People actually tell you what you should be doing?? If Mark wants to do the flooring with cottonwool, while naked and singing how much is that doggie in the window he shall! Do what you like and what suits you! I've been here for years and watched you grow, you're doing fine just being you!
As I watch and see how much WORK goes into your merchandise, I think some people seem pretty entitled getting upset because something isn't available. This isn't Amazon pumping out cargo ships full of merchandise. This is small businesses with limited resources putting out their heart and soul. Don't let the negative Nancy's with their panties in a bunch get you in down. God bless.
I've been watching for 5 yrs, and still haven't managed to score some merch. It's much more important that this works out, and I just love Sandi and fam. I'm so excited that it's going so well for them.
@jrowlove7328 Hopefully, she will (and is planning) to have some merchandise year round. Or DM me and I'll try to get something for you. I'm retired now, so am blessed to be there for the opening of most launches. I'm serious. I feel bad when someone misses out (even more when it is financial). I don't buy every time, but I love watching how quickly some things go. 4 minutes for some things last time! We all want to have a piece of the farm. I'm a Sandi groupie and just sat holding my special card that she touched and wrote my name. Isn't that silly for a 75 year old woman? Too bad. It is what it is. 🤭
So, so awesome that you have not only created a use and market for your wool but for other farmers as well. I remember years ago being quite sad that there wasn’t much call for wool. You have changed a bit of your community and beyond!
I was cleaning out my closet last week and found a wool suit I inherited. Unfortunately it no longer fits. The person who gave it to me bought it to wear to the Lamb and Wool producers' banquet. It is a classic style, so it can still be worn today. I wish it still fit.
I love when you say, 'I am doing this out here so the lams aren't attacking me,' and they are sticking there heads through looking at you as if to say, "Hey lady, what cha doin'!
I don't comment to often..But I have to let you know the 5 yr old little boy with handicaps and blind Totally loves when Your on . He so intentive to the sheep and lambs ..and your voice Thank you Sandi and Mark for bringing such Joy to him and his Nurse ❤
Sandi, you are a most sweet and lovely lady. I can't believe anyone would ever have anything bad to say about you. Please know that there are so many of us out here cheering you on, being educated and enjoying your show and your spirit.
I've been a sheepishly me fan for about 3 months. I've been recovering from mini-strokes and you have filled my boring life with happiness. Jumping lambs and lambs that cuddle are my highlights favorites and the Golden Girls make me wish humans were "put out to pasture so lovingly. You are the best! Don't let the haters get you down. They are just compensating for their own inadequacies.
I wasn't going to say anything, but I have a heart condition and I have been spending a lot of time in bed. Not only does Sandi entertain and educate us, but I am amazed by how strong she is, because that is something I am not.
@@cperhala8843Same here! I’m disabled and pretty much bed bound from EDS and I’ve been following her since Willow was born. Now she’s going to be a Momma again for the 3rd time I think!!
I understand the demand for the mugs. The design is perfect. From the colors to the simple sheep design. Beautiful. I'm sure it will be worth the wait for those who purchase them.😊
I did a literal happy dance when I was able to order one from the holiday launch. It's been my daily 'bucket of morning tea' mug since I got it. I'm hoping to get the second color at some point. Very comfortable handle and it's a great handwarmer on cooler mornings.❤
@@nataliegraham9552 I need to get one, then! This cold spell we have been going through for the past two or three weeks has kept my fingers chilled and my arthritis complaining. A warm mug would be just the thing.
I just wanted to say to you Sandi, thank you. I appreciate, immensely, that you share some of your life with the viewers and that you talk to us as though we are important to you.🤗
Yes! I feel like they are a part of the family. We cheer for them, pray for them, and get angry for them just like we do for our own. The Brock family is loved all the way from Houston, Texas ❤
Happy Thursday everyone! So excited for this video. Glad you got into your physio appointment. Oh and Sandi, you are not just a girl, You are one Amazing Woman, farmer, Shepard, and plumber. ❤
I can not lie - I was worried about the merch team hauling things up and down the stair and was suggesting slides or a pulley system etc - the I saw the garage door in the merch room and realized I need not have worried ! The Brock’s could not have planned out a building this well without having thought of everything I did and more ! Congratulations on creating the multi- purpose space !
