Hi from Australia. I am just so pleased that there are no haters, posting about what you had to do. I love the empathy you have for your sheep. Tough decision to make and congratulations for making it.
The fact that you get so emotional over losing your sheep speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. Its the reason this is my fav sheep channel... xoxo
Whether a ewe in a farm, or a pet in the home, being responsible for the life of a creature, or its humane death, always weighs on one’s soul. Take heart you did the right thing.
Most of us happily go about buying our neatly package meat at the super market without thinking about what people like you do for us in the background . Thank you for doing the hard work for us
Good call. As much as you love them, this is a business. One of your responsibilities is to make sure nobody suffers unduly, be it the ewe or your family who support you. You handled it with compassion, kindness and humility. I am proud of your strength and humanity.
Poor lamb, when she was carefully walking around she was holding her head down with eyes upward. She looks like I feel when I am experiencing vertigo due to deniers disease. It is hard to move around and keep the world from moving around you.
Unfortunately, that is a decision that everyone who has livestock has to make, at one point or another. The fact that it is a hard decision for you to make, shows what a good heart you have. Hugs to you.
I am not a farmer but that ewe looked done...and as you are, to me, an ethical farmer I am proud you did all you could because you didn’t have to try to make her better and you managed her pain well and stopped it before she died a very poorly ewe.
I’m right with you. Raised on a farm. Small compared to all you do. And just one loss would be so hard. Hugs in the midst of these very difficult decisions
Once she got sick, I never saw true improvement in the ewe. She barely moved, and when she did, she was slow and lethargic. She never raised her head high, showed no interest in her surroundings, and her eyes held the look of suffering and pain. Sometimes, when we see a person or creature every day, our perspective is too close and we can't stand back and see the big picture. Your ewe was tired, in pain, suffering, and wearied of living. You did her a great kindness by euthanizing--literally, "easy death"--your ewe, and if she could thank you, I think she would have. You are the very best kind of farmer, Sandi. 💖
Sandi....blending your sheep with the field operations along with sharing the camera duties has lifted your UA-cam page to another level. Well done. Smart move and I get a sense that you are not feeling quite so overwhelmed with the whole thing.... 👍🏼
As a veterinary technician, part of my job is assisting in euthanasias. It's heartbreaking but knowing that they're no longer in pain and had the opportunity to pass on peacefully helps.
I remember when Ruthie had to be put down and how strong you were for doing it yourself. Although it’s a sad day you can tell that you care about each ewe so deeply and feel for them even if they don’t have names. The respect and love you have for your sheep is so beautiful and I’m just honored that you take time out of your day to share that with us. Thank you Sandi 💕💕💕
It is us, your customers, that ask you to do your job with the sheep. That includes the nice and the tough parts. So we also need to thank you for all.
As a retired nurse having to talk to families about end of life issues was always very difficult. Your head tells you one thing but your heart tells another. When two meet it’s when the kindest decisions are made. I wish you well.
One of the hardest parts of having livestock is that some get sick and have accidents and have to be put down. You made the right decision so dont feel bad.You are a conscientious farmer and a credit to your profession !
I held my old dog, who had cancer, in my arms when the vet put him to sleep. I literally saw a living, breathing (though suffering) creature become an empty shell. I knew nothing I could do would ever reverse the process. I sobbed my heart out. Of course we will be kind; we love you.
So much love and thought you put into the decision. Even us non farmers struggle when we put our pets down. I am a city girl and appreciate your choice and how you explained it. I love the little lambs but there is death too. Thanks for sharing.
She looked thinner. Of course it was the right choice. When you mentioned it I agree, she was in pain, we couldn't tell what else what going on inside. It was so kind to help the sweet girl.
Sandi, you are by far a very humane person. It is never an easy decision, but in the end no extended suffering. Big hug for you from me. Thanks again for the tag along.🐧🌹❤
Sandi - you did the right thing. There is nothing to be ashamed of or upset about. You looked after that ewe as one of your own and you gave it your all. God bless you.
It is hard to do but you can see she is in pain and suffering. Her udder looks awful. You did the right thing for her. Love how your glass frames match your shirt.
Animal husbandry definitely has days that knock the feelings down. Your sheep are a beautiful flock showing excellent care. Thank you for sharing your farm life!
RE: The sick ewe. You made the right call. There's days you have to balance sentiment with practicality. You done good--she's no longer in pain. You'll feel some for a few days tho. You're taking on her pain. We share it with you to lessen the heartache.
