Exactly...still Borns aren't just $$$ signs going in the composter. We all feel it when one wee one doesn't make it. Grieving is real! So it's really nasty n hurtful if anyone makes neg comments when we KNOW Sandy is doing everything she can to save them.😢
If I were still in school & we had to write a paper about someone I admired....it would be you. Such a beautiful lady who never quits; never stops moving, and always with a smile on your face. Your organizational skills alone would make a great book! Blessings to you and all your babies!!
I totally sympathize with the ewe with stuck lambs. I had a stuck human baby many years ago. I don’t think I hollered quite as loud as that ewe, but it was close. Baby came out via Caesarian. All was well afterwards and he is now 38 years old!
Same! I was on a pit drip for 10+ hours with no progress. Seems my son was brow presentation and ain't no way he was coming out. I had a c-section and he tipped the scale at 8lb 10oz. He's now 32yo and independent as the day he was born!
Yes, I feel for that ewe. I'm so happy Sandi was there to help her stuck lambies and that your stuck baby made it. I had one posterior for 3+ days as she slammed into my tail bone and couldn't make the turn to get out. I was miserable and she was compromised. She is 44 years old, beautiful, and I am blessed. ❤❤❤
I can literally feel the tension when first thing in the morning you know chores are waiting, you have whining bottle babies, you have mamas in distress, you have lambs that need to be put in with mama.. and it seems like a million things at once. Sandy, you are a rockstar! And so are the many other farmers that work their butts off every day to produce food for us.
@@kellyquinn1468 i DON'T EITHER, I just saw them in the background when she was helping the lamb next to them. #Sandi, can you show us those adorable little mixed colored lambs. They looked so cute, but I don't remember getting a good look at them yet. Thank you Ma'am.
The poor mom with two lambs racing each other out and causing a traffic jam. You are the best shepherdess to know your sheep and knew she needed help, just from her sounds.😻
Sandi being so calm with the lamb that wasn't breathing while I'm over here crying and having a complete meltdown. 🙄 Now I'm just embarrassed. Sandi is a life goal! ❤
Holy moly, lambing fast & furiously. I bet I'm not alone: "Come on, baby, breathe! Breathe!" Such a relief when one of those limp dishrags, shakes its little head & breathes!! Whew! 💕💕
When I saw your little Billy girl yesterday, all that came into my head was, Angel would be a lovely name for her. Your new little Ruthie is gorgeous. Your ewes are so good with you as they seem to know that you are wanting to help them
4:00 that mama lamb screaming/crying the way she was.... Made me want to cry. You could hear(!) her in pain . . . OMG 😢😢😢 Sandy you are AMAZING for helping her ❤
@@Sunfl0wer25 OMG I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW!! After all that I had so many emotions and I just wanted to take the pain from mama. I was so tense through that whole part!
Been in a very bad depressive slump lately and your videos/channel has become a real comfort. Learning the effort that goes into sheep farming has been pretty eye opening and seeing the lambs (especially their little tail wiggles when they drink) is immediate serotonin. Thank you for all you do and for sharing your work and life on youtube! One of the best rabbit holes I've accidentally stumbled down on here :)
Hi, I hope you have many brighter days. I've been there and know how depression can take a toll. You will get better and life is so worth fighting for. Merry Christmas from Sue in NB, Canada
I found Sandi in a really dark time in my life as well. At night when I couldn't sleep because of racing thoughts, I would scroll her IG going back to the beginning and I called it my counting sheep, lol. Glad you're here!!
Appreciate getting to see the reality you face when lambing! Not every one comes out rearing to go, and you truly do try as much as you can to keep them alive! Your genuine love for your sheep shines through! Much love xx
I wish the nit pickers, those who are mean and cruel to Sandi in this comment section, would go elsewhere!! Sandi is a very hard working, caring and meticulous sheep farmer. She always keeps her veterinarian in the loop, texting him photos of issues that crop up and sending lambs in necropsy, when warranted. She apparently keeps up with the prevailing, scientific data regarding her charges, even bringing in an expert in nutrition to help keep her sheep healthy, less prone to Pregnancy Toxemia. Sandi really puts herself out there so we can learn about what FARMERS ACTUALLY DO to bring food, cloth, and other items into our (mostly very urban and sheltered) lives. Please show her love, not negativity. If you have a criticism, I would suggest you attach a short summary of the research you are using to support your opinion, along with a hyperlink to the actual research article you are citing. That might actually be helpful to Sandi and the rest of us. 🤔😷🤓❤
It is nice to see that all of your mamas with lots of babies did not suffer from preg tox! Good job on managing the feed to avoid having so many issues this round. I just love seeing all those pretty babies and listening to the conversations between Mama and her little ones.
