- It's that time of year again!
As we prepare for yet another group of lambs (expected in June), Carissa and I are using CIDRs and PMSG to help schedule a tighter lambing period.
We sorted the rams based on breed and recorded everything to ensure each ewe would be grouped with a completely different breed of sire.
Also had to vaccinate my bottle lambs for Clostridial, and clean out their very moist pen.

Sandi.... you bring joy to me every time I see you and your fleece family! You are an amazing human! P.S. ..... has anyone else noticed her channel growing exponentially?! Wasn't it just a few months ago she was getting close to 500k subscribers and now she is getting closer by the day to getting that golden play button! You deserve every bit of it Sandi! Thank you for all the time you spend recording and editing for us. All that time and hard work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!
Qq
SANDI was the first subscription on RUclips and I am still loving her channel, andhavr withdrawals when I miss it. Thank you Dandi, and your brock flock
She's getting there!
@Jones Family - I was just thinking that too! I'm gonna start promoting the heck out of her on all my socials!!!
@@janhudson-SewKnotRight yes! We all know she is too humble to do it herself or even like the comment bc she wouldn't want the attention lol
I love Willow. I know she is old enough to breed but I started scream "No Willow Run your still to young to be a Mama." My 17 yr old busted up laughing and replied "Mom it's just a sheep." One day I pray she will understand. Lol Fingers crossed Miss Willow has beautiful mini Willows.
I know she's small, but can you image how adorable her babies will be
Me too. She’s still so little.
I had to laugh--the rams in one corner and the ewes in another sounds like a junior high dance! Your videos are always so entertaining.😆
It does, doesn't it? Lol
That little chocolate lamb is so stinking cute!!
I think Teddy's color is slowly fading. I wonder what her final color will be?
Cold hands means *WARM* *HEART* ❤ ...that's why she is always *smiling*
She does have that!!
My mom used to say that.
Exactly what my mom used to say..I always have warm hands though..but I am honestly a nice lady😃👐
When I was a kid, I had a sweat shirt that said cold nose warm heart.
@@dawnprice2453 aww that's much better..that definitely suits me better..🇬🇧👍
Every time I see Sandi moving all her sheep around makes me think she must be excellent at those sliding tile puzzles. LOL
Oh! I forgot about those sliding tile puzzles. I was thinking rubik's cube but the sliding tiles are a much better analogy.🙂
I’m so excited to enjoy another episode of Sandi and Willow ❤
I've been with you for years and i just want to thank you.
*drops everything for Sandi and her sheep* 🥰
*same!* 😂
i get so excited when i get a notification from sandi!
DITTO
Why don't you leave the breeding groups together year round. Are the same ewes put with the same boys every time.
Billy has gotten soooo big! And Willow looks so small since she’s been sheared. Can’t wait to see the babies 😻
Love how they saw you and ran because they knew they were in big trouble. 😂😂
When Kinsey was helping round up the last of the escapees, I could hear Cammy saying, "Lie dune." 😂
I was thinking the same thing! Omgosh I want to give Kinsey a great big hug 🤗 she doing a great job with not having any training. ❣❣
@@kathyreier9269 she really is. I love watching her with the sheep. She's allowed to clean their ears just not tell them where to go. 😂
This is sooo funny __ I was saying the same thing just under my breath, then telling my self, Wrong Show. Will be great when Cammy and Sandy meet!!
LOL
@@marjoriewilliams6446 it will also be nice to see Cammy and Charlie have a shear off.
Nugget is so cute standing there making doe eyes at Sandi while she talks. You can see she loves her. Willow is so small compared to her friends. I pray she has a safe pregnancy and delivery. She has a sweet personality I hope she passes on to her offspring.
I know, thought the ssme thing. I even wondered if Sandy ever had to do a Csection or would a vet trip would be needed.
I'm hoping Willow goes okay too. It's a little worrying she is so small. Well fed! Just petite.
@@teganwillow466, Tomatoes in the GG barn was much the same way. She was on the small side, but managed to have 1 lamb. Perhaps Willow will end up with the retirees.
Can you or do reuse the ciders?
@@debbiehayden1149 cedars are a one time use device. It is close to a human IUD.
