Hey YT fam! Love all the beautiful comments on this video. Thank ya'll so much for joining us in bringing these new babies into the world! Just wanted to answer a couple comments I'm seeing repeated.😊 1. Do you think Naomi will adopt Sarah? A. We tried several times to get Naomi to accept Sarah. Video timestamp: 43:50. As sweet & nurturing as she is...she knew it wasn't her baby and would not accept her. We did not try anything of the "tips" that have been suggested to get her to adopt her. We did try though to put them together & Naomi wasn't having it, unfortunately. 2. Will the other sheep accept Sarah once she's reunited into the flock? A. Yes, they will. It will be no different than if we bought other sheep to add to our flock. We plan to take Sarah with us each morning when we feed the sheep so she can have some play time with the other lambs. We took her up there this afternoon & she didn't even try to go for Esther or Naomi...she thinks I'm her mom now.🤣 She was solely focused on the lambs & playing...she even ventured over to the fence to greet Samson. 3. Can't you just keep Esther as a pet? A. No. Animal feed is not cheap & it's a big responsibility to tend to the livestock that we have, we can't afford to have animals that don't give back to the cause of our homestead. Having a sheep like Esther will be nothing but a headache for us in the future. If we can't sell her, Joe will be making some homemade dog food for our pups. She won't go to waste.🙂 4. Consider getting a jacket for Sarah to keep her warm in your house. A. Our cabin is tiny with a huge wood stove and typically anywhere between 78-82 degrees. She's a wool sheep and while small now, she still has a thick coat of wool. She's hot in here lol...Her favorite place to nap is in the bathroom because it's in the back of the cabin...cooler, darker and secluded. No jacket for the baby lamb!🤣 5. Will Samson mate with the new lambs when they're ready to breed? A. Yes. Inbreeding sheep or not is a matter of opinion. Joe & I have done our research and don't have any concerns with this. Our goal is to have a few good dairy ewes. We now have Naomi, Sarah & Ruth (possibly Elizabeth) as milkers. 3 good dairy ewes is perfect for our small family. The other lambs from here on out will be raised for meat. Samson won't be mating generation after generation. He'll be breeding the same ewes each year...2 of them are his daughters.🙂 P.S. Sarah is a rockstar and sleeping through the night (thank God!) She eats 4 times a day...sucking those bottles down like a champ. No doubt with all this love and touch...she'll be an awesome dairy ewe for our homestead.🥰 Thanks for watching & commenting, cheers! 😘
When you are needing a new Ram- finding a bottle fed male would be a sweeter natured Ram. Maybe just watch your back during breeding season. Just a thought for you. 💜
OUT DEAR FRIENDS THEIR SHEEP WINNIE HAD 6 BABIES FIRST BORN DEAD AND HAD 5 BEAUTIFUL LAMBS WINNIE IS STILL FEEDING 4 AND THE FAMILY IS BOTTLE FEEDING 1 THIS WEEK THEY ARE NOW ONE MONTH SO MOMMY DID AWSOME ISNT NATURE JUST AWSOME
Tina,Joe&Parker. You already know how much we love love all of you're videos. Let us tell you, this one is off the charts, so beautiful, God's creation is absolutely amazing, perfect. Fantastic filming and editing. Great job Dr.Pol Joe! Alan&Maria
Aw thank you sooooo much! I got a new camera with an amazing lense that picks up the stars…I’m going to have so much fun with it…waiting for the Northern Lights!😊
Tina, You Truly are a Queen Mother : ) I Love how Nurturing & Loving You ARE ...to your Family & to the precious little Lambs : ) NOTHING CUTER than the little Lamb wearing a Diaper and frolicking through your house with Parker : ) SO SWEET !!
Tina your videos keep getting better. This was a beautiful one. I really enjoyed seeing the lambs being birthed and Parker is and amazing young man. So gentle and caring. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Blessings and prayers.
It is so sweet to see the dogs and the cats getting along with Sarah. She loves Parker! Yup, Tina, back to changing diapers and wiping a little butt! 😅😅😅 God loves you!!!
Omgoodness!!! ❤. Ruth, Peter and Elizabeth! What great mammas. I’m mean I almost smothered myself watching as I held my breath during birth!! I’m so glad Parker made it home. Lol Bradley and Gunner looked like the concerned uncles waiting outside the to hear the good news! ❤. What a beautiful day! Congratulations!! Now Parker will have such a great experience bottle feeding! Good luck with the baby! I will say prayers for sweet Sarah!! ❤. It will be just fine. You will give her all the love and cuddles she needs! Congratulations again!
Congrats on 4 beautiful lambs!! Bradley and Gunner sat at the fence like expectant Dad’s in the waiting room of days gone by. They just wanted to see those babies. LOL. Parker seems to have really taken to Sarah and she to him. Maybe she can do a little goat yoga with Joe. Thanks for taking us along! Love you guys!
Thank you for showing us this beautiful blessing. It's been years since I've witnessed the birth of a farm animal. It's so exciting. Even the puppies watched everything going on. Parker has a sweet soul. You're all a wonderful family. Take care. God bless.