O...mg. putting the tree together in sections and doing the lighting on each section before putting it together is freaking brilliant! It's so much more logical to do it this way than to put the tree together from bottom to top and then try to string the lights from bottom to top. You need a ladder to do the top this way but Sandi's way you don't! Amazing.
I miss my family's old tree, each branch attached individually, so you could build it one layer at a time. So much nicer the just 2 sections. Even if it already has lights on it. I don't like it. I like the layers.
That poor mama ewe that had two coming out at once. No wonder she was making those ghastly noises. I missed the first two lambing episodes, but it was nice to see you having a bit more time to lavish care on the lambs. It truly showes how much you love what you do.
Yay, Brisket had her babies!! Sandi, you are so amazing! You worked so hard to save that baby. You are a force of nature, and I love watching your vlogs. 🥰( Brisket is what I've been calling the sore shoulder Mama)
Wow! What beautifully colors this lambing! Unbelievable how many each are having. It looks like lambing time is therapeutic and hectic for you at the same time. For the sales department I pray people will give you grace and understanding, knowing you are doing your very best. Thank you for all you do for so many: family, friends, lambs, neighbors, readers…. You’re a blessing to us all.
I am mostly bedbound and completely housbound (myalgic encephalomyelitis...) so your content is such a comforting thing I always look forward to. ❤ I love animals they are such sweet & interesting beings. I have to 9 year old bunnies that are still going strong.
Yes, I agree - everybody needs to see what kind of effort goes into "natural "labour & delivery" & taking that vital first breath. Definitely not all unicorns & rainbows! HARD LABOUR! 💕💕
My granddaughters are glued to the TV watching you and the lambs .everytime we watch you we all say we love your smile it makes us smile thanks sandi for being you ❤️ xx😊
Yeah, seeing Sandi's big smile, especially the first few lambings after the ewes start popping them out, brings me great happiness and I'm always grinning back at my screen in response. Her joy at the new little ones is infectious. 😄
Sheep 🐑 never cease to amaze me. 2 mom's in the pen by themselves caring for each other and their new lambs. A beautiful sight to see. Warms my heart 💗🐑💗🐑💗🐑💗
When breeding any animals for what purpose you intend for them there is always something that happens. Today I went out to do chores and found a dead baby bunny on the ground fell out of the cage. So 6 left now. We have babys born every month for our meat rabbits. Our dairy goats are at three months this month and due mid February and one on March. Farming/homesteading it's not easy it's cost a lot and is hard on all our bodies. But if you love what you do you will continue doing what you love. Thank you Sandi for sharing your daily life of sheep farmer with us all. Till next time God Bless.
Ms. Sandi. I can see with you why lambing never gets old. I grew up on a farm and understand, helping a mother animal deliver the newborn. Lanbs, dogs, cats, plus helping a friend of the family deliver a stuck calf, watching mostly with the later calf birth. Love ❤️ your videos they never get old for me. Please take care of yourself. 🙏🤗😊👍 Richard
I can’t even imagine how hard it is for you to work so hard every day! When I was a teenager I would be out in the field with my father helping the cows when needed then holding the calf in the bed of the truck to place mom and baby in the barn. I have helped many animals in labor but rarely more than 1 at a time. You are amazing! I love your channel! It brings back so many memories for me! I also find myself holding my breath as you work to save the struggling babies! You should hold your head high! You are not just helping your business you help promote others as well! Don’t forget RNR is needed for you as well!
