Sandy, you know what you’re doing we are not sheep farmers you are, so ignore the people that think they know your business better than you do. We trust you you know what you’re doing
If the replies to my post and your commenting on my comment I am not an "I AM NOT AN ARMCHAIR PERSON, HAVE HAD SHEEP FOR YEARS AS WELL AS CATTLE SO IDIOTS DONT KNOW ANY BETTER..... AND IT WAS JUST A HELPFull SUGGESTION NOT TELLING HER WHAT TO DO. "
Proof that Marc loves you. Helping with the water lines, making your favorite meal, making you smile with a little banter. We love to see it. You really are a great team.
@@oliviashuii364 Mark helps Sandi frequently as longtime subscribers can attest. Harvesttime, he's putting in 16+ hour-days trying to beat the weather.💕💕
If you have the time to start back at vlog #1, you will see Mark helping, as well as Jess and Jack doing his electrical magic. When Sandi broke her leg, Mark ran the whole show (but didn't video much), for 6 weeks. He also helps by being her sounding board and moral support, which she mentions often. Plus you'll watch her grow and learn along with her. I am almost caught up to where I started watching regularly (#625). It's been really good to see the events that she refers to in the past.
It was nice that you shared the ladies shearing your sheep. Great job you and Mark did preparing for the freeze. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing your world.
Sandi, there's always going to be keyboard experts who think they know what they are doing! You know your sheep better than any of us! You don't have to prove anything to anyone! I'm so glad the ewe is up and doing better! I've been thinking about her. You always do what's best! I'm glad you got the water lines figured out in the other barn. Mark is such a great helper. It looks so much better with the center lights working. I'm sure that will make things a little easier for you now that you can see more. Tell Mark to put the bill on your tab..lol That was so cool that the ladies came to shear the sheep! I think they did a great job! I love seeing the sheep right after they are sheared, they are so bright white. We are freezing here in Ohio! It's Sunday the 14th and it's 8F with the wind-chill it's negative 12! I hope you guys are staying warm! Stay blessed Sandi and Mark!!! I love you guys so very very much!!! 💖🥰❤️🤗🥶🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
GOOD MORNING SANDY YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THAT SHEEP, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND SHEEP'S🐑. 🤞 HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING GOING TO BE FINE WITH YOUR SHEEP 🙏🤞🐑
When you were talking about keeping the sheared sheep warm, I immediately pictured a bunch of sheep wearing colourful warm sweaters! I’m glad Miss mastitis is feeling better. You’ve taken such good care of her.
I didn't sense any hate coming from the advice. I think it's more Sandi-subscribers are intensely attached & want to help (as a retired nurse, I claim I'm not "bossy", just "aggressively helpful" 🤣) I know I fantasize about being able to help bottle-feed those squirmy little darlings w/their waggly tails! 💕💕
I agree! When people make suggestions on how to fix something when they don't have the info that you already tried it that hardly makes them a "hater"! People have gone overboard in using that term especially when it doesn't apply. I get tired of hearing that term thrown around. Sometimes, we are much too sensitive and hear criticism where there is none. I suppose that because I gave my opinion I am now a "hater".
Ok folks , this is taking it way way out of context !! That statement was not about hate , just a reference to something that was said or referred to …..
I’m sitting here in Colorado USA with a cup of hot tea, in -13 degree weather (Fahrenheit) ... I’m watching Sandi, then plan to watch SeantheSheepman in Scotland, then go down-under to Tara Acres. Will someone explain to me exactly why, as a cattle and horse rancher, I spend my Sundays watching sheep farmers? I can’t help myself.....
Well reading both yours and these 2 replies I feel extremely out of place here 😂 I'm from Indiana but grew up in California. I blame my farm addiction on the Indiana in me but I have no other relation to sheep or farmers. My grandpa and uncle were butchers and had horses so that's not even close to this content lmfao But hey! Look at us having a weird thing in common, I like us 😂
It's Sunday, must be time for Sandi and the sheep. That frigid weather we have right now. You know it's cold when the outdoor thermometer does not register. BRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 Mama with mastitis looks so much better. Mastitis is horrible in sheep and humans. Nice to see the lady shearers, we have a few here too. Have great week Mark and Sandi, stay warm.
