with the world. You are more than enough !!!! If someone criticizes you about your appearance or that your sheep may or may not end up being food, they need to find another channel. This is not for them. You, Mark, Jack, and Jess are some of the hardest working, most loving humans on the planet. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge with the world. I hope all of you have an amazing 2025. See you in the next one.
I'm not a farmer but I love watching you because you're genuinely sweet and bring joy to a lot of people. Keep doing what you're doing and don't allow negativity to stop you!
One other thing. And I've posted it before but it's just funny to tell. I work for a large company and was on my break watching a Sandi video. Sheep were baaaa baaaing very loudly. My top bossperson came up to me and asked wth was I watching? It was amusing to see his reaction when I said "it's a sheep farmer " he saw a different side of what makes me, well, me. Now we trade stories of the dreams we had and have and our mutual respect for what others do with their lives. Love you Sandi❤ don't change for anybody. You are sheepishly perfectly Sandi❤
I’m sorry someone tried to rob you. Do not let them steal your Peace! Don’t let hateful people try and rob you of joy either. I love your content and I think you are beautiful as you are!!! The truth is you are beautiful and joyful and haters don’t have joy. Choose peace and joy. It’s obvious that they do not.
Sandi you bring a lot of joy with your videos. Don’t let the people’s comments bring you down. A small percentage of the population isn’t nice. Have a great 2025!
Thank you Sandi for sharing your lives again in 2024. It has been a joy to share the highs ( and lows) with you. Thank you for my new clothes! And for being so real. All the best for 2025 ❤
Sandi, just want to say how much I appreciate your effort for not swearing on camera, because my kids do love to watch “sheep lady.” And as a mom, I have to say I feel your pain holding it in all the time! ❤
Sandi, please block those people who continue to put you down. You are allowed to block them. Those who follow you and are true followers don't care about what you look like or how you dress or what you wear. We will love you for you and what you do! ❤❤ I hate to see you hurt because of those who want to be mean.
Repressed swearing, I love it, now to me you are perfect! My sheep think it’s just normal language. Now after so much welcome rain in Canterbury, New Zealand, my sheep are getting shorn today on a fine day. 13 ewes and 13 lambs. So they are all standing in the yards hungry from over night penning, but they will be far more comfortable being sheared with an empty tummy. So as soon as your vlog finishes, I must get up. KEEP BEING YOU SANDI. I fester like you, I think it’s because I am more emotional, so I need longer to digest unfairness, evil and rubbish. I will keep being me too. So glad that was your happiest memory. You so deserved that holiday and who better to spend some of it with. Yes the engagement was sensational. Trust Cammie. Happy New Year Sweats and to all your beloved family, including Carissa. 🧡 🇳🇿
Business aside, as stewards of the animals we bring into this world it is our responsibility to make sure they don’t suffer and to make the hard decisions when needed. I commend you and what you do❤
I cannot believe those comments, they are absolutely disgusting especially those aimed at your family and their health. To ask if you’re acting when you are upset is also crazy, if they watch you often enough it’s obvious that you are genuine. You are such a wonderful person and farmer and RUclipsr and mum and wife etc etc it’s so easy for us to say but try to focus on the positive that far outweigh the negative. Block anybody that makes you feel bad, there’s a difference between constructive criticism and pure nastiness.
For me the shining thing is that your crops and sheep farming is a family enterprise and the care and respect for all aspects and people is so heartwarming. Also, the flooring is gorgeous. Happy 2025🎉
Don't listen to the haters and disrespectful people that criticize you and your family they have to try and make themselves feel better by bringing someone else down. Your true viewers love watching you channel and content.
Each time you upload a video I feel joy. Watching your videos are always bright spots in my day. You, your family and your sheep add joy. As a business woman, you're educational and inspiring.
Holy hell! 😨 I’ve heard Creators talk about negative comments but I have never seen anything like those Jess comments 🤯 Why spend the little time you have in this world trying to hurt people? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Like I’m so sorry if you’re hurting or stressed but it’s no excuse to say sh*t like that to anyone. 11:09 I think you’re making the right call on Spider lamb. Speaking as someone who lives with intense pain every single day, I wish there was someone to save me from it right when it got bad. It never stops being bad & I wouldn’t wish this experience on my worst enemy, let alone an innocent little lamb
Sandi, I know you probably won’t see this but as an avid watcher of your channel from Australia for the past few years I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel and you. I love watching every single one of your videos and I have rewatched all of them repeatedly multiple times. I don’t understand the people that can make such disgusting comments to such a kind and beautiful hearted person. And for those people to mask their disgusting comments with “I love you” and “I love your channel, but…” is ridiculous. I hope you and your beautiful family had a wonderful Christmas and have a great 2025!
Yes indeed! It’s lovely rows of crops growing, silly dogs bouncing around and licking sheep faces and ears, bedding clumps landing on sheep, lambs and ewes talking, but best of all, lambnadoes!
Sandi, I don't understand why people can send such negative comments. I hope you know that most of us think you are an AMAZING person with an amazing family. Blessings for the new year.
Block those posting negative comments! They have not walked in your shoes. I am a fifteen year cance4 survivor and know that every journey is unique. Who cares if a farmer brushes / colors their hair! I have learned so much from your channel. Also, you are raising sheep for food, production and commodities. You always try to use the entire animal, and do it very humanly. Even returning the animal to the earth if it passes. Keep up the great work!
We all see that you are a wonderful farmer. You love your sheep, and do sometimes have favorites. That being said, as a pet owner, if you have a pet that isn't having a thriving life or will end up passing away, we need to see that and recognize the fact that we are not meant to be super heroes and save every animal. Sometimes it's a much better pet parent to have them euthanized than keep them alive for selfish reasons. Keep your chin up, Sandi! You're terrific!
This is one of the reasons I dislike social media. People hide behind their cruel words, because there are no repercussions. They know they can say almost anything and get away with it. I see it as a form of bullying, which is unacceptable. I also believe what goes around comes around and they’ll get theirs eventually. Know we love and enjoy watching you and your family, lamb family too.