You did what you could for that ewe. If she won't even try to go for the bunk when her corner of it is practically empty or eat food you place right in front of her then she'll just starve slowly and that's a far worse way to go. You gave her a chance and that's really good and kind of you!
I had to make the decision on two of my precious dogs this year....always a hard call....but I truly believe that this is the final gift we can make to our animals. Blessings.
Sandi, you did the right thing. Her condition, unwillingness to be pushy at the bunk, and how her utter looked are all confirmation that this decision had to be made to relieve her suffering. Your kindness saved her from suffering. You're amazing for that. Thank you! Also, Jess has a sideway glance and smile that make me giggle every single time. I woke my kids up giggling. Imagine you and the husband made that mischief possible 😂 Love you all! Stay safe!
Just had one of our ewe lambs die, she was my favourite as I bottle raised her. I completely understand the feelings of loss and if I had done “enough”. Hugs to you, Sandy.
I am so sorry you even need to ask us to be kind. Your livestock and I trust you to do what is best. I will never judge you for having to put an animal down. Sometimes, it is the greatest display of love.
The fact that it's clear you struggle with these decisions, that you put a lot of effort into getting an animal well, and that it affects you for days before and after that decision is proof that you're a good farmer. It saddens me that these decisions need to be made but it saddened and angered me that you even had to ask for kindness in the comments. People can be so very cruel and I know that you've experienced too much of that in the comments in the past. I'm sorry. Thank you for being you and for continuing to share you life with us.
So beautifully said. I’m on vacation, camping, and binge watching Sandi’s videos ( I never tire of them ). But I came across your comment and just wanted you to know …. It was just so kind and beautiful 💗🤗💗
@@Ladywolf2263 thank you. I have made a conscious effort to speak words of encouragement in the hopes that she might read them or someone else who needs similar encouragement will. But beyond that I hope that my words might make someone think twice before writing something unkind or asking a legitimate question in an unkind way. So thank you. It's nice to know that something I wrote touched you enough that you took the time and effort to actually let me know that. Enjoy the rest of your camping trip (I'm slightly envious).
Don’t be hard on yourself. You went beyond what many would have probably done to make sure she wasn’t in pain and to try to keep her alive. You made the right decision 😘
I’m sorry you lost the sick sheep. I know you did everything you could for her. I know putting her down was very hard for you because your sheep are all like your children.😢
Thank you for being merciful. So many people in this world does not think about the animal the way you do. You got such a good heart. Oh the Instapot!!! such a lifesaver. So many things you can do with it. Did you know you can even make bread. You will have fun with it , when you have time to look up recipes on UA-cam. Blessings and safety to you and your family
A compassionate person is a kind person, you are great...you truly care more for your sheep than anyone I have seen.you are also the hardest working woman I have ever seen.... reminds me of my sister who has about 40 cattle, ,lots of chickens, dog,peacocks,ducks, cats, a few sheep, a few hogs.garden, tries to kill an elk every year , butchers and cans it, living on a very thin shoestring. She had to euthanize her mare she’d had over 37 (yes
You have done the right thing. You've tried so hard to make her better. She looked poorly and my heart goes out to you having to put her down. Love you guys xxx
Paisano's Roost Farm in Southern New Mexico: You have done everything you can for this ewe to improve her quality of life. The last act of kindness is always the hardest one on the human side of the equation. I had to put down my favorite ewe back in Feb. A whole chain of weather and lambing complications set the situation in motion. I spent the last few minutes with her. I told her that I loved her and her sons would stay in our flock. 😥 Now for a bit of a laugh: I was feeding our rams and Drake, our mouflon ram of undetermined age; escaped up the sheep chute in search of screwbean mesquite seeds. He has a screwbean mesquite addiction. I had to pick up some pods and tap him on his tailbone to move him back to the ram pasture. After the third tap, he swings his head around as if to say "Ok , I'm going." 😏 I looked at him "Go back into the pasture, Drake." Part of our rams are voice trained which makes it easy to work with them. 🤗 *hugs*
glad you came to that conclusion , she looked like she might be depressed and suffering, you and her both fought a good fight, she is with the goat lovers in the sky
When you started talking early in the video about how she was doing, I literally said aloud, "I think she's a goner Sandi." You did everything you could do and then some to save her. I know you know even better than me how much it sucks to have to euthanize an animal, but i had to make that decision with my most beloved dog Chase in December and wept for days. hugs
aw bless you, sweetheart. Of course it's a hard call. You have to in the end do what's right for the animal, even if it causes you distress. I think it's a wise call.