Woah! I caught this 2 min after its out? Sending your family (and sheep) love from ours, you take such good care of these sheep and I love watching every video!
Great video Sandi!! So glad you have Mark to help you sometimes. The girls did a great job shearing. Very glad the mama sheep is getting better! Have a great week and try to stay warm!! 🥶💜
That was just a fun video! Glad to see your ewe is so much better. It's noon on Sunday the 14th, and it's -11, so I'm glad you winterized your water lines! ❤❤❤❤
Thank You Mark for the lights...now we can see better. Sandi...don't let people unmind you...the only time you should listen is if they tell to to shut the gate, LOL
Hi Sandi! Nice seeing you and Mark working together, that is part of farming. Hope Jess is doing well at college. You have shown us over and over how you handle taking care of the sheep, and when you need to, you call your vet. So be proud of yourself, your videos and knowledge of sheep caring is great. Blessings to you and Mark! ❤❤😊😊
Here in Missouri we are sitting at -5° . I pray this year is better for you and yo urs .Take care of yourself. I love seeing the interaction between you and Mark . It's sweet .
I cannot be the only one who swoons over the notion of a private, cozy cabin to spend time where seemingly chores don’t exist. The only hurdle is no bathroom. 😉😉. Portapotty in ‘24!
A great video! Your narration really keeps the prospective realistic with dry bits of humor. Have a great week. Glad to see you relaxing at your cabin.
Just getting my second cup of coffee going here in Southern California and there is a Sandi and sheep video! YAY! Love watching your vids! Love how sweet and caring you are with all your flock! 💓
I love you, and am so happy that our Downed Ewe ahs regained her feet too! I think people forget that every animal in your care has a value monetarily, and every time you must treat them, dose them, shear them etc, their value actually goes down, sometimes drastically. This brave, beautiful ewe is not a dollar amount to you tho, she's a suffering, living being and you're lovingly trying to ease her pain and bring her back to health and happiness, because it is simply the right thing to do, regardless of the cost to get her on her feet. I can see that you do love all your sheep, with a few exceptions [ewes that hate their own lambs or the like] yet you still treat them well and with love and respect for their beingness. Congrats on a wonderful ending of a scary, sad story for you and our Ewe!
Sandy the sheep that's had mastitis will you be able to breed with again or is it game over just curious ?.glad your winter ready in the other barn and the retired girls are looking great xx
You are my afternoon motivation before I head out to take care of my critters. 5°F (-15°c) here in Oklahoma. Which may not be as cold as others buts thats super cold for us southern birds! Hope you have a wonderful day!! ❤
Uh yeah I'm not even taking the trash out today. Thankfully my critters are all indoors. Mostly because nobody will let me turn my apartment porch into a chicken coop. Oh who am I kidding. This cold & the chickens would move inside. Not because they can't take it but I can't take it. Damn fibromyalgia.
I saw SHE SHEARS and thought YOU were going to attempt to shear! LOL I know you have said multiple times that shearing is not for you, but i thought you were giving it a try. Good to see the Ladies shearing. They did a great job!
So glad your mama sheep is back up, attention to details saved her for sure. So many things to do, it never seems to stop,lol, but I know you would much rather be busy. The ladies did a really nice job, so glad they were able to come, and I agree it's hard work and under appreciated. As always Sandi, your vlogs are the best, and I thank you for all the hard work you put into each and everyone. 🐑❤️👍
Wasn't Pita out with the Golden Girls when they got covered in burrs? Will their fleece be salvageable?? She looked so white, and so sleek after shearing! 🥰💕💕
This is so exciting that you are going to meet a maritimes!!!!!! Let’s go PEI!!!!! I’m from Nova Scotia so I got right excited!!!! And the lamb whose udder is very sick, she so looks so much better doing all the things that she’s doing!!!! That’s another exciting thing!!!!! Keep doing you Sandy because at the end of the day you’re doing what is best for your sheep’s!!!!! I do love watching the babies jump and play!!!! That makes my heart so warm and happy!!!!! Keep being boss lady!!!!! You got this!!!! And you have the people who have been watching you for a while behind you because I know that I couldn’t do what you are doing!!!!!
