I realize this video is from 2 yrs ago but was wondering if you ever felt sorry for exspecially the baby sheep knowing their whole life that's all the room they will have to run.
Going back and trying to remember all my fav Goat video's and rewatch them. I know people love Billy, but Goat always and will always have a special place in my heart.
I look forward to your videos. Thanks for taking the time to include us on your daily routine in the sheep business. My wife and I have 4500 White Dorper ewes and 6500 Boer Goats so we have to graft many babies on moms that are not theirs. We have stanchions where The mom can lay down stand up , drink and eat but cannot turn around and push the baby away. They’re similar to a lambing jug but have a head gate. We leave them in there for about five days and when we let the ewe go there’s a 95% chance that she’ll take the Lamb as her own.really cuts down on bottle babies and mastitis.
Sandi Brock It’s likely that you’ll be able to use the panels you already have and just either build or buy the headgate panel. We turn them loose on the fifth day and keep them in the pen so that we can see they motherd up. If not we will put her back in the head gate and give them a couple more days. Best part is each baby has their own mom and the ewes have a baby to love on. Works great on goats too and they are not the best mothers compared to the ewes. Again thanks for all you do Mike
@@michaelmcneer1214 I sell for pets mostly. I raise meat rabbits for my family though. I breed 8 different breeds. I have over 100 at the moment. I have a Facebook page. Beards Bountiful Bunnies.
Used to, try for pets, but I can't control what happens after they leave. I'll admit, if there's a large leftover, they'll often fill our freezer.no, our girls weren't happy with us about that.
Hi Sandi! I don't know which was more delightful, the lamb with the bucket on its head or your smile when talking about Goat's lamb. Enjoyed your video -- keep on farming!
I've seen alot of video's of lambings where the lambs are " pulled " and had difficulty with this. I do see why you do this because you are a larger operation that needs to save as many as possible. The problem I have is when it's a home operation of 2 to 5 mothers where the owners get impatient with the process and " pull" too early and reach so far into the mother, I'm surprised they aren't damaged. If I weren't too old, I'd love to be the " night keeper " to be there at night while everyone else sleeps. To be there to help when there are problems as well as bottle feeding the weak ones. I think even if I weren't paid but just given room and board, I'd do it. I really love your video's and I see a lot of dedication and the care you have for your flock.
Hey there, greetings from Nova Scotia ! As a larger scale sheep producer myself I really respect what you're doing with your channel. It takes a lot dedication and time and not to mention guts to open the doors of your operation to the internet. Keep up the good work !! The industry in this country could use some more ambassadors such as yourself. Just curious where you got that bottle that you used to try and feed that lamb at the beginning of the video ?
The bottle I believe I got from Farmer's Farmacy www.farmersfarmacy.com/gc/gc_page and I think maybe Brussels Agri Services sells them also...www.brusselsagri.com/
I think I finally figured it out. Your farm should be considered a "factory farm" but you give it that personal touch that ALL farms have. Doesn't matter if they are 'factory farms ' or us small farms almost all of us care for all our animals the same. Keep up the good work!