On Friday my husband & I had to make the decision to euthanize a pony we’ve had for 20 years. He sustained a lower back injury 4 years ago, we tried to keep him comfortable, we had used different treatments to see if we could help him in his senior years, he was 27. This week he went off his grain, ponies never go off grain if given the opportunity have it! He stopped eating hay and drinking water. I have complete and total empathy and sympathy for your loss. We are now down to one mare, the daughter of the mare ( who passed 4 yrs ago at the age of 28) seen in my picture. We do have a boarder so Nessa June is not alone. There are times these decisions have to be made, they are never easy, but we gave it our all & know it was time. Sorry for your loss, you had no other choice. Our animals are at peace. God Bless
Good afternoon in central Pennsylvania. I am so sorry you had to put down the ewe. It is a way better choice than making her suffer. You are doing a great job! You love your animals and take care of them wonderfully. ❤&🙏
Sometimes 🐑 the humane thing is also the most heartbreaking 💔 we all have had pets or farm animals that needed peace... Grant yourself some GRACE...❤️💜❤️ You’re a compassionate human In a world of cruelty 🧡💚❤️🧡💚❤️
Gangrene is just one of those lethal things, sadly. And it is an AWFUL way to go. You did the best thing for her. You ended her suffering in a gentle and quick way after doing all you could for her. It isn't easy, but sometimes it is what we have to do. *hugs*
My kids always loved crockpot meals. I worked while they were at school. So coming home to a meal was a blessing to both of us. Ranch seasoning on chicken was always a hit. Onion soup, beef stroganoff, stew's.
Sandi, it's so nice to have a visit with you and your family. So sorry about your ewe; life is hard at times. Hugs dear one. You are having a lovely fall. It is winter in Alaska.😆 God bless the Brooks!❤
Stay strong Sandi, coming from a farm I know how hard some decisions are in managing the wealth fare of the animals! You are so compassionate. Thanks for sharing the real world of farming.
Wow, doesn’t seem like a year since the roof blew off, where’d that time go? You’re life is so full on. You’re a good woman Sandi Brock, thanks for sharing this with us all.💜
You have a soft heart but know that that ewe is out of pain. I love the fact you love all of your family ❤️❤️ stay safe and healthy! This old lady from South Carolina. ❤️❤️👵❤️❤️🐑🐏
So sorry about the ewe. You did everything, Sandy, and no one can say you didn't. You are an absolute wonder with all you do and still have that beautiful smile. Bless you. Jess is so funny without even trying. Always dancing and smiling. Cannot wait for the babies again.
It is always hard to be the one who makes the call to take a life. Some would say, "It's just an animal." or "It's a life! How dare you!" My opinion is that if you do what is right for the animal YOU are a good person! You love your animals: that is obvious. Thank You for the time you put in to share with us.
Sandi, i feel ur pain. U have a big heart and i love that about u. U r very sensitive. U raise sheep for business purposes, but u still care about them, and work hard to give them a healthy life while they r here. It was a hard decision, but u made the right one.
Anyone who has seen you with your sheepies knows how much you love them. And seeing the tears in your eyes... I am so sorry. You were very kind and loving to that sweet momma sheep, you poured into her all you could. Putting her down was the best thing you could do. Big love, Sandi!
My husband who was a cabinet maker...always said when making a tough decision was ''to keep your wood as long as you can, for as long as you can''...don't make it in haste...and you didn't...you left it until the decision was made for you...a hard one, but necessary...love you Sandi and family and crew
It's time to give her the best act of kindness that you can give her. It's never easy to make the call. You have done everything possible to help her we all know that. Hugs to you for comfort.
The highs and lows of animal husbandry. You gave that ewe lots of love and care, but her life was, unfortunately, never going be positive for the farm/flock. It takes a strength to make & act on these decisions. Big hugs from a former livestock manager.
You gave her freedom from the pain and the struggle. It is hard to do with any animal but it is merciful and necessary at times. Big Hugs to you for having the courage and compassion to do what is right for your animals.
Hi from Australia. I am just so pleased that there are no haters, posting about what you had to do. I love the empathy you have for your sheep. Tough decision to make and congratulations for making it.
Sometimes the kindest thing for them is the hardest part for us. You made the right call.
Agree with you 100%
Ya
Agreed!
agreed i dont like seeing sandi in pain
I totally agree. I've lost several baby horses due to colic and so forth. And thats really hard on me too. But I never want an animal to suffer.
The fact that you get so emotional over losing your sheep speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. Its the reason this is my fav sheep channel... xoxo
My favourite also. Sandi and I cry over the same things.
Whether a ewe in a farm, or a pet in the home, being responsible for the life of a creature, or its humane death, always weighs on one’s soul. Take heart you did the right thing.