Actually, the ability to hide is fading fast - Foxes Afloat (gay couple on narrow boat in the UK) were able to get a troll leaving horrific homophobic comments prosecuted ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m glad you remove the negative comments. I’ve never seen any on your feed, but I always down vote them when I see them on others. Don’t like a channel, just move along. It’s not for you. Don’t spoil my fun! Love all you do 🥰
We lost our Mum on the 28th and i've gotta say your channel has been a God send for escape, thank you for everything you do, your so wholesome and so relatable i for one am truly great full xXx
Condolences to you and your family. I have a dear friend, who has only me as 'another' in this world, who is on Palliative care for 1 1/2 weeks. It's very hard, so I understand.
I am so sorry that you have to put up with these idiots that feel it’s ok to leave negative comments. You are such an intelligent hardworking woman that has a talent to teach us sheep farming. I thank you for your blood, sweat and tears producing this vlog.
People who are making negative comments about you, has not watched you with your sheep. People who comment on your appearance are vain and/or controlling. You are fantastic.
It’s amazing as mothers we hang onto our stress levels when our family needs us , then after the crisis we hit a wall with our own health. I know I’ve looked after hubby who still has cancer - stage 4 melanoma. But he’s doing well , my body just caved after that crisis - it takes knowing our capabilities and trying not to catastrophise - life can be fucked up enough without our adding to it. You do very well with your stress and I’ve learned a lot from how you handle these trials. Thanks for that Sandi. May we both have an easier New Year. 🎉
I run 'hot' too. I can't believe the sheer stupidity & outright rudeness of the comments you receive. Thank goodness the vast majority of the Brock Flock appreciate your goodness & respond with kindness & gratitude & recognition that you are a rare & wonderful human being. Thank you for shining your bright light in a world that often seems dark. HNY!!💕💕
I'm one of your followers who don't comment much. But it hurts me for you when folks are critical of you personally. Maybe it's because I am familiar with farming & how the day to day runs into the next day relentlessly. I love how you & Mark make personal time for each other & prioritize family time with your adult children❣️ However yours & Marks decisions are actually not my business. I'm content & grateful that you share so much with us❣️Screw the nosey snivelers.
Thank you, Sandi, for allowing us into your life!!! The good, the bad, and the ugly! Happy New Year to the most wonderful family I know on RUclips!!! Stay blessed Sandi, Mark, Jack, and Jess!!! I'm looking forward to 2025!!! I love you guys so very, very much!!! 🥰💖🤗❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You bless me every time you come on. My husband, at first , thought I was crazy watching you but then he listens to you baaahing at me. Now for the critics , She is a real person not an actress. She doesn’t have a makeup person running in before the camera starts. Sandy is a working woman doing hard labor. Climbing up places you wouldn’t go and putting her hand where you wouldn’t put yours. Sandy, I love you. I wish I could meet you sometime but that isn’t possible. So just stay true to yourself. Don’t let the turkeys get you down because they’re others who love you just the way you are. That’s why you are so popular. Forget the PETA people. You do what feels good and let them do their thing. We aren’t all the same and think the same. Thank God. a
I think my favorite chore would be taking care of the bottle babys. I grew up on a farm and I still remember bottle feeding lambs. We didn't have a nanny, so we had to feed them twice a day until we could wean them. That was in the '50s, so farming has changed tremendously since then. I'm really impressed with the attention to detail both you and Mark pay as you go thru your daily routines. I would like to see Mark do more in depth explanations about improving the soil, crop rotation, etc. Thanks for sharing.
Progress, progress, progress!! I have said this before but your work ethic, drive and determination must be commended. You are always evolving and learning...and brave enough to share it all with the world, warts and all. Thanks! ❤
Ms. Sandi. Lady, I can understand the running hot on folks lame coments / criticisms. Just something sheared with me, outsiders only see a small frame of your farm life they don't see all of the things that surround your decision and how hard it is to make that tuff choice. We that have lived it in your life we understand. Ms.Sandi we love you just as you are Ms. Sandi. Please take care of yourself we love you. 🙏🤗😊💕👍
Thanks for editing out the cursing! Although it’s not high on my taboo list, I still appreciate that edit them out because you care about the kids that watch your channel. 🥰
I've had two cars stolen. My 70 Volkswagen was attempted. Whatever they were using broke off in the ignition too. Feeling violated is exactly what I felt.
So sorry for the Brocks and for you and for everyone who has been 'violated' in any way, including the evil negative comments. I hate when people intentionally make others feel bad!
Put the negative comments and put them in the composter. You are a Mom, wife,farmer, RUclipsr,retailer, friend. Of course you are a Workaholic. , show me a successful farmer that isn’t a workaholic, and I’ll show you someone who is a fake! It’s not that it is “work” like a 9-5 job. It’s a way of life and it isn’t for the weak!You stay strong and farm on!! We love what you do
Your daughter looks so much like you, and has so many of same mannerisms, even her voice inflections are the same…I’m glad to see she’s doing so well!❤
Happy New Year, Sandi, Mark, Jack, Jess, and Carissa!!🎉 I think changing to only 3 lambings a year is one of your best ideas. 2023 was a dumpster fire, and you and your family needed this break, and it shows! Love to you all!❤❤❤❤❤
Happy New Year Sandi, Mark, Jack, Jess, Carissa and everyone who watches. Wishing all a lovely year full of peace love and prosperity. BTW i appreciate the compassion you show to every living things I've seen you interact with. Human and animal alike. Thank you for all you do, Sandi.
Hi Sandi ❤️ 2024 was a successful year for your businesses. Congratulations dear lady!! 🎊 🎉 🎊 🎉 Wishing you nothing but the ultimate best for 2025!!! I am so grateful for you and your YT channel. My past years have been better because you have shared your sweet self with us. You bring sunshine to my life - thank you Sandi. God's blessings always ~ Jo ❤️
Oh my gosh Sandi … listening to you talk about how the negative comments hurt, really hits me, as I am much like you. I would 💯% react the same way. But please don’t take them to heart (I know - easily said than done) because you are the strongest, most hard working and beautiful sheep farmer and woman out there and putting yourself in front of a camera daily is not easy. For people to sit back and complain about trivial matters (hair, chapped lips, etc) is utterly missing the point. Your videos truly inspire and show how farming, in particular, sheep farming really is, and that is the point…not anything else. So, never mind the ‘naysayers’ … you are extraordinarily beautiful and have an amazing spirit of generosity and I myself look forward to your videos (especially the lambing ones). Keep at it Sandi … you are doing phenomenal!!!!! ❤
Sandi, I have never commented, but I feel compelled to do so because I like to give balance to the rudeness of those who point out whether you drink water, moisten your lips or color your hair. This is not a beauty or a health/fitness channel. I watch because you are genuine, hard working, and you do it all with a heart of gold. I won't tell you to ignore the rudeness. That's impossible. Just know that what matters most about you and what you share with us is seen and appreciated by those who value a hard-working family who loves what they do. All of you are inspiring! Thank you!
