The precision that you drive those behemoth farm machines is amazing. Especially, in reverse. Also, how you fix them. What a lady of talents. Mechanics to vetting and husbandry. You make womanhood so proud.
Thanks for including Jack in this upload. He has the ability to say "so much" without saying anything. Glad GOAT is on the mend. Kudos Sandi on your ability to fix your telehandler. Love the saying, "you break it, you fix it". Cheers to all.
Sandy, congratulations on Miss Goat’s recovery - I know how much she means to you. Seeing Lucy sitting in the co-pilot’s chair beside Mark was so adorable! Also, the moment when you told the ram in the feed bunk that he was giving sheep a bad name and he hung his head in shame was priceless.
Sandi, so glad you weren’t injured when those bales fell! Goats on the mend, Carissa is working more often , hay looks good… knock on wood, things like they’re going well!👍❤️
I'm glad to see it because she wanted SO badly to be of use to Sandy! I always noticed her trying really hard to anticipate what she needed from her, I figured she would learn with time as she watched sandy worked and her sitter she calmed with age. She's a rock star now!
While syringing goat...other sheep at the fence watching.....as you got into position straddling her, they all took off....no way do we want that.....too funny
As a non Vancouver Resident, 20k south and living here since “79, I do miss Ontario. the Barrie area(Tornado, so sad) Owen Sound Sudbury, the Su, Oshawa, and T.O. You and your Family give me a good feeling, on every episode :) Thank you!
I cannot convey what a relief it is that Goat is feeling better! I had to put my rabbit down, both my neighbors lost their dogs last week, a friend’s tarantula is sick, a beloved horse coliced and died…. July 2021 has been ROUGH on the critters.
Kenzie is loving being a part of the team! She is going to come along nicely in her training. I'm hoping you never have another "straw bale fall" ever again, but perhaps Mark can affix a cage in front of your head lamps to protect them. Goat has a great team working for her. I hope the results are good, and she is gaining and keeping weight soon. Thanks for another great video, Sandi!
So happy Goat is doing better! Kinzley is doing so good at herding, such a good dog! And BTW, Jack is a cutie, I wish I had a daughter his age to introduce to him! ❤️
Kinsey is getting so good with the sheep yes she still has her moments when she gets ahead of herself but she has come along way especially I don’t see you having to tie her up or putting her outside so I would say she is making a very good sheep dog and I wonder if Mark gets any good conversations out of Lucy when she is on the tractor of he is missing his human companion she is a silly dog not very good on navigating
My thoughts exactly 💯. Kenzie has gotten mature with her skills and it really shows with the way she kept all the ewes together and stopped a few from bolting. GOOD JOB KENZIE 👏👍👌
I love how your ram held his head in shame and the two you questioned about putting him in the feed trough both ran away . So funny ! Carissa did so well. She’ll make a good shepherd. She is so quiet and so hard working. It’s so good to see Goat on the mend xx
I just love your videos. Awesome family dynamics. Jack a man of little words but body language full of thoughts. I love how Kenzie is coming into her instincts she is getting better and better at her job. Kudos to all love from California
Really like the footage of Kinzie herding the sheep. She is so proud of herself, while doing it and she does a great job. I don't understand how I can love a dog so much, that I have never personally met.
