Why is the Sheep Barn so WET?: Vlog 200
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Today was a day of catch up as once again, lambing was slow.
Chasing lambs around with a bottle to make sure they are getting fed by mom, and starting the last pen of ewes and lambs in the back half of the barn.
One of the big jobs we put off (because we dislike it so much) is bookwork. We recently hired my sister, which has been a life saver...
After spending most of the day as my bookkeepers assistant, I ventured back to the barn and was faced with soaking wet floors and pens. Another fallout from my roof drama.

When Sandi showed her sister I was like oh my gosh she is identical to her
Nothing sweeter than watching babies bounce around and frolic around their mamas, And those little ones that are being bottle fed are lonely without your mama. So you get to be their mom in the so sweet. I would love to come spend a week and just soak in all of the goodness of those little babies. You would not have to worry about the babies I would take over lol. Take care and God-bless Deb
Have a great Christmas Sandi and family. Your sister single?
Hope I didn't upset you about your sister
I love how you dont sugarcoat stuff! Also thank you for that one deforming video because 3 of our cows had a deformed calfs and the spine of the calf was just like that.
Number 74 in your bottle baby pen is so funny. “You smell like a sheep...*tastes pant leg* NOPE! Not a sheep.!” *Runs away shaking head*
Made me chuckle too.
If you open the door at the opposite end from the chimneys - not wide open, just a small opening at the bottom. It will allow cool air from outside to enter low and that will force more warm moist air out of the chimneys you do have via natural convection.
I thought it would be taken as being funny!
You've got to love Physics!
This series on lambing has been a classic of all the most positive qualities of a shepherd. You are tired at this point, you have taken care of your flock and been fount of info and inspiration to your video family. Thank you for doing what you do. Merry Christmas and blessings, too.
Pleeeassse make merch that says “stop stealing” with a little sheep on it.😍❤️
Katherine Philman, deal
Sheep Stuff those sheep are good girls cute sheep
Just wanted to thank you for the fine editing you do. With such a lot of cute footage available you do a great job condensing while highlighting the new babies. Thanks!
The babies are so cute when they’re bouncing around and playing with each other.
The babies are sooooo cute dancing around!
Love your videos. The bottle babies are too sweet.
I’m glad your sister is there to help you with the book work so you have time to keep making videos of the cutest lambs that bring joy to our hearts. Life is hard but a little lamb can make us smile again.
Sandi, lets talk moisture control. I'm an old greenhouse guy so I have experienced interior rain fall. If you can on warmer days/nights or times when outside temperature can be tolerated by sheep, open your side vents. Try to match inside temp to outside temp. No difference between the two equals reduced condensation on interior roof and you create air exchanges in the barn. Might be worth a try.

You are right,but since She doesn’t have chimnys on half of the barn warm air in this case amonium will stay under the roof with out motion,ventilator to suck it out will be great,and what we have grains zoolit for soil,there is a zoolit powder for animal bedding when wet.
I hope I helped 1%.
Its so cute when the babies head butt each other
I would bet the lambs head butting were males. Wild rams "Big Horns" do the same thing to establish dominance and keep their harems for breeding season.
You are such an inspiration Sandi!
I love the lamb stampede at 11:13
Sandi, I have never followed a video log so closely as your's. Maybe catch up every week or other week, but your's, especially since the roof failed, I find myself checking to see if it's up yet. So glad it's looking like you may get a break over Christmas. Wish you the merriest of holidays. My friend - she is hooked on you and she has never followed a You Tube blog before ( she mustered sheep in New Zealand many, many, MANY years ago) - and I have one request and that is that you could make them longer. You just can't put in too much cute. Even the bad, you do such a - words fail me here - great? job in taking us along with you. I'm always left wanting a little more. So please, don't edit so hard, especially on the cute and cuddly. And Thanks for enriching my life this year.
Merry Christmas Sandi and all your lady's hope u have a good one
you are getting your rancho going. A ranch in Spanish terms was a collection of people that all participated in making the ranch a profitable operation. Most of them were family groups working and living on the same ranch.
It's great to hear that you are asking for help. That's a big start in your rancho.
Those babies are so darn cute! Merry Christmas!
I know I say this everyday, but man I could watch these vlogs all day!! Would you ever think about a lamb cam? I personally would probably never get anything done, but they’re so much fun to watch!! Merry Christmas!!!! 🎄🎁💖
always enjoy watching your videos. Love watching the Lambs playing .
NOW THAT'S LOVE, family travels 3hrs total to do your books. Great Sister❗
I love this especially watching that sheep lambing, it warms my heart
Can you do a sheep live stream, or set up a camera that is always streaming so we can see your lambs and ewes
I would have in on in my house 24/7
Good idea!!
Oh please no, I wouldn't be able to do anything anymore! My productivity would be zero the second those cameras are live...
Yes! Can you remember they done that with a giraffe in a zoo a few years back. Loved it
Would fans moving the air help with the moisture problem?
Hang in there!! Praying for you!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
yes, but you need to circulate the air outside which wastes heat...its most likely ground water.. i would get better drainage outside the foundation. possibly put a sump pump in the middle, and pipe out the sewage water that will collect. i would get a wood fired stove in the middle, and it will heat, dry the air, and dry out the concrete.
Random Fandom
Yep that is my thought, a good wood stove might help dry things out with even a small fan to circulate the air when this happens