I agree with You completely. I find the honesty, hard work, and respect that Sandi has for the animals under her care to be absolutely refreshing!!
I understand how difficult it is to be so authentic and honest about life.
I truly wish the negative nellies would go away, but I also acknowledge that they won't. I agree that jealousy is probably the driver.
Ditto. I feel the same. Your awesome!
Beautifully said.
You just spoke what most of us feel ❤
Happy New Year!!1
My mother always said that those who are critical of others are actually trying to make themselves feel better. The critics are people who don't know you but probably feel jealous of your success, the number of followers you have and the closeness you have with your family. The comments are meant to hurt so they can feel that moment of superiority. Pity them, and remember the number of people who love this channel out number those that think they have a right to criticize you.
💯❤️
Well said, thank you. I feel the exact same way but couldn't quite express it without getting upset at how they made Sandi feel. ❤
Your mother is absolutely correct. Sad lives some live.
@@andreageorge7280 wish they would just go away...pick on another Karen...
Sheep shorts is stealing her content again
The little sheep, with the not good front legs, you have given her a good quality of life. And once the quality of life isn’t good anymore, sometimes you have to make the hard choices and you always do it very humanly and respectfully.
I agree 100%. She will continue to grow and add more and more stress to those legs. Soon, she will likely lose her mobility and be in pain and no quality of life. Sanctuaries are nice and I respect what they do, but they want the animals they take in to be able to live comfortably. It's inhumane to keep an animal alive and suffering when there's no chance of fixing the problem for them to eventually be comfortable. Although short, she has had a good life and I trust Sandi won't let her suffer.
💯
Absolutely 💯.
Absolutely. I’m a bioethicist, and one area I work in is animal ethics, including protocols for animal husbandry, experiments, etc. I would never condone allowing a lamb like Spider to live much longer - or even having gotten to this stage, to be honest. Without a vet assuring me, after numerous tests, that there was no harm to Spider - something I think anyone can see just watching her try to move - and no pain, I simply couldn’t say keeping the lamb alive and growing to full weight was a humane action. And that has nothing to do with Sandi being a sheep farmer first or whatever - I cannot see a positive quality of life for this sheep at a sanctuary, and would recommend the same thing to a sanctuary. Those joints are eventually going to roll, pull, and even possibly break under the weight of an adult ewe…
I would have said the Golden Girls would be good companions.... but there is a bully in that group.... so I agree with Sandi on this. Am sad there is no alternative.
I actually MUCH prefer this style of Q&A with Sandi answering questions as she's going about her day rather than a sit down style which would be a bit boring for my liking. This way we get to see the chores, animals, and family while we get the skinny. I REALLY love the more personal aspect she's introduced over the last few years. I already loved her channel but I LOVE the personal aspect even more!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️
I come from a working-class family. To the yahoos who come to a sheep farming channel expecting fashion and glamour, kindly move along. Your hard work and dedication to your craft are very evident and bring me and tons of others much joy. Happy New Year!
Thank you for loving the lamb enough to take away her pain and stop her life that would only get worse. You’re an angel.
❤ 🐑 ❤ 🐑 ❤
So well said.
To wish cancer on someone or call it karma is disgusting, especially as a survivor. It's worse then telling someone to go to he!l or to drop dead. In my eyes, it makes the person who said it worthless and I lose all respect for them. You look good girl. That commentor that commented on your appearance is shallow and no matter how much they gussy themselves up, will still be gross on the inside.
Happy New Year
They really need some help😮😮😢😢😢! I'm hoping that they will get some counseling.
Could not agree more! Karma will come back and bite him/her in the ass. Vicious comment to make.
I started yelling at the television when I read that HORRIBLE comment and my hubby asked me who was hurt. Grrrrrr
Yeah that cancer/karma comment was so incredibly disgusting! Those type of nasty ass vegans truly tick me off. For one, their superiority complex is absolutely through the roof. They TRULY believe that THEIR way is the ONLY way and anyone who doesn't fall in line is less than. 2nd, these types of vegans that say these nasty things about someone, calling them baby killers and such, are the BIGGEST hypocrites! Those fruits and vegetables they eat are often grown in monocultures that kill every single insect or ground animals that live in the soil or fly so these huge corporations can grow them. They kill more "animals" in a single season than Sandi does in 10 yrs. The dairy industry gets the worst of the hate, imo. It's the hypocrisy for me! Cuz while they're making the hateful comments they're doing it on a phone or walking in shoes that uses animal byproducts to make since every single part of the animals are used.
I read them and it made me physically sick to my stomach that someone would THINK something like that, let alone actually say it to someone.
Sandi, for 2025 I would love to see you trust yourself more, and recognize your strengths and successes. I am in awe of what you do and it hurts my heart when you speak negatively about yourself. You haven’t failed at the sheep for 10 years… you have learned lessons and made positive changes, overcome adversity and built an amazing brand.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!🎉
Well said!💗
Couldn’t agree more!!
Thank you Sandi, Mark, Jess, Jack and Clarissa!!! For bringing joy to all of us who watch your channel and love your family!
Omg my first name is Donna too and I swear I was gonna comment most of what u just said to Sandi! But instead I said how much I appreciate them! 😁
I'm not going to lie I live for Sandi's videos.
Leave Sandi alone,if you don't have anything good to say,don't say anything at all.Simply find something else to watch.Sandi your an awesome farmer.Wishing the very best in 2025!!!Lots prayers,and Love to you Sandi.❤
100%!!!
AMEN
I once told online about when my firstborn was diagnosed with a genetic illness, and the old man doctor told me to get sterilized so I didn’t have another one “like that”. I went on to have four more children who are all healthy. The “sick” one has also done well - grew up, did college, had a career, married, had two kids…and still doing well. However…the comments I received saying how I was reckless, selfish, etc. because I had more kids! It shocked me what nasty things people think they have the right to say to strangers on the internet. You were generous to share your experiences with Jess last year, and I really respect you for that. Have a blessed new year!