I know even if we don't see it that you do your very best for your animals I can see how much you care about them that is one of the main reasons I watch nearly all your videos you care ❤ don't listen to haters they always think they know better but you know your animals best always remember that ❤
Good filming Sandi, you are right about some people do not liked to be filmed or photographed, it is always better to ask first. Great seeing mark help out, returning a favour from when you help with the crops. Best wishes from Mike. ❤
Sandi, sadly, those people are “arm chair” quarterbacks…no experience but full of advice and “knowledge.”. The truth is - YOU are the expert. YOU have the knowledge AND the experience. Ignore them- you are amazing and wonderful. The love you have for your sheep is truly beautiful to behold. Thank you for sharing your life with us. My day is always brighter when there’s a new video from you. Blessings to you and your family.
Sandi I love your brilliant ballet with your tractor driving and then moving/sorting your sheep. Your dogs make me smile each know their jobs. You bring such joy to your followers thank you.
Hello, Sandi! Please delete any comments that are negative or from those who think they know better how to handle your flock than you. Not worth it, wasting energy on them. You are awesome! You work so hard and truly care about your animals, always doing what is best for them. Your normal day of work is so physically challenging. Glad that you all have the cabin to escape to at the end of the day. 😊
Snuggled with a few of my cats in bed while watching your vlog and sipping hot chocolate. Two high wind warnings in 3 days and cold! Wasn't supposed to snow til tomorrow, but nature has decided we need "bonus" snow. I disagree. It was great seeing Mark pay you back for all the help you give him in the fields. Nice to have two shelters working at the same time. Girl power!!!

you are looking at -12, we have now had 4 days of -34 to -40 here in Alberta. You are the best person to decide what needs to be done with your sheep! Keep up the good work!!!
I so much admire Sandi's dedication to taking care of the sheep. She doctored that sick sheep until it finally got stronger and was up on its feet by itself, then being back to normal eating etc. Yes, what a wonderful sheep farmer Sandi is.
Sandi❣️You have such a Big Bright Smile! Very Positive & Amazing! You are a Wonderful ‘Mom’ to your Sheep & Lambs! I love watching your channel! Thx for sharing w/your viewers. Stay Safe & Well…God Bless 🙏🐾
It’s even very cold down here in South Florida. I don’t think I’ve ever used my furnace continuously like I’ve been doing. Sandy and Mark stay warm and enjoy some downtime in your beautiful cabin.
So happy to see that momma up and about! You can see that she's got that spark back. I swear that you work miracles on your sheep, Sandi! I haven't missed a single video for a few years now, and I know so much about sheep and farming... all stuff that I'll never use. Lol! I don't care! I appreciate you and your hard-working family, and everything that you do! ❤
Hello Sandy. I was wondering if you put a board on the back side of the new feeder if it would keep the hay from falling out the back side. Was just thinking it would save you the work of cleaning up the hay that fell out. Just a thought. Thank you for filming. You bring me such joy.
I'm so glad to see momma standing and feeling better. Good luck with this cold snap. I'm in Colorado, and it's so cold. I'm staying in my house as I can't handle the cold. To old for this weather. I remember laughing at my mom, saying she was cold, now I'm sorry I did, payback for laughing at her.
Sue, me too! Staying in by the fire and only going out to replace/reheat food I have out for local stray cats. I did go this morning and pick up a couple of insulated cat shelters that I ordered. This weather is brutal!