Thank you, Parker. I was one of the viewers who suggested the name Ruth for Naomi’s daughter. In the bible Ruth is portrayed as a symbol of devotion. Your little Ruth will be such a blessing to your family. BTW, I’m a human twin!😍🇨🇦
I just thought about something. Jesus knew that after having someone to play with for the last year, little Parker would need a friend. Even though it might have been challenging for you in having to be up at night with the lamb, i can't help but believe that Jesus did this for Parker.
Hi Tina, we live on a sheep station in New Zealand and lambing is a busy, exhausting time. You could grow spuds on my kitchen floor and you really don't need to justify why your floor gets dirty. It's a home full of love and life, bring on the dirt, makes me feel much better when I have animal messes to clean up. You owe no one any explanation. Keep being you, this is life last time I looked. God bless Pauline and Terry
Beautiful video! I wanted to comment about every single marvelous thing but, there isn’t room. I’ll narrow it down to two: 1) you and Joe handled the births so perfectly! 2) The dogs were almost the stars…what troopers. Their expressions were so much fun to watch 3) ok, had to add one more. Parker’s love of all God’s creatures is so compelling and pure. 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Tina, this is one of the most precious videos you could show us. Thanks very much. Bless you for taking such good care for little Sara. Remember that Sara was Abrahams wife.
Naomi and her babies are so cute - and what a great mamma! Ester had a hard time - glad she is taking care of Elizabeth... I felt so bad for Sara - But, thank you for taking her in and bottle feeding her. All of the babies are so darn cute! Thank you for sharing this experience - Much Love to all of you -
Oh Tina! That was amazing! You captured so many amazing pictures. It's so sad that little Sarah isn't accepted by momma. But she just might become one of the greatest lambs you ever get. She will be loving, that's for sure. I hope she will love all her babies as you all love her. Parker, I love watching you play with Sarah. She sure lives you, little buddy. Congratulations on all the babies! I'm looking forward to watching them grow alongside you. Take care, Watson family. Joe, love the chicken tractor! Parker, you are such a sweet young man, and i love how you, and friend. May the Lord bless you all. Bonney
Thank you so much Bonnie!! It was an awesome experience. It’s exciting to know that we’re growing our little homestead. This is what we came here to do. One building, one animal at a time!😊 P.S. That thing we were talking about in the email…I changed my mind. When we finally get the pantry done & get everything organized in there, I’ll reach out to you to schedule!☺️
Babies! How exciting. Joe did an awesome job helping baby Elisabeth come into the world 😊 Parker looks like he is enjoying Sarah, bless her heart. Love how the dogs were waiting to see the babies.
I was fine with the birthing and the babies, BUT the rejection of that little one was too much to handle. Why would an animal mother do that? There was nothing wrong with the baby. It truly broke my heart. So sad. Thank God He put it into yall's hearts to take care and love that little lamb. Well, I'm slowly doing better. Parker is doing great with her, and so is Joe and you, Tina.
Yes, it was extremely hard to watch. I’m sooo grateful we went out one last time to check on them before bed because she probably wouldn’t have made it through the night.🫶🏻
How cute these little ones are 🐑🐑🐑🐑 And you as a family are so affectionate and emotional, they were born in the right place Thank you for sharing and the joy you give us viewers 💗💗💗💗 Tina and Joe do you agree to adopt me? lol 😁
Yes, technically I have many jobs!🤣 I just meant a 9-5 that would keep me away from the house. SO grateful I get to be home now with what matters most to me.🫶🏻
Another great episode.🕊 I want you all to know how much motivation I find watching your channel. I'm a young single Christian man and doing my best to EXIT California. I work 60 hour weeks: 40 as a metal worker, 20 as a cook for a local restaurant. When I feel discouraged, God works through your videos to inspire me to keep working hard so I can some day have a nice piece of land far from chaos and in nature. From the bottom to top of my heart, thank you for sharing you life so others can find joy in these dark days.💚 Also, JOE you are the man. You rock brother. Sincerely, Travis🇺🇸
Travis! You can do it! Keep your eye on the prize. I can relate to all that you said, even CA! I’m from CA! (Tina). Thanks so much for your support of our channel, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Wishing you the best in your plan to escape the rat race!❤️❤️
I think this is my all-time favorite video! Every emotion under the sun has been experienced, but in the end, little Sarah is happy being with her human family. It is so cute watching Parker and Sarah playing, but the sweetest thing was Parker watching TV while a very sleepy, calm, and relaxed Sarah was laying half on his lap. I will be watching this one again and again. Thank you to you all for all the love, care, devotion, and compassion you have for all your animals. Bradley and Gunner have always been my fave and still are. They were so adorable sitting and waiting for the birth and to see the new arrivals. May God continue to Bless and Protect you all!
Tina, Joe, Parker! Wow! I cried, I loved. I aww’ed! What a great video. Wow just opens your eyes to all of Gods creations and majesty! Wow!! ❤😭😊😳😔 such emotion in this one!!! ❤❤
Hello from central florida... I watch a sheep program by Sandi Brock. She raises sheep, and her husband raises grains etc. Anyway Her name is SANDI BROCK. You will LOVE her. She now delivering/birthing spring lambing now. She shows how she keeps those abandoned babies, tiny babies that are cold+ and can not suck. She gets them going, Anyway, you will LOVE her. please look her up.