I don't understand why anyone would think they were entitled to tell you how to do anything. You guys work so hard on so many different things. Thank you for sharing all those things with us. Wishing all of you the blessings you can handle.
The new spaces - offices, merch room, and wood shop - are coming together beautifully! I really like how you plan things out, have backup plans, and roll with whatever comes down the pike. 💪🏼 Those lambs have grown amazingly fast! You can be so proud of everything you’ve accomplished. ❤️ Teamwork makes the dream work. 👍🏼
Sandi, I love watching your videos. You keep us very informed. I want to thank you for that. And I love watching the babies run around. And I know you love that too. Thank you for sharing with us!
Did 1600 ft flooring/painting by myself and swore to never do anything DIY ever again 😂 my body was so trashed. In tears crying in pain. I don’t know how the pros do it for a living. They’re absolute Super athletes! You both do amazing, have a never ending will to just keep going.
I love watching the lambs run around in circles! And, please, you guys - protect your knees and backs! Knee pads and weight belts give some padding and support. Love to you all! ❤❤❤❤❤
20k for a feed cart? Who knew. Not me. You realize people spend that much on a fancy purse. Why? I have no idea. Thanks Sandi your videos always bring me joy.
What's more shocking is the financing for large equipment like this. You get 25 to 30 years to pay off your house. Farmers have 3 to 5 years to pay off the same amount for their equipment. Just food for thought.
Sandi I been watching you for years. My son is 10 years old and we watch your videos together. He is the last of our family farming. Every week he get a paycheck in his savings account for his farming. Thank you for everything
Sandi shows her expertise at DIY repairs. She's obviously had more hands-on time, than Cammy... Who is at the beginner stage of what is required to maintain a farm. There's no other way to learn this stuff except by doing it for yourself. There are few ways of earning a living, that require you to be a "Jack of all trades" more than farming.
I had a similar thought! For the many years Cammie has had growing up on a farm and working a farm, it’s kind of surprising how few DIY instincts he has acquired over the years.
Natural color wool blankets will be beautiful! I spin and sell natural color wool yarn from my sheep, it's fun to see people appreciate good quality. Glad to see your back is improving. Carolyn in Kansas.
I don’t just come for the sheep. I come to see what you and the family are doing. I love watching your build. I am building a craft studio. So it inspires me to watch yours.
Sandi, I love your face when you get excited! You look so tickled! Also, I don't make personal comments, but I wanted to tell you that your skin is beautiful! 🐑 🏡 🐑 🏡 🐑 🏡 🐑 🏡 🐑
Sandy, never,never say, Your just a Girl. Your not just anything! I think Your amazing. I bet there are equally as many Men who wouldn’t know how to fix that problem as Women. I sure couldn’t have done it! Give credit where it’s do.
Absolutely love yr content no matter what it shows. I'm currently in hospital n have been for 6 wks. Had a bad reaction to my cancer treatment. Once I felt well enough yrs was the first channel I turned to. Had to play catch up on vlogmas but the sounds of the lambs put a smile on my face and for that i really thank you. Wishing you and yr family every success and happiness. From Yorkshire. UK
The weaving terms you're looking for: *Warp* is the [usually] long threads thst run vertically. Weft is the [usually] shorter threads that run horizontaly through the warp threads. So: Canada wool are the warp threads & Sandi's wool will be the weft. Which sounds like an excellent blend & a metaphor for thr co-op....
How exciting to hear about the weft coming from Sandi’s sheep. I too am a weaver and have thought about using Her yarn as weft, but think I’ll wait to see if I can purchase the future blanket! Yeah for Sandi!
@karenj.5910 Or bottom to top on a vertical loom. Basically: a more specific definition would be the warp threads are those held taut on a loom & the weft are the threads woven through the warp threads.
The repair to the water line happen when you were not lambing, that was a good thing. - moving your room for the merchandise operation, I hope it is not harder to work in the new room. All keep well, love from Mike. ❤
Happy to hear the potential new feed cart plans tie into making sheep chores less problematic which lead into the possibility of more vay-cay for the Brocks! When you look at it that way, a new feed cart could be worth an extra $5 a day !
I could probably figure it out, but all the walking back and forth and especially if I have to hunt for tools or parts, well that gets my impatience in an uproar. So about that time I give up for the day and whine at my husband to save me .
