    I wish more people in the world were as kind and sensitive as you. The true love you show towards the sheep and their babies is amazing to watch, no matter how many times we see it! Whether you're happy, sad, mad, excited, disappointed, in love with a new baby, or grieving over a lost ewe or lamb, you're 100% genuine! Keep doing you! God bless and keep you and your family safe.

    I absolutely LOVE how you're so true and honest, a very rare trait to see on RUclips and the internet. You keep it real, and that's what matters. Watching all the mini segments of various parts of your farm life is what makes this channel so awesome. You blend them together so well, it's pure brilliant awesomeness. You Sandi are undeniably my favorite lady on the internet. I seriously check my phone EVERYDAY for a notification if you posted a new video, lol, and if not, I go find 1, 2 or 4 older ones to watch again, because I just gotta, ya know, get my "Sandi and her Sheep" fix in!!! Kinsey has definitely come into her own when it comes to herding those sheep!! She guides them to the gate so well, like she's dancing behind them, and then she looks at you with her tail wagging and she doggy smiles so proudly... I can't hold back my huge grin at her!! She's precious beyond measure!! Bella's a big girl now, and before we know it, she's gonna be bred too. How time flies!! But that's how it is when you find someone worthy to follow, to subscribe to, and to love.
    My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!!

    I am not a farmer, nor have I ever been a farmer, but I enjoy watching your videos because you are so real! You tell it like it is, and you show your humanity. I don't care if you have a bad day because we all have bad days. I'm retired, and with Covid, I don't get out of the house much. Your videos are much more entertaining than the stuff on TV these days here in the States!
    Thank you for your videos, and keep them coming!

    Sandi, one of the reasons I like your channel so much is because you let your vulnerability show! I feel vulnerable too and coping with life is very challenging at times. It really help to watch another person having similar experiences and know that I’m not the only one who has these issues.

    I've been watching your videos for 2 1/2 years now and I love them all. Everything you do from each lambing season to the next is never boring. Always full of education. And even though you touch on the same topic at different times throughout the year it's never the same exact delivery. So keeps me interested. Thank you so much for the last 2 1/2 years of education and letting us see into your life as a farmer😊

    Ahhh my sweet girl, you are doing a great job. I love seeing the real you happy , sad, it makes no difference. I just Love you being real, no fakery! we all have those days, lol that's what in part makes you so adorable. Thank you for showing us all the side of farming we do not get to see ( being the non farmers ) It really makes us understand what goings on, so when we pick up our meats at a store we have a better understanding into how it got there. Farming is such a lost art we take for granted. We should teach all are children the skill of animal husbandry in school. As well as farm management. Thank you for all you do dear Sandi, Hugs and Love to you and your Family!

    TIM from Canada so if you were in the barn and you were having a bit of a water leak.. and you have squeegee all your water up and out... suggestion for you if you owe or can get a hold of a leaf blower... Use this it will dry up your water and you will not have any puddles it might be a bit messy but your ground will be dry and it just might keep the ace of your walkways.. same goes when you’re cleaning the pans.. after you were done you can use the leaf blower to blow out the small stuff that is in your way you would be surprised what a battery powered or corded leave blower will do something to look into

    I love your channel so much! I've watched so many of your videos and I have not gotten bored once. You are so honest and real, and that makes it so enjoyable to watch. I really appreciate how you include the 'bad' too, because it makes it so much more real, and relatable. Keep up your good work! You're doing such a good job!

    I love your day to day challenges. All I need is a video a day. I feel like I’ve missed something if 1 day goes by.

    Love your humor, " sheepishly" when people miss stuff it's the daily needs.

    If you were always perfect and happy, it would be boring. Thank you for being genuine.

      I was thinking of a shop vac ( industrial one) where Sandy just sucks up the water, but I like your idea better! Your idea would save a lot of time.

      @Nick DeJohn What about a lawn tractor or an ATV with a plow attachment? Could that be MacGyvered ?

      There are many examples of tyre scrapers mounted on a frame that is quick attach to the Bobcat boom. They use an old earth scraper tyre cut in half and with one or both sidewalls are shaved down flat and mounted in a steel frame to collect and move liquid manure or bedding (or snow) by being pulled or pushed in front of the tractor or skid steer. However they would be too wide to drive down the feed passages in Sandi's barn.
      For narrow passages we had one which was a pedestrian controlled and steered machine with a curved rubber tipped blade out front and two big 12volt batteries mounted on top of a electric motor chain drive to a simple gearbox driving an axle with twin solid tyre wheels on either end. Two handles on the handle bars (1 for reverse and 1 for forward motion). The more you squeezed the faster it moved. Straight line powered movement and control was easy but steering around corners was a little tricky especially if you were using power to do so. It was designed that all the weight was balanced above the axle for max grip and making it easier to manouver in tight spaces.

      You could always get a floor scrubber they have a squeegee on the back and on the front it has two scrubbing brushes. The best thing it propels it self and all you do is guide it along. The all run on batteries .

    Don't worry about showing us things more than once. Even those of us who are not farmers enjoy seeing your routines and effort.

    I am a retired city girl. The reasons I watch: you are genuine wonderful human, your dogs are hilarious & always make me smile, the care you put into your flock is interesting, & those lambs are so cute. Stay just the way you are, you & you family stay safe, & thank you for sharing your life with us.

    Sandi, I love turning your videos on and listening to them as I work on some project. You are so human and so easy relate to. I love the details and the big picture. I have to admit that it's the lambs that bring me in. Living in Idaho, we would travel to see the sheep lambing in February and every spring and fall the herds would be brought through town to take up into the hills for the summer. I don't think I'd ever raise sheep but I have a deep respect for those that farm and raise animals.

    I’m glad you’re starting to realize that it’s OK to be vulnerable. Farming is a lot of ups and downs and that makes a person naturally emotional, not to mention the emotions that come with being public and creating content and wanting people to like something you put so much time and effort into. You’re one of a very few woman farmers on here and women are more willing to show how they feel because they’re more emotionally intelligent. You’re just continuing your pledge to keep all this real - you have always taken the time to show and explain your lowest lows in farming. You show us the reality that it’s not all perfect, and that’s why we appreciate you!

    I love how it just takes one sheep/ ram to decide something.. seeing the girls hop out of the truck was funny, they all looked so scared until one jumped! Awesome!
