I'm looking into sheep a smaller scale farming operation, but your insight and the daily videos of what you actually do really show me the day to do of taking care of sheep. THANK YOU!

I respect your efforts and your personality very much, and I am happy that you went to learn accounting And the allocation of a doctor, a veterinarian and a nutritionist, and I hope to see your farm with automatic feeding, as well as automatic fertilizer removal, and for all appreciation and respect
I just would like to thank you. Your knowledge, honesty and genuine desire to help educate others is amazing. I really appreciate you. I’m thinking about a career change and all of this has been invaluable.
I'm glad to see you promote contact with the local Extension Service for more info. I think our North American Extension Services are one of the unsung heroes of our productive farms.
A few things I've noticed since watching your videos that have nothing to do with your farming practice but are worthy of mentioning ... * your hair ... that chestnut color looks FABULOUS on you; matches your boundless energy!! * you've grown very comfortable in front of the camera ... you wear your confidence well!! * your camera skills have vastly improved from the beginning ... you've found your groove!! * your authenticity shines through ... you radiate from the inside out a true & natural beauty!! * you ROCK ... your ability to own your mistakes and your successes is what makes you such an incredibly inspiring teacher!!
Will you be my friend FOREVER??? Wow!!! thank you so much for this. Its funny... the list of things you mentioned are all the things I'm super insecure about... I've always hated my hair. I sometimes want to throw up editing my face and my voice. I always look bad, but in no way want to glamour up for the barn... so instead, thousands of people get to look at this nightmare. and... my failures always knock me down. and they can always feel like they outnumber the successes. So this journalling is a good venture for me to go back and see progress. I will never be perfect, but if I'm better than the day before, I'm happy.
@@SandiBrock Of course I will be your forever friend lol! Heck, who wouldn't want you as a friend?! From everything I've seen & heard in your videos, there is so much about you that is worthy & valuable of love, loyalty, admiration & respect! I get that you are highly scrutinizing of yourself. It's a self-improving quality that drives you to be & do better and is what I believe many of your viewers value so much in you. You own your mistakes. You scrutinize & learn from them, and as a result you grow. And then you share all of that with us your viewers. That is what makes you such an amazing teacher of lamb farming!! As for all those beauty insecurities, I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. Maybe then you would see a different beauty staring back at you each day. Apart from being a natural beauty, your greatest beauty lies in your ability to be brutally honest about who you are without apology, especially with your insecurities. In a world where everything fake is valued over everything that is natural & authentic, you are a truly beautiful and refreshing breath of pure oxygen. Very grateful you are in this world. 🙏🏼
I love the honesty and openness you share! It feels like I’m talking with a dear friend. I look forward to when your reminder “bell” rings that something new has posted! 👏🏼 Did you know that there is “an app for that” paper planner” on your iPhone! It’s wonderful! It can download all your events and coordinate with your home office calendar it even lets family members know! Try it! I use the google calendar 📅, it can set alarms and set up meetings and add via video calls and so many other fun things! I use it for my dog rescue stuff, work and all my personal events, it’s AMAZING! 😁👍👏🏼 Again, thank you for always sharing wonderful and intriguing content! The ladies are looking beautiful and very happy as always! Please tell them “hello!” from us in Oregon! God Bless!
Love it! I've been following a RUclipsr to learn how to better use Google Calendar and calendar blocking... But then I leave the house, and all my plans get changed... LOL
Sandi Brock that’s where your iPhone is your best friend and assistant! You will love it once you commit. It is a trust issue at first... I didn’t trust him at all but then “google pants” (that’s my assistants name) started remembering things I didn’t and 💥 BAM 💥 just like that I was hooked! 😂👍
hello very nice farm. I wonder what you use for the internal and external parasites in sheep and at what intervals you use them. I would be glad if you answer :)
شكرا لكي سيدتي لهاذا المجهود العظيم في هاذ العمل المظني من التعب والصعوبه انا جزار من العراق ومن المتابعين لكي وكم اتمنا ان اكو ن اعمل الى جانبك ؟ لاني اعشق هاذا العمل ..اتمنا لكي التوفيق والنجاح الدائم ♡♡♡♡♡
Teacher here, I loved your 5 tips. I am using a similar list. Build relationships with my team members and children. I use pre assessments to determine student needs and classroom activities based on need. We as a team develop systems for assessments and timing based on grade level standards. We calendar assessments and objectives. We then reassess after instruction to see if we need to make adjustments to the calendar or research a concept. We also take on going professional development. This was inspiring. thanks
Wish I was 30 years younger. Your advice makes me want to get into this business. I also wish I lived near you. I love bookkeeping!! I would take over your books and instead if payment, just letting me cuddle with the babies would make my day. 🐑🐑🐑🤣
As someone just starting to explore this industry, THANK YOU! I didn't even know there was a master shepherd's course so I will definitely be looking into that. I do not live that far from you and I find it really inspiring to be able to watch the progress and day to day operations of a female sheep farmer. Thank you for letting us into your barn and not being afraid to show us all the ups and downs you face from day to day. Love your content!