Was holding my breath for the little one having trouble getting going , you really supported him/ her until breathing kicked in, the lambs are so beautiful ,
Oh my goodness! So many cute little faces!! Don’t know how you do it, Sandi, but I’m glad you do. Thank you for helping bring all those babies into the world! Some of them wouldn’t survive without you. ❤
The sick pen mamas co-parenting warned my heart! That was so cute! Reminds me of my sister-in-laws cats, two of them had kittens a week apart so the cats just decided to combine their liters and mom together ❤
OMGosh I couldn't believe the one ewe birthing a fourth lamb while she had three babies trying to nurse from her!! That was the first time I saw that happen and I've been watching for 5 yrs.! Amazing Vlogmas, Sandi!! Love you! ❤️ Jo
😅 Sandi I just spent a year in and out of the hospital… I contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever while working as an archaeologist just north of Houston, I contracte contracted double pneumonia with MRSA then acute metabolic encephalitis and has a hard time remembering my name, what year it was and what hospital I was in. I have been in and out of hospitals for a year now…. But one thing that I remembered well was your you tube channel and it gave me so much peace!!! I had 7.5 months where they would not let me l out of my bed. Thankfully I was realeased on Halloween and walk but with a clean Bill of health. So many hours with nothing to do!!! But I had your videos. Thank you
You're a fighter! I loved reading about archaeology as a kid & loved the anthro courses I took. Became a nurse, retired now but still curious! Best wishes💕💕
Thank you for sharing all trials of lambing For the momma that had two heads at once, you could tell she was so done and Sandy stayed with her. Sandy downplays herself, but her knowledge and experience truly shows what a capable and caring farmer she is. I keep being reminded how little about farming I know, these video’s Sandy shares helps me appreciate more the food I have.
I’m lying in bed with my back out. I am amazed as I see you climb over fences, kneel and wrestle babies out as to what a healthy body can do. Please take care of your back.
I've just spent 3 days laying in bed and hardly being able to move due to my back being out (physio appointment tomorrow). Fortunately my back is much better today, best wishes in back improvement to you.
Yeah,imagen being from a country where they barely let you sleep in bed when your back goes out. They chase you round to keep you moving. and also after it feels better they keep making you do physical therapy for like 6 weeks to prevent it happening again
My Sandi! I have no idea how you stay so calm when the lamb won’t breath. When we are lambing and we have one that won’t breath I just have a panic attack until my mom gets it to breath. And another thing I am sorry a while back I had said to try swinging the lambs. That was not ment in a bad way. Our vet is the one who showed us how to do it. But if your vet said not to then do what he said because he knows what he is doing and I have a lot to learn. You are amazing at saving lambs having patience and doing everything you possibly can.🥰🐑
Hurray the babies are coming fast and furious!! Such sweet little things. You are such a great mommy/grandma to so many!! I really appreciate you sharing your life with us. God bless you and yours!!
My heart was in my throat with that lamb that wouldn't breath. We had the same thing last year with a big triplet who was of course black and adorable. Luckily she did eventually start breathing but it was a long several minutes.
All vets do and teach what works for them which us fine. My vet not only does and teaches hanging lambs slow to respond upside down by the back legs but if that doesn't work, move hands to rear hips and gently swinging lamb back and forth or in a circle. We all do what works for us. Great job, Sandi
My goodness! What a way to start the morning. So many lambs, so little coffee for you. You certainly had your hands full. Great job well done on the rescue of that sweet lammie. Who was cutting those darned onions! Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to watch the next video!
As a woman who has given birth to a twelve pound baby naturally, I feel for these mamas! Good job with these little lambs. I love your animal husbandry.
I was holding my breath the entire time you were resuscitating that one lamb. Omg, I don’t know how you do that and are so calm. You’re such a good midwife to these mommas. ❤
Hanging a lamb upside down and swinging it to get the fluid out of its lungs has been done for years. But, you have to listen to your vet, Sandi. Seeing you work on that lamb gives a human breath holding experience, lol ❤❤
Sandi, these lambs are gorgeous! And that poor mama with the two-lane highway at the beginning….poor baby mama! She was OVER it! Glad she was medicated. Her poor hoohaa… crossing my legs in sympathy.
Thanks a bunch for leaving the tough resuscitation in, we need to be reminded they're not all easy. I am a little proud of myself as a virtual student, the exhausted ewe prompted me to think "medicam" and you said it right after. In the end, you get the credit fir being a transparent, consistent teacher 😊👍
They are all sooooo adorable! You work soooo incredibly hard to see that your ewes and lambs survive. I am constantly in awe of how hard you all work…you, Mark, Carissa…and how much you love your flock! May God continue to bless you all!
