- ITS WEANING DAY!
And if you know me, this is my least favourite job on the sheep farm.
HOWEVER...
Carissa is off school today, so her and Jess gave me a hand!
But, as good as actual weaning went, I ran into other unforeseen issues in the finishing barn.

Listen here young lady... I’m 65, not a homesteader, retired, etc., and I’m going to talk to you like a mom. You are worthy. You are interesting. You are important. You are a beautiful woman. You put out delightful and useful videos. The vast majority of viewers love you and want you to succeed. God is using you to take care of his creatures and educate others how to be humane. It’s all good, daughter. Keep on filming your daily routine, because it opens a new world for many of us! Love from North Carolina, born in Winnipeg.
This. Yes!!! ^^^^^^
QueenBee you are so right!
Amen!
What she said! Many many of your followers are not farmers. We watch to see your wonderful sheep sure.... but we also watch to see wonderful YOU. I will watch you CIDR sheep for as long as you give me the privilege of doing so. Your videos have made a difference in my non-farmer life. Thank you... sincerely. Angie from Wellesley ON
Sending love from Bryan, Texas. You're awesome, Sandi.
If she doesn’t like what you show, there are many other channels she can watch content from. We loyal peeps like what you show, and love it.
That is about what I was just going to post. Sandi, you are such a good person and I am sorry that you get so down on yourself. I am praying that things get better. I'm sure some better weather wouldn't hurt. LOL God Bless
Sometimes we are harder on ourselves. Remember , dear lady, for every negative person, there are 20 of us that love and respect you.
Couldnt say it better Stacy
What’s someone griping about now, for Pete’s sake?
here here Stacy. well said xx
Never, ever apologize for getting emotional; that's what makes all of us human.
Thank you, so much, Sandi, for all your efforts and for being yourself! You have NO IDEA how much you have helped me since my husband passed unexpectedly on the morning after Christmas! DON'T let your 'downer' "friend" beat you up! You are an awesome person!

Sandi, I am not a farmer. Never have been, never will be. However, every single time you share something, even it it's the 15th time I've watched you lambing, or shearing, or cleaning, etc., I learn something. I also like the frequent friendly check-ins from your life. Even though I will never meet you, I feel like this fulfills some need I have for social engagement. Thank you for all your time, effort, vulnerability and sharing your life.
Well said, Mother Henn!
Yes to this!
Exactly
Amen
@Mother Henn Thank you. You said it perfectly.
How many times can I watch you cedre a ewe? As many frickin times as you want to film it. I love your content and make it a point to only watch real people doing real life and you my friend are very real!! To hell with the critics!
Listen Sandy, that was no friend, healthy boundaries for that one, your subs and views say it all.....
We will continue to join you as you work through your day, via vlog, no matter the content, we love you and what you do, period.
In situations of such negativity this Maya Angelo quote always helps me. “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”. You know in your heart and gut that this person is too negative. Please don’t give that person the power to bring you down. YOU ARE AWESOME!
I got the feels when you were talking about the “how many times” person. As a country girl that has moved to the city, the cycles of a farm signal the passage of time and seasons. For me, during this pandemic and lockdowns, you are reminding me that life is still normal, depending on ordinary schedules and that there is a continuance of time that never changes. You keep me grounded with your videos and I am sure others feel the same way. 💕💕💕
Well said exactly!!!
Yup!
Well said, Angel Robinson!!
It’s also a spurious argument at odds with human nature. They say there are only 7 plots in fiction, and we’ve all consumed more than 7 TV shows, movies, or books despite this. So while lambing this time was comfortably familiar, it had unique drama like Noah’s story to keep us engaged.
I love all your videos take no notice of downer's they just put people down to make themselves feel better we in this house in the UK love watching you
Sandi, don't be hard on yourself, especially about showing us the same things, because there is always something slightly different. A different challenge of a different group. But I think it is extremely important that you show the repetitive and cyclative nature of farming. It isn't always new or exciting. It is hard labour!! I love watching all the different cycles you go through on the farm. Just like farming though, certain styles of youtube aren't for everyone. You provide plenty of new information while vlogging, and we all hope you keep it up!!
It just like any other job. You have repetitive in your job. But it is important
100%
You said that better than I could.
