The comment from your friend keeps playing in my head ... it bothers me because I don't care how many times I watch you do chores or clean out pens or sort sheep or anything I enjoy this because it's therapeutic as much as educational. It's a release from my daily life that I and so many other look forward to. Also the pack clear up is so satisfying 😌
I would never say something like that to a friend....I’m just saying. I was raised on a dairy farm...and I’m never bored watching Sandi and I learn a lot ! I think it’s someone she knows....I most certainly wouldn’t call them a friend. Just an opinion from an old lady ❤️
Not a farmer. My sister and her husband had a sheep farm in another country. I knew it was hard work, but I didn't KNOW it was hard work. You know? Sandi even looks a little like my sister. I don't know why YT suggested it, but I subscribed and have been enjoying hopping around the videos. I love the lambs and clean ups. I live for a time-lapse clean up. Keep doing what you're doing, Sandi! :)
Carissa is a good worker. It deserves a mention. Loved watching you handling the machine. Yes, we ARE interested in your day to day work. The GoPro was a good idea. Thank you, my friend.
Hi Sandi!! I graduated my Farming course at the sheep farm in December, I got a rare achievement/certificate only 1 person gets a year :) I couldn't do it without your help with the videos and teaching me through videos
Doesn’t matter how many times I see you clean the sheep pens, I love watching!! Something very satisfying about it!! Thank you for sharing everything you do...You Rock Out Loud, Sista! ❤️🐑
I’m a weird one, I absolutely love passing thru farm country or going to state fair because of the overall farm animal smell. Most people I know wrinkle their noses, but it just makes me happy for some reason-maybe because I get to see cows and horses!
aww so sweet Lucy when she realized what was happening. She just plopped down and stayed as little as she could. Smart brave lil girl!! the sheep actually did everything they could to not trample her... GOOD sheep.
Especially the one following the herd who suddenly jerked, made a perfect standing vertical jump and then lunged forward. She probably saved Lucy's life. Thank you from all of us, you gooood little sheepie!
When I was a youngster, the sheep bedding had to be cleaned out by hand with pitchforks. It was a labor intensive and smelly job. A bobcat would have been a nice luxury.
@@cathiwim certainly not. We only had a small flock, 30 - 40. Wasn't the primary concern. Dairy was the main business, which kept us pretty busy. Everything was a lot more manual in those days.
@@Wildrose1712 practically slave labor. I don't remember what cash I was paid, but room and board were included. Some of my fondest memories come from that time.
Isn't she the best!! It's now April 2022 and I just posted a comment about how I love that Sandi has so much respect and really listens to Carissas ideas!! Carissa is truly a god sent!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
I’m so happy you got the new aluminum gates/fences. Please record installing them? Loved watching you cleaning and bedding. Great job to you and Clarissa. Go pro was great. Thanks Sandi.
Your operation is so interesting no matter what you are doing. Lucy is a smart dog to stay huddled in one spot til the ewes had passed. Thought she was going to get hurt. Luck was on her side for sure.
I noticed several sheep actually jumped over Lucy. Such a brave pup. I wonder what Kensey would have done. Another great video. And another job well done😁
I think Kinsey is large enough to easily jump the fence or the sheep. As much hopping in and out of bunks and pens as she does already, the only problem Might be getting space to "launch". lol.
@@pstill9618 If the first sheep jumps, the rest will often to the same, even if there is no reason to do it. The dog could have gotten out of the way and a lot of them would have still jumped. I have seen that a lot.
My friend’s daughter (32 years old) had the genius idea of buying 200 acres and starting a goat farm. This is a 9-5 city girl who can’t remember to feed her dog every day. I recommended that she watch a few days out of your life of non-stop physical work for 16+hour days. No time off. No snow days, no time off for rain, everybody still needs to be cared for no matter what the weather or how bad your headache is. I think you are the perfect example of how hard work pays off, but you have to to be all in for the animals. You and your family are admirable people and I love watching you every day.

I don't come from a farming background (I work in Financial Services, yawn!) but I've been following your journey throughout lockdown and I'm hooked.