Sandi, your videos are amazing! I can believe that there is so much incoming "data" to observe and follow during lambing! Thank you for bringing us along on the journey, showing us both the good and the bad outcomes with your lambs and mamas. You work so hard! It seems that you are doing everything you possibly can to make their lives better. Sandi, please don't let the naysayers and nit pickers get you down! You put your heart and soul into these sweet animals. Thank you for all you do!
So scary with the one that wouldn’t breathe. I can’t believe you can push that hard on them and it doesn’t break something. God made them so resilient! You are amazing!!
Sandi, what a sweet compassionate midwife you are! Babies coming fast and furious, and you handle it all…you are so amazing! Your tree is beautiful! Love the one for your lambs, too! You are really someone special, Sandi….know that!! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌹🐻
What a great lambing so far. I’ve had quite a tough day today, my husband and I watched just before bed… what a joy. Thanks Sandy for sharing, all is good in the world again. ❤
I LOVE watching the lambing videos, most especially the Christmas ones. I save labelling my caramel corn bags for when I sit down and watch this!! Thanks! This has become my new Christmastime traditions. Krista
The boys were very busy this year. Many little blessings are coming in fast and furious. I have my daughter and husband's birthday day 1st and 2nd week of December. Yesterday, I started to set it up and wanted to feel the Christmas spirit early. Sandi, your worst day is someone's best. It is difficult in your nature, don't be so hard on yourself. I'd you did your best, then no one expects anything more. Your Vlogs are everything to me. Thanks for sharing!
If people don't want to see the blood and other things, then they should not watch you! This is just Mother nature!!!! I love watching you. You NEVER give up on the ewes or babies!!! You are very driven! It shows how much you care! You are a blessing to us all. You are very honest about your work and life! Tell Jess that I said hi!!
Sandi, I believe that the nutrition and pregtox supports, played big roles in the outcomes. Isn't it amazing that by changing a minor factor, can change the outcomes during lambing? Wow! And, my guess is that your stats on lambs/ewe is somewhere around 2.5 average. Keep on rockin'! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Wowzers Sandi! Talk about ending in a high note🤩 please, please, please remember to take care of yourself hun. I can only imagine how BUSY you are with lambing, holidays and Jacks birthday but remember to take note of taking care of yourself!! Nothing is possible without you and YOUR HEALTH (mentally & physically) we LOVE YOU tremendously❣️ Thank you for ALWAYS adding a smile, melatonin, joy & happiness to SO MANY~take time to breathe~ Love & respect, Nana in Utah🎄
A great start for vlogmas! Love your dedication to your beloved lambs.I was a farm girl from Lorenzen Farms in Chrisman , Illinois .My family raises chester whites and Polled herefords , they have many awards.They are diversified like your farm and have grain crops also There history is on line on how this all started after 2 brother started out after being in the armed service.Love your videos , they bring so many wonderful family memories of growing up on the farm.
8:28 oh my stars, this would destroy me. To think you do that multiple times during lambing, and over three to four lambings. I have so much respect for the efforts you put in to your flock.
My granddaughter watched this video with me. She is 4 and loves all animals. She said you're lucky to have all the sheep and all the babies. She loves your Christmas trees. She said the tree by the sheep is beautiful and Santa Claus will be bringing coats for all the babies. My granddaughter watches most of your videos with me.
I think all kids would benefit from learning where babies come from. imO, sex education is best when like my mom, she answered my questions as I had them (I was always asking "why?" Still do). I think sex education in school is too late. So many kids get disinformation from their peers or from their screens 💕💕
I am amazed by how hard you work every day. I lost a friend today. Watching you help me not feel so bad. Life is hard, just have to move ahead. Your friend Donna, from US. ❤you helped me feel a little better. Thank You Sandi.
What an amazing morning. I’m emotionally drained sitting in my living room! Lol. Hated hearing the little one crying in the pen alone and poor mama in pain! You knew just what to do, beautiful. Including the pain med. As always thanks for taking us along🩷
Each lamb is so precious. . . you never just give up without trying everything in your bag of tricks. Does it seem like such a rush of lambs in 24 hours? Wowwww. . .
