That was really interesting listening to Courtney. People sometimes don't realise how complicated feeding can be to get it right. Thank you for that insight
Feed is such a science. The Beutler Livestock family, a 4 or 5 generation rodeo stock contractor, just lost their bucking horse stock due to contaminated feed.
Courtney is another great addition to the Sheepishly me team. She spoke so knowledgeably about the stages of sheep production. You guys look so bonded already. Here's to less problems for you all.
Sandi, what Courtney had to say about the changes you are making was so fascinating! I am so glad she is able to partner with you and your flock. Love it when women come together to support each other. Good things ahead!
I’ve heard you talking about different rations depending on where they are in their pregnancy/ lambing cycle but I had no idea just how complex it was and how much has to go into it. Hearing you and Courtney talking was just fascinating, I’m glad she agreed to talk. Marks chats are always interesting too and whoever said you were boring is just nuts or doesn’t really listen!
Don’t know a thing about raising/ breeding sheep, but watch every one of your videos. The visit and information from Courtney really helped me understand many of the things you have mentioned in the past. Now I’m better able to understand your operation and the planning that goes into it. Please do more videos like this. I love learning about new things.
Courtney seems like an incredible woman and I found her super interesting. I hope this journey with her will help save you heartache down the line. ❤️🐑
Those mugs are gorgeous. Definitely going to have to try to get 1(or 2 :D) when fall launch happens. And mad props for checking on the boxes that fell .. as I've gotten many ceramic/clay items shipped to me that have ended up chipped before shipping (gotta love that) I love that you double-checked. Shows how much you do care. :) And Mark .. men are allowed to go grey, don'tcha know? :P Hehe. Far as I'm concerned, you can both let your hair go as it is, especially when you're busy Sandi. Don't let bad mouthers get to you. We love you with or without the hair salon visits, remember? 🥰🥰🥰
Hearing Courtney’s explanation was so freaking fascinating! I love learning and this really shows how much love and care goes into every aspect of farming and livestock and makes me so much more appreciative of all ya’ll do! From one Sandy to another, thank you so much for all you guys do! Love ya’ll!
After listening to Courtney talking, my respect and admiration for farmers (especially you, Sandy) has grown exponentially. I never realized how complex the feeding of sheep is. Thank you to Courtney for explaining it to us.
So excited Sandi has added a feed consultant to her team - having a good team and continuing to evolve it and grow it as necessary is a key to Success- becoming complacent is always the enemy in so many endeavours! It’s amazing how giving the sheep a little bit of a waist will improve their health and lambing outcomes. As a non-farmer and long time viewer, I found Courtney’s input extremely interesting - I would love for feed consulting/feed strategies to become a regular item on Sandi’s channel As a programmer, I remember struggling for days, if not weeks, to resolve an issue before finally pulling in a co-worker as a second set of eyes. The number of times they spotted the issue in a short period of time are too many to count. I always felt a mix responses - wanting to hug them and hit them at the same time. 🤣 With more experience, I learned not to struggle for so long and it was always great to be able to return the favour !
Sign up for her newsletter and she will let you know when the launch is. I am sure she will announce it on here as well. I thought she was aiming for the 4th, if all went smoothly. @TreasureDeal
Courtney has such a Positive vibe. Explaining what we are seeing is so simple and great. I'm glad you, Sandy, have such a great "cheerleader" 🎉 on your team. Those mugs will make a great hit for your "fall launch". We know we have some serious Coffee Drinkers 😂
A note about when you dropped the mugs. If you tap a broken mug with a knife or any steel object it will make a dull sound. A mug without any cracks will have a nice ring. It is very hard to see cracks in ceramics. Same way you check bells.
Thank you so much for talking Courtney into being on camera. As a fellow shepherdess I feel that I have already learned so much from you, but todays content really added a unique perspective into weight management on my ewes. Thank you so much ❤❤
hey sandi, there's a better type of packing paper that comes in a roll and you pull out and it is like honeycombed, great for packing ceramics and things as it adds extra padding, you may want to look into it.
Love having the nutritionist on. Makes so much sense the way she explained it. If I was the one carrying those mugsI would for sure be the one dropping them. Love you and the all the sheep. Have a great week. Can't wait to buy a mig
There is so much science in farming these days that I'm sure most people don't realise plus all the paperwork, rules and regulations that also goes alongside. You have to be a mathematician, etc, etc and a flipping hard worker to cope with today's farming challenges. I don't know how you have the strength to get out of bed each day. It's relentless ❤
Again, you have provided great info in regards to feeding depending on different stages of pregnancies. Thanks for collaborating with Courtney to educate us in the complex issues of feeding. Great tute! Nice job Mr. Brock!