Sooooo cute to see how sweet Parker takes care after Sarah and she loves to be around him. THANK GOD you and Joe know exactly what to do to make it work. Sarah is a lovely girl. 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing the sheeps birth process. Thank you for your interest and care. Regarding a mother sheep reject its baby? If a person picking up a lamb too soon, which can change its smell and cause the mom to not recognize it
Glad the babies are all healthy and running around. Love how even when newly born, those little tails are wiggling away….so cute💕 Really enjoyed the birthday video….too bad Esther rejected Sarah…..nature is so strange sometimes….if only they could tell us why they do some of the strange things they do. You and Joe are great at handling all this💕
What a GREAT video!! Joe amazes me more with each video. He doesn't have to talk much to see his talents. Birthing that lamb made me love him more. y showed my husband Joes meat bird tractor he was impressed also. Ours is very heavy. He will be trying to duplicate Joes PVC tractor for our meat birds this spring. Bradley and Gunner are so sweet. The footage and narration of them awaiting the births cracked me up. Your b-roll and the night sky shots are so good!. I think God meant for lil Sarah to be in the house with you guys. She has a special friend in Parker. I'm with you it is so confusing to see Naomi treat one lamb each birth that way. As sweet as she is i agree she needs to go. Lil Easter has come a long way and is a wonderful lil Momma. So happy to see the channel hit 100K. It is very deserving. You really do high quality videos. SO very creative. I don't know how you do it each week but you do it very well. I watch thousands of UA-cam channels you guys hare hands down my favorite. Keep up the great work Signed Tina from Tennessee Ps. sorry for the long comments just so many compliments i felt i need to say about this one. I'll try to do better in the future LOL
So sweet to have baby animals. I’m glad Sarah wasn’t a male. I can’t imagine butchering a bottle fed/house (even for awhile) pet. I cried when my son raised his first FFA lamb (Darlene) and he sold her after all the shows he went to with her……but then again, we named our chickens and turkeys. They become part of the family.
Yeah, new babies ! ❤ Thank you for sharing this special video... it was so Amazing !! I feel like I experienced it all with you guys, and I love the little one that you are bottle feeding and playing with... Your Family is such a Blessing ❤❤❤
This was the most beautiful naturally occurring thing I’ve ever seen and thank you for sharing this experience with us. I’m so happy that all the babies are doing well!!! Much love and prayers to you all 🙏🙏❤️❤️
You know you can keep Esther just spay her, still give her a home, I mean it's just to throw her out when she likes her home, like you said... Their like foster kids, why put her in a new environment
Hi Jeremy. These sheep are not pets. They’re livestock & we got them for the purpose of dairy & meat. Feed is expensive & our time is valuable. We don’t keep animals on the homestead that don’t give back. I know a lot of people can’t understand this. But if we kept every animal, we’d end up with a zoo.🫶🏻
God bless you both. Wish I had, had parents like you. Though I'm 65 y'all make me feel like a kid. Thanks a thousand for such a beautiful Saturday morning wake up. Parker you lucky sweet boy good luck with your flock. You make a wonderful shepard.❤❤🐏🐑🐑🐑🐑 PS The dogs crack me up, the midwives!!!
Obviously I posted before I got to the part about trying to put in with Niaomi. So glad to know you have the replacer. Sarah and all the other babies are too cute. Making me want some goats or sheep now too. Keep up the awesome work!
Couldn’t you try to put Sara in with Naomi and her two babies, maybe she would take on Sara as her own?? Couldn’t hurt to try ❤ Well at least you tried!! Poor Sara ❤️
So cute!!! I would keep the little black one for breeding, providing he doesn’t give you much trouble as he grows up Another reason why Esther probably refused Sarah is maybe she only had enough milk for one lamb, I have heard that the mothers can tell if they can support one or all of the lambs
do you or will you give mommas warm water with molasses?? we did just water with molasses. helps to givethem engery n help with hydration after labor n birth
Great job lambing. Sheepishly Me would be a great reference for future lambings that need assistance, etc. Ester may know she doesn’t produce enough milk for 2, if you could only get a little.
Thank you. I’m sorry friend, but that’s why we raise them. Dairy & meat BUT they’ll have a beautiful life while they’re on our farm and be well loved & taken care of.❤️
This was awesome! Congratulations! I hope everything goes well these next few weeks. I’m so proud of the Watson family! 💕💕 You guys are fantastic! Praying for you, thanks so much for sharing this journey with us. Hubby and I love ya’ll so much. 🙏🙏
Usually when animals reject one of their babies is because they don't have enough milk for it. You said it yourself that you could barely get anything out of her while milking her. I guess is some kind of instinct, it's better to have a strong healthy well fed lamb then two little sick ones. I don't know exactly what happens in their mind. But I am pretty sure it's because she feels she doesn't have enough milk for the both lamb at the moment. I really don't think she is trying to be cruel. Animals rarely are...
She actually has plenty of milk. The night we tried to milk her, it was late and it had been a very stressful day for her & for us. She was kicky & shifty & wouldn’t allow me to milk her. That’s why I barely got any. Her udder is beautiful & she’s flowing with milk from both teats. Esther is not a good mother. Unfortunately.