I really love the video and my neighbour has 209 sheep and 6 cows really love the lamb and that black one with the bucket on its head it was really hilarious
Shame about the 2 losses- kudos for trying to save em!!! Amazing, how aside from this, summer lambing is just not talked about. Of course I wish more places would do it, since I, as a trip bus driver, have difficulty finding time to travel to a lamb farm and cuddle/ bottlefeed baby lambs during the school year. Of course I wish more of these trips I drive would visit lamb farms. That way, if you did have a lot of bottle babies, you'd undoubtedly get eager little helpers for that!! After all, what kid in the right mind wouldn't enjoy that; the wiggling tails are instant reward enough!!! 9:12 a handy little tidbit!!! The periodic baa's of baby lambs in the background are tooooooooo much!!!!! :) Thanks for sharing this!!
I love watching your videos, especially the lambing ones. Honestly, I just can't get enough. The lambs are so cute and watching Kinsey act a fool in the background is so entertaining.
Congrats on the final lambing results. Such a more encouraging set of results compared to the challenging winter drop. So much less work with the ones being hand fed as well. The black lamb with bucket on its head! The other lambs were quite unsure of it.
Suggestion on fostering lambs. Put your Ewe in a head stanchion so she can eat, drink and lay down, put lambs with her and let them nurse etc for 24 hours. by then the ewes milk will go through them and they will smell like her then. before you turn her loose put baby powder all over her and the lambs.
I just love the lambs. Your dog is hysterical constantly aggravating the ewes. Girl you go. Do you think you could squeeze one more job into your life? Burn that candle from both ends. Just make sure it never meets in the middle.❤️🐑🐾🔥💤
Sandi. I observed you using a Refractoe tool to check the ewes milk suger level in bricks. Note you can use that Refractoe tool to check your hay brick level too. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Farm Equipment.🐑🐑🐑🐑
Seems like the more experience & knowledge you gather, the easier this lambing thing gets for you. Great job! Much continued success on your lambing expedition. P.S. Saw your Canada Day pic of you & the family downtown T.O. on FB. Hope you had a wonderful Canada Day. 💜
Hi Sandi. I love your videos and have become a binge watcher. Do you deal with shearing? I’ve noticed that you have some sheep with some nice fleece. Spinner here. The baby with the black and white head is a cutie. Thank you for sharing.
Cannot believe the amount of work you have to do with your sheep. I guess we are spoilt here in Australia as there is a much bigger population of sheep but less involvement. Cheers and good luck.
I toured a sheep farmer from Australia a couple years ago, and she said the same thing! She couldn't believe how much I handle the ewes during lambing. Likely a whole different game if out on big stations then in a barn situation? I'd love to go over there and visit!!
We're not completely sure yet (lack of usable data) but we have better statistics in warmer weather (I.e. better claim, better up and gain) than cooler temperatures. I don't know if it's them or me but we all seem to have more fun when it's warm. Extreme heat is just as difficult as extreme cold imo. Great end to this season for you! On to the next one!
Lambing is just starting in New Zealand - one of my neighbor's ewe had twins yesterday - they are outside but I bet he is hoping that the rain would stop
I like the way you give some of the bummer lambs a fighting chance. I am wondering if you take the temp before tubing. With goats, you have to bring the body temp up to at least 99 before tubing.
Thanks so much!!! Been so busy I need to have a marathon run of your vids again. I’m getting the popcorn out. Nice to see you not freezing your t£tz off for a change! 😂🤣😂
Seeing this mad me laugh! I had a black suffolk x ewe who put her head in a (feed) bucket and "wore" it just like that little black lamb. Sadly we lost that ewe to bloat a few yrs back. Love the video's Sandi :)
have ever tried spinning the lamps that come out not breathing too well, grab them by the back legs and just give them a little spin i've seen a vet do that with calfs
The brown stain is indeed maconium from the lambs poop inside the uterus...Human babies are at risk too but if they inhale it, it is a risk for infection in the lungs...Nurses are careful to suction the babies nostrils and lungs well...Do you do any kind of suction?
You just got another thumbs up.! Well Done.! I have to wander though if the expecting pregos got more exercise, than they might birth more effectively You know what I mean.? Exercise.
Hello Sandi! I have watched a few of your videos and I can’t believe that you can manage so many ewes lambing all by yourself! There are four of us in my family and we can hardly manage 80 ewes! And I have one question for you, would you ever consider breeding any charollais? I thought they might be an ideal breed for you as they are very very easy lambed and grow at an alarming rate and are good, strong, hardy sheep. Thank you very much and please keep up the fantastic work!!