So glad to see that Goat is getting better. That buck has a mind of his own lol. Sandi you are fantastic with whatever you do. God bless you from Michigan ❤
Your sheep tickle the far outta me and I’m glad to see goat becoming herself again and I loved it when that sheep was in the feed bunk lower it’s head in shame like It did that was funny. Great video by the way have a blessed day
Way to go, Carissa! It’s so nice to have backup and help. It makes the jobs go so much smoother and faster. I’m really glad my sister taught me how to work with her livestock before I got my own. Most people have no idea how much “vet” work gets done by farmers. 🐑 🐑🐑
Glad to see that 'goat' is feeling better. I could tell she was by the way she was fighting you for the medicine. The ram made me chuckle when you told him off and he turned his head away in shame 🤣😍
Brings back childhood memories of helping to load bales. We r experiencing a drought around Winnipeg. Farmers need feed for the winter. If u have any extra we will take it. Keep up the good work🤗🇨🇦
There sure is a lot of different things that have to be done to each of the sheep…..coordinating the hay and food for them is also amazing you all are awesome …. Thanks for sharing
Shot through the heart and ewe to blame ewe give sheep a bad name. I play my part and you play your game, ewe give sheep a bad name Lmfao I love it!!! I think I was like 8 when I went to see him with my best friend and older sister who might have been 16 lol, wow the memories 💚🐑💚
Yay! Glad Goat is on the mend. She cracks me up. I go back and watch the bucket on her head and you knocking on it! lol Did you ever name Billy's mom? If not, how about Billie Jean, in keeping up with the 'Billy' names? Just a thought. :)
So nice to see more of Clarissa. Seeing her smiling & waving instead of being camera shy. Kinsey is getting to be a good sheepdog. Does she still nip their legs?so glad Goat is getting better you can tell she is one of your favourites
Glad Goat is making positive progress. Arrg….attack of the bales. Glad you had the machine between you and them. You proved a machine is fixable ( more than once lol) great fix-up. You are not the only one who can break big things 🤪
So happy to see Goat doing better, you are an exceptional nurse! I don’t think there’s anything you can’t do, you are incredible! I so enjoy your channel, I love equipment and animals, in general, and I have learned a lot about farming and sheep from you! Have a wonderful week!💕🇨🇦
I'm so relieved and thankful that our dear Goat is better! She's a bit thin, but under Sandi's loving care is improving daily! Yaaaaaaaayyyy! Love from Virginia. ♥️♥️♥️. 🇺🇸♥️🇨🇦
I love that you show how each chore gets done...the hay just doesn't doesn't show up magically in the barn right? Lol! And love the new male/female hitch...that works like a charm!
You saved me!! I was having a frustrating, sweaty, dirty morning… came in to shower and saw that you posted!! I am just delighted to watch everything you post!! So glad Goat is better!! Much love from Tennessee USA!! 🌻
You are a great and patient teacher for Charisa with the lambs and Jesse with the farm equipment, also, I enjoy watching the farming side along with your lambs and the care you give them. Thanks for sharing your days here
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago - Love It!. I went back to your very first vlog and just finished watching them all yesterday. Thank you for allowing us all into your day-in-the-life. You have an awesome family and a community/flock on here that really appreciates you and what you all do.
I love all the farm toys you have to play with. When I had my farm I just had a 10hp Craftsman tractor with a dump wagon. I'm envious. Beautiful straw grip you got. 🇺🇸 💘 🐑.
I could watch your videos EVERY DAY! :) Love your farm, your family, your animals, seeing farm life, and how well you edit your videos. I know it takes many many hours but you're rocking it! Love from Texas!
So happy to see Goat looking more spry! She really trust you cause she could give a lot more trouble getting that probiotic down, excellent job doing so!! Look at Kinsey working those sheep!! She knows what to do, let her help you more! She can save you a lot of extra work and she wants to work! Those animals really trust and love you, can see it every video!
Dosing liquids is my most hated job. Our pastured flock has to be wormed every 6 months. Bright orange semi liquid/paste, sheep are very good at holding the goop in their throats and not swallowing it. They cough it up and sling everywhere. Stains your clothes and hands. Goat takes her meds much better.
U are so kind and compasionate towards ur animals. You could just sale them off when they get sickly like some do but you really care...that is so nice to see
What a week! Goat is looking so much better! Your border collie is growing into her job, she did a great job helping move the sheep! So glad you didn’t get injured when the straw fell, the equipment can be fixed! Congrats Clarissa - you are doing such a terrific job & should be proud of the work you’re doing! Sandy you have such a strong family, the way you all work together to accomplish all the tasks is a blessing. Praying that the rest of the harvesting goes well, especially with all the crazy rain. I live 5 miles from the south shore of Lake Ontario, between Buffalo & Rochester & watch the weather radar, we’ve don’t like leaving the horses out in bad storms. It appears your area has been getting slammed. God Bless!