I'm so sorry the doctor said that. That stinks. Hopefully doctors today look at the Mom & Dad to what their wishes are with empathy. I'm thankful you didn't listen to that old school doctor!❤️
Oh my gosh … living well and your son living well is the best revenge against all those hateful comments !
You were selfish and reckless. You gambled with the health of your children because you just needed to breed. Lucky for them, they were not as unlucky as your first born. My family carries a serious genetic disease and non of us gambled after we found out.
Thank you for bringing 5 wonderful children into the world.
God will continue to bless you and yours! He loves His Creation! ❤️
The comment about Jess sent my blood pressure through the roof. I have a daughter who went through very similar circumstances and my mom’s heart wanted to hit out. However, like someone else said, some people just feel superior putting others down when in truth they are the ones with the true problem. ❤ I don’t do most social media but never miss your videos. They bring joy to my heart.
Me too! I have lost 8 family members to cancer and 3 others have survived it. It is a horrible disease.
That comment about Jess was totally uncalled for!! That person needs to reflect on what they said!! How could someone say such a thing!! I am appalled on Sandi's behalf!! Some folks need to shut up instead of saying vile stuff like that!!
Sandi, Happy New Year and I love your vlogs!! Please keep being yourself!! I thank God for Jess's great outcome!! May Almighty God continue to bless you, your family and your land and businesses!!
🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
I would not do a public video. I am to much like Tara in Australia. I would be telling them to all fuck off regularly
Why and how can anyone say anything about Jess and her illness? She's a fighter, a hero and amazing❣️ Sandi is a hard worker, she's very empathetic, loving farmer❤🐑
Me too!! My son went through brain cancer at 17 & what we went through together will always keep us close. If anyone said that about him I would be RIDING AT DAWN!!! Some people are heartless ghouls!!
Omg those mean comments are bad be enough, but then saying Jess's cancer was karma?! We ride at dawn. ❤️❤️
I will ride with you. That made me go into total war-mode. Such foul, nasty people. 🤬
Sandi, we have your back! ❤
Name the time and place. No place in this world for that
I'm with you! Sandi and family are so lovely. Perfectly imperfect. May those horribly hateful people have the year they deserve 🤬 wish they'd keep their hate to themselves.
Count me in!
I agree
Kinsey is a farm dog and knows her place and her job! She is a fantastic helper!
Sandi, just please know what a beautiful human being you are!!!! Believe all the comments from your loving fans. Nobody else matters.
DITTO!! We love you for who you are Sandi!!!
Your decision on spider lamb is the correct one. The deformity is such that it would really increasingly debilitate her and more weight would make it worse. Keeping an animal alive when it’s obvious that they are so extremely debilitated it’s more about the person who makes that decision than the needs of the animal. Don’t let the comments that come in to cry your decision make you feel bad. You’re doing the most loving kind thing you can for that poor little lamb.
The "shoulder mom" is proof that you made the right decision on the spider lamb.
Yep, Americans tend to believe that everything should go perfectly. In reality, all sorts of things happen that are subpar. Not everything ends well. No, Life isn't precious. It happens by accident. It's only precious when we make it so. Part of that is dispatching those who are suffering horribly. No, our habit of prolonging the suffering of those around us simply bc we don't want to lose them is selfish and evil and needs to stop. We need to deal in reality and the reality is sometimes the kindest thing to do is put a animal down. No, I told my partner long ago that if my pain got too bad I'm checking out. (I have systemic CRPS aka the worst form of the world's most painful condition) Luckily he totally gets it. No, humans should have the right to say no. I don't care what the gov says. It's not their business if I stick around or not. I refuse to suffer just so corporations can make more money.
Sandi, you ARE enough! You are simply amazing. Thank you for giving so much joy this year. Looking forward to you having a fantastic 2025 ❤️
Please stop telling yourself you "failed" in the first 10 years of lambing. Thank you for sharing your sheep, your farm and your family with us. Wishing you health, happiness and good health in 2025 and beyond.
Never apologize about how you do things. You are real and grounded. Too many people are disconnected from Mother Earth and the life cycle. Their judgment is based in ignorance. Kudos to you and your beautiful heart. ❤
Anger is a valid, healthy emotion. Getting mad is part of the process of dealing and healing. Good for you, Sandy! I really enjoy everything you post.
Happy New Year to the Brock family! 🎉🎊🥳
Sandi, I for one think your spontaneity in your videos is much more appealing than a scripted video. We’re here to see life on a farm, not a presentation!! I personally love the adorable chaos that happens on every Sheepishly me episode. I’ve been watching from the beginning and you’ve blossomed so incredibly into a channel that literally millions of people clamor to watch. We watch what we love so don’t think you need to completely revamp what was already working! We love you just the way you are!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the above is so true please let those nasty people go to H....I m in my 89 yrs. Retired cow calf operation so I know how hard it is to farm with animals.
Oh Sandi ignore the nasty people! You do a GREAT JOB! We LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL! 💕💕💕
Better yet, simply block them prior to reading past the first word that tells you this is going to be one of those comments!
A very happy new year to you Sandi and your family and Carissa too. You have come so far over the years and are so valued and appreciated for all you do. Thank you for feeding people. Thank you for inviting "the people" into your barn, home, life. You are such an inspiration for women all over. Keep on ignoring the haters and accept the gratitude and love from the majority. Thanks and praise, with love, from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️
Totally agree with what you said, when I saw the Peterborough I said hay neighbour lol but then I realised I am Peterborough, England UK but close enough for me😁
Sandi, i affectionately say to my other half, i am watching my Canadian sheep farmer. You are not mine, of you are one of the very few channels i religiously watch. i love everything about you and your lovely family. I have the biggest smile on my face when watching. You are a beautiful person with the biggest heart, keep being you ❤
I call her "Sandi, you-know-my sheep-lady" to my husband and a few friends who know I'm obsessed with SheepishlyMe. My husband now knows her as just "Sandi ", when I relate something here that reminds me of something she has said or done. It's like she is a close friend to me. She has really become part of my everyday life and I wouldn't have it any other way. ❤🎉
I CANNOT believe anyone would say CRAP like that!!! I LOVE you Sandi! I'm proud of you & so GRATEFUL you share your life with us. I've always dreamed of having a husband farmer/rancher, growing my own food, having all the animals and it never happened. I'm 50 this year and have been single my whole life, so having you let's me get to experience how some of my dream might have been. THANK YOU!!