Wow!! Same big blue eyes and a smile from the heart!!
I’m glad you are conquering this unexpected problems in a calm manner.
Blessings!!
Lol, the lambs are so darn cute!!! I could sit and watch them all day!

Happy Holidays to you and your family Sandi. 🎄 🎍 🐑🐏 🐕 🐈 🐄🐮
Hi Sandi! Glad you were able to get family to help! I just wanted to wish you and Family a very Merry Christmas and hoping for a good start for the New Year!
Hey Sandi, I love your videos. I did want to respond to your comment about your dog waiting for you to ask her through the door. This is a sign of respect from her to you. The alpha should always enter first and that is what she is doing. It's a really good thing to see.
Happy Christmas xx
HAPPY 200 VLOGS SANDI💯💯❤😍😚😊🐑
Wow! That’s a lot to keep track of & deal with all at once.
Good job for your flexibility to do so.
when i feel down just watching the lambs play never fails to make me smile
I do hope your work week goes well.👍👍👍
Merry Christmas from my family to yours. We love your channel. My 10yo gets excited to know you have babies on the way. She asks in the mornings if you have new little ones each morning.
I die every time one of the lambs hop sideways. I'm a city girl and can't go a night without watching your adorable lambs and ewes. Thank you for adding a new kind of excitement to my life!
Had to come back and watch the video about why the barn was wet, because I couldn't watch it in the hospital waiting room. Was keeping my fingers crossed that you hadn't list the roof again, and was so relieved to see that roof was still there.
I hope I can do as great a job when my goats start kidding, as you do with your ewes during lambing.
👋 hello. I love your channel! 🐑🐑🐑
Love to watch the lambs jumping around......
I love watching your lambing, theres nothing cuter than seeing all those labs jumping around.
Keep going Sandi not many left your doing an awesome job ❤️❤️❤️
Those babies are hilarious to watch
It's 5:48pm on 31 of December. I'm ringing in the new year watching lambies.
I am so loving these videos with the lambs jumping and Christmas music...❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sweet I’m just days away from the start of lambing...I’m praying it goes smoothly
Christmas tune request delivered. Thankyou Sandi Brock. Xxx
Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Love your channel.
Merry Christmas to you, your family and sheeps.
Good job keeping on top of everything. Something to think about or try...we always had a bucket and scoop and spread a little lime down before new bedding. It was done to stop the spread of any bacteria, but we found it kept the straw WAY dryer. Not sure the science behind it but it made a huge difference. Try it in a few jugs side by side and see if you notice any difference. Merry Christmas.
Hi to your sis. The lambs look healthy and ready for mischief. 😁
Merry Christmas from my family to yours and a very Happy New year
Again, your dairy maid background serves you well. All the chores meticulously done! I know EXACTLY what you mean about being tired and letting little management things slip, like bedding up. Excellent point!
The idea of leaving the door at the chimney-less end of the barn open enough to create natural convection to move moisture to the remaining chimneys is an excellent one. Hopefully won't create too much draftiness like fans. Besides without CHANGING the air, you can't remove the moisture. Fans just relocate it slightly. BTW - TOTALLY relate to your issue with bookkeeping!
Great video, very interesting from the beef cattle that I'm used too! And, who doesn't love seeing some lambs!
I love the clean straw dance from lambs!! They get so happy!
Omg! Their faces are so freaking cute!!!! 🥰😍
another fantastic video,keep up the hard work and a very merry christmas to you and your family
Girl, just found you and I am obsessed. I am vicariously living through you. Thank you so much for your videos. I love them.
This case happened. When the wet-bulb temperature of the air becomes equal to or higher than the temperature of the concrete floor. To overcome this problem you need to reduce humidity by blowing dry and warm air
during the night
In other words, you need to reduce the relative humidity a little by blowing a little dry hot air