The ram caught in the feeding trough looked embarrassed and ashamed of himself. Goat is looking friskier. I was driving by a house in our area and notice they now have sheep and a few days later goats and sheep. But yours look cuter. I remember when I was young we got to go visit my uncle's dairy farm every couple of years. When he ran his combine, he got grain in sacks and hay in the bales that were a whole lot smaller than yours as even as a kid, I could lift them and give them a heave ho onto the conveyor belt to take them up to the hay loft. When a cow had a calf while we were there, we couldn't watch in the barn, but he left a door open so we could watch from the outside. Years later when I was grown up, Uncle Frankie was my patient on the cardiac unit I worked as a nurse on. He never let his heart or a bull attacking him stop him. He died on the way to plow a field of a heart attack. He was such a great uncle. Visiting the farm was so educational and interesting to me. I know many would think that a farm is a 'ho-hum' kind of place but they couldn't be further from the truth.
It's funny to hear about the corn tassels because back in the day when I was a teen in Indiana (USA) most corn got de-tasseled so the different varieties wouldn't get cross pollinated. That was some serious hard work...de-tasseling. :)
Love the “I am ashamed” look the Ram gave you when you caught him in the feed bunk. That was priceless.
The precision that you drive those behemoth farm machines is amazing. Especially, in reverse. Also, how you fix them. What a lady of talents. Mechanics to vetting and husbandry. You make womanhood so proud.
I would not challenge you to an arm wrestle!! Those are some serious muscles you have, Sandi!
I was thinking the same thing!!!
Ditto ❤️
Yeah she is muscular for sure. But not overly that it takes away from her beauty
Sun’s out, guns out!
I thought that!
Thanks for including Jack in this upload. He has the ability to say "so much" without saying anything. Glad GOAT is on the mend. Kudos Sandi on your ability to fix your telehandler. Love the saying, "you break it, you fix it". Cheers to all.
YES!!! No words need come out of Jack’s mouth, love it!!
Is it just me... or is that beautiful dog herding like a champ. They grow up so fast.😘😘💚❤
I absolutely love the wagon coupling 🤯. So. Many years of hooking up OLD Way and turning air. BLUE
Your ram was so funny. He looked so embarrassed to be caught in the feed trough.
He totally did! If sheep could blush 😅
Looked like a threat to me. Mess with me lady and I will bunt you!
That’s a “sheepish” look.
You really give sheep a bad name…. Puts her head down in shame! I love it 🤣🤣🤣
Don't you have a cattle prod you can use to temper behavior???
Sandy, congratulations on Miss Goat’s recovery - I know how much she means to you. Seeing Lucy sitting in the co-pilot’s chair beside Mark was so adorable! Also, the moment when you told the ram in the feed bunk that he was giving sheep a bad name and he hung his head in shame was priceless.
Sandi, so glad you weren’t injured when those bales fell! Goats on the mend, Carissa is working more often , hay looks good… knock on wood, things like they’re going well!👍❤️
Unfortunately Goat passed on. 😔 Poor Sandi is really broken up about it.
@@lotharsoran3604 yes, i saw, I follow Sandi pretty closely. RIP Goat and little Goat ❤️❤️❤️
@@lotharsoran3604 yes, I’ve been following Sandi’s vlogs and I watched that video - so sad because she also lost her lamb too.
Love to watch Kenzie work. She is really catching on to her job.
I was coming here to say the same. Kenzie is doing so good.
I'm glad to see it because she wanted SO badly to be of use to Sandy! I always noticed her trying really hard to anticipate what she needed from her, I figured she would learn with time as she watched sandy worked and her sitter she calmed with age. She's a rock star now!
Jack's face and his socks......hilarious 🤣
While syringing goat...other sheep at the fence watching.....as you got into position straddling her, they all took off....no way do we want that.....too funny
Ohh yeah holy crap on those arm muscles woohoo. Wouldn't want to mess with you Sandy
Nice to see Kinsey helping! She's calmer too. Glad Goat is doing better 🤞
Kinsey 'wears' nicely ...be fun to see her in a wide open field 'wearing' a group of 5-6 a from point A to point B
As a non Vancouver Resident, 20k south and living here since “79, I do miss Ontario. the Barrie area(Tornado, so sad) Owen Sound Sudbury, the Su, Oshawa, and T.O. You and your Family give me a good feeling, on every episode :) Thank you!