Oh Sandi you are amazing. If people don’t want to see lambs being born then they shouldn’t watch for goodness sake. I don’t have time for them and neither should you. Keep up the good work 😊😊😊😊
That's what I call mass production. A lot of work Sandi, those two lambs in the same pen with a number of babies, look like they will end up feeding off both mums. Watch your back, love from Mike. ❤
Thank you so very much for sharing your lambing experinces with us. I comment very little, but it looks like today was a big, long,h and loving day for you. Please take care of your back. If you don't it will just get worse, from experience I tell you this. I'm am a retired RN, and cut a long story short I'm now suffering daily with interrupted sleep from repeated back injuries.
Me too. Many people don't realize how physically demanding nurses' work is. Especially in the bad old days w/beds you had to crank by hand & a shortage of lifts.💕💕
I’m glad that you didn’t edit out the rescue lamb part, SOME people need to see this, what it sometimes takes to get a lamb up and going. ❄️⛄️🎄💚🙃
Me, too , although I was chewing my nails wanting to reach through the screen an help out.
14:01 “whaddya got there?” and she’s like “ah, I’m not sure…”
That was a rough one. Meanwhile, look at the cutesy lamb watching with speckles on its head and black legs….so many cute lambs.
Holding a lamb struggling to find its first breath upside down is a bad idea, because the entrails are pushing against the diaphragm and the lungs.
Exactly...still Borns aren't just $$$ signs going in the composter. We all feel it when one wee one doesn't make it. Grieving is real! So it's really nasty n hurtful if anyone makes neg comments when we KNOW Sandy is doing everything she can to save them.😢
If I were still in school & we had to write a paper about someone I admired....it would be you. Such a beautiful lady who never quits; never stops moving, and always with a smile on your face. Your organizational skills alone would make a great book! Blessings to you and all your babies!!
This is so sweet.
I agree! Love this channel!
Don't we all just love this great lady!!
What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful beautiful human.💕
Well said!

My first was stuck for almost 5 hours, wouldn't wish it on anyone
My sympathies to the ewe with the stuck lambs. My son was breech & got stuck! He had to be "cut out"! 45 yrs later...
Same! I was on a pit drip for 10+ hours with no progress. Seems my son was brow presentation and ain't no way he was coming out. I had a c-section and he tipped the scale at 8lb 10oz. He's now 32yo and independent as the day he was born!

Ewes are like us mommas. Babies cry mamma & several moms respond. So adorable. Lambing season is always my favorite.
4am and Sandi is following sheep around asking if she can have their babies. 🤣 ❤️ What a couple of days you've had!
I'm sure filming, editing, and uploading, videos every day is crazy busy on top of everything else you do but, as a subscriber, I adore Vlogmas!
I wish the nit pickers, those who are mean and cruel to Sandi in this comment section, would go elsewhere!!

Lanbs, dogs, cats, plus helping a friend of the family deliver a stuck calf, watching mostly with the later calf birth. Love ❤️ your videos they never get old for me. Please take care of yourself. 🙏🤗😊👍

Me and my 7 year old daughter love watching your lambing videos. She often asks for Sandys sheeps ❤
I can’t even imagine how hard it is for you to work so hard every day! When I was a teenager I would be out in the field with my father helping the cows when needed then holding the calf in the bed of the truck to place mom and baby in the barn. I have helped many animals in labor but rarely more than 1 at a time. You are amazing! I love your channel! It brings back so many memories for me!
I also find myself holding my breath as you work to save the struggling babies! You should hold your head high! You are not just helping your business you help promote others as well! Don’t forget RNR is needed for you as well!
I lost my son on Saturday. Brain hemorrhage. Your videos, with new lambs, gave me strength to continue. So much to do. Thank you Sandi❤️
Hugs ❤️
I'm so sorry... sending hugs
Sorry for your loss
Was holding my breath for the little one having trouble getting going , you really supported him/ her until breathing kicked in, the lambs are so beautiful ,
Oh my goodness! So many cute little faces!! Don’t know how you do it, Sandi, but I’m glad you do. Thank you for helping bring all those babies into the world! Some of them wouldn’t survive without you. ❤
The sick pen mamas co-parenting warned my heart! That was so cute! Reminds me of my sister-in-laws cats, two of them had kittens a week apart so the cats just decided to combine their liters and mom together ❤
OMGosh I couldn't believe the one ewe birthing a fourth lamb while she had three babies trying to nurse from her!! That was the first time I saw that happen and I've been watching for 5 yrs.!