@@HomeFreeAlaska In that case, I am really sorry for the poor lamb. But at least you get to cuddle with a cute animal :D I know I enjoyed my time nursing a kitten. I know this is different, but the cuteness levels are still very high.
Believe in Yeshua, He is the only begotten Son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He took God's wrath upon Himself, that was the punishment for everyone in sin. He died and rose to give you new life in Him. Born again, a new creation. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Romans 10:9 and John 3:16. Just believe, you must choose to believe and you will receive eternal life. If you still choose to not believe and you die you spend eternity in hell because you choose to not believe. Again, just choose to believe. Attend a church, read and obey all scripture. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. He alone satisfies. Seek God and see your worth how loved you are and know who He is, read scripture. 💕 We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and He paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen. Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏 Thank You Yeshua. We are to live righteous, that is doing the right thing always and living in obedience to scripture, every word of it. We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Yeshua should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Yeshua, for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖 People need to turn from their wicked ways, Yeshua paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Numbers 14 18 The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’ God has said to stop sinning. Scripture says how you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus Yeshua's name may you see and know the truth in its fullness. Yeshua is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
I loved this video. I have followed you since you sold your property in Virginia and were preparing to move to Alaska. Look forward to your weekly videos. I do follow several Utubers and find it interesting when there are animals in the mix. I recently stumbled upon The Land of Milk and Honey,a couple and their two toddlers who moved to Portugal from the Netherlands. You may be extremely busy but I hope you will check pit their QAnd A. Thanks for sharing your lives with me.
Oh Tina, I couldn’t help tearing up when Esther’s first lamb wagged her tail when she started suckling. I sure hope Sarah will thrive with the bottle feeding. It breaks my heart that she is not getting the maternal bonding that she needs from her mom but praise God that she is not hesitant to snuggle with you. I’m praying that all the babies and moms will be healthy and strong 🥹❤️🙏🏻 I am glad to hear that you will not be keeping Esther.
Do u think ester just doesn’t have enough milk for both? & if she doesn’t choose one she knows both will die ? Have u Tried rubbing Naomi’s milk on Sara’s head ?. God knew u needed a baby ❤ 😅
1 John 4:16 King James Version 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.Gods blessings over you .
Be still my heart. Precious video. I have boy, girl twins. 28 years old. God is good!! Happy ending is all that matters. I learned so much today. Thx guys for sharing and teaching. Much love and respect. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
to bad no afterburner from Naomi she needs first mommas milk with the Class strudium is very important in the first 24 hours.Which I'm sure you know.Sorry it's just the old farm girl and me.I gotta throw my two cents worth in
Tina, try milking Mama a little more. After feeding the lamb, don't wipe it's mouth. Take it right out to Mama and put it up near Esther's face so she can smell it. If she smells her milk on the baby, she may accept it. This may take a few times. ❤ Vicki..
I was wondering if she produces anough milk for 2. Like for instance the other one does not take a 3rd because she would look after her own 2 first. Then again some just does this. But mostly we could pair them with others. We had goats, sheep and cattle. Buy the way in Africa the smells are important. A lot. Wr use to wipe the mom with a towel and wipe the baby with it. Works on horses also.
Dear Watsons, Congratulations, beautiful new baby lambs!!!! I'm excited about all of the "new spring lambs" and how you introduce your dogs to the lambs is precious and helpful. All part of the family! Best of Luck!
Our ram and buck goat would spar through the chainlink fence and the ram permanently damaged the fence. He also impaled himself on a piece of rebar that the previous owners had put through the fence for added support. I saw you did similar. Be careful. We lost our ramfrom that he hit an artery. Been bottle feeding four goat kids here for the last month. We have bad mothers here and outsourced some new bucklings for a change in genetics. We gave up on sheep after losing our ram and had an issue getting a replacement lamb ram.
Sometimes moms reject one if there is something wrong with it or if the mom doesn’t produce enough milk for both of them. The babies are so cute. Y’all are doing a great job. God Bless and have a wonderful day.
Bradley and Gunner just creak me up at the fence! It makes my heart happy that Parker has Sarah to look after. Maybe it was Gods plan 🤗 Sarah will be back with the others soon enough with no problems. Thanks for this wonderful video ☺ Blessings to you all ❤
Congratulations! All I could think about was the chapter in Luke where the Shepherds were out in the fields keeping a watch over their sheep at night because it was lambing season and they were visited by an Angel to tell them where the LAMB of GOD was sleeping in a manger. So simple, yet so profound. Thank you for sharing. BTW...I've heard of Goat yoga but it seems Joe and Sarah have a new Sheep yoga routine going on. So stinking cute❤
Hey YT fam! Love all the beautiful comments on this video. Thank ya'll so much for joining us in bringing these new babies into the world! Just wanted to answer a couple comments I'm seeing repeated.😊
1. Do you think Naomi will adopt Sarah?

Looks like Parker gained a new friend that he can’t lose
For sure!🫶🏻
Maybe God intended for the momma to reject the baby so that Parker could have that special bonding and playtime!!! So special!!! ❤❤❤
Congrats on 4 beautiful lambs!! Bradley and Gunner sat at the fence like expectant Dad’s in the waiting room of days gone by. They just wanted to see those babies. LOL. Parker seems to have really taken to Sarah and she to him. Maybe she can do a little goat yoga with Joe. Thanks for taking us along! Love you guys!