Jealous people say nasty thing's, don't take on other people's negativity your doing a wonderful job
Ah Sandi, your honesty and integrity is what keeps us all here ♥️ Watching you being you, whether it's a good day or a difficult one, is so refreshing. Because it's real. You don't try and be someone you're not. You're just you, and that's exactly the person we all love! Keep going 😘
I wished you could see what I see in you. You’re a beautiful heathy, smart woman, with healthy children, and a good marriage. Please be grateful for all you have AND do not listen to negative people! If they don’t like what you post then WHY are they watching! I love your videos!
Omgosh it hurts my heart to see you wiping tears. You work SO hard and relentlessly seek to improve your operation. Please don't be so hard on yourself. You are awesome and your work ethic unmatched. You are enough.
Sandi I am 64yo this year and have raised not only kids but a lot of different animals. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your acknowledgement of farming and ability to help others understand the work involved in raising sheep. I love goat.
Hi, I'm from Australia and I haven't commented before but I want to say that you inspire me and my husband. We are seriously considering becoming new farmers. There is no one out there like you doing what you do on you tube, there are a couple that are similar, but you are unique in a very good way. I thank you for sharing your insight and experiences....On another note, sometimes people say the stupidest things for multitudes of reasons, from jealously to you not "fitting the mould" to a lack of emotional intelligence. At the end of the day, it says more about your friend than it does about you. Keep on going and don't even think on it again:)
That “friend” sounds jealous of you because of your vlog success. Not sure you should keep that “friend”.
She's not a friend but just an acquaintance.
@@vivianwinford3681 well they’re no one I’d want to have as an acquaintance if that’s how they treat ppl. Like that old saying, if you don’t have anything nice to say ... 🤨
Yes sandy shouldn't have that person around her she should just remove dead weight
Sandy's life
Sandy's vlog
And we love her for it
Is Noah staying
What kind of person do you have to be to tell someone that you do to want to watch their videos. I mean it’s one thing to just not watch, but to tell the person who makes the videos that they don’t want to see what they produce is heartbreaking. I could see the same thing over and over and I will never get tired. Keep up trying because there will always be people that are mad at your success.
Jealous is what it is. Friends like that are not worth your time.
@@lauriej9418 So very right.
@@lauriej9418 They are no friends...just a poisonous root...time to dig it up and discard.
Yeh. It exposes a sad kind of ugly, doesn’t it?
@@ChristophersMum Sandi, use the Report or block button. They are not worth your time. They need to get a life. You are doing what you love to do and your viewers love to watch, get excited about your accomplishments and the love you give to your animals and babies. Great work, go to your doctor about the numbness in your hand. Your favorite viewers love you so a 👍❤ to you.
When you discover a negative individual like that in your life, get out the pruners and cut them off so you can flourish. If they're family or someone you need in your life for whatever reason, only deal with them when you need to.
You know Sandy, we love you just the way you are. Quirky, lovable, compassionate, loyal and human. You're perfect. Thank you for taking the time to share your world.
Wow, I can’t believe people do not live by the saying, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” You are a rare jewel that needs to shine bright every day. Don’t let the clouds keep the sun from shining on you.
Lovely words ❤
My mom rest her soul taught 5 kids that same saying!
To put it bluntly if they don’t like you then they don’t have to watch but I 10000% sure those who love you will watch and give you all the praise encouragement and support you need look at how many cards and presents you received at Christmas. I love your videos and look forward to every time you post take care Sandi keep going.
Dd was z2>.o0’
Upon further reflection I feel that your negative “friend” is possibly someone close to you who is overwhelmed by your energy/drive/ success/passion/accomplishments/preoccupations. They want to be in your life but not too close because it’s threatening... hence the negative snarkiness. Let them float out there at a “safe” distance. Other people close to you will gladly give you the approval and support you seek.
She's toxic because she's envious!! Bye Felicia!!!😳
You're right! It'd the story of a strong woman farmer! Not a flipping tutorial. Just saying.
Those who say “How many times blah blah blah.” They don’t want to watch repeat stuff can just go to the next videos. We all have rough days Sandi. Even as a crafter my days are not perfect. I enjoy your videos.
Sandi, I’m a born and raised city girl from Los Angeles and now living in coastal rural Oregon. I love watching your routines! It never gets old for me. I will never have a farm and I’ve learned so much watching your videos about subjects I’ve never experienced before. Keep your spirits up! I’m sure I am one of thousands that love watching your daily life. Keep strong Lady. We love you.
Hello Sandi! I'm a 19 year old boy from Germany and I just want to tell you that your my inspiration! Because of you I started to study agriculture and I love it! I want to be a Farmer, i want to go through the ups and downs and I just want to do what you are doing! I'm watching you since the beginning and it never gets boring. Youre video is the highlight of my day! Thank you!