Amazing Vlogmas, Sandi!!
Love you! ❤️ Jo
The ewe heading into the pen with a glove in her mouth…hysterical! Looked just like a dog with it’s favorite toy! 😊❤
I kept looking trying to see what she had lol!! 😂 💜
I thought it was some kind of netting💕💕
Oh, one black and white one that I notice. The Billy girl is the mommy. Decorating the house for Christmas. Lovely tree, stocking, etc. ❤️👍
😅 Sandi I just spent a year in and out of the hospital… I contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever while working as an archaeologist just north of Houston, I contracte contracted double pneumonia with MRSA then acute metabolic encephalitis and has a hard time remembering my name, what year it was and what hospital I was in. I have been in and out of hospitals for a year now…. But one thing that I remembered well was your you tube channel and it gave me so much peace!!! I had 7.5 months where they would not let me l out of my bed. Thankfully I was realeased on Halloween and walk but with a clean Bill of health. So many hours with nothing to do!!! But I had your videos. Thank you
You're a fighter! I loved reading about archaeology as a kid & loved the anthro courses I took. Became a nurse, retired now but still curious! Best wishes💕💕
Merry Christmas, Sheila! 💝
I love the co-parenting with those two Ewes. That was the sweetest thing I've seen all day.
Thank you for sharing all trials of lambing
For the momma that had two heads at once, you could tell she was so done and Sandy stayed with her.
Sandy downplays herself, but her knowledge and experience truly shows what a capable and caring farmer she is.
I keep being reminded how little about farming I know, these video’s Sandy shares helps me appreciate more the food I have.
It's 4 am here and I'm up with the baby haha
I’m lying in bed with my back out. I am amazed as I see you climb over fences, kneel and wrestle babies out as to what a healthy body can do. Please take care of your back.
I've just spent 3 days laying in bed and hardly being able to move due to my back being out (physio appointment tomorrow). Fortunately my back is much better today, best wishes in back improvement to you.
I feel for you. I’m watching Sandy and thinking Thursday can’t come fast enough. SI shot. 🙏💕🙏💕
Last month Sandi s back went out on h we r
Yeah,imagen being from a country where they barely let you sleep in bed when your back goes out. They chase you round to keep you moving. and also after it feels better they keep making you do physical therapy for like 6 weeks to prevent it happening again
Thank you for your putting explanations on the screen. It answers a lot of my questions. 😊
So wonderful seeing Jess at Christmas with a full head of hair! Praise God that she is healed!
So many pretty lambs. Glad the little billie girl is doing amazing.
My Sandi! I have no idea how you stay so calm when the lamb won’t breath. When we are lambing and we have one that won’t breath I just have a panic attack until my mom gets it to breath.
And another thing I am sorry a while back I had said to try swinging the lambs. That was not ment in a bad way. Our vet is the one who showed us how to do it. But if your vet said not to then do what he said because he knows what he is doing and I have a lot to learn. You are amazing at saving lambs having patience and doing everything you possibly can.🥰🐑
Hurray the babies are coming fast and furious!! Such sweet little things. You are such a great mommy/grandma to so many!! I really appreciate you sharing your life with us. God bless you and yours!!
Sandi, I’m so glad you decided to vlog after the rush of lambing and didn’t try to do that all at the same time. You’ve got a lot on your plate.
My heart was in my throat with that lamb that wouldn't breath. We had the same thing last year with a big triplet who was of course black and adorable. Luckily she did eventually start breathing but it was a long several minutes.
All vets do and teach what works for them which us fine. My vet not only does and teaches hanging lambs slow to respond upside down by the back legs but if that doesn't work, move hands to rear hips and gently swinging lamb back and forth or in a circle. We all do what works for us. Great job, Sandi
My goodness! What a way to start the morning. So many lambs, so little coffee for you. You certainly had your hands full.