I swear Jess is Sandi's mini me through and through! Her smile,voice,phrases and more are a carbon copy of her mom. I love it! ❤
Yup! You have to wonder if Jess actually ever saw an episode of the Gong Show... Not very likely 🫣
Most of us happily go about buying our neatly package meat at the super market without thinking about what people like you do for us in the background . Thank you for doing the hard work for us
Good call. As much as you love them, this is a business. One of your responsibilities is to make sure nobody suffers unduly, be it the ewe or your family who support you. You handled it with compassion, kindness and humility. I am proud of your strength and humanity.

It is so hard. She really doesn’t look good . She has done all she can.
I agree with you Ann. just always a tough day.

those are hard...
Death is a gift to those suffering, thank you for being strong enough to offer it.
You were kind to put her down, Sandi. It's never an easy decision but it was the right one. Bless you for making it as soon as you did.
She won't be suffering anymore. You are being kind to to the ewe.
Remember, you can't be everywhere at once. Not noticing her earlier is not your fault.

Sometimes what’s best for them is the most painful for us. She seemed to just be done. You love your animals and it shows in everything you do.
Farming isn’t all fluffy lambs. You do the best you can with the hand your dealt, you tried.
I held my old dog, who had cancer, in my arms when the vet put him to sleep. I literally saw a living, breathing (though suffering) creature become an empty shell. I knew nothing I could do would ever reverse the process. I sobbed my heart out. Of course we will be kind; we love you.

Tough call no one wants to have to make. You did everything you could for Momma 106.
Sandi, you are by far a very humane person. It is never an easy decision, but in the end no extended suffering. Big hug for you from me. Thanks again for the tag along.🐧🌹❤
Sandi, you did all you could for that ewe. She was done and putting her down was kind and ended suffering.
Sandi - you did the right thing. There is nothing to be ashamed of or upset about. You looked after that ewe as one of your own and you gave it your all. God bless you.
Kindest thing is to end their suffering even though it's the hardest thing to do

One of the worst parts of raising animals is making the horrid decisions. I respect your courage and compassion.
Honestly Sandi You did the right thing for that ewe. You cared enough to give her that one final act of kindness.
Sandi, you did the right thing. Her condition, unwillingness to be pushy at the bunk, and how her utter looked are all confirmation that this decision had to be made to relieve her suffering.
Your kindness saved her from suffering. You're amazing for that. Thank you!
Also, Jess has a sideway glance and smile that make me giggle every single time. I woke my kids up giggling. Imagine you and the husband made that mischief possible 😂

My heart hurts for you, Sandi. You made the most informed, loving, humane decision to end that ewe's suffering. 😢♥️🐑
I’m sorry you lost the sick sheep. I know you did everything you could for her. I know putting her down was very hard for you because your sheep are all like your children.😢
You and your whole family is amazing!!! You should all be proud of eachother!
Totally agree with you!!!
thanks so much Lorna!
I love your family and work ethics! Don’t know how you do it all. Thank you for sharing your life with us...❤️
Don’t second guess yourself, about the ewe. If that’s what your “gut” was telling you to do, you made the right choice.
Thank you for being merciful. So many people in this world does not think about the animal the way you do. You got such a good heart. Oh the Instapot!!! such a lifesaver.

Good afternoon in central Pennsylvania.
I am so sorry you had to put down the ewe. It is a way better choice than making her suffer. You are doing a great job! You love your animals and take care of them wonderfully.
❤&🙏
Thanks so much!
Sometimes 🐑 the humane thing is also the most heartbreaking 💔 we all have had pets or farm animals that needed peace... Grant yourself some GRACE...❤️💜❤️ You’re a compassionate human In a world of cruelty 🧡💚❤️🧡💚❤️
You are a good person and life isn’t easy. You have done the right thing. Be kind to yourself.
Gangrene is just one of those lethal things, sadly. And it is an AWFUL way to go. You did the best thing for her. You ended her suffering in a gentle and quick way after doing all you could for her. It isn't easy, but sometimes it is what we have to do. *hugs*
You did the right thing, poor girl really wasn't looking good but you have her a chance. Farming sucks at times like that. X
As hard as this was for you I am glad you put her down. She was suffering and you were as well watching her. You did the right thing.
I am sorry you had to do that. She had a great life while she was with you.
Sandi, only you know, you're there. We do the best for our wards, something some people think we couldn't care less about. I trust your Judgement!