Ya, Sandi is great at making videos that even people like us who have no idea or background in farming find them entertaining. Its mostly Sandi and her interaction with the animals that I like to see.
Sandi has helped so many people get through all the lockdowns!! Sandi, Carissa, Mark, Jess, Sandi and Mark's son(can't remember his name) and all the sheep are a true blessing during this God awful time our World is in!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤ Edit: How dare I forget the dogs!!! Lol
Hi Sandi! I love your videos. Every time you post one I know I'm gonna get content that I will enjoy. I really like your farm and every time you feel down I gain more respect for you. I can just see how determined you are to keep your sheep happy and healthy and also keep making videos and it is so inspiring to see that your sheep and community are so important to you. Honestly though, I love the sometimes repetitive nature of your videos because I know what I'm gonna get and I love that you are a constant in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Much love from across the pond! Jacks
What a delightful video! Well filmed, well edited 🙂 Me, screaming at my tv during the ewes crossing back, and in that last shot: "UDDER!!!! UDDER!!! THAT ONE HAS AN UDDER!!!"
I was just thinking the same thing. How you got Lucy to be Mark's dog & run the fields & keep him company in the tractors. Yet it didnt turn out that way so much. We always see Lucy with you and the sheep learning to be a sheep dog. And she is always so entertaining with her antics. Though when you are in the tractors in the fields, Lucy climbs right up in that tractor with you & curls up in her spot you've made for her & rides along with you all day. It's obvious how much you love your animals. And obvious they reciprocate that love & are drawn to you. That's a special gift to have & we love watching the daily interactions between you & your animals. Every evening I excitedly pick up my phone to look to see if you've posted a new video. As so many of do, I look forward to & enjoy each and every one.🐑💗
I can not stop thinking about that book you made for your kids. I want it for my littles. We love stories about strong, cool women that do all things. Also we (being city folks) are super interested in all things farm, homesteading, and in the country. You are such a rockstar to us, Sandi!🤩🤩🤩🥰
Three camera positions including the Telehandler POV is more than we deserve. You are spoiling us. Lucy is a brave dog. I am glad she stayed put and that the sheep were aware and didn't hurt her. She seems like a great addition to the family.
I think carisa ought to start a channel called the barn life and take us through what it takes to be a farm hand as to what she is studying and what kind of schooling it takes and what she does on the farm
Clarissa has worked a lot with you. I've wondered if you ever asked her if she would do anything different in your usually routine. You both seem to work very well together. Thanks for sharing your cleaning day. So glad little pup didn't get hurt. ❤️
@@carolynchadwick7867 I wonder which diseases? Because birds and mice carry lots of diseases too and are much harder to keep track of then a cat or two.
I love watching clean out with the telehandler! It’s so satisfying and restful - I know that it will benefit the sheep and make wonderful fertilizer for the fields in the spring.
I love how you explained about the warmth from the pack. I grew up on a dairy and my dad never explained why we did things, so I know we did them, but never knew the reasons behind it. It makes so much sense coming from you!
Loved the go pro footage. It was so relaxing and satisfying to watch. Made my day better after a couple of rough days back to back! Thank you for being here!
Sandi. Nothing more satisfying than a clean barn. Plus having the correct equipment makes it even better. If it makes our animals happy it is all worth it!! Love your channel. I have learned so much in raising my small flock. The more we watch the same thing the better we learn. Never get tired of watching the barn being cleaned, the weaning, vaccinations, etc. Keep up the good work. You are amazing and a real person. Thanks for all you do.
As always, that telehandler in those narrow pens scares the crap out of me; if I was driving, I'd constantly be banging against the walls. I can't wait to see the new gates in the other barn, they look snazzy. It's great seeing all these new upgrades you've been getting lately.
@@amorin329 yep! I'm curious of the number though too! Since there's only maybe 75 sheep in that pen, and the pack buildup is only two months or so from what she said in the video
Lucy just stayed in her spot as the ewes avoided her.. that was awesome to watch, and scary at the same time. But thankfully, all ended well!! I so love watching you clean out the barn, and being able to watch from this new angle today was AWESOME!!! Boy does that manure steam!!! Such nutrient rich compost for your fields too... nothing better than your own home grown compost, even if it is a huge steamy pile of dung!!! This video was so enjoyable on many levels. Thank you for giving us the extra view, your view, of cleaning out!!! I enjoyed it so much!!! My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
Happy ending from a dangerous situation. Both Lucy and the sheep should have been rewarded. I've watched and laughed at all of the videos that show the baby lambs running and jumping. Who would have thought that playing would help save Lucy's life. Thank you sheep for jumping over Lucy and Lucy for laying up against the wall and not moving.
Poor Lucy. She must have been scared with all those ewes running past her and jumping over her. That little Bobcat is an amazing vehicle! It is amazing how much you really do use it.
That grappler bucket totally needs some giant googly eyes. Sandi if i sent you some would you put them on the bucket??? Thatd look so funny and im sure make everyone giggle on cleanout days
Great Go-Pro footage; superb, varying, placement of the camera. Who’d have thought watching the clear-out could be so therapeutic. We all thank your back, shoulder and chiropractor!
What a clever and brave little sweetheart Lucy is! She glued herself to the wall and made herself even smaller. Thabk goodness she wasn't hurt. The sheep seemed to know to dodge her. I love your channel after recently discovering it. Keep up the content. Its actually a great way for me to relax!
Ah! A freshly clean and well bedded pen is oh sooo satisfying! 😌😌😌 We try to keep our sheep holding area (corral🙄) as fresh and clean as well. A farmer knows when their sheep are happy and satisfied. Them some happy sheep there!🤗🤗🤗
I find it so satisfying when you are moving sheep and making pens but, cleaning that lane with the steam rising and the telehandler chomping into that thick layer was mesmerizing. I bet you wish you could go fast forward in real life when you are editing! Lucy was brilliant when she realized she was in a traffic jam, minimize, minimize! I admire you so much, you rock!💕🇨🇦
It's so fun to watch your mad telehandler skills! It has to make you feel good to know the sheep will have nice clean beds and that you are all ready for the lambing to begin. Those ewes were so good to not trample poor scared Lucy. It's a good thing they're afraid of dogs!
YOU dear are a wonderful inspiration . I am not a farmer, I am a hairdresser,and the closest I have been to farming is growing up barrle racing horses. Raising our own cattle(2 at the most)to feed our families . 3 goats and a hand full of chickens for eggs ,on our 7 acres of property. But I look forward to watching you. Your multi tasking is PHENOMENAL. And your organization is so inspiring. You are amazing at what you do.
I learn a lot about sheep farming from you Sandi. Every time I listen and see I learn something new. This is interesting and I did learn about how feces can keep sheep warm WITH A LOT OF WARM BEDDING. Then how it is time to clean and get ready for lambing. Lambing, and a lot of new terms. I live in a room with other rooms. People can hear the sheep talking. I am getting questions about sheep farming . I tell them about you and I tell them every video ,again I learn. Lucy! I am glad she is ok!
Wow, heart in my mouth for little Lucy, but she did good. Stuck to the fence, made herself get as far out the way as she could while being stuck there. Great to see how much work you put into your system, how and why you do things.
Did anyone else enjoy the beautiful snow field at 14:15. Just a lovely shot. Also agree, Lucy was very a lucky little girl☺️❤️ maybe really would make a good sheepdog 🐑 🐕😁☺️ Also, though its alot of work for you, there's something really satisfying about these barn clean out videos❤️ could watch them over and over☺️
You are the first U Tube video I go to. I never tire of watching your days. You have a beautiful personality that adds so much to the video. There are many many of us out there that are hooked. Keep it up.
Hi Sandi I love all your videos. But the most ones I love the most is when you clean out the pens and Lambie. Always looking forward to a new video thank you for sharing your day with us!
Lucky Lucy! Right in the thick of it. Glad you are back at it. Remember we got your back. Nothing like new equipment to make you feel better. You posting everything thing you do is like being able to sit down and visit with a neighbor over a cup of coffee. Love you content love your channel
That deep bedding is so alive!! The carbon diaper is the dry hay or straw or wood chips, that’s great for the animals living in a pen, it’s compost and. So satisfying watching you removing all of that , the steam is fun!
Glad you kept all that footage of the clean out even though speedy because it shows that it takes a long time to do and all part of sheep farming.🦌💌❤️🐑🙏
Now there is something that can't be said enough, this work feeds and clothes us so R-E-S-P-E-C-T. to all. There is also something in your posts that makes me really proud and that is the number of women in this area. Being a woman I am impressed!
Seeing those pregnant ladies refill the pen, one or two looked almost ready to lamb and ones lady's udder was HUGE already. I would not be suprised if you got a few early lambs. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 Lucy was a Lucky Lucy today. I am just glad nothing bad happened and she got out ok. 🐕 💖 🐕
Growing up we always cleaned the barn by hand as we only put the family milk cows in if it was crazy cold (Sask). I honestly miss it! It's so satisfying to see the clean floor and then put the fresh straw down!