Oh, I think we knew you were upset about that ailing sheep 🐑. I'm glad her condition is improving 😉 ♥️
I love that hitch! Wish they had been around when I used to farm. : )
I cannot convey what a relief it is that Goat is feeling better! I had to put my rabbit down, both my neighbors lost their dogs last week, a friend’s tarantula is sick, a beloved horse coliced and died…. July 2021 has been ROUGH on the critters.
I love how he ducks his head in shame when you say “Ewe give sheep a bad name.” Also glad to see that Goat is on the mend.
made me laugh!
Me too just like he knew what you were saying 🤣🤣
You're blessed to have Carissa! 🌈
I swear there are times the sheep know exactly what your saying, especially when they are in trouble. 🙃
I thought the same thing.
The way the ram ducked his head in shame when you said, "You give sheep a bad name." Adorable!!
Kenzie is loving being a part of the team! She is going to come along nicely in her training. I'm hoping you never have another "straw bale fall" ever again, but perhaps Mark can affix a cage in front of your head lamps to protect them. Goat has a great team working for her. I hope the results are good, and she is gaining and keeping weight soon. Thanks for another great video, Sandi!
Billy sniffing at the ewe on the other side of the gate was funny. Always greener
Girl, you've got muscles! There's nothing like physical labor to keep you fit.
Aww, Ram looks so ashamed of himself. Look, just sire healthy, pretty lambs & all's forgiven, k?
So happy Goat is doing better! Kinzley is doing so good at herding, such a good dog! And BTW, Jack is a cutie, I wish I had a daughter his age to introduce to him! ❤️
Oh hooray! Sunday just got that much better! Time for a cold drink and my favourite channel :)
I truthfully think this is one of the best channels on here..💚
Kinsey is getting so good with the sheep yes she still has her moments when she gets ahead of herself but she has come along way especially I don’t see you having to tie her up or putting her outside so I would say she is making a very good sheep dog and I wonder if Mark gets any good conversations out of Lucy when she is on the tractor of he is missing his human companion she is a silly dog not very good on navigating
I agree! I was thinking the same thing. She has developed into a wonderful little herder!
I was thinking the same. So nice to see how much she has learned! Good job !
Definitely when she was moving the sheep down for their lice treatment she was definitely "herding" them now. X
My thoughts exactly 💯. Kenzie has gotten mature with her skills and it really shows with the way she kept all the ewes together and stopped a few from bolting. GOOD JOB KENZIE 👏👍👌
I noticed this in this video. She really has matured into a great herder!
I love how your ram held his head in shame and the two you questioned about putting him in the feed trough both ran away . So funny ! Carissa did so well. She’ll make a good shepherd. She is so quiet and so hard working. It’s so good to see Goat on the mend xx
Your border collie is getting so good at herding, her instincts are kicking in. I'm so glad Goat is better.
Lol, you got worried about the camera in the Goat wrangling, and I thought oh no! Don’t spill the rest of the medicine!!!
So relieved it’s not Johne’s!!!! Also, love how you gave Goat a nuzzle & kiss. I’d do that too.🥰
Goat is looking so much better! She is really filling out again, great job Sandi!
Awesome video once again Sandi, thanks for including us! Glad to see that Goat is doing so much better💕
I just love your videos. Awesome family dynamics. Jack a man of little words but body language full of thoughts. I love how Kenzie is coming into her instincts she is getting better and better at her job. Kudos to all love from California
Really like the footage of Kinzie herding the sheep. She is so proud of herself, while doing it and she does a great job. I don't understand how I can love a dog so much, that I have never personally met.
So glad to see that Goat is getting better. That buck has a mind of his own lol. Sandi you are fantastic with whatever you do. God bless you from Michigan ❤
Just love your comments when you are disciplining the sheep! They look so guilty. Busted!!!😂
Kinsey is doing a great job of herding at 20:05 she has learned so much🥰😀
When the vet examined Goat was she able to tell if her babies were OK or not? Kinsey is looking great working those sheep!