Thank you for ending the poor ewe's suffering. Take heart and count the successes :)
You did the right thing. You put the animals well being before your personal feelings. I tip my hat to you. You’re an amazing farmer.
I think crock pot meals were made for farmers!😂 Set in the morning, ready by dinner! Keep up the great work!💕🐑💕🐑💕🐑💕
My kids always loved crockpot meals. I worked while they were at school. So coming home to a meal was a blessing to both of us. Ranch seasoning on chicken was always a hit. Onion soup, beef stroganoff, stew's.
Sandi, it's so nice to have a visit with you and your family. So sorry about your ewe; life is hard at times. Hugs dear one. You are having a lovely fall. It is winter in Alaska.😆 God bless the Brooks!❤
Sandi, you are so caring to your flock. Sometimes you can’t save your sheep and you did give her a fighting chance. She is not in pain now❤️🐑
You have the biggest heart 💜 you made the right call, don't be too hard on yourself.
im happy that ewe is in a much more comfortable place. no more pain. i love watching you do all you can for these animals.
You are a very compassionate farmer, Sandy. The love you show towards your animals is exceptional.
she wasnt living a healthy life so it was her time. You do such a good job with what ever you do.
You made the best decision for that ewe. It's hard and painful, but best. Here's a hug. 🙅♀️
Stay strong Sandi, coming from a farm I know how hard some decisions are in managing the wealth fare of the animals! You are so compassionate. Thanks for sharing the real world of farming.
Don't feel bad...just by her body language, you are definately did the right thing!
Sheesh can't "talk"... But it was best for her, she was suffering and not getting better
Wow, doesn’t seem like a year since the roof blew off, where’d that time go? You’re life is so full on. You’re a good woman Sandi Brock, thanks for sharing this with us all.💜
You have a soft heart but know that that ewe is out of pain. I love the fact you love all of your family ❤️❤️ stay safe and healthy! This old lady from South Carolina. ❤️❤️👵❤️❤️🐑🐏
It’s really the only kind thing to do. Tough choice but the right one.
So sorry about the ewe. You did everything, Sandy, and no one can say you didn't. You are an absolute wonder with all you do and still have that beautiful smile. Bless you. Jess is so funny without even trying. Always dancing and smiling. Cannot wait for the babies again.
😘🤗 I don't think anyone likes that part. Just know you provided her with the best life.
Farming is never easy...we do the best we can with compassion and empathy. Anyone who questions that has never had to make those tough decisions.
It is always hard to be the one who makes the call to take a life. Some would say, "It's just an animal." or "It's a life! How dare you!" My opinion is that if you do what is right for the animal YOU are a good person! You love your animals: that is obvious. Thank You for the time you put in to share with us.
Sandi, i feel ur pain. U have a big heart and i love that about u. U r very sensitive. U raise sheep for business purposes, but u still care about them, and work hard to give them a healthy life while they r here. It was a hard decision, but u made the right one.
I go through the same emotions when raising pigs hardest thing to decide
I am so very sorry Sandi! You did the right thing by letting her go. I don't know how anyone could give you a thumbs down on the video.
Oh Sandi. Your tender heart is what makes you so good at what you do. Hang in there. 🙏❤️🙏❤️😌
Anyone who has seen you with your sheepies knows how much you love them. And seeing the tears in your eyes... I am so sorry. You were very kind and loving to that sweet momma sheep, you poured into her all you could. Putting her down was the best thing you could do. Big love, Sandi!
No matter what we have to take into consideration the animal's quality of life.
It's hard but you did the right thing.

My husband who was a cabinet maker...always said when making a tough decision was ''to keep your wood as long as you can, for as long as you can''...don't make it in haste...and you didn't...you left it until the decision was made for you...a hard one, but necessary...love you Sandi and family and crew
You have such a big heart, you did the right thing.
It's time to give her the best act of kindness that you can give her. It's never easy to make the call. You have done everything possible to help her we all know that. Hugs to you for comfort.
The highs and lows of animal husbandry. You gave that ewe lots of love and care, but her life was, unfortunately, never going be positive for the farm/flock. It takes a strength to make & act on these decisions. Big hugs from a former livestock manager.
Tough decisions. You love your animals. Good call.
I'm so sorry Sandy. Wish I could add some pictures here to make you smile. Love, hugs, and prayers
You gave her freedom from the pain and the struggle. It is hard to do with any animal but it is merciful and necessary at times. Big Hugs to you for having the courage and compassion to do what is right for your animals.
Today you showed that ewe love, respect and understanding. That's all an animal could ask!
One of the reasons I LOVE your channel is because you have HEART , and are not indifferent to your livestock and family.