@@MelanieCravensawww, that’s so awesome to take care of the stray cats. I wish more people were as caring about the strays all over the world as you are! There would be far less of them suffering and dying alone on the streets.. It truly breaks my heart to see and hear of such tragedy.. Thank you for being a animal loving soul, this world is in dire need of more people like you ❤❤❤
❤ 0:11 thank you for sharing the historical wisdom. IMO we can tell that Mark & Sandi are not only each other's helpmates, but have enormous respect for each other's strengths. As well as the joy of teasing each other!😅 💕
Sandi don’t let the Monday morning quarterbacks upset you. We know that you’re doing the best you know how. And we see the compassion you have for your ladies. And while I was watching this video, you said I’m gonna give the mastitis patient some more painkiller. I can’t tell you how many times I have had professionals say to me after what other orthopedic surgeries I’ve had, I’m a klutz. If I ask for my pain medicine, five minutes too early, they said you can’t have it now it’s too early. And for you to actually go out of your way to make sure that the young lady with mastitis had some on board for her pain ever since you noticed there was a problem. You are an extremely caring person, which is a wonderful thing to be.Kathy ❤
We all love you & you are the sweetest lady & I look forward to your videos. My boyfriend jokes with me ,about how I talk about you & mark & jess & jack. Plus your furbabies. I tell him you’re my video family.. I grew up on a cow farm & watching you heals my heart since my older family are all gone. Love watching Belinda too. NC lady
A husband whose multiple talents include carpentry, mechanical, electrical, plumbing & Mongolian beef (& looks so handsome in his new work clothes!) Whoo-hoo! a match made in heaven! (o.k. I think it was actually U of Guelph) Two lovely people found each other & share their lives w/us! Lucky us! 🥰🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕
SANDI LOVE TO SEE YOU AND MARK TOGETHER. YOUR EMPTY NESTERS I THINK. THR CABIN SEEMS TO BE A GOOD RELIEF FOR YOU, GUYS. LOVE YOUR SMILE AND OPTIMISM. YOU MAKE MY SUNDAY BETTER. LOVE TO THE BROCK FAMILY! GBY'ALL ❤
Good warm morning from Nevada, well, figurative speaking, a lot warmer than where Sandi is. Being Canadian I miss, not miss the snow and cold, just watching Sandi and how cold she looks reminds how ugly winters can be in Canada. Glad to see the mewe is up and moving around, her utter looked terribly soar...well done girl for getting her back on her hooves. Lol. Try and stay warm all...have a cocktail for me Sandi, looks like Mark is a awesome mixologist..teehee. 🍾🥂🐑🐑🥶
Wish Mark could teach my husband to cook, lol Unfortunately the snow and cold started for us fri night and still going . ❤ Thanks for the video's Love watching the babys from Stratford Ont
What great news seeing that Mama back up on her feet! So much preparation for your winter barn, wow. I'm glad you and Mark ended your day at the cabin. Date away from home.❤
Sorry Sandi for making suggestion. We don’t see what is going on backstage 😊 I’m sure this isn’t your first bout with ewe mastitis. I just have this medical mind and it was a challenge thinking way back to university in the ‘70’s. We know you would be on top of stuff, you are such caring farmer. So lovely to see that.
Has anyone else noticed that Piper does not try her teenage tricks w/Kinsey? I saw Kinsey put a quick paw on Piper's head when they were outside. Kinsey is definitely the matriarch!💕💕
Well she looks so much better. ( Miss mastitis. ) You are such a caring lamb 🐑 owner. Hopefully she is on the mend. Makes my day to see the baby’s growing up. I never doubt you do everything for the lambs. Thank you for all you do.
So so happy to see the mastitis Mama better. Question: what will happen to her udder now? To see the inside workings of a farm is so interesting to me. The ending at the cozy cabin and Piper falling into bed…another day of her keeping tabs on things. Lol
The udder will not recover from gangrene. Sandi has succeeded in fending off sepsis & the ewe is exhibiting all the signs of healing: up on her feet, staying on her feet, drinking, eating, peeing, pooping. If you watch to the end of the vlog, Sandi tells us her lambs must have found ewes willing to share because they're not squawking ('chirping"). Sandi said the next time she sorts these ewes, this ewe will be culled & go to the sales barn . Sad but it's the cycle of life 💕💕
@@elainerempel1613 thank you. I didn’t remember her saying about the sale barn. It is sad, but I guess that is life! As a city girl I would want to keep them all.
All that light! Golden girls with extra room and a little ease to feed! You are amazing and are always thinking ahead, even if we do not know it. Keep on, keeping on
I never thought I'd get out of this channel the plethora of benefit that I have gotten. Including, discovering that husbands like Sandi's sure come in handy! Anybody know where they grow those? I've never had the pleasure! Lol! ❤😂😊
Is there a farmers' dating app? And how many of us could thrive under Sandi's work load? I agree Renaissance men like my Dad & Mark seem to be in short supply. 💕💕
@@loriweitzel I feel ya! Maybe 1 crterion being a Sandi-subscriber? Some of my deal-breakers are denying climate change, vaccinations, the 1619 Project... yeah, I'm picky. Bleeding heart liberal entrenched by over 30 years nursing 💕
@@elainerempel1613 I was in healthcare for 23 years... maybe that's why we relate. I'm quite fine without a male partner but when I see ones like Mark seems to be, I can't help but wonder if he's a unicorn lol!