Just found you channel recently and I can’t quit watching
She's the best!
Me tooo...
Its like my brain candy....
Lov it so much
Once you start your stuck. I am in lock down again so i really appreciate Sandy and all she does and with a smile.
Before you know it ..you feel like part of the family 💛🐑💛
Me too too! She definitely has my admiration! Hard work, long hours. I also love how her dog is doing her (his?) job! Good doggo!
Your sheep tickle the far outta me and I’m glad to see goat becoming herself again and I loved it when that sheep was in the feed bunk lower it’s head in shame like It did that was funny. Great video by the way have a blessed day
Your driving skills on the equipment are impressive Sandi.
Carrisa, is an amazing worker!! You are so lucky to have her! 👏
Way to go, Carissa! It’s so nice to have backup and help. It makes the jobs go so much smoother and faster. I’m really glad my sister taught me how to work with her livestock before I got my own. Most people have no idea how much “vet” work gets done by farmers. 🐑 🐑🐑
looks like your telehandler needs a roll cage for the front of it
I’m concerned that the structural integrity of the vertical back of the forks might be compromised. Please be careful!!!
😂🤣😅
Your children are little mini mes of you and Mark. That is so cool. Blessings
Way to go Carissa awsome job,happy u are working with Sandie u are so lucky to be learning and working with her. Great job 👍👍
Anyone who has a son recognizes that shrug of Jack's.
My two are now 29 & 34 & they still do the “ shrug”
I have a soon to be 21 and have been getting that shrug since he was 12ish
Glad to see that 'goat' is feeling better. I could tell she was by the way she was fighting you for the medicine. The ram made me chuckle when you told him off and he turned his head away in shame 🤣😍
Brings back childhood memories of helping to load bales.
We r experiencing a drought around Winnipeg. Farmers need feed for the winter.
If u have any extra we will take it. Keep up the good work🤗🇨🇦
"You really give everybody a bad name"...ram puts his head down in shame- hahaha. I enjoy, no love you and your videos so much.
There sure is a lot of different things that have to be done to each of the sheep…..coordinating the hay and food for them is also amazing you all are awesome …. Thanks for sharing
That kiss you gave Goat when you gave her her last dose melted my heart. The way you love your sheep is a bright spot in this world. 💕🐑
Shot through the heart and ewe to blame ewe give sheep a bad name.
I play my part and you play your game, ewe give sheep a bad name
Lmfao I love it!!! I think I was like 8 when I went to see him with my best friend and older sister who might have been 16 lol, wow the memories
💚🐑💚
I wish I could have gotten nice, big, tight bales of straw when I was doing straw bale gardening. :D
Yay! Glad Goat is on the mend. She cracks me up. I go back and watch the bucket on her head and you knocking on it! lol Did you ever name Billy's mom? If not, how about Billie Jean, in keeping up with the 'Billy' names? Just a thought. :)
So glad goat is looking better we were praying for her.
So nice to see more of Clarissa. Seeing her smiling & waving instead of being camera shy. Kinsey is getting to be a good sheepdog. Does she still nip their legs?so glad Goat is getting better you can tell she is one of your favourites
Great videos thank you saved my brain through lockdown 😊 you have such a lovely way with animals and people 🇦🇺
Glad Goat is making positive progress. Arrg….attack of the bales. Glad you had the machine between you and them. You proved a machine is fixable ( more than once lol) great fix-up. You are not the only one who can break big things 🤪
I'm So Glad Goat is doing better!!! It sure is nice to have Clairesa!! God Bless and have a Wonderful Weekend!! 😀⚘❤
Good job stacking hay! I know that's not as easy as you make it look. Glad Goat is doing better💗
Goats gaining weight, and life is good 👍💕🇺🇸
I had to chuckle when you said he was a full grown lamb and he lowered his head like I am sorry😂
So happy to see Goat doing better, you are an exceptional nurse! I don’t think there’s anything you can’t do, you are incredible! I so enjoy your channel, I love equipment and animals, in general, and I have learned a lot about farming and sheep from you! Have a wonderful week!💕🇨🇦
Go Kinsie! Go! Thank you, Sandi. I asked you to show her pushing the sheep, and you did! Loved, loved, loved seeing Kinsie working it up close. 👍😊❤✔
I'm so relieved and thankful that our dear Goat is better! She's a bit thin, but under Sandi's loving care is improving daily! Yaaaaaaaayyyy! Love from Virginia. ♥️♥️♥️. 🇺🇸♥️🇨🇦
Congratulations on hitting 330k subscribers sandy. Hope you have an amazing week
I love that you show how each chore gets done...the hay just doesn't doesn't show up magically in the barn right? Lol! And love the new male/female hitch...that works like a charm!