Why someone feels the need to be nasty and then let you know that they aren't going to follow you anymore Is beyond me. I personally have watched every one of your videos from the beginning and I even go back and watch them again when I'm feeling down I'll watch the lambs frolicking around or the birthing videos they bring me up. The chores may be repetitious but it's different every time if that makes any sense.
Chores are not a cut and paste situation, humanity comes into play which makes each similar chore different . I hope that's understandable to you not just to me. I don't comment on every video and infact barely comment, you have so many comments to read and by the time I watch the videos my comment is usually already made so I like those comments. My way to help you not waste your valuable time. 😉
Sorry that you were having a hard day. Keep your chin up and don't let the Debbie downers get you down.
Stay happy, healthy, hydrated, safe and warm.
May God continue to bless you and your family.
I was going to say the same thing. I love watching everything you do!! Everyone is so boring compared to you! Be strong, don't doubt yourself , you are amazing!!
Those of us who tend to be self critical will be strongly affected by negative reviews despite our logical perspective telling it's unwarranted. People matter to you. Excellence matters to you. Good news: you are constantly striving for excellence and 99.99% of the people who tune in to your vlogs totally see your high standards. We appreciate you. When you're feeling vulnerable, let us know. We've got you in our appreciative arms on the daily.
I am a country girl living in a large city. I miss the farming cycles I grew up with and you can show as many CIDR videos as you want because I will still watch.
I had a stroke at the age of 36. I grew up on a farm, and it's in my blood. It's always been my dream to farm again. Due to circumstances, that dream might be a long time comin'. So I come watch your videos. My husband even knows. If I'm having a rough day, he'll tell me I need to "go watch your sheep lady videos", because something about what you do here, is so good for me. I grew up farming, and I know that it is a constant process of learning, failing, and failing better next time. It shifts and moves in a way that means you can never perfect the art. Farming is often about doing the same thing for the millionth time and still feeling that satisfaction of accomplishment. The great part is, even after that millionth time, something beautiful happens. It's the same, but it's never the same. So, if that 'how-many-times' person doesn't get, that is some issue on their part... let them keep that. It's harder to hear something negative from someone you know. But there is a whole chorus out here saying that we love what you do and we await your next video. If I were to sit in your truck and have a cuppa with you, I'd kindly tell you to take the pressure off. None of this needs to be forced. You aren't forced to make the videos. Anytime it is no longer serving you - quit. You have that right. And no one is forcing the rest of us to watch them. We do because we like what you're doing. If that changes, we can quit too. Take the pressure off. Skip the judgement. We see how much work you put into everything and admire you for that. You aren't letting anyone down. You are filming farming. It is what it is. And those of us who enjoy watching farming... we're here cheering you on.
Very well said! Thank you. Sandi is 1 of a kind in my book. I go looking for her videos, and the inspiration of her smile & tenacity to pick my sorry butt up & drag myself thru my tough days. She's something else & I'm so glad I found her channel.
oh my gosh, so well said. I could only add my piece: I love watching your channel , never find it boring or repetitve, I learn alot, I am an office girl, not a farming person, so find it expands my knowledge and deepens my respect for farmers. I would say distance yourself from that person. Your heart will be brighter for it.
Beautiful! ❤️❤️
How many times can i like all these replies!!
That was very true
❤️
I keep commenting today for some reason... I like watching the same things over and over. It's re-assuring to see someone else's non-Kardashian life. Watching a real life, not a fake one.
Jeez, don't tell that "friend" about the Hoof GP and his channel, she'll go into fits... I have loved each and every video I have ever watched here. I even impressed a group of colleagues last week with my knowledge of sheep! LÂCHE PAS MA BELLE! :)
Omg ..I LOVE The Hoof GP ALMOST as I love Sandi!!!!
I LOVE the hoof gp too 😍
Graeme is so fun!