Joe is definitely one in a million. Congats on new lambs.
Yes he is, thank you!🫶🏻
Thanks again for making my weekend 😊👍 there are no words to express how exciting this was , I love all the animals, God bless you and yours 💗❤️❤️💞
Our pleasure! I’m so happy you liked it!😊
Sarah will be the most loved lamb of all times. Parker you are an awesome young man and such a blessing 😊
I just thought about something. Jesus knew that after having someone to play with for the last year, little Parker would need a friend. Even though it might have been challenging for you in having to be up at night with the lamb, i can't help but believe that Jesus did this for Parker.

Hi Tina, we live on a sheep station in New Zealand and lambing is a busy, exhausting time. You could grow spuds on my kitchen floor and you really don't need to justify why your floor gets dirty. It's a home full of love and life, bring on the dirt, makes me feel much better when I have animal messes to clean up. You owe no one any explanation. Keep being you, this is life last time I looked. God bless Pauline and Terry
Absolutely. I keep a tidy house BUT…you’re right, lambing season tends to take precedence lol especially with a bottle fed lamb.😊 “Spuds!”🤣
Beautiful video! I wanted to comment about every single marvelous thing but, there isn’t room. I’ll narrow it down to two: 1) you and Joe handled the births so perfectly! 2) The dogs were almost the stars…what troopers. Their expressions were so much fun to watch 3) ok, had to add one more. Parker’s love of all God’s creatures is so compelling and pure. 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Awwwwww! I love this. Thank you!🫶🏻
When one door closes, another one opens ! Those little babes are so precious. That little Sarah is a cuttie. Thanks for sharing !❤
even if we dont praise GOD the very Rocks will Cry out and praise HIM!!!!
That was amazing. What a good mom Naomi is. Parker running & playing with that baby lamb was just the sweetest.
Yes it was! She loves Parker, it’s so cute to watch them together!☺️
Oh my goodness! What sweet precious babies! What a wonderful experience to share with you all! Thank you
Tina, this is one of the most precious videos you could show us. Thanks very much. Bless you for taking such good care for little Sara. Remember that Sara was Abrahams wife.
Naomi and her babies are so cute - and what a great mamma! Ester had a hard time - glad she is taking care of Elizabeth... I felt so bad for Sara - But, thank you for taking her in and bottle feeding her. All of the babies are so darn cute! Thank you for sharing this experience - Much Love to all of you -
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.☺️
So adorable, love seeing those little tails wiggle so fast when they are nursing.
I loved this video of nature at work... Poor Sarah, so glad you were there to help. Awesome video today! Thanks for sharing
Oh Tina! That was amazing! You captured so many amazing pictures. It's so sad that little Sarah isn't accepted by momma. But she just might become one of the greatest lambs you ever get. She will be loving, that's for sure. I hope she will love all her babies as you all love her. Parker, I love watching you play with Sarah. She sure lives you, little buddy. Congratulations on all the babies! I'm looking forward to watching them grow alongside you. Take care, Watson family. Joe, love the chicken tractor! Parker, you are such a sweet young man, and i love how you, and friend. May the Lord bless you all. Bonney
Thank you so much Bonnie!! It was an awesome experience. It’s exciting to know that we’re growing our little homestead. This is what we came here to do. One building, one animal at a time!😊 P.S. That thing we were talking about in the email…I changed my mind. When we finally get the pantry done & get everything organized in there, I’ll reach out to you to schedule!☺️
Babies! How exciting. Joe did an awesome job helping baby Elisabeth come into the world 😊 Parker looks like he is enjoying Sarah, bless her heart. Love how the dogs were waiting to see the babies.
Thank you! 🤗
Oh boy! She did Great for a first time Mom… Way to go Joe. Great job Tina with your help and loving spirit…
She sure did! So proud of her!❤️❤️
Parker has a true friend following him and playing with him! So very sweet! Little Sarah will love him forever! ❤️💙
Yes! They’re joined at the hips!☺️
I was fine with the birthing and the babies, BUT the rejection of that little one was too much to handle. Why would an animal mother do that? There was nothing wrong with the baby. It truly broke my heart. So sad. Thank God He put it into yall's hearts to take care and love that little lamb. Well, I'm slowly doing better. Parker is doing great with her, and so is Joe and you, Tina.
Yes, it was extremely hard to watch. I’m sooo grateful we went out one last time to check on them before bed because she probably wouldn’t have made it through the night.🫶🏻
Wonderful to see how caring and nurturing you all are for these animals. Thank you for sharing your latest adventure.
Our pleasure! Thanks for joining us!☺️
How cute these little ones are 🐑🐑🐑🐑
And you as a family are so affectionate and emotional, they were born in the right place
Thank you for sharing and the joy you give us viewers 💗💗💗💗
Tina and Joe do you agree to adopt me? lol 😁
Haha thanks friend!🫶🏻
girl... you do have a job!! You are great!
