John sounds like an amazing problem solver! Doing his own thing with what is available. I love that! His knowledge and ingenuity is valuable. It may not be his baliwick but he needs a youtube channel. Quite often I'm able to use ideas from an ingenious person and adapt it to my needs and I'm sure there are many others.
Thank you for all of your work on this vlog. And thanks for all of your kind words about our farm. We seem to have a work in progress with changes/improvements being made every year. We want to encourage other sheep farmers to embrace life long learning. There's still plenty of room for improvement in this industry. Any small thing to make the life of the farmer easier or the health of the animals better, is welcome. Best of luck to you and all of your vlog followers.
Hello Sandi, I am not in sheep I just really look forward to watching your videos and love watching what you do. I think you are terrific and a die hard workaholic, in that train of thought I only have one comment you seem to be loosing quite a bit of weight which you cannot afford to do. Sandi I love watching your videos and therefore I want you to be mindful of your own Heath. It would not be good for the sheep to have their loving”mama” get ill. Keep up the good work and excellent vlogs and you tube.
Another great quality content video from you Sandi!! Thank You. It is very calming and relaxing to just get some time away from the hub Bub and craziness of the lamb and farm.
Love watching your videos and seeing the differences compared to here in New Zealand. Would love to see more of the medical, health side of what your doing though 😀
Awesome vid! Thank you so much for sharing this, I really enjoyed it and took away some pretty neat ideas, that I might use with my sheep. (That recessed water bowl station was genius!)
very cool video - im not a fan of grain feeding ruminants - mainly due to some of the health detriments than can occur - hence why we raise our flock 100% pasture
Nice vid. There's a man after my own heart. Use it up, make do, or do without. What are your thoughts on the stocking density of that first pen? Unless it was larger than we saw, it seemed a bit crowded.
I didn't get the whole pen in my shot, and we were scaring the lambs to the back of the pen. I was actually going to leave that footage out in case of that! But it was good information, so I left it in...
@@SandiBrock I’m glad I read the comments because I was thinking about how crowded they were and thinking wow, everyone thinks this guys operation is great? I’m glad to know that the sheep were crowding together to get away from people. To be honest I very much prefer your operation, I think his is just too big and to them they’re just dollar signs where you actually care about yours and know most of them by sight and many of them have names. You are very hands on with yours so I would always choose yours first.
@@Lwah0812 I'm bingewatching from #1. It's now May 2023. The main thing that I love about Sandi is that she tries to catch every birth, saving the lambs and ewes when they are backwards or sideways. This farm lets all their singles and twins birth out in the fields unassisted. I can't imagine how he gets his percentage of live lambs up so high. I'm not a farmer, but grew up in cattle ranching country in Montana. My exposure to that was only at the county fair and visiting my great-uncle and aunt when my cousin would take me horseback riding. However, I'm utterly fascinated by all the things I am learning. This video was endlessly fascinating. But I love Sandi's setup best.
@@janisedenton4242binge-watching from number one too! I actually think his percentage lost between drop and wean is higher than hers too. It was 0.23 difference and hers is often lower I think. I agree I prefer Sandi's fully hands-on caring approach.
I’m looking a mobile sheep races in England and the super expensive , the panels and race you use looks perfect and maybe not so expensive (the blue ones) are they home made or bought it in
Hey Andy... I bought these from a local company in Ontario, Canada. They are affordable, but to be honest, not all that mobile. I hate throwing shade at anything... I bought them knowing they would stay set up. In my finishing barn, I do have to set up and tear down each time, and it's not bad, but I'm inside the barn. If I was trying to move these around on pasture or load them on and off a truck, I'd be super buff, but likely with a bad back. So, not sure what kind of set-up you have over there... They work great for me, but hate for you to get something that doesn't work as well in your situation... I'll link the actual system, and the company I buy it from who is a distributer... www.marweld.ca/animal_handling/wcct www.brusselsagri.com/

Thanks Eadie!!
Very cool to see a greenhouse used as a barn! We're getting started and binge watching as much as we can to learn what we can. Thanks for this!
Awesome! thanks for watching!

You need him to teach you how to make your sheep behave while your are talking - lol - they didn't say a peep !!! Really enjoyed your video !!!

Sophia Lauren talks about sheep stuff... :)
Ok,I think there is way to many sheep in the pen for demo.