Sandi, about how to start being more positive in your self talk, try this: 1. As soon as you catch yourself saying something negative to yourself, stop. Say (out loud if you are alone) CANCEL and brush your shoulder or arm as you say CANCEL. If you are in company, just do the brushing and think CANCEL. 2. Immediately think or say three things about yourself you know are both true and positive. Always say it out loud if you can, it is more powerful that way. Hint: take time now to identify three things about yourself that are both true and positive. Ask for help if you need it, but us telling you things are not the same as you thinking it through and picking three you know to be true and positive. You need to do that. Those first three are your anchor, then as you hear or realize others, add them to the list. Write it down on paper, or your computer or Gallagher. For the next month, do not spend time thinking about ways you want to improve - or put another way - don't think about your weaknesses. We all have them. For the next month, focus exclusively on your strengths, cancel all negative self talk. This is how you start changing. No one can do this but you - and you have to be very honest with yourself. If you don't know if it is a positive or not - reserve it to discuss with someone who knows you well and you trust to tell you the truth. Good luck.
Edit: Saying things out loud is for you to hear it. Your mind voice talking to yourself is not as strong as your voice speaking out loud. The more you say good things to yourself out loud, your subconscious starts to accept it as true, even when you are in doubt. So do say things out loud, and take advantage of when you are alone to do it as much as possible.
Wow, powerful! I am going to practice this to battle the negative self talk in my head. Accepting things as they are instead of yearning for what I think things should be. My biggest critic, myself.
Good advice Julie...Sandi does need to off load some of the negative thinking...I think a few of us do also...I am sure that all of us can say that Sandi is a beautiful person (both inside and out), loving and very, very hardworking...thank you for your comment and I do hope she reads it and takes your advice...Love from Scotland🎇😁💞🎇
@Julie Enslow - That is ABSOLUTELY GREAT ADVICE TO ANYONE.
Our negative "self talk" can be SO destructive to our mind, body, & soul. And it depresses, exhausts, & saps creativity, too.
Positive "self talk" does the Reverse of all that bad, flips it right on its head. NONE of us is even close to being perfect.
Never let a Negative Ninny steal your joy. The problem is within themselves. Like the saying goes, "Misery loves company." She's so miserable, she wants to spread to others.
Thank you ladies! As I am sure you all know, those steps are not from me but from others who were teaching self control to others. All self control should start with this so it does not turn destructive. And of course this process is good for everyone.
Thank you for this inspiration. You have motivated me to do this. I am going to write this down and read it over and over. I needed to hear this today. Thank you God for sending this message to me and thank you for the person you designated to write these words. God Bless you!
I am a “housewife” and my work is VERY repetitive. But I enjoy it, and people would soon take notice if I quit! That is life! And it’s true ... every time is a little different, and, at,70, I am still learning.
I live, in a city. I don't have wide open spaces, or large animals calling. I don't have things to tend to but my plants and my family. I will watch you sheer and cedar and lamb and harvest and all that stuff the cows come home, Sandy! This is a wonderful view into your life, and a career I never knew anything about until I started watching you.
No no no! You are doing great, I love watching everything you do. Life is just that....repetitive and getting the job done. I love watching your pen clean outs and lambing days. Please don't let those negative arses get you down....you got this girl, you are fun and your content is awesome! Merci and much love from Ottawa 🇨🇦
We aren't watching chores, we're watching you sweetie. Mundane everyday processes are made special because of your "suck it up and get it done" attitude. Like cleaning out that loft and seeing you smile at your accomplishments. It's all very satisfying to watch and it's all because of you.
Sandi I’m an old male commercial yachtmaster on the west of Scotland. I know nothing about farming or sheep. All I’ve learned is through your site.
I would never miss your posts. Look forward to them immensely.
You are an inspiration. Never stop being who you are. 🥰
Scotland 🏴. !!!!!
I don't know who that close someone is but it sounds like they need to be weaned away from you! You are a sweet, kind, loving, person and I don't think I have ever seen anyone work as hard as you do. You are an amazing person and don't let anyone make you feel bad about yourself! I love your videos!!!❤😊
I’m absolutely positive that you are absolutely the best. The way the ewes and lambs come up to you all the time proves it. I will never stop watching. Noah is my favorite of this group because you fought hard to keep him alive and he fought hard to survive...
I’m not a farmer or livestock person. I’m a homeschooling mom. I watch your videos to be motivated and for the cute factor. I am amazed by your responsibilities and accomplishments. I’m over here managing my household, keeping my kids alive and it’s tough some days. So it’s incredible that you keep these animals alive and take care of responsibilities beyond them also. It’s nice to see your humanity and perseverance.
I don't know what to say. I'm in the middle of a depression episode, so you being so negative about yourself makes me cry as well. Showing your weakness, is a strength. Talking about it, is very good. People who thinks negative about you, will always be there unfortenutly. BUT THERE ARE WAY MORE PEOPLE WHO LOVES YOU.