Yes, technically I have many jobs!🤣 I just meant a 9-5 that would keep me away from the house. SO grateful I get to be home now with what matters most to me.🫶🏻
Another great episode.🕊
I want you all to know how much motivation I find watching your channel. I'm a young single Christian man and doing my best to EXIT California. I work 60 hour weeks: 40 as a metal worker, 20 as a cook for a local restaurant. When I feel discouraged, God works through your videos to inspire me to keep working hard so I can some day have a nice piece of land far from chaos and in nature.
From the bottom to top of my heart, thank you for sharing you life so others can find joy in these dark days.💚
Also, JOE you are the man. You rock brother.
Sincerely,
Travis🇺🇸
I don't blame you! I left California 28 years ago and don't regret it. Been here in texas and love it.
Travis! You can do it! Keep your eye on the prize. I can relate to all that you said, even CA! I’m from CA! (Tina). Thanks so much for your support of our channel, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Wishing you the best in your plan to escape the rat race!❤️❤️
Travis you took the words out of my mouth!
I L❤️VE your musical choices!!! 🥰🙏❤️🙏🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank YOU!😊
Shame esta not good mom for two lambs better on a farm that is set up for orphan lambs x then she can live on please don’t eat just yet
I think this is my all-time favorite video! Every emotion under the sun has been experienced, but in the end, little Sarah is happy being with her human family. It is so cute watching Parker and Sarah playing, but the sweetest thing was Parker watching TV while a very sleepy, calm, and relaxed Sarah was laying half on his lap. I will be watching this one again and again. Thank you to you all for all the love, care, devotion, and compassion you have for all your animals. Bradley and Gunner have always been my fave and still are. They were so adorable sitting and waiting for the birth and to see the new arrivals. May God continue to Bless and Protect you all!
Thank you!!❤️❤️
Bradly and Gunner are seriously the coolest dogs.
Aren’t they?!🤣
Tina, Joe, Parker! Wow! I cried, I loved. I aww’ed! What a great video. Wow just opens your eyes to all of Gods creations and majesty! Wow!! ❤😭😊😳😔 such emotion in this one!!! ❤❤
Hello from central florida... I watch a sheep program by Sandi Brock. She raises sheep, and her husband raises grains etc. Anyway Her name is SANDI BROCK. You will LOVE her. She now delivering/birthing spring lambing now. She shows how she keeps those abandoned babies, tiny babies that are cold+ and can not suck. She gets them going, Anyway, you will LOVE her. please look her up.
I have most likely watched her! Thank you for the recommendation! 😊
Thank you - so much - such a nice happening to witness in this world 🖤🤍🖤🤍 🐑 ✝️💜 We are the sheep of Gods Pasture
Sooooo cute to see how sweet Parker takes care after Sarah and she loves to be around him. THANK GOD you and Joe know exactly what to do to make it work. Sarah is a lovely girl. 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I'm Elizabeth and my daughter is Sarah! 👍 to Parker ❤
Thank you for sharing the sheeps birth process. Thank you for your interest and care.
Regarding a mother sheep reject its baby?
If a person picking up a lamb too soon, which can change its smell and cause the mom to not recognize it
Oh my goodness great video! So precious!! ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Glad the babies are all healthy and running around. Love how even when newly born, those little tails are wiggling away….so cute💕 Really enjoyed the birthday video….too bad Esther rejected Sarah…..nature is so strange sometimes….if only they could tell us why they do some of the strange things they do. You and Joe are great at handling all this💕
What a GREAT video!! Joe amazes me more with each video. He doesn't have to talk much to see his talents. Birthing that lamb made me love him more. y showed my husband Joes meat bird tractor he was impressed also. Ours is very heavy. He will be trying to duplicate Joes PVC tractor for our meat birds this spring. Bradley and Gunner are so sweet. The footage and narration of them awaiting the births cracked me up. Your b-roll and the night sky shots are so good!. I think God meant for lil Sarah to be in the house with you guys. She has a special friend in Parker. I'm with you it is so confusing to see Naomi treat one lamb each birth that way. As sweet as she is i agree she needs to go. Lil Easter has come a long way and is a wonderful lil Momma. So happy to see the channel hit 100K. It is very deserving. You really do high quality videos. SO very creative. I don't know how you do it each week but you do it very well. I watch thousands of UA-cam channels you guys hare hands down my favorite. Keep up the great work Signed Tina from Tennessee Ps. sorry for the long comments just so many compliments i felt i need to say about this one. I'll try to do better in the future LOL
Aw I love this comment! I read it aloud to the family. So sweet. Thank you so very much!🫶🏻
You said exactly what so many of us want to say!
So sweet to have baby animals. I’m glad Sarah wasn’t a male. I can’t imagine butchering a bottle fed/house (even for awhile) pet. I cried when my son raised his first FFA lamb (Darlene) and he sold her after all the shows he went to with her……but then again, we named our chickens and turkeys. They become part of the family.