I love willow so much and all the pretty Tunis's ewe's you have. I hope all goes well for you in this next breeding group. I love your channel so much I click on it soon as I see one that pops up. We don't see a lot of carissa, but I think she needs a big thank you from us for all the help she gives you. I'm not sure you could do it all by yourself and still have a you tube channel. THANK YOU, Carrissa, from me for all the help you give Sandi and all that you do.
Nothing better then watching the snow fall outside and watching Sandi and the 🐑
Same here. We got about 4 inches since 9pm last night.
Everything gets dropped when we see Sandi's next video is out. Thank you for sharing your life with us and not being afraid to share your daily struggles and your daily joys. We are all rooting for you Willow!
Sandi it makes me happy to watch how open, friendly and caring you are. I feel like I'm watching a friend, when life feels like it's falling in I watch those lambs and their antics and I feel better to go on with my day. We love you
I know it looks chaotic and probably feels like it a bit too, but I really love watching you move the sheep around and changing pens. I just think it’s so neat how your barn is set up to be able to do that, with the different openings and gates. My crazy organizing brain loves it for some reason. 😅
I am definitely obsessed with following you. I’m retired, 69 yo, and wish my nurse self could come during lambing season to help out ( at no fee of course). My 13 yo grandson just can’t understand why I’m obsessed. What an experience from my bucket list! Oh well, I’ll continue to watch for sure. I’m so glad I found you way back when. ❤️🐑❤🐑❤️🐑
I’m a 64yo retired labour and delivery nurse. Boy! Would l love to be there during lambing! Talk about living vicariously through others…LOL
I’m 70 years old, retired CT/Ultrasound technologist and 12 year old grandson doesn’t understand my love for this family either. I just smile and say: One of these days you’ll totally understand ❤
You all are a true inspiration!! Thank you! I smiled so much reading all the comments. As animals lovers we just can't help but LOVE THEM ❤️
Retired NICU nurse. Same. 😂
Lambs running outside the pen, cracked me up. Especially the little one laying down by the gate. "If I curl up tight you wouldn't see me." They always find that one weak spot and jet out of it. LITTLE STINKERS. Have great weekend Brock family.
Another reason I love you Sandi, you care about the enviroment your flock is living in. You and Carissa keep it clean. Thank you for taking the time to share.
My 2yo loves watching your videos before going to bed every night. He likes watching the sheep and the puppies running around, and loves calling out the colors he sees on the sheep 😊
Welcome to the weekend. Thank you for doing these videos Sandi, we all know how busy you are and to allow us to see what you do from day to day is such a joy, but a pain for you to edit and post. Willow looks so small up against those huge boys, hope nothing get broke. Lol
Sandi, I've been watching you for around 2 years. If I was younger I would try to do a sheep farm, but since I'm on the downward slope of life, that's not feasible. My best friend's dad was a sheep farmer 40-50 years ago. I enjoy watching you, you're heart warming and inspiring. Please tell Karissa that I'm so impressed with her as a human being as she has such dedication to you as her employer and also as a friend. I'm sure she has a heart of gold. Her family should be very proud of how that girl turned out.
I love these videos! The whole concept of keeping and husbanding sheep fascinates me. I was very surprised that the males didn't fight the whole time they were in with the ladies. I thought that they would. Sandi you are so good with your animals. You look after them so well, and Carissa along with you. It's impressive how you both keep it all running so smoothly. I admire you both immensely. God bless you both ladies and all those you love. Have a wonderful weekend!
I told someone that I watched Sheepishly Me vlogs on RUclips to relax. They said (using a decidedly snippy tone of voice) that they watch 60 Minutes.
Uuummmmmm, I did not say it but I did think: How can you relax while listening to stories of murder and crime!?!?
So I did suggest that they watch lambs leaping and listen to sheep telling their stories.
Sandi is soooooooo much better to listen to than someone who has to talk about the horrors of crime and scandal and murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sandi, you go girl! Please keep on keeping on! Your work is very hard, you spend so much time editing and filming your fluffy flock for us. We want you to know how much we all appreciate your efforts on our behalf!
When you were moving the creep feeder….I kept thinking, be careful of your back! And every time you step over the gates, I think….good thing you have long legs! 😂😂🐑🐑🐑❤️
Same! I couldn't work like these 2. My legs aren't that long!