Sandi and family, y’all are awesome. Ignore or forget the negative comments.
Totally agree ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how natural you are.
Totally agree
The floor turned out BEAUTIFUL, Mark!!! Sandi, Mark, Jess, Jack, and Carissa too - you all have my prayers that this coming year will overflow with Health, Joy, and the Wonderful Blessings of Christ! Stay safe and know that you are all loved!
I can’t remember how I found your channel but I do remember with Covid and working as an ED nurse, I needed to get away from Covid and began watching your channel in 2020. I saw one video from 2020 and immediately went and started at the beginning. As a city girl from Alberta who only knew about cows and chickens from years back on my grandparents farm, watching your sheep was a learning experience and still is. As I close in on my retirement, I look forward to having your channel to follow. To those so worried about your hair, maybe they should follow real estate agents, to see the impeccably dressed , perfect make up and hair , lol. I have given up on my short hair looking good just wearing toques in the winter walking the dogs. During Covid, my hair was a disaster wearing scrub caps constantly. If those complaining people watched your full videos, they would see that when you need to get all spiffy, you look fabulous. I would like to see those people at 0430 getting up to go work in a barn, lol. You go girl, you are real.
As I close in on 70, I realized that I needed a wig. I have found one that I love and nobody knows that it's a wig and I look great all the time. It was $18.00 on Amazon and now I've got two more identical wigs. I just use bobbyy pins to secure it. I heartily recommend getting one. I feel pretty every time I go out.
I can’t believe people can say such vile words! You have a good swear at them Sandi and then delete and block them. You’ve had a tough time and you and your children are a credit to being real. Stay positive sweetheart and keep being you ❤❤❤
Happy New Year to you all 🎉
After hearing those comments I'd let go with a good f word myself. I've wondered why you DONT swear!😂
Sandi, I watch every single blog BECAUSE you are GENUINE! If you had perfect hair (which no one has unless the stare in the mirror & fix it every 2 seconds), wore make up & lipstick (you kidding me? I'm lucky to get that on running out the door to an event) or those fake 2 inch long eyelashes (Bleck!🤢), I would feel you were a fake farmer! Never forget, YOU ARE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT just the way we were intended to be. As much as we tell you to ignore the meanies, I never realized just how crude some people could be until I saw those messages. They are the pathetic ones trying to hide arsenic under icing. You have undertook what most of us would have never even tackled. And YOU DID IT!👍🏻💪🏻 So try to take a breath & sing 🎵"I did it MY WAY"🎶
So proud of you!!!
I'm in agreement with you about Spider. Sure we will shed a tear but like always, you keep the best interest of your sheep in mind. That's what makes you YOU with a great flock!!💞
Floor looks AMAZING!! Great Job!
Love Jesses curls!!
2025 is going to be a fantastic year!!!🤗
Farmers' mental health is being attacked. It's more & more a lonely business because of all the 'labour-saving' huge machines. Old farmers still congregate at the few coffee shops in small towns that haven't been closed down. I'm happy & proud that we in the Brock Flock have 2-way communication & support for Sandi & her family 💕💕
I live in a small town and yes the old boys get together for coffee every morning about 9:30. And don't get them started on the weather! They are a hardy bunch.
At the diner I work at, we open at 6am, and the farmers are waiting in line for us to open. They all sit together at 1 table, which is lovingly called the bs table, lol. They stay until about 7, 730 then head off to their daily jobs.
Sandi......ignore, ignore, ignore. There is one born every minute, Being "holier than thou" bring some people great pleasure. My children ( now adult) tell me I swear as if I was raised on a building site.....tough!!!!!
Your comment reminded me of being a nurse on a open heart step down unit, I had a PT. that was a truck driver tell us His truck driver pals had nothing on us. LOL. ( It was a bad night, shift starts at 11PM, if things are nuts before midnight, F bombs are flying.)
I don't smoke or drink or date married men but oh my, i do swear. Fortunately my children decided early on that having a potty mouth wasn't for them. A neighbour said it wasn't until the third "god i hate being a woman followed by a string of swears" that he realized i was not able to get the manual pull cord on the lawnmower to go. I now do electric starts on everthing! Less swearing involved.
Don’t feel bad.( it’s ok I know you don’t 😂😂) I told I swear like a sailor! Or sometime my mouth could fertilize a whole field.😊😂😂 I almost never swear at people or animals.
@@barbiebabe4495Love the comment 'your mouth could fertilize a whole field'.❤❤😊
I'm a swear bear IRL 🐻 but I'm a bit like Sandi, and stuff gets in ...I got here via @TaraFarms, and I love how Tara cusses out the horrible people 😂 I live vicariously watching Tara take them down.
I don't understand why people have to be mean or put their two cents in, when people create RUclips stuff ... don't like it, don't watch! Not everything is for you. I was born in the city and love farming, and I can share in it because wonderful people let me watch them farm. Thanks for doing what you do, Sandi 💕
Sandi, I want to tell you something...you are really a life saver to me. For 3 years I have watched your U tube videos. When life happens, and I am sad, I watch "the lambs!". Lost my husband in 2023, your wonderful attitudes and those precious lambs lifted my spirits many, many times. Dont change anything! Love you and your family!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I agree that I find the "Sheepishly Me" videos so uplifting. Even those that deal with difficult subjects like when to humanely end a life that no longer has a good quality of life. That is just part of the choices you have to make when you allow animals to be such a wonderful part of your life. GOD gave us dominion over these animals and I have always been amazed at the cruel, heartless and stupid remarks that people make.
I watch Sandi's you tube videos as soon as I get the notification that they are available.
I'm so sorry your husband isn't with us right now. 🫂
Same here re spirits. Over the last few years, I haven't been able to smile a lot. But the lambs lift my heart and the little jumps etc. Sandi helps so many people and she doesn't even know it.
I lost my husband in2021. That is when I really began to watch you tube. Sandi Brock was one of the first channels that I subscribed to. I grew up in the country with farmers all around. Sandi's channel is a great look at farming from the inside, the choices that need to be made and the heart ache of doing so. I have never seen a beauty show inside a tractor or a barn. Hard work doesn't always show us at our best. Sandi Brock you are enough. Keep up the great work and just be you.