Carola, I send you a psychological hug and good wishes from Perú 👋
Hugs and love💖May God send you joy today
I just got through one. Setting up a bird feeder and going outside every morning to feed sparrows helped me. I pretend I'm Sandi going out to the barn when I pull on my winter boots in my pajamas … :) Hugs and kindness being sent your way Carola.
Carola, depression is a lot more common than people think. I'm sending you wishes for a shortened episode and quick recovery. In this hurry up and go life, EVERYTHING seems like an emergency. Next time something gets so out of whack and crazy, just ask your self " in a hundred years, will any of this matter to anyone.......anyway?? " although its pretty important right now, but tomorrow is a new day. I dont know about your spiritual side, but for myself I always just tell myself to do the best I can, and God will do what I can't.
I really enjoy seeing the day-to-day of your farm. I really marvel at just how many “hats” you all wear: farmer, veterinarian, soil scientist, mechanic, builder, parent...the list goes on.
I'm a farmer in the midst of lambing our own small flock and I love these videos! I look forward to them every day and have been for about two years now. Love your sheep and everything that you do! Makes the mundane feel much more special.
Sandi!!!! Hearing that about the person in your life made my heart just sink!!! Hang in there, we all love you so much and send so many virtual hugs to you!!!!!
Sandi, when I first found your channel I was very interested in the sheep and farming. I used it to help me gain knowledge for a potential future of doing some small farming. Now, yes...the sheep are great. But I tune in to see you and hear your voice. I value your down to earth perspective and your wisdom. But I also value your smile and you just posting about your every day life as a farmer, mother, wife, etc. Your videos bring me such comfort each day. Please know... many of us here have falling in love with Sandi the person.... not Sandi the farmer.
Have a great weekend.
Personally, I will NEVER get tired of watching your routine over and over and over and over. That's what amazing farming is. The routine with teensy improvements that make ALL the difference. I watch like a hawk for those teensy nuggets of wisdom to see if they might apply to my little bitty flock.
You're hilarious. And loving. And generous. And tough. And frigging strong. And you have crazy long legs that can go over a fence panel like nothing haha (yes wishing for longer legs over here). You're brutal with your improvements. You're tender with your animals. You back a trailer like a boss. You are unbelievable.
Sandi- You HAVE to know we are here to see you and see you do the same chores over again. Thats farming!!! YOU make it different every time. Don't listen to the haters!
Sandi, the longest journey is the one between your head and your heart 💜
Dear sandy. I used to live in China with my family. I am from Canada and watching you back home was what kept me sane. Now I am back in Ontario and I still love watching your videos. I have no idea why I love it but I do. I am not a farmer but I never miss a video. I think your friend doesn’t realize we sometimes need consistency. Your videos are my one constant. Never ever think there aren’t people who love the videos.
My sister in law deemed our whole family her herd. And I feel like you are a part of our herd. With love brandy and the rest of the herd.
I thought I'd mention to you how much I *enjoy* the repetition. I have to admit that I am not really able to physically do what you do, so I vicariously get to have my own sheep by "having" yours. In all the good and bad.
I legit thought when you went in the barn and said hello and carissa said hey! I thought it was the sheep saying hey hahahaha
Sounds like someone is jealous of your channel to me. I've been watching now for just over a year and honestly I like the routine of mating, lambing, sorting, shipping, cleaning, mating, lambing, sorting etc. etc. etc. Even though you follow a plan each group is different, and I love seeing the colours of the lambs and hoping for painted ones, which I guess will now be more frequent. Never change Sandi xx
Glad Carrisa is back even if it’s part time.
Whoever made that comment about your content could not be more wrong. Everything you share is of value, it's both educational and entertaining, and we will always, always, ALWAYS, need storytellers like you. Personally, my best memories as a kid are from spending summers on my cousin's farm. Those were the times I felt the most like myself, and your videos helped me reconnect with that at a time when thinking about childhood was painful. So thanks
There's more of us that want to build you up, than those who want to tear you down. Keep up your wonderful videos and "farm on".
FOR THE RECORD, we as a family sit down and watch your videos. We come here to see all your adventures, your love and tenderness for your sheep, even if it's over and over and over. Legit for reals. THIS is why we come here. So. Keep up the good work, the love for your animals, and we learn sssooo much, and the repetitive makes it stick. In fact, we had a ewe go into labor, and had I not been watching your vlogs I wouldn't have known what to do. So. We love you!