I love little Pita. 😍
im so glad you kept willow, she is so sweet
It looks like Date Night has begun. I hope it goes well and all the ladies get sufficient attention!💞
It’s hilarious that Nugget is standing at the fence trying to get close to you while you are working in the other bottle babies pen. 😂😂😂
❤ I always wish your videos could go on and on ! I think the sound of the birds and the “ baaaa” of the sheep , ewe , lamb , is so comforting !
I just got soaked in a sudden rainstorm... But this has perked me right up . Thank you Sandi for all of the information and care you give love every video
I can’t wait to see Red and Willows babies!! This group is really really exciting, they all are, but this one is extra special
I absolutely love seeing Kinsey work so hard with the sheep, she's topnotch!
I was just going to say the same thing. A working dog that knows her job and does it well is a joy to see.
Oh I was so excited to see your video pop up today!! Thank you Sandi for sharing your life with us!❤❤
I love watching the management of your flock. It amazes me how you can keep everything straight. You are amazing. 😊
Oh my! I love the coffee colored lamb! Beautiful!❤️💯
I REALLY hope you keep Teddy around!! I can just imagine all the pretty red babies she could have!!
I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the deep litter method of keeping the barn warmer in the winter. It was very clear when you were cleaning the little bit today and all the heat that was coming from that pack. Kinsey just wants to work and she wants to please you so much
Hi Ruth how are you doing today
Another breeding, which will eventually lead to sleepless nights for Sandi! All part of the job!!!!
I'm so excited to see how Willow makes out as a Mom. And yes, she is so tiny compared to the other ewes. It's also neat watching the interactions (sans actual act of breeding) between the ewes and rams ... easy to tell 'em apart when the rams aren't sheared.
I always enjoy it when you clean out a len for some reason ... there's something cathartic about it I guess! 😁
So much to do in farming, whether it be a crop or livestock farming.
Thanks Sandi and I look forward to the next VLOG!
Why is it that after I watch these videos, I feel like I’ve spent the afternoon having coffee with a dear friend? 🐑
Oh, I just love Pita and The Bottle Babies!!!! (Could be the name of a rock group) 😁😁😁👏👏👏👏👏 I am so impressed with you, Sandy, you work SO hard, and the sheep are so lucky to be your sheep 😁🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Those cute little behinds running,hooves sliding around corners...omg I giggled like a crazy person! Then those "innocent" little faces checking Sandi to see how much trouble they were in! Naughty, but cute as can be!❤
I love watching Kinzie do what she loves. Moving those sheep 😁
I was having sandi and the ewe withdrawals. So happy your back but so happy you got a break for yourself too
Is Kinzie ever tired? She runs around so much. I love watching her tail go back and forth when she's pacing in the bunks.
Sometimes I forget to "like" the video. Pls give thumbs 👍
Border Collies don't get tired lol. One of the reasons I REFUSED to get one when I was looking for a "herding" dog even though my mom kept pushing me to get one. I ended up getting an Australian Shepherd who matches my energy perfectly. She always hated Aussies but Jophiel definitely changed her opinion of them!
It is great to see her still so active, like she was meant to be. My B Collie is now 16 and does almost nothing with snow up to her nose. in summer she is on hawk alert and herds my chickens, I live in a town where no roosters are allowed, but I know my flock is safe with my dog on duty.
@@jagoldenpyrenees491 My sister got an Aussie shepherd for a pet. In a condo. With a tiny patio. Uh, nope!
@@gailreed7601 Yeah... That's not good. Mine has acres to run and other dogs to play with in addition to off leash walks in the woods and his "job" of tracking down dogs who've taken themselves for a walk lol. He's a cuddly couch potato when not outside but I couldn't imagine him in an apartment.
Sandy you and your sheep just makes these gloomy days of winter so much better. I never tire of watching! And i love the young ones hopping and running so cute!
I can relate to the sheep noises changing and knowing something is up. My friend from Ireland had just come in from doing chores for me(my Christmas present) and I heard the bahs of what I think of as"look the gates open" . Sure enough the gate was not secured properly and the sheep were spilling out of the opening and Zorra(my Corgi) and I were out the front door to convince the group this was not the right move. Luckily , it worked and I yelled at them" Hey what are guys doing". They looked at me, Zorra and headed back through the gate. My friend said "how did you know they were breaking out?" I told her it is the tone and timber of the bahs. When they have found something good in the field to eat I hear the same bahs. Love seeing other women working with sheep you are awesome!