Yep I have this happen in my shop now and again. The concrete sweats when it gets cold then the temperatures rise and moisture buildup happens on the surface of everything if there isn’t enough dry heat.
A small heat source works well.
Sicktrickintuner
Yes a small heating source it will works well . Just overcome wet- bulb temperature . Or just reduce humidity by heating the air . Its the same concept
By the-way. I own a flock of s ewes, ranging from 170 to 210 ewes. I have no problem with this herd. I spend 10 days with him in the winter season and 10 days in the summer season if lamping. For the rest of the year, the herd enjoys with the shepherd in the green pasture. And I feed the herd for only 40 days in winter and the rest of the year. The herd depends on grazing
Sorry for my bad English
I hope I could give idia about my sheep rearing stail
Family is a great help for jobs like bills along with books, and the other sister help you with putting all the lambs into the computer..... poor baby’s and mama’s not good with wet bedding! Love your sweet bottle babies....
Enjoy your little break and the holiday season with the family - the second half will be birthing before you know it. Love watching your videos and all of the little ones. And yes, I have my favorite too. Look for it every video I watch.....
It's fun to have your sister there!! I only have one sister and one brother so I'd love to have them around more often.❤️❤️❤️ But they would be zero help with our farm😉😅😂🤦
You are all so lovely and those smiles❣️Beautiful❣️🐑 Love from an American living in Abu Dhabi, UAE 🇦🇪
Happy 200th vlog!!!
I've watched a lot of your videos because you're so thorough in your explanations and your sheep are so cute. I'm worried about you sometimes. You get so tired and work so hard. I hope you get a break with lambing for a few days over the holidays and you can rest. I wish I could send you some bagbalm for your lips. They look ouchy. My mom used it on our lips when ours would get so chapped that they would split and bleed int he winter.
Awesome video like always merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best 🎄🎄🎄
Love how a lot of your ewes have triplets and have no problems taking care of them all. Call those roof guys ASAP Good luck
Do you have a sawmill near by?? Saw dust...fine saw dust on the floors near the feeding station and big door ( non pen areas) would do wonders to clear the moisture out of the barn...also get rid of icy slippery floors . AND it easy to clean up!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, OUR OLD BARN USED TO GET WET EARLY ON, OUR VET NEVER MENTIONED DAMPNESS POSSIBLY BEIN A CAUSE, LEARNED SOMETHIN TODAY
Sandi I'm sorry you had another potential crisis but we know, that's farming.
All the little ones look good.
It is wonderful you shared some of your life outside the farm.
Perhaps if you were to make trip home sometime you could show us some of your favorite old haunts and friends you grew up with.
I hope your family has a very Merry Christmas.
God bless.
Such a joy
Sandi, it sounds like some people would like a live stream. Could you do that from your nest cams? Something to think about when you have time to catch your breath. You are doing ewesome with your girls. We can tell you love them. There is just not enough of you to go around. I hope you can get some rest. Shalom.
You've worked so hard this season. Praying for you. :-) Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Yeat
Awwww all looks good today they really loved the new beddin those lambs r the cutest all u can see is tiny little heads bouncing around everywhere :)
A Merry Christmas to you and yours! I love your videos! Its lamb therapy for me and makes me smile! Thank you!
Beautiful crop & great job
Your hair is so nice in this video despite the chaos
Your doing a great job Sandi thank you for your wonderful channel and May I wish you and your family and all the ladies and lambs a merry Christmas 🎄 hugs from the Deep South of New Zealand 🇳🇿
My border does the same thing with going outside, getting in cars, and getting on beds lol
My corgi won't jump or come in/up until i say "right up, right in" or "you can come up" she is literally the best dog i have ever owned. I dont deserve her.
The water bowls seem to be a recurring theme for you. Why not install another bowl or two to help with your constant pen changes?
16:05 - Ewe marked 52. She is in the pen with the other ewes that have delivered, and i swear to look at her i would have her in the pen of ewes waiting to deliver! Your system has side benefits that you probably don't need or notice because you know your sheep!
their is a 52 marked lamb that was nursing, like 2 seconds after u saw it just looks like 25 but if it was another lamb she would have pushed it away maybe watch before u react next time xF
Love all your videos, keep up the good work that you do, Merry Christmas to you and your family and workers.
Little jumping beans..😄 Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄
Fans? Big huge ones! Can you blow it down towards the part that still has the chimneys so it has hope of going out through them? We - the arm chair quarterbacks that know NOTHING - can dream up ideas for you but only you know what will work for you. I hope the suggestions give you a moment to breathe and perhaps laugh. We mean well.
Good job hiring Sister! Like Mark did with the washing service- Delegate and hire where you can. You are doing good work 👍🏼
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
2:52 sheep alert, Sandi is a sheep indeed 😂