I could watch Charlie all day shearing the sheep! I love how they just melt when he handles them. I love the new mugs! I'd like to get a black one when they come out. At least you know for sure your packing is doing its job...lol My heart sunk when you dropped them. It's very nice to meet Courtney (Kourtney)! She definitely sounds like she knows what she is talking about. I'm hoping this helps with keeping preg tox down! 🙏🏻 You seem to have a lot of new things going on in your life, and I think you are handling quite well! Just don't forget to take care of yourself!!! That's what is most important! Without you, none of this would be possible! Stay blessed Sandi and Mark! I love you guys so very very!!! 🥰💖🤗❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That was a great interview with Courtney. Took me back to my days in FFA as a teen! It’s nice for people to see all the things that really go on behind-the-scenes of farming! This was a fantastic video, as always. You and Mark look wonderful! ❤
Just randomly I happened to see this and it said no views and posted 36 seconds ago. I was so excited to be first! Then I realized seven people have already liked it (so I guess I'm not first and maybe just nobody has finished it yet.) Happy Sunday to me! Now I have a video to finish watching...
Genuinely curious; what's the obsession on RUclips with being "first"? I've never understood why this is important, or if it has some kind of significance for the channel or the viewer. Do you get something for it?
Oh - to be one of the first to see and comment …. I’m in Australia- they come out at about 2 or 3am for me - no chance I’ll ever be first😂. Congratulations- is a dream for me! I’d be so excited too - Loved your comment!
@@bestofnature-h7i I have heard that RUclips does not count "like" before the first 28 seconds to prevent people trying to scam the ratings. Now always wait a minute into the video to hit the "like" button.
Oh my gosh did I love learning something new today. Long time follower and I’m here always to get peace from hearing the lambs and your life. I grew up as a pig farmer and now work in IT and you just bring me home every week. I’m so grateful for you sharing your life.
Really enjoy your videos...especially when you include knowledgable guests! Also love the new mugs! May I suggest keeping a board against the wall at the end of your storage shelves. When packing product into bins, rather than packing on the floor and lifting (risking back injury), put the board across the 2nd shelf (connecting the 2 racks along the wall like a worktop), place the bin on the board and pack from there. It raises the bin off the floor to ease packing and lifting, but the board is removable and out of the way when not needed. Have a great day!!
Sandy, your mentoring Carisa is beautiful. She seems so much more confident than her first videos. I’m proud of you working with women to learn and grow your business. The segment with Courtney was great. Learning new things and finding answers is exciting. Keep up the good work. Proud in Alabama.
Her and Mark both had a twinkle in their eye. So I think a couple of farmers were busy last night. That's probably rude but I didn't mean for it to be, it just shows how after 26 years of marriage they're still so in love. ❤️
It was really nice to hear from Courtney about your feed rations and when you start, I am nowhere near a farmer. I’m a preschool teacher, but I do find it very interesting. I’ve been following you for years. Thank you for having her to explain things.
Courtney's exptertise was great to hear! I totally understand how you could have missed the 2.2 vs 1.8 thing. Great to have another brain on the case to help.
I personally can attest to that. My dad was stationed in Germany a long while back. He sent breakables home and used popcorn. He packed it and rolled the box downstairs. Opened it an no breakage. Popcorn is cheap and easy.
Mark has lost alot of weight!! Is he alright? You take such good care of your sheep. You dont care who you have to ask. You seek help when needed. #Respect
Sandy, you are such a wonderful, strong, authentic lady! I truly appreciate all that you share with us! Thank you for being you, and please never ever take to heart any negative comments. Peace & Grace dear soul.
So exciting to have shared in your project, Sandi from infant beginnings with the intention of using your fleeces rather than composting them. Now you've got newly built workship & a well-organized assembly line. So proud of you! Good job!! 💕💕
You are resourceful & intelligent & so capable in your management of your work. Wonderful at all that you do& always learning & growing. You are amazing!❤🎉😊
I had a good laugh watching Mark the farmer/builder turning bar tender. His sturdy hands holding that fragile crystal cocktail glass was such a change. Needed a laugh my stinking incurable cancer is getting more painful.