I had to add another comment lol I think my favorite thing is watching them in the background when you are doing something to another one :)
Way to go Karissa ! I love how you talk to your sheep as if they are all a member of your family. It shows that you care about each one.
Goat is a sweetheart I was so sad when I was listening to you explain what was going on with her.
You saved me!! I was having a frustrating, sweaty, dirty morning… came in to shower and saw that you posted!! I am just delighted to watch everything you post!! So glad Goat is better!! Much love from Tennessee USA!! 🌻
You are a great and patient teacher for Charisa with the lambs and Jesse with the farm equipment, also, I enjoy watching the farming side along with your lambs and the care you give them. Thanks for sharing your days here
I found your channel a couple of weeks ago - Love It!. I went back to your very first vlog and just finished watching them all yesterday. Thank you for allowing us all into your day-in-the-life. You have an awesome family and a community/flock on here that really appreciates you and what you all do.
I love your sayings, and hearing the sheep in the background when you're fast forwarding.
So happy Goat is feeling better and eating everything in sight! ❤️
Kinsey is doing pretty good at herding the lambs
I love all the farm toys you have to play with. When I had my farm I just had a 10hp Craftsman tractor with a dump wagon. I'm envious. Beautiful straw grip you got. 🇺🇸 💘 🐑.
I am Indonesian people, my name is Suyanto Oo, I like this video Chanel, terimakasih 👍
I could watch your videos EVERY DAY! :) Love your farm, your family, your animals, seeing farm life, and how well you edit your videos. I know it takes many many hours but you're rocking it! Love from Texas!
So happy to see Goat looking more spry! She really trust you cause she could give a lot more trouble getting that probiotic down, excellent job doing so!! Look at Kinsey working those sheep!! She knows what to do, let her help you more! She can save you a lot of extra work and she wants to work! Those animals really trust and love you, can see it every video!
Aw, it was so cute when you gave Goat kisses 💕
Carissa is doing a fine job. Is she planning to get into sheep farming? 🍁👍😎 Good harvest...fields look good Mark.
Dosing liquids is my most hated job. Our pastured flock has to be wormed every 6 months. Bright orange semi liquid/paste, sheep are very good at holding the goop in their throats and not swallowing it. They cough it up and sling everywhere. Stains your clothes and hands. Goat takes her meds much better.
I truly enjoy watching a working dog doing their job (especially when they make it look like they're playing)... great herder!
Kensey is herding like a CHAMP. Loved when you gave Goat a kiss so sweet
Carissa is a great help. I'm so happy Goat is imroving. God bless you Sandi.💖
You are so blessed to such amazing helpful kids. All kids should be raised on a farm. The learn to work hard and as a team
Kenzie is so good ! She’s doing great with. This new handling system
. She’s less nervous !
Good morning Sandi! Happy Sunday!
I absolutely love your videos. Goat looks much better. Thanks for sharing and for the update!
Here's hoping that goat continues to improve! I wish you a great day!
I have such a soft spot for the Ile de France rams. Them wrinkly noses 🥰🥰🥰
U are so kind and compasionate towards ur animals. You could just sale them off when they get sickly like some do but you really care...that is so nice to see
Im always so amazed and impressed. Everything farmers do is so HARD! You all make it look effortless but I know better. Great family of warriors
So happy to see Goat eating and feeling better! Still sending prayers and good vibes for her further recovery!
Sandi as always these videos teach us that love can heal.. I thank you and your family for all the bright uplifting videos
What a week! Goat is looking so much better! Your border collie is growing into her job, she did a great job helping move the sheep!