Yeah, new babies ! ❤ Thank you for sharing this special video... it was so Amazing !! I feel like I experienced it all with you guys, and I love the little one that you are bottle feeding and playing with... Your Family is such a Blessing ❤❤❤
Thank you!😊
This was the most beautiful naturally occurring thing I’ve ever seen and thank you for sharing this experience with us. I’m so happy that all the babies are doing well!!! Much love and prayers to you all 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Our pleasure!❤️
That was all so adorable!
Thank you!😊
You know you can keep Esther just spay her, still give her a home, I mean it's just to throw her out when she likes her home, like you said... Their like foster kids, why put her in a new environment
Hi Jeremy. These sheep are not pets. They’re livestock & we got them for the purpose of dairy & meat. Feed is expensive & our time is valuable. We don’t keep animals on the homestead that don’t give back. I know a lot of people can’t understand this. But if we kept every animal, we’d end up with a zoo.🫶🏻
God bless you both. Wish I had, had parents like you. Though I'm 65 y'all make me feel like a kid. Thanks a thousand for such a beautiful Saturday morning wake up. Parker you lucky sweet boy good luck with your flock. You make a wonderful shepard.❤❤🐏🐑🐑🐑🐑 PS The dogs crack me up, the midwives!!!
Could Sarah be put in with Naomi and see if Naomi would accept her?
Obviously I posted before I got to the part about trying to put in with Niaomi. So glad to know you have the replacer. Sarah and all the other babies are too cute. Making me want some goats or sheep now too. Keep up the awesome work!
No worries! All is going well. Thanks for your comment!☺️
Couldn’t you try to put Sara in with Naomi and her two babies, maybe she would take on Sara as her own?? Couldn’t hurt to try ❤
Well at least you tried!! Poor Sara ❤️
So cute!!!
I would keep the little black one for breeding, providing he doesn’t give you much trouble as he grows up
Another reason why Esther probably refused Sarah is maybe she only had enough milk for one lamb, I have heard that the mothers can tell if they can support one or all of the lambs
do you or will you give mommas warm water with molasses?? we did just water with molasses. helps to givethem engery n help with hydration after labor n birth
Gunner and Bradley were so patient and oh so cute watching the whole process. Congratulations on your four new lambs.
Thank you!😊
God is so amazing. Thank you for sharing with us. Precious lambs.
Great job lambing. Sheepishly Me would be a great reference for future lambings that need assistance, etc. Ester may know she doesn’t produce enough milk for 2, if you could only get a little.
Loved watching y'all's videos, I'm a new subscriber, Love y'all's Family 🙏❤️
Thanks for subbing!😊
UR WELCOME 🤗🥰
Beautiful Tina love the little lambs.please don't eat them😢
Thank you. I’m sorry friend, but that’s why we raise them. Dairy & meat BUT they’ll have a beautiful life while they’re on our farm and be well loved & taken care of.❤️
Such a special addition! Sara will be very attached to y’all .
It is truly amazing how quickly they start trying to walk and nursing. OK, yes...I cried too. So sweet
This was awesome! Congratulations! I hope everything goes well these next few weeks. I’m so proud of the Watson family! 💕💕 You guys are fantastic! Praying for you, thanks so much for sharing this journey with us. Hubby and I love ya’ll so much. 🙏🙏
Thank you so much!!
Hubby and I cried when Joe pulled out Esthers baby... Praise God!
Awww! So sweet. I cried too!❤️
Usually when animals reject one of their babies is because they don't have enough milk for it. You said it yourself that you could barely get anything out of her while milking her. I guess is some kind of instinct, it's better to have a strong healthy well fed lamb then two little sick ones. I don't know exactly what happens in their mind. But I am pretty sure it's because she feels she doesn't have enough milk for the both lamb at the moment. I really don't think she is trying to be cruel. Animals rarely are...
She actually has plenty of milk. The night we tried to milk her, it was late and it had been a very stressful day for her & for us. She was kicky & shifty & wouldn’t allow me to milk her. That’s why I barely got any. Her udder is beautiful & she’s flowing with milk from both teats. Esther is not a good mother. Unfortunately.
@@HomeFreeAlaska In that case, I am really sorry for the poor lamb. But at least you get to cuddle with a cute animal :D I know I enjoyed my time nursing a kitten. I know this is different, but the cuteness levels are still very high.
So sad Esther doesn't want her second baby. That's like a human not wanting their baby. I would not keep Esther😢 Carlene
Believe in Yeshua, He is the only begotten Son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He took God's wrath upon Himself, that was the punishment for everyone in sin. He died and rose to give you new life in Him. Born again, a new creation. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Romans 10:9 and John 3:16. Just believe, you must choose to believe and you will receive eternal life. If you still choose to not believe and you die you spend eternity in hell because you choose to not believe. Again, just choose to believe. Attend a church, read and obey all scripture.
Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. He alone satisfies.
Seek God and see your worth how loved you are and know who He is, read scripture. 💕
We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and He paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen. Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏 Thank You Yeshua.
We are to live righteous, that is doing the right thing always and living in obedience to scripture, every word of it.
We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Yeshua should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Yeshua, for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖
People need to turn from their wicked ways, Yeshua paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple.
He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do.
Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Numbers 14 18 The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’
God has said to stop sinning. Scripture says how you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus Yeshua's name may you see and know the truth in its fullness.