It's great to see that poor sick ewe back on her feet and feeling feisty again. Even Piper took her warnings seriously. Great work Sandi! I've always wondered how much of the head butting that lambs and calves do to udders, contribute to the damage of lumps and mastitis.
I wondered about that, too. Mostly from extrapolating personal experience nursing my son; I bumped my chest into the corner of our coffee table, dodging a puppy underfoot, and my OB/GYN said that was likely what set me up for mastitis. Besides meds, I actually got a lot of relief from cabbage leaves applied topically (suggested by a midwife buddy). I know it’s normal for lambs, calves, and other baby mammals to bump their mama’s udder…. but it sure looks like the baby animals get pretty rough as they grow.
We are having a scarey cold snap here in NW Oregon USA. Right now 17 degrees. It never gets this cold here. It gets very cold in the mountains around us but not in low elevations. All roads are icey and dangerous. Some snow. Extreme weather conditions! Small businesses are closed. Dangerous to drive on the ice. What has man done to the earth? 🌏 🌨 🥶
-47 with windchill here in Edmonton. Finally got some snow so small hope for lessening of drought. Our premier is one of the science-denyers. She's invited Tucker Carlson here 😝
After watching other Shepherds, you keep the cleanest barns, are easiest on helping your Ewes lamb, know how to medically treat them very well (esp cold lamb), and I hav a new found respect for you & your operation. I think people that post negative stuff are just naive instead of picking on you. If they watch the best first, they hav no frame of reference.
That Piper cracks me up. When she was climbing through the fence it was so funny.. The lady sheep shearers were so good. Every time you have that done, I can’t help but think what a hard physical back breaking job that is.
Sandy, you know what you’re doing we are not sheep farmers you are, so ignore the people that think they know your business better than you do. We trust you you know what you’re doing
That's right! Well said!
You know your sheep and what you do. Two fingers up for the armchair experts!

Yay! Sunday Sandi❤ A welcome break from shoveling massive amounts of snow here in southern Idaho. 🥶❄️🐑🐏
Sandi has been wonderful break time between shoveling snow trips here in Boise.
@@ib-fine Here in Caldwell too. ❤
I lived in Mountain Home 4.5 years, I remember being glad when it warmed up enough to snow . . .
So glad your mama sheep is back up, attention to details saved her for sure. So many things to do, it never seems to stop,lol, but I know you would much rather be busy. The ladies did a really nice job, so glad they were able to come, and I agree it's hard work and under appreciated. As always Sandi, your vlogs are the best, and I thank you for all the hard work you put into each and everyone. 🐑❤️👍
Wasn't Pita out with the Golden Girls when they got covered in burrs? Will their fleece be salvageable?? She looked so white, and so sleek after shearing! 🥰💕💕
This is so exciting that you are going to meet a maritimes!!!!!! Let’s go PEI!!!!! I’m from Nova Scotia so I got right excited!!!! And the lamb whose udder is very sick, she so looks so much better doing all the things that she’s doing!!!! That’s another exciting thing!!!!! Keep doing you Sandy because at the end of the day you’re doing what is best for your sheep’s!!!!! I do love watching the babies jump and play!!!! That makes my heart so warm and happy!!!!! Keep being boss lady!!!!! You got this!!!! And you have the people who have been watching you for a while behind you because I know that I couldn’t do what you are doing!!!!!
I know even if we don't see it that you do your very best for your animals I can see how much you care about them that is one of the main reasons I watch nearly all your videos you care ❤ don't listen to haters they always think they know better but you know your animals best always remember that ❤
Other nice day! A Sandi video! I’m sitting here watching while the snow and wind blow, and another advisory just popped up on my screen. 🥶❄️🌲💚🙃
Love your videos, looking forward to many more. hugs from Sweden.
Good filming Sandi, you are right about some people do not liked to be filmed or photographed, it is always better to ask first. Great seeing mark help out, returning a favour from when you help with the crops.
Best wishes from Mike. ❤
Sandi, sadly, those people are “arm chair” quarterbacks…no experience but full of advice and “knowledge.”. The truth is - YOU are the expert. YOU have the knowledge AND the experience. Ignore them- you are amazing and wonderful. The love you have for your sheep is truly beautiful to behold. Thank you for sharing your life with us. My day is always brighter when there’s a new video from you. Blessings to you and your family.