I am so very sorry to hear what you are going through,. I had a very painful injury (a shattered knee which turned into a complicated knee replacement). My doctor gave me a great suggestion. Make the pain the "other", give it a name and separate it from yourself. I named my pain "Ethel", but she was definitely not Me. So I would say "Ethel is yelling today, she needs a nap" or " Ethel is a bitch and I am not going to pay any attention to her, I'm going to watch a movie. and that somehow distanced the pain from actual me. I just had to put up with Ethel like a really annoying roommate but she was not me.
Sorry if duplicate. I would scrunch the packing paper rather than fold it before scrunching. Just a suggestion from my experience packing metal parts; which may not apply. Not a criticism! I love your channel just as it is!
I know this is off topic but I wanted to let you guys know that it will be "Hug A Sheep Day" on October 26 ,2024 (Celebrate on the last Saturday in October since 2010).
Congratulations on the big steps you're taking to troubleshoot your nutrition issues! I'm excited to see how much it helps. I'm boggled regularly at how difficult farming is. There are so many things to balance, and if you get any little thing wrong you can have major problems. I'm really impressed that you were able to get to the bottom of this so quickly, and that you already have a solid plan to get things back on track! This is such good news. I'm happy for you!❤
I loved your Conversation with Courtney! Hopefully this helps, I know you are always devestated when a Ewe goes down. Im so proud of all the things you have learned about sheep, how you always want to keep learning, and how you want to share your knowledge to benefit others
✨I REALLY HOPE this tidbit helps you!✨ I suggest a small change which seems obvious to me, which is NOT me trolling you at all. When you pack and seal the mugs in their boxes, you need a tote or the entire plastic bin sitting on the boxing table and fill it with the boxes there. This is as opposed to you carrying several boxed mugs over to the storage bin at the shelves and filling it there. If the issue is that a full bin weighs more than is comfortable to carry from the table to the shelve space then just employ a smaller storage bin to carry a manageable amount of product over to the storage bin at the shelves. This still avoids dropping boxes due to overloading your arms. 🥰🤞 Best of luck Sandy & Crew! 🥰🤞
Wow, Courtney is just so calming and informative. Tell her thank you for sharing! The girls look good! Even the boys were checking them out after sheering😂😂😂. Looking forward to the launch🎉
So glad you have Courtney on board! Her explanations were very enlightening and I am excited for you going forward! I really think you are on the right track! Also…had to smile at the fumbling of the mugs! Just showed how very careful you are, in unpacking each one to make sure of no breakage. My daddy always said carrying too much was a “lazy man’s load.” Guess we all are prone to trying to do/carry too much…I know I am! Should’ve listened to him more, I guess. Not a criticism in any way…just made me remember my dad and smile! Thanks, as always, for sharing your life with us all! Please don’t ever stop! My days would be so sad and lonely without you!
Nice mugs! Nobody's going to want to recycle the cute little boxes, though! Really loved hearing Courtney discuss feeding and the results, and isn't it great that your ewes look so well? How great to find such a skilled consultant! There's nothing simple about raising sheep!
Thank you Sandi. I loved the explanation Courtney gave us. It’s very hard to find the fine line between feeding what they NEED and over conditioning. 🌺💚🙃
THANK GOODNESS you are finally getting the answers! Body condition is so overlooked! Weight is EVERYTHING! So happy you have her on the team! I would love for you to consider splitting a flock into lamb numbers! Yes it's hard but it'll save your flock!
Sandi, thank you for having Courtney explain how rations are determined to give the sheep ultimate conditioning. So interesting. I know nothing about farming of any kind, I have learned so much from your channel. Farming is dependent on so many things, weather, location, types of operation, technology, tools and machinery, compromise and cooperation between you and other farmers (lending or renting machinery from each other and sometimes even sharing labor) Besides the complexity of several operations, you and Mark have incredible work ethic. You both pour your heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into this life. You amaze me. Thanks for letting us know how Jess and Jack are doing. With you and Mark as role models they are strong independent humans. Gorgeous too! Looking forward to watching and learning more. 😊
You amaze me! What a worker! You are an inspiration to all women no matter what the occupation. I’m a retired nurse and I thought that was rewarding but watching you on the farm is also so rewarding.
See Sandi, this is a good example you care about what you do... your heart is in your work. You are humbled to find better ways to take care of your sheep. When your inventory fell, you took the time to make sure your mugs were ok to sell. You have a lot of time for all the things you are going on with family, work, and anything else. Sandi does not have time for herself. But a wonderful person you are. Delete your haters!!!