Awww Patricia, I’m so sorry for your loss, there is something very consoling about cute little lambs bobbing about when you’re at a low ebb, you keep watching Sandi, she’s good for the soul. It’s possibly not the right time just now to wish you a ‘Happy’ New Year but it is a New Year for you to find your coping strategies and I truly wish you a better year, please accept a virtual huggle 🤗
I TOO LOST MY HUSBAND IN 2020 SANDI HAS MADE MY LIFE EASIER WATCHING LAMBS PLAYING MARGARET LYNCH SOUTHERN IRELAND
My father told me and my siblings, "It doesn't matter what you take upon yourself." I told my son the same thing. I think it's important to remember that it's not about what you do, but how you do it. If you are going to be a Doctor, a priest, a waiter, or even a ditch digger give it the best of yourself. At the end of the day you will know you did your very best. Sandy, it shows that you give every part of youself to your husband, children, your flock and your new online business. Leave all the nasty comments behind. Just ask yourself if they could do any better, probally not. You are an inspiration to many. You go Girl.
Sandi , a fav quote of mine " Effort is Effort ..IF you made an effort , you already WON, IF you don't , you already have failed" ...LOOK AT YOU WIN !!! no matter how big , small , different YOU HAVE WON! and just watching you win has been such a joy to watch and that includes everything ..and as far as you " plan ing " a video , pfft naw you are good , because you sometimes just can't plan life and that is what makes your channel authentic , so keep winning and let those losers rot in their morbid little corner
It hurts my heart to read the cruel comments people make. Just know we love you and your family and I'm grateful for all you share with us. Happy and prosperous new year for you and your loved ones.
Sheep shorts on Facebook is stealing your content again
Sandi thankyou for sharing your life with all of us🥰🥰
I'm delighted that RUclips subscribers & merch customers add monetarily to Sandi's operation. But I'm even more stoked that Sandi, who she is & what she does is so therapeutic for so many of us. And I'm glad that we give her some love & affirmation. Sandi & the Brock Flock help shore up my faith that maybe the world can be a good place. Thank you! all of you!💕💕
Yes!! We're the Brock Flock!!!
You are enough Sandi, hard working and a genius teaching us. I said this before but I feel your channel should be mandatory in schools.
You bring me joy.
Love you letting us have a look at the real life of your farm. As for Spidey, I am a firm believer in quality vs quantity in life of our animals. Thank you for making the best choice you could for her.
I am in awe of the cruelty some of those commenters displayed. In what world is it okay to say things like that to another person? You have mentioned ‘mean’ comments before but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine them to be so awful. You are a stronger person than me! I would be in the fetal position crying. Farming is not easy. And anyone watching your channel just for the cuteness of lambs needs to educate themselves on the food chain and where our food comes from. I have never had lamb, but would definitely want it to come from a farm like yours where the animals are well cared for and loved. We have 10 sheep (pets and lawn mowers). We lost a lamb just the other day unexpectedly. Never easy. Happy New Year to you and your family.
You are ALWAYS enough!!!!! Happy New Year to the Brock family! May 2025 be filled with new memories!
Saddens me that people make unkind comments....because you are such a kind and caring person! I LOVE your YT channel and your family! Keep up the great work and the wonderful way you keep us informed. You're doing a great job to be able to make me (and I'm sure many others) that we are part of the farm and family. It really says something that even through the internet, I consider you a dear friend. :)
You know what my mom would say, if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. I loved your video today and your answering the questions. Have a wonderful new year!
Sandi bringing Courtney on will continue be a source of peace for you - and you have a community of virtual friends that think you and your family are beautiful
Sandi, one thing I've learned in life, is you do what you have to do. You're doing it humanely and with the health and safety of your flock in mind. You're loved and I think the world of you
Thank you Sandi. Thank you for putting yourself out there for everyone to see. I’m sorry that some people feel the need to be hurtful but just know that you are loved by a great number of us. I can’t wait to see you next time ! ❄️⛄️🌲💚🙃
Sandi, block the nasty people! You don't deserve to be abused, and we won't stand for you to be abused!
Love you and your family, and dogs, sheep, barns.... all the Brock things! Thank each of you for all you do intentionally, and unintentionally for your channel! You have so many jobs, most of us could only hope to keep up, not to mention actually making it happen. Hugs, love and best wishes for this New Year to all of you! ♥♥♥
The spider lamb and the ewe with the bad shoulder have been given time by you to enjoy life for a while longer in a safe, loving environment under your expert care. The effort you put into your flock speaks of your big heart.❤
Sandi SO GOOD to watch your end of year blog. Dear Mark works SO HARD - he is very much the multi-tasker 🎉❤. I LOVE watching you both work together too, you often just slip into helping mode which is great. I'd like to say that people who say horrible things that they are the ones with the problem. Something eating away at them on the inside that they can't cope with anyone being nice or doing well. I would pray that God will change their attitude or just let their comments go in ine ear and out the other, and continue being who you are and doing what you do. A very happy new year to you all. God bless yous. Jan 💕💕💕💕
Some people are cruel, say cruel things,do cruel things. You are enough. You are so kind to allow us into your life. I prayed for Jess to be cancer free, prayed for you and your family during hard times, there are many viewers who love you, delete, delete, delete. Can’t wait for your next video!
Sandi, We love you as you are. Pure, simply you.❤❤❤ Just let the rest go. Don't give those few your breathe.❤❤❤❤❤
I really like the idea that everything is reused somewhere on the farm. It is the "circle of life" Thanks for sharing your farming life! I'm or was a city kid, I'm an old lady now, but learning how things work is interesting to me.
Thank you Sandi for all you do and share with the world. You are more than enough !!!! If someone criticizes you about your appearance or that your sheep may or may not end up being food, they need to find another channel. This is not for them.
You, Mark, Jack, and Jess are some of the hardest working, most loving humans on the planet. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge with the world. I hope all of you have an amazing 2025. See you in the next one.
I'm not a farmer but I love watching you because you're genuinely sweet and bring joy to a lot of people. Keep doing what you're doing and don't allow negativity to stop you!
One other thing. And I've posted it before but it's just funny to tell. I work for a large company and was on my break watching a Sandi video. Sheep were baaaa baaaing very loudly. My top bossperson came up to me and asked wth was I watching? It was amusing to see his reaction when I said "it's a sheep farmer " he saw a different side of what makes me, well, me. Now we trade stories of the dreams we had and have and our mutual respect for what others do with their lives. Love you Sandi❤ don't change for anybody. You are sheepishly perfectly Sandi❤
I’m sorry someone tried to rob you. Do not let them steal your Peace! Don’t let hateful people try and rob you of joy either. I love your content and I think you are beautiful as you are!!! The truth is you are beautiful and joyful and haters don’t have joy. Choose peace and joy. It’s obvious that they do not.