Yeshua is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
Love it such compassion you guys have ,take care 🇨🇦🥰🇨🇦
I loved this video. I have followed you since you sold your property in Virginia and were preparing to move to Alaska. Look forward to your weekly videos. I do follow several Utubers and find it interesting when there are animals in the mix. I recently stumbled upon The Land of Milk and Honey,a couple and their two toddlers who moved to Portugal from the Netherlands. You may be extremely busy but I hope you will check pit their QAnd A. Thanks for sharing your lives with me.
Oh Tina, I couldn’t help tearing up when Esther’s first lamb wagged her tail when she started suckling. I sure hope Sarah will thrive with the bottle feeding. It breaks my heart that she is not getting the maternal bonding that she needs from her mom but praise God that she is not hesitant to snuggle with you. I’m praying that all the babies and moms will be healthy and strong 🥹❤️🙏🏻 I am glad to hear that you will not be keeping Esther.
This was a beautiful video. - Love the little babies - Greeting from South Africa
Do u think ester just doesn’t have enough milk for both? & if she doesn’t choose one she knows both will die ? Have u Tried rubbing Naomi’s milk on Sara’s head ?. God knew u needed a baby ❤ 😅
1 John 4:16
King James Version
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.Gods blessings over you .
Be still my heart. Precious video. I have boy, girl twins. 28 years old. God is good!! Happy ending is all that matters. I learned so much today. Thx guys for sharing and teaching. Much love and respect. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just a thought. Is there anything Dr Joe can’t do?
HAHA!🤣
Maybe Ester somehow knows she can't produce enough milk and instinct is taking over to preserve one baby?
to bad no afterburner from Naomi she needs first mommas milk with the Class strudium is very important in the first 24 hours.Which I'm sure you know.Sorry it's just the old farm girl and me.I gotta throw my two cents worth in
Tina, try milking Mama a little more. After feeding the lamb, don't wipe it's mouth. Take it right out to Mama and put it up near Esther's face so she can smell it. If she smells her milk on the baby, she may accept it. This may take a few times. ❤ Vicki..
Tina, when you told the lamb “ we know your worth” it really touched my heart. You are a precious soul!
Thank you!❤️❤️
Tina is such an amazing mom....poor Sarah 😊P is happy to have a baby playmate sarah😅so adorable to watch
Thank you so much!❤️❤️
I was wondering if she produces anough milk for 2. Like for instance the other one does not take a 3rd because she would look after her own 2 first. Then again some just does this. But mostly we could pair them with others. We had goats, sheep and cattle. Buy the way in Africa the smells are important. A lot. Wr use to wipe the mom with a towel and wipe the baby with it. Works on horses also.
Dear Watsons, Congratulations, beautiful new baby lambs!!!!
I'm excited about all of the "new spring lambs" and how you introduce your dogs to the lambs is precious and helpful. All part of the family!
Best of Luck!
Our ram and buck goat would spar through the chainlink fence and the ram permanently damaged the fence. He also impaled himself on a piece of rebar that the previous owners had put through the fence for added support. I saw you did similar. Be careful. We lost our ramfrom that he hit an artery. Been bottle feeding four goat kids here for the last month. We have bad mothers here and outsourced some new bucklings for a change in genetics. We gave up on sheep after losing our ram and had an issue getting a replacement lamb ram.
That was beautiful
!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 🐑 🐑🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Now I am crying tears of joy. Thank God literally for Joe, doctor Joe.❤️ Beautiful lambs.
Military “VET” Joe! Sorry, big come back from Joe on the last video! Joe said it, loud and proud! 🇺🇸 humor….. I just couldn’t restrain myself!
Yo[ have a very important and bus= job. I'm a farmwife I know how it goes.
My favorite episode!!!! Such a beautiful way for Mother Nature to show us her inmense teachings.
Congratulations! They are so cute! My Mothers name is Ruth. ❤
Aw nice!😊🫶🏻
Sometimes moms reject one if there is something wrong with it or if the mom doesn’t produce enough milk for both of them. The babies are so cute. Y’all are doing a great job. God Bless and have a wonderful day.
Please, please don’t apologize for the house keeping! None of us are even looking at it!❤️😊🙏
100 mil sorry so yeah just aboutb4 oz so she's well on her way. again sorry I just want to help I'll shut up now
What a beautiful day! Congratulations! Esther and Naomi! And of course Grandparents Watson and uncle Parker! ❤❤❤❤
Bradley and Gunner just creak me up at the fence! It makes my heart happy that Parker has Sarah to look after. Maybe it was Gods plan 🤗 Sarah will be back with the others soon enough with no problems. Thanks for this wonderful video ☺ Blessings to you all ❤
Why don't you try to get other sheep to get her to adopt it..
We tried, multiple times, even showed it in the video. She would not accept her.☺️
Congratulations! All I could think about was the chapter in Luke where the Shepherds were out in the fields keeping a watch over their sheep at night because it was lambing season and they were visited by an Angel to tell them where the LAMB of GOD was sleeping in a manger. So simple, yet so profound. Thank you for sharing. BTW...I've heard of Goat yoga but it seems Joe and Sarah have a new Sheep yoga routine going on. So stinking cute❤