Sandi, you mention having shoulder issues and not being able to feel your hands, that sounds more like a nerve in your neck issue, you should really check that out. Health first, and always.
Chiropractor might help
Please take care of yourself. We love you and watching you do the "same" things. It's life and that's what we do. It's so additive.
Don’t be hard on yourself. I think you are AMAZING. AND THOUSANDS THAT WATCH YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY.
That girl is lickin your boots now that you have about a quarter of a million subscribers that love you. :)♡♡♡
Love all your videos. Keep the shows coming they are always a brief "gift to myself" during a busy and stressful day. Thank you for sharing your life and great family..
Sandy I am sending love from Lafayette, Georgia USA.I am 72 years young and in my opinion you are perfect just the way you are.Keep doing what you are doing.You make this old woman smile every day.
I am from South Carolina, USA, I feel the same , and I am 72 years old . How I love to watch Sandi ,her family and Carissa work togethet and also show their love of each other and the life they live. They are an inspiration to those of their viewers who love to watch. ❤
There’s always losers who want to make you feel bad.they are the bullies in life !! Love you love watching 🐑🇨🇦❤️
Sandi, I'm just looking at the thumbs up and the thumbs down, just for this vlog. You have 99.997 % thumbs up in comparison to the .003 thumbs down. That kind of tells me your doing ok young lady. We all have special people in ours lives that you would love to please all of the time but, that's never going to happen so love them them anyway and who knows how they might react to that. Caring so much is really a pain, isn't it?
There’s a reason why you have so many followers! I don’t care how many times I see the same thing, you say different things and have different triumphs or complications each time. I constantly learn from you! I had the fear of getting angry at negative comments so I didn’t start a channel for a long time, but I just started a channel and modeled it off of your video techniques!
You are never, ever going to make 100% of people happy. The masses have shown that they love what you do and even if we didn’t, do what makes you happy and what *you* are passionate about. This is *your* life and you are real, you don’t make fake content or fake scenarios to ‘make things interesting’.
We love you and don’t want you to change to please somebody else.
Is she just jealous? I don't know, you do you. That is why we are here on your channel, watching you be you.
sandi!!! Your channel is by far my favorite youtube channel ever and i’ve been watching youtube for 9 years. Not only are your videos entertaining and fun, but they’re a big stress reliever for me and i have learned so so much even though i’m not a sheep farmer. the information you provide in your videos have helped me a lot with my animal science classes and i’m so grateful!! we love you!!
I never get tired of watching you love these sheep.
Sandy, quit beating yourself up. I love to watch everything no matter how many times and if anyone doesn’t want to see that days they can always click out. Stay strong!
Oh Sandi I don’t like to see you cry so keep your head up everything is gonna be alright
I disagree on one point, a good cry every once in awhile is good for everyone. It lightens the load on the soul. For some reason, it enables you to sleep better. As a child when I was getting my gluteus maximus warmed I always heard , "shut up or I'll give you something to cry about". Holding it in just creates anger and Hate.
@@earlhollar1906 I know, I just don’t like to see someone cry and it does help to cry every now and then
I am not a farmer and I just enjoy you Sandie your trials and triumphs. I am 65 and its taken me a long time to let negative people go. Life is to short, we need all the positive encouragement we can get. Hang in there we all love you and your sheep. Xxx
I am not a farmer or rancher, I have raised rabbits for food,all my children did 4H and raised animals, please please don't listen to the negative,there are always room for improvement, but perfection will never be reached, I can only speak for myself, I enjoy the same thing, I am soo sorry I can't donate for your content, but I can be an emotional pal.
Sheep farming is repetative and funny and insperational and interesting because of you. How hard you work. how much you care about everything. and the way you highlight each sheeps personality. How much joy you find in your work and how much it can weigh you down sometimes yet you cry it off you keep going and better times always come. You are one of the best people to aspire to be. Be kind to yourself sandi.
Thank you for all you do. For bringing your real life with all its ups and downs into my life.
Seriously I could watch you play with your sheep, rearrange pens, vaccinate, and scoop poop all day!!! If people don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all and move on to the next Channel. Keep up the awesome work you're doing!!!!
That’s what we are here for, to vent to and get get control. Just know we are all behind you and are praying for extra strength!!!❤️
your helper is a bit rough sometimes? Sandi, this is such hard work...it will keep you strong, I wouldn't last a day myself. I wondered how you separated them, very cool. There is such a learning curve to all this I dont' know how anyone gets past the first year...you are really remarkable. I think you should give yourself way more credit.