Sandi you bring a lot of joy with your videos. Don’t let the people’s comments bring you down. A small percentage of the population isn’t nice. Have a great 2025!
Thank you Sandi for sharing your lives again in 2024. It has been a joy to share the highs ( and lows) with you. Thank you for my new clothes! And for being so real. All the best for 2025 ❤
Sandi, just want to say how much I appreciate your effort for not swearing on camera, because my kids do love to watch “sheep lady.” And as a mom, I have to say I feel your pain holding it in all the time! ❤
Sandi, please block those people who continue to put you down. You are allowed to block them. Those who follow you and are true followers don't care about what you look like or how you dress or what you wear. We will love you for you and what you do! ❤❤ I hate to see you hurt because of those who want to be mean.
Repressed swearing, I love it, now to me you are perfect! My sheep think it’s just normal language. Now after so much welcome rain in Canterbury, New Zealand, my sheep are getting shorn today on a fine day. 13 ewes and 13 lambs. So they are all standing in the yards hungry from over night penning, but they will be far more comfortable being sheared with an empty tummy. So as soon as your vlog finishes, I must get up. KEEP BEING YOU SANDI. I fester like you, I think it’s because I am more emotional, so I need longer to digest unfairness, evil and rubbish. I will keep being me too. So glad that was your happiest memory. You so deserved that holiday and who better to spend some of it with. Yes the engagement was sensational. Trust Cammie. Happy New Year Sweats and to all your beloved family, including Carissa. 🧡 🇳🇿
Happy for you & your sheep that their wool finally dried enough to be shorn! 💕💕
I agree...so thankful to learn Sandi swears!!!!!! LOL
@@elainerempel1613 22.0 C today and all 26 shorn.. So relieved. Rain big time tomorrow again. 🧡
Business aside, as stewards of the animals we bring into this world it is our responsibility to make sure they don’t suffer and to make the hard decisions when needed. I commend you and what you do❤
I cannot believe those comments, they are absolutely disgusting especially those aimed at your family and their health. To ask if you’re acting when you are upset is also crazy, if they watch you often enough it’s obvious that you are genuine.
You are such a wonderful person and farmer and RUclipsr and mum and wife etc etc it’s so easy for us to say but try to focus on the positive that far outweigh the negative. Block anybody that makes you feel bad, there’s a difference between constructive criticism and pure nastiness.
For me the shining thing is that your crops and sheep farming is a family enterprise and the care and respect for all aspects and people is so heartwarming. Also, the flooring is gorgeous. Happy 2025🎉
Don't listen to the haters and disrespectful people that criticize you and your family they have to try and make themselves feel better by bringing someone else down. Your true viewers love watching you channel and content.
At least you have the moxy to put yourself out there.
WE LOVE YOU!!!
Yes, we truly do.
Each time you upload a video I feel joy. Watching your videos are always bright spots in my day.
You, your family and your sheep add joy. As a business woman, you're educational and inspiring.
Holy hell! 😨 I’ve heard Creators talk about negative comments but I have never seen anything like those Jess comments 🤯 Why spend the little time you have in this world trying to hurt people? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Like I’m so sorry if you’re hurting or stressed but it’s no excuse to say sh*t like that to anyone. 11:09 I think you’re making the right call on Spider lamb. Speaking as someone who lives with intense pain every single day, I wish there was someone to save me from it right when it got bad. It never stops being bad & I wouldn’t wish this experience on my worst enemy, let alone an innocent little lamb
Sandi, I know you probably won’t see this but as an avid watcher of your channel from Australia for the past few years I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel and you. I love watching every single one of your videos and I have rewatched all of them repeatedly multiple times.
I don’t understand the people that can make such disgusting comments to such a kind and beautiful hearted person. And for those people to mask their disgusting comments with “I love you” and “I love your channel, but…” is ridiculous.
I hope you and your beautiful family had a wonderful Christmas and have a great 2025!
I love your content. Thank you for being real, normal, and showing that life is not glitter eyeshadow and lip gloss.
Yes indeed! It’s lovely rows of crops growing, silly dogs bouncing around and licking sheep faces and ears, bedding clumps landing on sheep, lambs and ewes talking, but best of all, lambnadoes!
Sandi, I don't understand why people can send such negative comments. I hope you know that most of us think you are an AMAZING person with an amazing family. Blessings for the new year.
Happy New Year to the Brock Family and to all the people who watch it's going to be a great year 🎉
Block those posting negative comments! They have not walked in your shoes. I am a fifteen year cance4 survivor and know that every journey is unique. Who cares if a farmer brushes / colors their hair! I have learned so much from your channel. Also, you are raising sheep for food, production and commodities. You always try to use the entire animal, and do it very humanly. Even returning the animal to the earth if it passes. Keep up the great work!
We all see that you are a wonderful farmer. You love your sheep, and do sometimes have favorites. That being said, as a pet owner, if you have a pet that isn't having a thriving life or will end up passing away, we need to see that and recognize the fact that we are not meant to be super heroes and save every animal. Sometimes it's a much better pet parent to have them euthanized than keep them alive for selfish reasons. Keep your chin up, Sandi! You're terrific!
We’re blessed to have you in our lives. Many blessings to you and your family Sandi. See you in 2025.
This is one of the reasons I dislike social media. People hide behind their cruel words, because there are no repercussions. They know they can say almost anything and get away with it. I see it as a form of bullying, which is unacceptable. I also believe what goes around comes around and they’ll get theirs eventually. Know we love and enjoy watching you and your family, lamb family too.
Actually, the ability to hide is fading fast - Foxes Afloat (gay couple on narrow boat in the UK) were able to get a troll leaving horrific homophobic comments prosecuted ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I’m glad you remove the negative comments. I’ve never seen any on your feed, but I always down vote them when I see them on others. Don’t like a channel, just move along. It’s not for you. Don’t spoil my fun! Love all you do 🥰
We lost our Mum on the 28th and i've gotta say your channel has been a God send for escape, thank you for everything you do, your so wholesome and so relatable i for one am truly great full xXx
Condolences to you and your family. I have a dear friend, who has only me as 'another' in this world, who is on Palliative care for 1 1/2 weeks. It's very hard, so I understand.