So great Whitney!! Thank you! I'm glad they help, even a little! Definitely check that course out... there are a few modules left and you can sign up for individual modules that interest you!
Wow, you are a female version of myself where it comes to your farm and proper management and planning. You have come a long way and become a master at your craft. Attention to details and constant monitoring of everything along with data collection is the key to your success.
Hey ty for sharing with us I Keep learning more about your sheep I wound like know more about breeding and lambing and brithing and weaning of lambs and I think be great part know ..
I love this so much! I am about to go out to my girls to check my lambing and my babies on the ground. My flock is tiny compared to yours but I am just loving all this info. We are slightly different here in New Zealand as to how we run things, for instance our climate is such that we don't lamb indoors, it's all in paddock, and they are grass fed 100% rather than hard fed which is a bit more on the simple side. Also for me right now I do this because I enjoy it rather than for the financial returns, but from a husbandry aspect, everything you share goes a long way to making us all better stewards to our flocks. I am about 3 or so years in and still learning each and every day and I know I have a long ways to go, but your vids inspire me to grow what I am doing and maybe make it something that is profitable. So again I just want to say thank you for sharing this all with us
Great vid👍5 great tips, money is interesting issue having experience in sheep I would look at layout shed n think cost putting something in new or second hand n is worth fixing when you have enough finances eg water trough, I seen farmers spend no money having manual fill n clean water trough, time n labour is big cost. Put in troughs but not functioning well then replacing with another trough or putting water lines in deciding cutting lines n changing it. All these silly problems cost money n time so planning n asking people with working experience in this field will save money. Plan your daily jobs n see where you can be efficient despite it cost money to setup it will pay later on. I hope this helps anyone managing sheep setup.
Great video. While I have kept sheep for over 20 years as a hobby, my day job was a building site manager with millions of pounds worth of turn over a year. All well run business runs on planning and systems and sheep farming is no different. I used excel to project lambing dates etc. There is a program called Microsoft project which is excellent and you can produce Gant charts and put costs in etc. I'm sure a smart lady like yourself would breeze through it. Just a thought. Keep up the good work, and yes knowledge is power
Hay, Fantastic sharing, I believe your hard work paved the way to successful farming as human are not born educated, your videos are motivation for me and my staff as we are going through the 1st year with goats. Grt work Sandi. Wish you all the best.
Sandi I just love your channel so much.. also so informational and just wonderful to watch. Your such a hard worker. Keep up the good work. Best RUclipsr out there...
Hi there, love your vlogs. I'm a sheep, beef and cropping farmer in New Zealand and find it fascinating to see how other countries run things. Must admit I love having a predator free country!! Keep up the great work
Hi, am a vet, from Botswana, trained in the UK, leaving in Australia. I must say, you are good at what you do, and you are Heating on very important and crucial points. Keep it up, and keep on growing and telling your story. Thanks Ben!!!!
Have great time I always enjoy to see your farm activities, I am a vet working small ruminants, today watching your video with my mother she is sending u good wishes ,
It’s funny. I’m just seeing this now, but I have been watching your videos for years….mostly at lambing time…so I include you as one of my resources…for relationship building…even though you were unaware. So thank you for all your help.
Nice informative stuff i just subscribed to you channel. Im about to start raising sheep and I’m looking forward to learn more from ur experience. Thank you for a such good videos
Hi, Thanks for amazing video. I am also planning a sheep farm similar to this, green house style, but my biggest concern is heat in the summer. The temperature in the area where my farm is gets as high 40 degrees hot in the summer, and up to -30 degrees cold in the winter. Please give some advice. Thank you
Do you think that you could implement a cafeteria system into your existing system whereby you create a wagonwheel grazing area under irrigation aroung your sheephouse, allowing your sheep,even in their individual groups the way you split them up, to have access to fresh grazing throughout the day but are being fed your special rationsfrom the time they get locked up for the night. Obviously I ask for the sake of bringing your cost to produce down. You are a great inspiration. Thank you!