Love how that lamb jumped up into the feed bunk while the nutritionist was there, kind of showing off her great condition. That was a super informative talk. Don't mind Marks grey hair. Love his reverse bandit sunglass outline on his face. It just shows how much he is outside working. You guys are a hardworking couple. Keep it up.
Hi Sandi!! Listening to Courtney speak was very interesting!! I know I still don’t understand it all but the food rationing makes more sense I think. The mugs look fantastic as does all of the fall launch items. Love you all!! 💜💜💜
The shot of Mark climbing the ladder on the storage bin impressed me. I'm an old lady now, but I have never been able to manage vertical ladders like that. Boats, swimming pools, docks, rooftop access, whatever. I have never been strong enough in the right muscle groups to do it. Bravo Mark! Your feed discussion was fascinating. Loved it.
What a fascinating video! Loved hearing from Courtney! I'm amazed at how knowledgeable you are, Sandi. No idea how you do it all, but thank you for sharing with us! 🐑
Courtney is exactly who you need on your team! I think she is guiding you on a great journey to health & fitness for your flock. It is so great to find someone easy to communicate with who fits your personality, & is so knowledgeable in the exact area you need. 2 thumbs up for both of you!!
As a postal clerk in the U S for 18 yrs, if you drop something 3-4 feet and it doesn’t break then it’s been well packed 👍

Totally agree - animal husbandry is a science !
Getting feeding right is hard with animals AND people.
Feed is such a science. The Beutler Livestock family, a 4 or 5 generation rodeo stock contractor, just lost their bucking horse stock due to contaminated feed.

I always felt a mix responses - wanting to hug them and hit them at the same time. 🤣 With more experience, I learned not to struggle for so long and it was always great to be able to return the favour !
I would recommend you get more mugs....... I have a feeling they will be your best sellers. 😉
100% agree
I already showed my daughter the mugs and told her I wanted one for Christmas. I expect they will sell out fast!
I want a white one. Where/how do I order one?

Brilliant suggestion. Sandy needs to assess each job for ergonomics to protect her back. Longevity in farming requires wor smarter, not harder.
How fun to start something new. It's a lot of hard work but very exciting. Happy for you and your helpers 😊

Friends used to own an antique shop. They found that dry popped popcorn was rhe best, lowest cost and safest way to ship delicate items.

I'm really impressed that you were able to get to the bottom of this so quickly, and that you already have a solid plan to get things back on track! This is such good news. I'm happy for you!❤
I loved your Conversation with Courtney! Hopefully this helps, I know you are always devestated when a Ewe goes down. Im so proud of all the things you have learned about sheep, how you always want to keep learning, and how you want to share your knowledge to benefit others
✨I REALLY HOPE this tidbit helps you!✨
I suggest a small change which seems obvious to me, which is NOT me trolling you at all. When you pack and seal the mugs in their boxes, you need a tote or the entire plastic bin sitting on the boxing table and fill it with the boxes there. This is as opposed to you carrying several boxed mugs over to the storage bin at the shelves and filling it there. If the issue is that a full bin weighs more than is comfortable to carry from the table to the shelve space then just employ a smaller storage bin to carry a manageable amount of product over to the storage bin at the shelves. This still avoids dropping boxes due to overloading your arms.
🥰🤞 Best of luck Sandy & Crew! 🥰🤞
Have you gotten any pumpkins this year? In the pasture were the golden girls live.
Woohoooooo a new sandi video. Always excited when I get the notification 👍🏻💝
Wow, Courtney is just so calming and informative. Tell her thank you for sharing! The girls look good! Even the boys were checking them out after sheering😂😂😂. Looking forward to the launch🎉
Hurray! 🌺💚🙃 Sandi made my day ! 🌺💚🙃
So glad you have Courtney on board! Her explanations were very enlightening and I am excited for you going forward! I really think you are on the right track! Also…had to smile at the fumbling of the mugs! Just showed how very careful you are, in unpacking each one to make sure of no breakage. My daddy always said carrying too much was a “lazy man’s load.” Guess we all are prone to trying to do/carry too much…I know I am! Should’ve listened to him more, I guess. Not a criticism in any way…just made me remember my dad and smile! Thanks, as always, for sharing your life with us all! Please don’t ever stop! My days would be so sad and lonely without you!
Ah-ha! The Science of the Lambs...
Oooo!🙄
I see what you did there. Good one.