And... funny. The captain's office is the corner office! Plus!! You always do something in winter... massive building type projects!! Love it. This channel is so wholseome. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
get some knee pads, Mark!! The kind with a hard plastic outer shell and generous cushioning inside are the best. You can use them for a lot of other jobs once the flooring is done.
I was just binge watching your videos and saw this . You , your sheep and the videos you make helps make my depression not so bad . Winter is my worst time . Thank you for all you do Sandi .
Have you seen The Clever Cowgirl? Her videos cheer me up as much as Sandi's. CC is a horse trainer in Montana. She recently rescued a big grey mare from an auction and her rehab has been amazing to watch.
Good for you for going to physiotherapy! My motto is borrowed from a hospital PT after a major MVA is this "you earn your recovery" meaning do all your exercises and stretches every day and when you can, and are up to it, try to do two a days. When you hit a plateau just reflect on your progress not your discouragement. Love how Mark and Sandi have carefully planned the new build so form follows function to best meet the current and futures needs of their AG business.
Sandi, I can say that I may wonder why you do something a certain way, but I will never question why you do something a certain way. We all have to figure out how to make our lives function to the best of our abilities, and what works for one person isn't necessarily the best for another. I really enjoy learning about sheep and farming from both you and Mark. You're both people of multiple talents. Hugs from New Mexico! 💕
Sandi is a remarkable woman. She has so many skills and it is such a privilege that she shares so much of the good, bad, sad and exciting times with us. I have had a few experiences with sheep during my life but who would have believed that I would become so invested in this flock? Not me. I have been an avid follower for years. Love my regular fixes with the Brock’s and the sheep and the tractors. ❤
Sandi, tyvm for sharing your journey with others. Even the everyday video is soothing 😌 like a friendship in a way with your life. Sure, we come for the sheep, but we all stay for the creative creator. Remember, we're just screen riders. You're so brave for blogging again, tyvm.
Hi Sandi, Tomorrow, my brother starts immuno therapy for stage four bone cancer. Please Sandy we prayed so hard for Jessica. We would like you to pray for my brother. Also, please thank you.
The weaving terms you're looking for are warp (up and down) and weft (side to side). Remember them by "warp speed ahead" and "you weave from right to weft"
Have you biggest poly mailer stuffed all the way full. And make a slide (cloth/tarp preferbly) to shipment trolleys, all the not breakable stuff in the poly mail can go down and out of the shipment room. So you only have the boxes that stack on pallets to take down with the forklift.
Just as a thought... when you mentioned blankets I remember that I have what the family always called "The Magic Blanket". My mother crocheted loads of circular pieces of wool and then sewed them into a blanket. Any time any of us had flu or a bad cold out would come the blanket and it did seem to help along with a hot drink of lemon water and aspirin with a tot of whisky.
While I do not watch for catastrophes, I DO enjoy watching you problem solve and repair! AND you cracked me up with the timing of ‘I’m just a girl’ 😂😂😂😂. I’m so appreciative of how much and what you share!
Oh, I love to see the sheep and even if its boring, few minutes of painting/ laying floors would not be too boring. Having said that, I also think you shouldn't feel obligated to share every minute of every day. We're honestly grateful for you, your family, your sheep, and everything you choose to share. 😊
I love watching everything you do around the farm. As you say the sheep are number one but seeing all of the behind the scenes of your day to day lives is exciting and fascinating. I’m exhausted just watching, so to see everything you and Mark do is awe inspiring. Then to add merch and UA-cam into the mix and still have your wonderful smile and kind words - wow!! Many thanks to you and your family, I can’t wait to see what’s next. 👏👏👏😊
I loved the closing with the 'lambnado' and the lambs popcorning, those little leaps and hops they do in mid stampede! Thank you for sharing you life with us! From an atypically cold North Carolina.
Oh, Sandi! I feel ya! Your back with all that bending & lifting to move the merch equipment. I hope your physio's close & that you book frequent sessions. Still recommend massage therapy! 💕💕
If you had a chance to redo your watering setup in the grow out barn, what would you try next? Running into issues with our watering and wanting ideas from a colder climate.
People actually tell you what you should be doing?? If Mark wants to do the flooring with cottonwool, while naked and singing how much is that doggie in the window he shall! Do what you like and what suits you! I've been here for years and watched you grow, you're doing fine just being you!