🇨🇦 Sandi , I’m not sure how difficult it would be , but I was wondering if you were able to pop a picture of the different breeds when you tell us about Rideau and Tunis etc. I know Steel is your own mix but for the purebred sire it would be fun to learn to identify each breed as you share. I look forward to each one of your videos and appreciate all the hard work you do to make them for us ❤️
There are many sheep breeds listed online in Wikipedia.
...and she actually DID do a video showing what the different breeds look like awhile back...
That little brown lamb is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
I can't wait to see Billy's beautiful babies! 😍
Maroon: You mentioned trying to find her a name on Instagram, I think Claret (like the wine!) would be perfect. ❤
I LOVE your hair today Mrs. Sandy!! It looks BEAUTIFUL!!! You always have it pulled up!!
This is just what I needed as I recover from another surgery. A little lamb therapy always makes me feel better. ❤️🐑
I have been watching almost all of your videos for almost 3 years and I cannot recall you ever explaining who does your amazing animations and graphics.
Love the punctuated lamb bleats with the sped up vid. It was musical!
Baa, berp, MAAAA, Baaah, meh...
Does anybody else talk to their screen while watching Sandi? We!!, I do and when she lifted that feed trough thingy I was saying "Sandi, you're gonna hurt yourself!". Bless your heart. I love watching your videos!
Wow, Kinsey is doing really well moving the sheep! Good girl!
Kinsey is such a big help! Love your channel, Sandi. ❤
Nugget seems to want your attention and your loving . I’m in awe of your organization skills. Thanks for filming.
Seen it a million times and will gladly watch a million more! ❤❤❤❤
Love watching 'Sheep Ballet' moving them from one stage to another.
Always so much to do. I love watching you clean the pack out. Those bottle babies are BIG ❤
Let the games begin 🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑Take care Sandi, Mark, Jess, Jack & Carissa🐕👍🏻✌🏻
Remember Rubik's cube? you had to move the green down two to make the red go left. That is what Sandi moving sheep this morning looked like. But she had a plan. Thank you for for double work so we could learn and enjoy the sheep.
Perfect.. love is in the air. Next round getting ready. Love this. Never ever gets old. Ty for all the adventures
Look at all the colors, it's a sheep rave all they need now is a disco ball💕💞 🐏🐑🎉🎊
Tomatoes always cracks me up and makes me smile!
Sandi, what did you DO to Belinda to make her "curse" you with this rambunctious, rowdy, cat-like sheep? Does Belinda ever visit Tomatoes at your place?
Thank you for doing these videos, Sandi. They always help me feel better, less old and achy! You also always motivate me to get up and get busy. You are such a hard worker, a real role model for us "city girls" to emulate. God bless you and your family!
Willow is so little, although you wouldn't have know it with all that wool❤️❤️❤️
Best Wishes Willow ❤❤❤ so excited to see your first season
I can't get enough of Sandi and the sheep's.
Good Morning Sandy - When I retired I started volunteering at our county History Center. I have learned the importance of saving materials devoted to a specific topic. In years to come people will be wondering about life in year 2023 - how many sheep did Grandma raise, what did she feed them, could she really drive a tractor, did she really climb all the way to the roof to fix something, did she love her work, etc. People get so excited when stories concerning their ancestor's is found. When the US celebrated the Centennial the counties were encouraged to publish a book on history of each family living there. This was accomplished with great success. These books are huge and filled with information and continue to be sought after. Sometimes a second book was published to complete the history of the area. So, what I am building up to is this - You have wonderful video's that tells your story of life in Ontario raising sheep, your husband's work with sustainable crops, and your son and daughter. I hope these videos are archived for the future use. When my father died he progressed through farming with horses to tractors, installing electricity on the farm, milking cows by hand to milking machines,etc. People love these stories. So, I hope you can safely save the material you are documenting. Not only are you educating the current population but also the future. Don't sell yourself short. You have wonderful, informative, actual lived experiences to share. You live in a very progressive area with many talented people. Don't lose your history. It's too important. Stay safe - Phyllis
I agree whole heartedly. A lot of my family history was lost because my grandfather and his brother ran away when they were young teens and refused to tell thier history. All we know is thier father remarried after his wife died and the stepmother was mean to the two boys and they ran away and refused to talk about it. So we don't know anything. Granddad and his brother changed thier name so we can't trace them. Both passed away years ago. You do such a good job , love you.