Sandi I love your brilliant ballet with your tractor driving and then moving/sorting your sheep. Your dogs make me smile each know their jobs. You bring such joy to your followers thank you.
Sandi Your such a beautiful hard working woman,glad Mark was able help get things done before your artic blast.
So glad she up and walking an eating
Hello, Sandi! Please delete any comments that are negative or from those who think they know better how to handle your flock than you. Not worth it, wasting energy on them. You are awesome! You work so hard and truly care about your animals, always doing what is best for them. Your normal day of work is so physically challenging. Glad that you all have the cabin to escape to at the end of the day. 😊
The only good thing about them is that they help the algorithm...a comment is a comment in their book SMH!
Thank You Mark
Thank You, Thank You
Sure is nice seeing in the barn across the way ❤
Snuggled with a few of my cats in bed while watching your vlog and sipping hot chocolate. Two high wind warnings in 3 days and cold! Wasn't supposed to snow til tomorrow, but nature has decided we need "bonus" snow. I disagree. It was great seeing Mark pay you back for all the help you give him in the fields. Nice to have two shelters working at the same time. Girl power!!!
Edit...shearers, not shelters. My brain has frozen!
It was the auto-corrects fault 😂😂😂 you are just fine! 😊

Wishing all the best to you regarding the water lines. Glad the ewe is healing up. My heart breaks looking at the necrosis.
Big shout out to Amber from PEI. From Trevor and family from PEI 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. Great she was able to meet the amazing Brock family.
Always impressed by your love and work ethic! Keep smiling, hugs.
you are looking at -12, we have now had 4 days of -34 to -40 here in Alberta. You are the best person to decide what needs to be done with your sheep! Keep up the good work!!!
Those sheep look so skinny with the wool off! Mark is such a great husband!
I so much admire Sandi's dedication to taking care of the sheep. She doctored that sick sheep until it finally got stronger and was up on its feet by itself, then being back to normal eating etc. Yes, what a wonderful sheep farmer Sandi is.
Sandi❣️You have such a Big Bright Smile! Very Positive & Amazing! You are a Wonderful ‘Mom’ to your Sheep & Lambs! I love watching your channel! Thx for sharing w/your viewers. Stay Safe & Well…God Bless 🙏🐾
It’s even very cold down here in South Florida. I don’t think I’ve ever used my furnace continuously like I’ve been doing. Sandy and Mark stay warm and enjoy some downtime in your beautiful cabin.
Happy New Year Sandi!!! Prayers and love to your family from MN!!
So happy to see that momma up and about! You can see that she's got that spark back. I swear that you work miracles on your sheep, Sandi! I haven't missed a single video for a few years now, and I know so much about sheep and farming... all stuff that I'll never use. Lol! I don't care! I appreciate you and your hard-working family, and everything that you do! ❤
I am so happy to see your sick ewe up and feeling better, mastitis is painful... Sandi you rock❤
Hello Sandy.
I was wondering if you put a board on the back side of the new feeder if it would keep the hay from falling out the back side. Was just thinking it would save you the work of cleaning up the hay that fell out. Just a thought. Thank you for filming. You bring me such joy.
Oh yah! Sandi's here. I was just getting ready to take a shower. .but it can wait .
My back aches just thinking about being in that position for hours! Never mind a career of being a sheerer. Kudos for taking on it on!
I'm so glad to see momma standing and feeling better. Good luck with this cold snap. I'm in Colorado, and it's so cold. I'm staying in my house as I can't handle the cold. To old for this weather. I remember laughing at my mom, saying she was cold, now I'm sorry I did, payback for laughing at her.
Sue, me too! Staying in by the fire and only going out to replace/reheat food I have out for local stray cats. I did go this morning and pick up a couple of insulated cat shelters that I ordered. This weather is brutal!