Great job well done on the rescue of that sweet lammie. Who was cutting those darned onions!
Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to watch the next video!
As a woman who has given birth to a twelve pound baby naturally, I feel for these mamas! Good job with these little lambs. I love your animal husbandry.
I was holding my breath the entire time you were resuscitating that one lamb. Omg, I don’t know how you do that and are so calm. You’re such a good midwife to these mommas. ❤
Hanging a lamb upside down and swinging it to get the fluid out of its lungs has been done for years. But, you have to listen to your vet, Sandi. Seeing you work on that lamb gives a human breath holding experience, lol ❤❤
I love how gentle you are with them.
❤❤ I love the maternity ward!!❤❤ Mama's helping Mama's care for the babies. Bless all you do Sandi. You're a rockstar❤❤
Oh my goodness. There is nothing cuter then a little lamb face. 🐑
Sandi! Don't forget your water sensor for under the Nanny!
Sandi, these lambs are gorgeous! And that poor mama with the two-lane highway at the beginning….poor baby mama! She was OVER it! Glad she was medicated. Her poor hoohaa… crossing my legs in sympathy.
Thanks a bunch for leaving the tough resuscitation in, we need to be reminded they're not all easy. I am a little proud of myself as a virtual student, the exhausted ewe prompted me to think "medicam" and you said it right after. In the end, you get the credit fir being a transparent, consistent teacher 😊👍
They are all sooooo adorable! You work soooo incredibly hard to see that your ewes and lambs survive. I am constantly in awe of how hard you all work…you, Mark, Carissa…and how much you love your flock! May God continue to bless you all!
Sandi, your videos are amazing! I can believe that there is so much incoming "data" to observe and follow during lambing! Thank you for bringing us along on the journey, showing us both the good and the bad outcomes with your lambs and mamas. You work so hard! It seems that you are doing everything you possibly can to make their lives better.
Sandi, please don't let the naysayers and nit pickers get you down! You put your heart and soul into these sweet animals. Thank you for all you do!
So scary with the one that wouldn’t breathe. I can’t believe you can push that hard on them and it doesn’t break something. God made them so resilient! You are amazing!!
Sandi, what a sweet compassionate midwife you are! Babies coming fast and furious, and you handle it all…you are so amazing! Your tree is beautiful! Love the one for your lambs, too! You are really someone special, Sandi….know that!! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌹🐻
What a great lambing so far. I’ve had quite a tough day today, my husband and I watched just before bed… what a joy. Thanks Sandy for sharing, all is good in the world again. ❤
"Don we now our gay apparel, fa la la la". All those beautiful handmade lambie sweaters? jerkins? Jerseys? Labours of love! Bless you, all! 💕💕
Sandi, I love to see the whole story whenever you decide to leave it in.
Your editing job is amazing!
Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎄 🎄
Tuning in all the way from Puerto Vallarta ❤ happy vlogmas everybody 🎄
¡Feli’z Navidad Puerto Vallarta!
I LOVE watching the lambing videos, most especially the Christmas ones. I save labelling my caramel corn bags for when I sit down and watch this!! Thanks! This has become my new Christmastime traditions. Krista
The boys were very busy this year. Many little blessings are coming in fast and furious. I have my daughter and husband's birthday day 1st and 2nd week of December. Yesterday, I started to set it up and wanted to feel the Christmas spirit early. Sandi, your worst day is someone's best. It is difficult in your nature, don't be so hard on yourself. I'd you did your best, then no one expects anything more. Your Vlogs are everything to me. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you showed the struggle with the lamb. ❤ it shows how hard you work with your flock. I think people forget it sometimes.
The mama in the pen behind you stood completely still, watching you work on that lamb
There are a couple that watched like that. I wonder if it is lambing tv
🤣😂🤣💖 @@karenennis6109
I think the ewes live the motto "it takes a village to rear a child". The more people/sheep loving a baby, the better! 💕💕
If people don't want to see the blood and other things, then they should not watch you! This is just Mother nature!!!! I love watching you. You NEVER give up on the ewes or babies!!! You are very driven! It shows how much you care! You are a blessing to us all. You are very honest about your work and life! Tell Jess that I said hi!!