@@Lynne2106 Excellent comment 😂
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE supporting LOCAL artists & artisans! Blessings on all your enterprises!!💕💕
Nice mugs! Nobody's going to want to recycle the cute little boxes, though!
Really loved hearing Courtney discuss feeding and the results, and isn't it great that your ewes look so well? How great to find such a skilled consultant! There's nothing simple about raising sheep!
I now want to coffee with your new mugs. ❤
Love you Sandi, friends and family 😊❤.
Courtney was very impressive. Great that you found her. 👍🏻
Thank you Sandi. I loved the explanation Courtney gave us. It’s very hard to find the fine line between feeding what they NEED and over conditioning. 🌺💚🙃
THANK GOODNESS you are finally getting the answers! Body condition is so overlooked! Weight is EVERYTHING! So happy you have her on the team! I would love for you to consider splitting a flock into lamb numbers! Yes it's hard but it'll save your flock!
Sandi, thank you for having Courtney explain how rations are determined to give the sheep ultimate conditioning. So interesting.
I know nothing about farming of any kind, I have learned so much from your channel. Farming is dependent on so many things, weather, location, types of operation, technology, tools and machinery, compromise and cooperation between you and other farmers (lending or renting machinery from each other and sometimes even sharing labor)
Besides the complexity of several operations, you and Mark have incredible work ethic. You both pour your heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into this life. You amaze me.
Thanks for letting us know how Jess and Jack are doing. With you and Mark as role models they are strong independent humans. Gorgeous too!
Looking forward to watching and learning more. 😊
You got plenty of room in new office for all your sheep memorabilia. NICE!
You amaze me! What a worker! You are an inspiration to all women no matter what the occupation. I’m a retired nurse and I thought that was rewarding but watching you on the farm is also so rewarding.
Happy Sunday , Sandi and flock❤❤❤❤🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Love the conversation with Courtney. Really made us watchers understand the whole feeding process. Thank you so much Courtney.
I love the mugs 😍
Watching the shearing is amazing. Big ball of sheep turns into a slim lady sheep 😂😂😂😂
You are such a beautiful person, Sandi!
See Sandi, this is a good example you care about what you do... your heart is in your work. You are humbled to find better ways to take care of your sheep. When your inventory fell, you took the time to make sure your mugs were ok to sell. You have a lot of time for all the things you are going on with family, work, and anything else. Sandi does not have time for herself. But a wonderful person you are. Delete your haters!!!
I did enjoy hearing your talk with the new team member. I always enjoy your videos. Love the mugs and happily the packaging works. 😄
The mugs are too cute!!
OMG that black mug needs to become part of my daily rotation!❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Courtney was so knowledgeable and easy to understand. Those are the kind of people that are good to have around!
It was so educational listening to Courtney ! Thanks for sharing!
Love how that lamb jumped up into the feed bunk while the nutritionist was there, kind of showing off her great condition. That was a super informative talk. Don't mind Marks grey hair. Love his reverse bandit sunglass outline on his face. It just shows how much he is outside working. You guys are a hardworking couple. Keep it up.
Hi Sandi!! Listening to Courtney speak was very interesting!! I know I still don’t understand it all but the food rationing makes more sense I think. The mugs look fantastic as does all of the fall launch items. Love you all!! 💜💜💜
The shot of Mark climbing the ladder on the storage bin impressed me. I'm an old lady now, but I have never been able to manage vertical ladders like that. Boats, swimming pools, docks, rooftop access, whatever. I have never been strong enough in the right muscle groups to do it. Bravo Mark!
Your feed discussion was fascinating. Loved it.
The first one, wow that doesn’t happen very often! Happy Sunday morning !
Courtney's insight seems like she will really help out your flock.
What a fascinating video! Loved hearing from Courtney! I'm amazed at how knowledgeable you are, Sandi. No idea how you do it all, but thank you for sharing with us! 🐑
Courtney is exactly who you need on your team! I think she is guiding you on a great journey to health & fitness for your flock. It is so great to find someone easy to communicate with who fits your personality, & is so knowledgeable in the exact area you need. 2 thumbs up for both of you!!
❤ love this channel
Such intelligent women!!!!!
Good morning
The boxes look so cute. hopefully this year I will be able to purchase something last year I was late 😕
❤❤🐑
❤
Me too!
A good nutritionist/feed consultant is one of the most important partner in any livestock production operation. I’m SO happy you found Courtney.