For every one person who wants to be negative towards you, there are a thousand who love watching what you do. I come from a farming family (including sheep) and I have learnt a lot from what you do, your farming techniques and ideas are different from what did on our farm here in the UK.
don't worry about showing the same content..if someone doesn't want to watch it again the have an off button..as for me i have been with you from the beginning..and never get tired of watching and listening to you..and i always learn something new or see something different. TOTALLY love you and your content..can't wait for lambing again..
I love the repetitiveness, people who don’t must not understand that this is real life, not scripted tv.
I’m here for the “real” not for made up drama shows.
Thanks for being willing to show us your sheep, Sandi.❤️
I love all of your videos!! It’s to the point that my friends and family ask me how the sheep are doing lol! I love watching you work even if it’s something I’ve seen 100 times! Keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️
I'm not a farmer nor am I someone that really likes animals at all, however, I absolutely love your channel! I find the entire process fascinating and have learned so much about raising lambs. Love lambing seasons, always! But most importantly, I enjoy cheering you on and watching a capable woman being successful in her chosen career. You're doing great!! Be proud of all that you've accomplished and give yourself some grace. You're the bomb!!
Your job is so physical. Massages are mandatory every week 💕. I had to turn down the volume. Moms crying, baby’s crying, Sandi crying. Crying is good for cleansing 😂😂
I’m a sheep farmer from Ireland but we say ewes like yo’s
Some in Ontario (Canada) say it like yos, some say it like yews, I guess it's just personal preference. Seems like the old timers say yos more often.
Dear Sandy, I am shocked that you are so upset by the reaction of a disappointed follower. I have been following you for over a year and have always seen you as a strong woman, moving mountains for the sake of the herd and therefore your business, your family and your friends. And of course you are.
We certainly have our devils in our heads who criticize us, but don't let others add devils to them. If someone drops out because they have different expectations of your vlog, that is not about you and your vlog, but about the expectations of the person who drops out.
Sandy, just continue with what you are doing and don't stop until you can't or don't want to. I hope that will take a long time.
Greetings and love from Erwin from the Netherlands.
The BEST 24 minutes of the day! My wife is a currently crazy-busy REALTOR on Vancouver Island, and she just took 24 minutes to specifically watch today's video.
I'm not a farmer. But I work at a refuge for homeless pregnant teenage girls, it's a hard job and emotionally taxing. Watching you and your sheep is calming for me. Please keep it up.
Kudos to you. As a midwife, i have always had a soft spot in my heart for pregnant teens. They are still so young, and yet so old. Hugs to you and keep up the good work.
You have such a beautiful, kind heart!!! Anyone who’s heart hurts for the mamas and the babies on weaning day is a farmer who truly cares for their animals. Please don’t listen to those who spout negativity!! You have to remember that what they do and say DOESN’T have anything to do with you......it tells you who they are, not who you are!!! Please don’t stop sharing with us, you have no idea how much your videos mean to others. We wouldn’t watch if we didn’t like what you do. You are awesome!!
I’m glad Sandi repeats herself because I don’t always see what she’s trying to point out the first time. I like seeing videos where I know what she’s planning to do because it’s hilarious when it never quite goes to plan (usually for cute sheep reasons, not laughing at life stuff). That person has a right to their opinion but they’re missing out on all the fun. I’m relatively new (joined early 2022) but I’m going through the whole back catalog of videos. It lets me see how far she’s come & I understand the sheep better. I love this channel & I don’t get bored by it 🤷🏻♀️
I love that you keep things so real, showing that you have down days keeps it real and not animated. Hugs to lift you up.
Love seeing the real farmer and her real struggles.
Unfortunately she sounds like a "Negative Nancy" and we all have at least 1 of us in our lives and we just have to learn to ignore them.