I love how patient you are with the baby lambs having a hard start
Sandi, I believe that the nutrition and pregtox supports, played
big roles in the outcomes. Isn't it amazing that by changing a minor factor, can change the outcomes during lambing? Wow! And, my guess is that your stats on lambs/ewe is somewhere around 2.5 average. Keep on rockin'! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
Love volgmas.Sandi,your one of the most compassionate farmers,and so patient with your sheep.You have so much love to share.
Lambing always makes me happy. Plus, every lambing group, there is always that one lamb who has got to be the loudest.
Wowzers Sandi! Talk about ending in a high note🤩 please, please, please remember to take care of yourself hun. I can only imagine how BUSY you are with lambing, holidays and Jacks birthday but remember to take note of taking care of yourself!! Nothing is possible without you and YOUR HEALTH (mentally & physically) we LOVE YOU tremendously❣️ Thank you for ALWAYS adding a smile, melatonin, joy & happiness to SO MANY~take time to breathe~
Love & respect,
Nana in Utah🎄
Big relief to see that rescue lamb with its head up when you bedded them❤
Thank you for taking the time to share lambing. It looks chaotic with all lambs coming at once.
I cracked up at the mom trotting with the orange glove in her mouth. Lol
Thank you Sandi, I love spending time with you no matter what you’re doing. See you next time . ❄️⛄️🎄💚🙃
A great start for vlogmas! Love your dedication to your beloved lambs.I was a farm girl from Lorenzen Farms in Chrisman , Illinois .My family raises chester whites and Polled herefords , they have many awards.They are diversified like your farm and have grain crops also
There history is on line on how this all started after 2 brother started out after being in the armed service.Love your videos , they bring so many wonderful family memories of growing up on the farm.
8:28 oh my stars, this would destroy me. To think you do that multiple times during lambing, and over three to four lambings. I have so much respect for the efforts you put in to your flock.
My granddaughter watched this video with me. She is 4 and loves all animals. She said you're lucky to have all the sheep and all the babies. She loves your Christmas trees. She said the tree by the sheep is beautiful and Santa Claus will be bringing coats for all the babies. My granddaughter watches most of your videos with me.
I think all kids would benefit from learning where babies come from. imO, sex education is best when like my mom, she answered my questions as I had them (I was always asking "why?" Still do). I think sex education in school is too late. So many kids get disinformation from their peers or from their screens 💕💕
You never cease to amaze me. The hardest working woman I have seen. Last week I received my green yarn. Couldn't be happier.
I am amazed by how hard you work every day. I lost a friend today. Watching you help me not feel so bad. Life is hard, just have to move ahead. Your friend Donna, from US. ❤you helped me feel a little better. Thank You Sandi.
That first mama was determined to push those lambs out despite the problems!
Good job, Sandi! Great video! ❤
What an amazing morning. I’m emotionally drained sitting in my living room! Lol. Hated hearing the little one crying in the pen alone and poor mama in pain! You knew just what to do, beautiful. Including the pain med. As always thanks for taking us along🩷
Each lamb is so precious. . . you never just give up without trying everything in your bag of tricks.
Does it seem like such a rush of lambs in 24 hours? Wowwww. . .
I miss you telling the newborns welcome to the world. Lambing is the best time. I love all the sheepies but I love the lambies the most ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Babies!!! Babies!!!! Babies everywhere!!!! Love when you talk to them!!!
Oh Sandi you are amazing. If people don’t want to see lambs being born then they shouldn’t watch for goodness sake. I don’t have time for them and neither should you. Keep up the good work 😊😊😊😊
That's what I call mass production. A lot of work Sandi, those two lambs in the same pen with a number of babies, look like they will end up feeding off both mums.
Watch your back, love from Mike. ❤
Thank you so very much for sharing your lambing experinces with us. I comment very little, but it looks like today was a big, long,h and loving day for you. Please take care of your back. If you don't it will just get worse, from experience I tell you this. I'm am a retired RN, and cut a long story short I'm now suffering daily with interrupted sleep from repeated back injuries.
Me too. Many people don't realize how physically demanding nurses' work is. Especially in the bad old days w/beds you had to crank by hand & a shortage of lifts.💕💕