The only tweak I have on your lambing cycle as you work those out are what big holidays that are the best prices for lamb each year that you can work your way backwards from - ie when the lambs go for processing for those holidays as you need as many as you can at the right weight by that date for your best returns on that lambing cycle - Easter and Christmas and Jewish or Greek holidays are they big in Canada?
Easter remains the biggest market through the year, which I do try to hit... Problem is, it falls on a summer breed (July) and the ewes are the hardest to get bred in this month... If I aim for lighter lambs and breed in August or September, I run into lambing in the dead cold of winter, which doesn't work well either... So I do try to aim for these markets, but sometimes logistics just doesn't line up...
Hi Sandi.. thank you very much for all your videos. I was wondering if there is any Rideau Arcott sheep farm in the USA. I could not find on web. Is there any association that you are a member of? Or a farm in the USA that you sell your ewes to? Thank you..
Great question! Rideau is a Canadian made breed, so not really sure if there are any in the States or not? I don't belong to an association except for our provincial sheep commodity board...
Another great video Sandi, I didn't know sheep farming is sooo organised and analytically planned ?love your videos !best of luck to your venture. and all power to you, the world can never have enough sheep :-) but you really need to teach them to read a calendar LoL
excel is a very powerful and versatile tool. and you don'even need the original (and expensive) one, but you can also download an open version. yes the ms excel is the best, but for most of us an open version is more than enough
For success in living… Be reconciled to the living God Jesus Christ… 2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV) 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Great advice not only for farming but for starting any business! My husband has decided to get serious about expanding our beef cattle herd (which means a new job for me) so I love watching your videos so I can apply it to our farm...I wish I didn’t have to get rid of my sheep when I was pregnant with our last kiddo! Maybe some day...
First off, will you remember me once you make your first Million $ or CDN....LOL Thanks for not shipping your refuse to the Philippines....LOL Best of Luck, your Hard work deserves financial rewards !...Bulldog
Hi Sandi, Do you turn your sheep out ? Coming from the UK I have only had experience of sheep being under cover for winter/lambing otherwise they are in the fields. I was wondering if maybe you have them indoors because of the predator risk ?
Yes, she has stated that she keeps them indoors year round because of predator risk. The main space has sides that roll up for ventilation and they grow a lot of the feed on farm.
Do your sheep go outside? Just curious since I haven't seen that. Or maybe you only film in your barn area? Enjoy the info, as a hopeful large acre land owner in the future.
I liked it, because you have put points practically in place as Sheep's farming demands. Secondly your word " working hard is not enough to achieve results, but working hard with education of particular field is important " all the best to you. Wonderful job. Keep it up. It has benefited me. Thank you. Mohammed Suhel

Maybe some day...
Agreed - very good advice for any business venture
I'm so glad the videos help Breanne! Good luck with your new business!!
Good video. Sheeps look healthy. What is the average weight gain per month. Please tell about feed composition.

Hi sandy..

Useful information...very sincere and true in imparting knowledge ....just want to know turnover n size of ua sheep farm....
Hi Sandi, Do you turn your sheep out ? Coming from the UK I have only had experience of sheep being under cover for winter/lambing otherwise they are in the fields. I was wondering if maybe you have them indoors because of the predator risk ?
Yes, she has stated that she keeps them indoors year round because of predator risk. The main space has sides that roll up for ventilation and they grow a lot of the feed on farm.
You bet... Dianne is right. The farm is pretty concentrated with coyotes so I made the decision to keep the sheep indoors.
Thanks. 🤗
Do your sheep go outside? Just curious since I haven't seen that. Or maybe you only film in your barn area? Enjoy the info, as a hopeful large acre land owner in the future.
She had said she lives in coyotes all over her farm. She doesn't want to risk their health.
Emma was right... We are surrounded by coyotes, so I made the choice to keep the sheep indoors...
Thanks for the reply! Coyotes are something we deal with in Texas as well so when I finally upsize to more land I'll have to bear that in mind!
Nice video!!!!!!!!
Thanks Myles!
Do the sheep go outside into fields during summer months?
I liked it, because you have put points practically in place as Sheep's farming demands. Secondly your word " working hard is not enough to achieve results, but working hard with education of particular field is important " all the best to you. Wonderful job. Keep it up. It has benefited me. Thank you. Mohammed Suhel