Hi Sandi.. excellent results.. i thought you were gonna move onto Steel breed? Is it true that your main business is growing grains? And sheep farm is actually your side business? You are almost by yourself, you have other main business going on and you still excel in sheep farming! :)
What kind of tube feeder is that? Here we use the tube attached to a 60cc or larger syringe. Yours looks easier, it’s a challenge sometimes to hold the lamb and pour colostrum into a syringe.
If they are a little pale around the nose or really weak, with a little care like you did with the milk and a heat lamp or warm pad they tend to pop back up. I know its a hassle with extension cords.
I've only started watching your videos and this is the first time I've actually seen you gavage a lamb on camera. It's hard to tell what exactly you're doing with your hands, and I have no idea if your technique has changed since this is an old video, but it doesn't look like you're pinching the tube off when withdrawing it given the amount dribbling out. Pinching the top of the tube closed greatly reduces liquid flowing out of bottom of the catheter, reducing liquid that ends up in the mouth and aspiration risk. Probably wouldn't have done a thing for this little one but it's good practice.
There is something that can help with mastitis it's called blast back and it's a spray you spray on their teeth when they're drying up and it helps so they don't get it.
Nifty little trick about that ewe heat thing! Hope it worked. Man I would love to get 2 black and 1 splash females and 1 all white male from your babies! Just have to finish the barn though.
I want to pick your brain. Recently I lost a pregnant ewe due to complications while pregnant. I attempted to assist her but couldn't find her cervix and couldn't find any head or feet. When we took her into the vet they ultrasound her and found the babies who were deceased. What could I have done better/ different? What could have gone wrong? I'm puzzled and frustrated and sad I couldn't save her.
Lol what is that Olympic runner dog doing all the time in the background, lol you see him or her pop up and back down all across the floor lol, its funny but wondering is it trying to move the sheep or wanting for her to run jumping back and forth
have you ever cleaned up that area and have found little lambs that were stuck under the hay? (i know tis kind of morbid to ask, but my cat did this to me once and i wonder if sheep act the same- hiding something that is)
Something my Grandpa would do if a lamb dies and there’s a orphan he would skin the dead lamb and put an orphan in that skin and the mother of the dead lamb would normally accept it. Another thing the old curmudgeon did was to breed groups of 25 every 2 weeks, Gramps would only keep ewes that would lamb without assistance. Love your videos.
Does the dog ever run out of energy she has springs for back legs the way she jumps in and out of the mangers ... I’m also enjoying seeing the lamb that is black with the white face grow
I have had some luck with ewes feeding triplets. It’s always a risk if you leave the lambs on to long and they’re not doing good a lot of times they won’t take a bottle. It’s a tough decision. The lamb with the bucket on his head is better than finding a new born lamb that fell in the bucket and drown
I love watching the lambs running back and forth when the moms are eating I could watch it all day!!!
the black lamb at the beginning with the bucket on his head is me during school
LOL!!! I can relate!
Jinx Inks 🤣🤣🤣
Jinx Inks
I relate to this on a spiritual level!😂😂😂😂
Heheh that is funny
Jinx Inks I fell you
I love how that black lamb has her head stuck in the bucket lol. That was too adorable!!!
I've never worked with sheep but you are quickly becoming my favorite RUclipsr, live for your videos!

That dog is drinking WAY too much coffee !

Great results in this group! Room for improvement always and deaths aren’t fun but overall in the heat and with pregnancy toxemia, job well done!
Oh, that black lamb with the white tail! Be still my heart!
Thanks Sandi , nice statistic of lambing , very useful .You are my best sheeping teacher 👍🙏 👏🌹
So funny how your dog flys over the feeding thing
Its so fun editing these videos and watching her... I pay zero attention when I'm working! LOL
Sandi Brock what’s the feeding thing actually called
@@trishameloling2367 we call them feed bunks on our ranches around here in eastern montana. not sure if it's the official name lol
Your correct ,large litters ,higher mortality ,litter of 8/9 pups usually you’ll loose 1or 2

When you ship them are they shipped to meat markets or to auction for other farms

Auction...and then "anything goes"

A video about how you handle the environmental aspect of the barn, heating and cooling would be interesting to me personally. Happy Canada Day.
Great idea!
I've found that taking the hind legs of lamb & you do a quick spin around in circle & it should remove mucus.
The dog is very nice and happy