I am so sorry that you have to put up with these idiots that feel it’s ok to leave negative comments. You are such an intelligent hardworking woman that has a talent to teach us sheep farming. I thank you for your blood, sweat and tears producing this vlog.
People who are making negative comments about you, has not watched you with your sheep. People who comment on your appearance are vain and/or controlling. You are fantastic.
It’s amazing as mothers we hang onto our stress levels when our family needs us , then after the crisis we hit a wall with our own health. I know I’ve looked after hubby who still has cancer - stage 4 melanoma. But he’s doing well , my body just caved after that crisis - it takes knowing our capabilities and trying not to catastrophise - life can be fucked up enough without our adding to it. You do very well with your stress and I’ve learned a lot from how you handle these trials. Thanks for that Sandi. May we both have an easier New Year. 🎉
I run 'hot' too. I can't believe the sheer stupidity & outright rudeness of the comments you receive. Thank goodness the vast majority of the Brock Flock appreciate your goodness & respond with kindness & gratitude & recognition that you are a rare & wonderful human being. Thank you for shining your bright light in a world that often seems dark. HNY!!💕💕
@elainerempel1613 Happy 2025 to you and yours. Thank you for answering all the questions you do. I appreciate it. ❤❤
I'm one of your followers who don't comment much. But it hurts me for you when folks are critical of you personally. Maybe it's because I am familiar with farming & how the day to day runs into the next day relentlessly.
I love how you & Mark make personal time for each other & prioritize family time with your adult children❣️ However yours & Marks decisions are actually not my business. I'm content & grateful that you share so much with us❣️Screw the nosey snivelers.
Thank you, Sandi, for allowing us into your life!!! The good, the bad, and the ugly! Happy New Year to the most wonderful family I know on RUclips!!! Stay blessed Sandi, Mark, Jack, and Jess!!! I'm looking forward to 2025!!! I love you guys so very, very much!!! 🥰💖🤗❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You bless me every time you come on. My husband, at first , thought I was crazy watching you but then he listens to you baaahing at me. Now for the critics , She is a real person not an actress. She doesn’t have a makeup person running in before the camera starts. Sandy is a working woman doing hard labor. Climbing up places you wouldn’t go and putting her hand where you wouldn’t put yours. Sandy, I love you. I wish I could meet you sometime but that isn’t possible. So just stay true to yourself. Don’t let the turkeys get you down because they’re others who love you just the way you are. That’s why you are so popular. Forget the PETA people. You do what feels good and let them do their thing. We aren’t all the same and think the same. Thank God.

I think my favorite chore would be taking care of the bottle babys. I grew up on a farm and I still remember bottle feeding lambs. We didn't have a nanny, so we had to feed them twice a day until we could wean them. That was in the '50s, so farming has changed tremendously since then. I'm really impressed with the attention to detail both you and Mark pay as you go thru your daily routines. I would like to see Mark do more in depth explanations about improving the soil, crop rotation, etc. Thanks for sharing.
Progress, progress, progress!! I have said this before but your work ethic, drive and determination must be commended. You are always evolving and learning...and brave enough to share it all with the world, warts and all. Thanks! ❤
Ms. Sandi.
Lady, I can understand the running hot on folks lame coments / criticisms. Just something sheared with me, outsiders only see a small frame of your farm life they don't see all of the things that surround your decision and how hard it is to make that tuff choice. We that have lived it in your life we understand.
Ms.Sandi we love you just as you are Ms. Sandi.
Please take care of yourself we love you. 🙏🤗😊💕👍
Thanks for editing out the cursing! Although it’s not high on my taboo list, I still appreciate that edit them out because you care about the kids that watch your channel. 🥰
You are beautiful, always beautiful inside and out. Don’t let them rent space in your brain. Stay positive.
I've had two cars stolen. My 70 Volkswagen was attempted. Whatever they were using broke off in the ignition too. Feeling violated is exactly what I felt.
So sorry for the Brocks and for you and for everyone who has been 'violated' in any way, including the evil negative comments. I hate when people intentionally make others feel bad!
Put the negative comments and put them in the composter. You are a Mom, wife,farmer, RUclipsr,retailer, friend. Of course you are a Workaholic. , show me a successful farmer that isn’t a workaholic, and I’ll show you someone who is a fake! It’s not that it is “work” like a 9-5 job. It’s a way of life and it isn’t for the weak!You stay strong and farm on!! We love what you do
Simply put Sandi … you are amazing 😊 and despite the fact I am 61 years old … when I grow up I want to be just like you 😊
Your daughter looks so much like you, and has so many of same mannerisms, even her voice inflections are the same…I’m glad to see she’s doing so well!❤
Happy New Year, Sandi, Mark, Jack, Jess, and Carissa!!🎉
I think changing to only 3 lambings a year is one of your best ideas.
2023 was a dumpster fire, and you and your family needed this break, and it shows!
Love to you all!❤❤❤❤❤
Happy New Year Sandi, Mark, Jack, Jess, Carissa and everyone who watches. Wishing all a lovely year full of peace love and prosperity. BTW i appreciate the compassion you show to every living things I've seen you interact with. Human and animal alike. Thank you for all you do, Sandi.
Happy new year everyone 🎉
Hi Sandi ❤️
2024 was a successful year for your businesses. Congratulations dear lady!!
🎊 🎉 🎊 🎉 Wishing you nothing but the ultimate best for 2025!!! I am so grateful for you and your YT channel. My past years have been better because you have shared your sweet self with us. You bring sunshine to my life - thank you Sandi.
God's blessings always ~
Jo ❤️
Oh my gosh Sandi … listening to you talk about how the negative comments hurt, really hits me, as I am much like you. I would 💯% react the same way. But please don’t take them to heart (I know - easily said than done) because you are the strongest, most hard working and beautiful sheep farmer and woman out there and putting yourself in front of a camera daily is not easy. For people to sit back and complain about trivial matters (hair, chapped lips, etc) is utterly missing the point. Your videos truly inspire and show how farming, in particular, sheep farming really is, and that is the point…not anything else. So, never mind the ‘naysayers’ … you are extraordinarily beautiful and have an amazing spirit of generosity and I myself look forward to your videos (especially the lambing ones). Keep at it Sandi … you are doing phenomenal!!!!! ❤