@@MelanieCravensawww, that’s so awesome to take care of the stray cats. I wish more people were as caring about the strays all over the world as you are! There would be far less of them suffering and dying alone on the streets.. It truly breaks my heart to see and hear of such tragedy.. Thank you for being a animal loving soul, this world is in dire need of more people like you ❤❤❤
❤ 0:11 thank you for sharing the historical wisdom. IMO we can tell that Mark & Sandi are not only each other's helpmates, but have enormous respect for each other's strengths. As well as the joy of teasing each other!😅 💕
Sandi don’t let the Monday morning quarterbacks upset you. We know that you’re doing the best you know how. And we see the compassion you have for your ladies. And while I was watching this video, you said I’m gonna give the mastitis patient some more painkiller. I can’t tell you how many times I have had professionals say to me after what other orthopedic surgeries I’ve had, I’m a klutz.
If I ask for my pain medicine, five minutes too early, they said you can’t have it now it’s too early. And for you to actually go out of your way to make sure that the young lady with mastitis had some on board for her pain ever since you noticed there was a problem. You are an extremely caring person, which is a wonderful thing to be.Kathy
❤
So true!
Why does it look like there falling in love again! Yall look so much more relaxed ❤! And 2 sweet love birds....teasing each other, real love!❤
Loved it. Glad Mark could help with the water lines. Love watching you sandy
We all love you & you are the sweetest lady & I look forward to your videos. My boyfriend jokes with me ,about how I talk about you & mark & jess & jack. Plus your furbabies. I tell him you’re my video family.. I grew up on a cow farm & watching you heals my heart since my older family are all gone. Love watching Belinda too. NC lady
Glad your Ewe is u and getting around good, your cabin looks warm and cozy for this time of the year, looks beautiful 🤗❤️
A husband whose multiple talents include carpentry, mechanical, electrical, plumbing & Mongolian beef (& looks so handsome in his new work clothes!) Whoo-hoo! a match made in heaven! (o.k. I think it was actually U of Guelph) Two lovely people found each other & share their lives w/us! Lucky us! 🥰🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕
As one animal owner to another, Sandi we can see that you really care for your sheep and you do what's right for them. Ignore the naysayers.
I've no place to comment it's 26 below here in Midwest Illinois
SANDI LOVE TO SEE YOU AND MARK TOGETHER. YOUR EMPTY NESTERS I THINK. THR CABIN SEEMS TO BE A GOOD RELIEF FOR YOU, GUYS. LOVE YOUR SMILE AND OPTIMISM. YOU MAKE MY SUNDAY BETTER. LOVE TO THE BROCK FAMILY! GBY'ALL ❤
Good warm morning from Nevada, well, figurative speaking, a lot warmer than where Sandi is. Being Canadian I miss, not miss the snow and cold, just watching Sandi and how cold she looks reminds how ugly winters can be in Canada. Glad to see the mewe is up and moving around, her utter looked terribly soar...well done girl for getting her back on her hooves. Lol. Try and stay warm all...have a cocktail for me Sandi, looks like Mark is a awesome mixologist..teehee. 🍾🥂🐑🐑🥶
Wish Mark could teach my husband to cook, lol
Unfortunately the snow and cold started for us fri night and still going . ❤
Thanks for the video's
Love watching the babys from Stratford Ont
Sunday with Sandy and hot tea and sheep!! So wonderful 💖
You are such a baddie!!!!! Such an inspiration to women everywhere!❤
Sandi, please dont listen to ppl criticism. You know what to do, and when you don't, you reach out to vets and other ppl who KNOW❤
I'll take what my Veterinarian School taught me
What great news seeing that Mama back up on her feet! So much preparation for your winter barn, wow. I'm glad you and Mark ended your day at the cabin. Date away from home.❤
I look forward to seeing you, your family, and your sheep whenever you put out a video. Thanks for the updates.
Sorry Sandi for making suggestion. We don’t see what is going on backstage 😊 I’m sure this isn’t your first bout with ewe mastitis. I just have this medical mind and it was a challenge thinking way back to university in the ‘70’s. We know you would be on top of stuff, you are such caring farmer. So lovely to see that.
Aww Grandbaby Piper all tuckered out on her red checked doggie bed! 😄Almost as cute as the wee lambs snuggled up to Mama! :😌💕💕
Has anyone else noticed that Piper does not try her teenage tricks w/Kinsey? I saw Kinsey put a quick paw on Piper's head when they were outside. Kinsey is definitely the matriarch!💕💕
Well she looks so much better. ( Miss mastitis. ) You are such a caring lamb 🐑 owner. Hopefully she is on the mend. Makes my day to see the baby’s growing up. I never doubt you do everything for the lambs. Thank you for all you do.