So: Canada wool are the warp threads & Sandi's wool will be the weft.

Do you weave? I weave on an Inkle loom. Ok, on 5 inkle looms. Why only have one? Right? 😅
How exciting to hear about the weft coming from Sandi’s sheep. I too am a weaver and have thought about using Her yarn as weft, but think I’ll wait to see if I can purchase the future blanket! Yeah for Sandi!
Warp threads go front to back, weft goes side to side.

Or bottom to top on a vertical loom.
Basically: a more specific definition would be the warp threads are those held taut on a loom & the weft are the threads woven through the warp threads.

Oh my gosh - I write ‘thank you very much’ all the time in comments- I’m copying/stealin tyvm to use from now on 😄👏👏👏👏👏tyvm !

I completely agree 😊 you are the best.
Yep, just a screen rider, not a creator, respect.
Your videos are so much like a friendship! Maybe that sounds odd, but you help me unwind, ty!
Nice work Mark, on the floors.
Hi Sandi, Tomorrow, my brother starts immuno therapy for stage four bone cancer. Please Sandy we prayed so hard for Jessica. We would like you to pray for my brother. Also, please thank you.
🙏 prayers for your brother's complete healing 💕💕
Prayers for him and your who.e family - from a Breast cancer survivor who learned a whole lot from watching Jess’s whole cancer journey!
The weaving terms you're looking for are warp (up and down) and weft (side to side).
Remember them by "warp speed ahead" and "you weave from right to weft"
Have you biggest poly mailer stuffed all the way full. And make a slide (cloth/tarp preferbly) to shipment trolleys, all the not breakable stuff in the poly mail can go down and out of the shipment room. So you only have the boxes that stack on pallets to take down with the forklift.
Just as a thought... when you mentioned blankets I remember that I have what the family always called "The Magic Blanket". My mother crocheted loads of circular pieces of wool and then sewed them into a blanket. Any time any of us had flu or a bad cold out would come the blanket and it did seem to help along with a hot drink of lemon water and aspirin with a tot of whisky.
When you weigh the cost of down time for the feed cart, versus time in use, it is probably worth a new one!
While I do not watch for catastrophes, I DO enjoy watching you problem solve and repair! AND you cracked me up with the timing of ‘I’m just a girl’ 😂😂😂😂. I’m so appreciative of how much and what you share!
Oh, I love to see the sheep and even if its boring, few minutes of painting/ laying floors would not be too boring. Having said that, I also think you shouldn't feel obligated to share every minute of every day. We're honestly grateful for you, your family, your sheep, and everything you choose to share. 😊
Thank you Sandi. I’ll see you next time ! Have a GREAT rest of your week ! ❄️⛄️💚🙃
I love watching everything you do around the farm. As you say the sheep are number one but seeing all of the behind the scenes of your day to day lives is exciting and fascinating. I’m exhausted just watching, so to see everything you and Mark do is awe inspiring. Then to add merch and UA-cam into the mix and still have your wonderful smile and kind words - wow!! Many thanks to you and your family, I can’t wait to see what’s next. 👏👏👏😊
Happy Thursday everyone, whose days get better when there is a new Sandi video. ❤❤❤
I loved the closing with the 'lambnado' and the lambs popcorning, those little leaps and hops they do in mid stampede!
Thank you for sharing you life with us! From an atypically cold North Carolina.
painting trim is a really good time to listen to music or a audio book. Painting trim is a new kind of hell.
Hi Sandi. Tell Mark that I love the color in his office with the color of the floor it’s a perfect match ❤️❤️. Take care of you ❤❤

Those bottle babies look really good!! They are going to enjoy stretching their legs when they get moved!!!
Prayers for the wonderful artist that is the mug lady, and the family issues.
I will wait as long as I have to to get a mug. It will be worth the wait!!
Oh, Sandi! I feel ya! Your back with all that bending & lifting to move the merch equipment. I hope your physio's close & that you book frequent sessions. Still recommend massage therapy! 💕💕
If you had a chance to redo your watering setup in the grow out barn, what would you try next? Running into issues with our watering and wanting ideas from a colder climate.
You are amazing at fixing things. "just a girl"....