Amen
If someone thinks us you’re neg (& I don’t, why are they watching? I’m not a farm lady. Besides there aren’t’ many sheep where I live. I love your clips& have learned so much. Hold your head up high!!!❤️🐑
My dear young lady, you probably won’t get to read this as I see you have 1.5k reply’s but I will say this anyway ‼️ You are absolutely amazing,thoughtful,kind,caring, hardworking, nurturing,resourceful,intelligent, uplifting,outgoing, courageous,giving, forthright,strong (both in physical and mental),reliable,trustworthy,lovable and fun. I think 🤔 I forgot something about you ❓⁉️❓ Oh that’s right, and I believe your husband will agree,Gorgeous‼️. I know the struggle called FARMING, and it has its ups and downs. And it is one I wish I tried harder to stay in. But in south jersey it seemed they didn’t want us. And they offered my grandparents more money than could be made in 10 years of growing potatoes and grain. So our farm eventually became an industrial park. So I live back on the farm vicariously through you and your family and all the other farm videos I can find. So thank you for all you and your family do. Many of us love 💗 you and your family, keep your head held high as you deserve to. Yours sincerely, Mr. Arthur A. (Spud) Applegate Jr. (the Spudman)
You keep doing what your doing. Love your perfectly imperfect self. You are a joy to watch. Plus I get a kick out of seeing all that snow since I live in Alabama.
Hi Sandi from California! I grew up on a ranch, we had cattle in a big pasture, horses in a different pasture, a vineyard, a big barn with a huge mountain of hay bales for the horses when the winter rains made their pasture a lake. We had chickens in a coop, dogs and cats, and my little brother had rabbits in a hutch for his 4H project, and my little sister had a bunch of sheep--3 or 4 ewes who then had multiple babies. We had a big vegetable garden and a small orchard of fruit and nut trees. It was heaven for kids. And then .... I married a city slicker. And he moved me to a desert community where nothing grows. It's an ecological black hole and deep in my soul I'm so unfulfilled. My heart longs for the country again, fresh air, green grass, water from the sky, shade. When I watch your videos, I'm back in God's land, in my church. It does incredible good things for my starved soul and longing heart. I don't care how many times you do the same chores, that's what farm life is all about. I will never stop loving to watch your videos, I am vicariously back where I belong. Don't listen to naysayers. Just count your blessings and thank God that you are so very fortunate to have a great husband, son, daughter and farm life. =D You are loved and appreciated. P.S. Please adopt me. xoxoxoxo
Sandi - I notice you said: “ ...there’s this ‘person’ in my life...” - I am glad you didn’t call them a friend, bc with ‘friends’ like that, who needs enemies right?! This ‘person’ is disgusting and I’m glad you publicly called them on it!!
Agree!!
Sweetie... you can't please everybody... just know we enjoy and look forward to seeing you, your family, pups and sheep 🐑... Doing the normal things as a farmer/family, dealing with the life on a farm, good, bad, happy or sad... You are a special lady and what you do makes a difference to many... Stay strong, you are loved and appreciated... God Bless
I love watching your vlogs- I look forward to each and everyone- I don't care how often
I see them. :-)
Don’t worry Sandi, I, along with SO many others, love to watch what you do. Even if it’s cedaring 1,000 times, or weaning 1,000 times. There are always new events and PLENTY to learn from. We love you ❤️
Sandi we love hearing about all parts of the farm. I don’t mind how many times I watch lambing and weighing the lambs it’s very interesting
There never seems to be repeats. Every video I have learned something new. I have laughed, I have cried but I have never been bored.
Someone's rejection is God's protection. He's protecting you from the negativity. Keep being you
Girl, if that's something your "friend" has said to you, we need to get you new friends. No friend should EVER say that. She clearly doesn't value you or what you do.
I know this is an ancient video in youtube terms so you probably won't see it but I do want to let you know that there are so many of us who support you. Some are city folk and townies who have never been within 10km of livestock much less worked with them. Your videos allow a peek into that life and help people understand how much goes into every little step. I love that you give glimpses into the other side of farming with crops when it's planting and harvest time with Mark. For other farmers, It's a look into how other people do the same general industry or a look into other farming types.
I can't speak for others but I do love seeing into your life, the struggles, the successes, the family. It's not just about the farming, it's the whole big picture. Seeing you CIDR a sheep over and over is fine, because it's a part of the big picture and since it happens over and over it makes sense that we see it a couple of times a year. If people really don't like it they can always utilize the option to skip forward in the video.
Yah Carissa!! Glad you still have your super helper around. BTW whoever your “friend” is obviously not a real friend. 😏. Some people are just jealous Sandi. You’re an amazing woman with an unbelievable work ethic. Her crappy comment only speaks of her envy of your success. Keep doing you because you’re freaking amazing lady! 😘🥰❤️
That is so true. Only if you're jealous do you want to hurt someone else because they envious of your success. You always make me feel better. I love you for the person you are. I have the same issue with some " friends" and I don't do anything that they could be jealous of.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇 you are an angel 😇.