So so happy to see the mastitis Mama better. Question: what will happen to her udder now? To see the inside workings of a farm is so interesting to me. The ending at the cozy cabin and Piper falling into bed…another day of her keeping tabs on things. Lol
The udder will not recover from gangrene. Sandi has succeeded in fending off sepsis & the ewe is exhibiting all the signs of healing: up on her feet, staying on her feet, drinking, eating, peeing, pooping. If you watch to the end of the vlog, Sandi tells us her lambs must have found ewes willing to share because they're not squawking ('chirping"). Sandi said the next time she sorts these ewes, this ewe will be culled & go to the sales barn . Sad but it's the cycle of life 💕💕
@@elainerempel1613 thank you. I didn’t remember her saying about the sale barn. It is sad, but I guess that is life! As a city girl I would want to keep them all.
All that light!
Golden girls with extra room and a little ease to feed!
You are amazing and are always thinking ahead, even if we do not know it.
Keep on, keeping on
Love your videos your awesome!!!
I never thought I'd get out of this channel the plethora of benefit that I have gotten. Including, discovering that husbands like Sandi's sure come in handy! Anybody know where they grow those? I've never had the pleasure! Lol! ❤😂😊
Is there a farmers' dating app? And how many of us could thrive under Sandi's work load? I agree Renaissance men like my Dad & Mark seem to be in short supply. 💕💕
@@elainerempel1613 actually there IS a farmer's dating app or website. But I don't want one because they're a farmer, just one that's a decent human!
Men like mark are grown in the country doing country work 🙃 they are in short supply though!
@@loriweitzel I feel ya! Maybe 1 crterion being a Sandi-subscriber? Some of my deal-breakers are denying climate change, vaccinations, the 1619 Project... yeah, I'm picky. Bleeding heart liberal entrenched by over 30 years nursing 💕
@@elainerempel1613 I was in healthcare for 23 years... maybe that's why we relate. I'm quite fine without a male partner but when I see ones like Mark seems to be, I can't help but wonder if he's a unicorn lol!
I know this may sound silly, but when you round the ewes up, maybe they're thinking, " what's on the agenda for today, ladies?
It's great to see that poor sick ewe back on her feet and feeling feisty again. Even Piper took her warnings seriously. Great work Sandi! I've always wondered how much of the head butting that lambs and calves do to udders, contribute to the damage of lumps and mastitis.
I wondered about that, too. Mostly from extrapolating personal experience nursing my son; I bumped my chest into the corner of our coffee table, dodging a puppy underfoot, and my OB/GYN said that was likely what set me up for mastitis. Besides meds, I actually got a lot of relief from cabbage leaves applied topically (suggested by a midwife buddy). I know it’s normal for lambs, calves, and other baby mammals to bump their mama’s udder…. but it sure looks like the baby animals get pretty rough as they grow.
We are having a scarey cold snap here in NW Oregon USA. Right now 17 degrees. It never gets this cold here. It gets very cold in the mountains around us but not in low elevations. All roads are icey and dangerous. Some snow. Extreme weather conditions! Small businesses are closed. Dangerous to drive on the ice. What has man done to the earth? 🌏 🌨 🥶
-47 with windchill here in Edmonton. Finally got some snow so small hope for lessening of drought. Our premier is one of the science-denyers. She's invited Tucker Carlson here 😝
Kudos to the lady shearers!
Passports ?? Where are you and mark going ??? I hope and know you have fun and you all deserve a getaway!!!
Those sheep liked so different after they were shared . Hope you don't have problems with the weather. God bless you from Michigan ❤️ ❤❤
I love zip ties too! Seeing the number you use I think I’ll buy stock in zip ties😅😅
Glad your mastitis sheep is up and about!
After watching other Shepherds, you keep the cleanest barns, are easiest on helping your Ewes lamb, know how to medically treat them very well (esp cold lamb), and I hav a new found respect for you & your operation. I think people that post negative stuff are just naive instead of picking on you. If they watch the best first, they hav no frame of reference.
That Piper cracks me up. When she was climbing through the fence it was so funny..
The lady sheep shearers were so good. Every time you have that done, I can’t help but think what a hard physical back breaking job that is.