I love your channel so much.I like how you enjoy what you do and how you do things keep it up!❤
I'm thought Lucy was Mark's dog. She seems to be with you more and more.
I am just in awe of your logistics!
It makes my day when I get a notification that Sandi posted a video.
They’re clever 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Sandi you and your family bring me joy. Love the golden girls and glad your added 2 more. If brown one is a girl I hope you keep in flock or if ram at least keep.
So proud of Kenzy!
You and Carissa are doing a wonderful job. You care alot for your sheep. Praying Willow and Red do well there first time and that some day Nugget will to
And Teddy too!
You know Sandy, this lambing may have had a lot of dead lambs…but there was a lot of life continuing too! You have a whole lot of happenings to be very proud of. As for our Jess, it is understandable that you are grieving…l went through very similar situation with my daughter…and we as moms just keep on praying and supporting them through it….You my lady are A-MAZING…l love that you allow us to come into your circle and see/feel your concerns and pain…We cannot change things for you BUT we can hold you up in prayer…
I just love the little brown sheep i just love love him or her I wish I lived closer so I could buy her
13:18 “we went for door number B this morning” 😂 oh sandy this is the thing that made me smile and laugh tonight so thank you for this second of goofiness. Thank you for the smiles you bring even when you don’t try…..or while sheep are escaping! 😆❤❤
So excited to see Sandi again!!! Love seeing her golden ladies and the blossoming lambs ❤️❤️❤️🐑🐏
I'm always shocked at how fast those lambs grow. The time sure does fly. Can't wait till the next group!!!
Love you, carissa, Billy, willow, red, & the brown lamb. Kinsey did so good helping you today, she had so much energy it's good to channel it moving the sheep. Still she runs around and around always keeping you in her sight. Lucy loves her naps.
Sandi! Sandi! Sandi! Thank you so much for sharing all of farm life with us! Those rascals broke out of the pens .I appreciate you! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!
I have said this before but will say it again...I have seven goats and the clean up is horrible lol. How you keep your barn so clean the both of you blows me away. That really is hard work and you make it look easy to people who have no idea or really think about it. I can not even imagine. And it is always so wonderful to have them cleaned out.
I feel a bit sorry for the first few ewes who go into heat. Talk about attention over load!!! Watching the escapee lambs reminded me of the times the horses would escape. It usually was the middle of the night and raining. I'd be in bed and hear the telltale clopping of hooves coming down the drive. Many "barn words" were uttered on those occasions!
OMG Wonder woman, you work harder than any woman I have ever seen you are wonderful Sandy you I don't think there's anything you couldn't do and your animals are so well taken care of no one can say they're not because I would argue with them. Way to go girl
So before they're in heat its like a middle school dance. They stand to the side, & stare. 😅
Sandi, you have a little brownish one the number on it is 91 I love her so much, she is so adorable. Thank you for sharing!
Sandi little nugget is so precious we have to keep her you do such a great job
WHOMP!!! Run into that fence. LOL
Thank you for being you and sharing your wonderful world with us!
I say us, because initially I found your channel to show to one of my 92 year old clients. I’m a Diversional Therapist in an Aged Care facility Down Under here in 🇦🇺 and this old boy is a retired sheep farmer who lived off the land for most of his life - he has Alzheimer’s disease and his only positive memories are of his days working with the sheep, so your video’s light up his day. Together we have watched nearly all your footage, and what started as a 1:1 activity to engage him in a meaningful way has led to other clients within the home wanting to be a part of it too. So now we have a weekly screening of your beautiful sheep and he proudly explains and shares his knowledge with the others....it has given him such a sense of purpose, which warms my heart and delights his family. Now the confession time 😅 ~ I too am obsessed and the effect is contagious and many staff and some of my friends have also joined your sheep loving army!!! So thank you from Australia for your fabulous channel and dedication to your girls
Kenzie keeps maturing...how cool!
You always do a beautiful job filming and editing.
Wow so much to learn. I love it! Willow with his white around his head looks like a english judge or magistrate.
PITA followed you with her eyes while you were administering the clostridia immunization. She is in ❤️ with you.