You have to admire both their work ethics. Neither are afraid to get in there and literally shovel s#!+!
I'll say this, Carissa has to be one of the hardest working young ladies I have seen in a long time. Always on the go. Good for her.

Taking a break from cleaning up horse pens to watch Sandi clean up sheep pens. Story of my life.
Hmmm...would this be one of those many times in life when $hit happens?? ;-)
Lol 😝
me only with bunny pens :)
Well, hmm, I only have litter boxes, and I *hate* that particular job. 🙂

aww so sweet Lucy when she realized what was happening. She just plopped down and stayed as little as she could. Smart brave lil girl!! the sheep actually did everything they could to not trample her... GOOD sheep.
Yes GOOD sheep. Phew :)
It almost looked as if some of the sheep headed back to the chute, checking to see, “ Oh, is the little dog okay???”
Especially the one following the herd who suddenly jerked, made a perfect standing vertical jump and then lunged forward. She probably saved Lucy's life. Thank you from all of us, you gooood little sheepie!
When I was a youngster, the sheep bedding had to be cleaned out by hand with pitchforks. It was a labor intensive and smelly job. A bobcat would have been a nice luxury.

I think the smarter thing is to actually go to the other pen first.
I’m so happy you got the new aluminum gates/fences. Please record installing them? Loved watching you cleaning and bedding. Great job to you and Clarissa. Go pro was great.
Thanks Sandi.
It is so fun watching the “dance“ that you and Carissa have developed when you clean the pen. It proves how well you work together! #teamwork
Your operation is so interesting no matter what you are doing. Lucy is a smart dog to stay huddled in one spot til the ewes had passed. Thought she was going to get hurt. Luck was on her side for sure.
Sheep are good about moving around obstacles. They saw her as a big ass rock.
I noticed several sheep actually jumped over Lucy. Such a brave pup. I wonder what Kensey would have done. Another great video. And another job well done😁

Watching the birds fly around, if you got a barn cat it would weigh as much as your sheep after a week of hunting lol
@Kitsune Princess -
Hilarious visual!
But I heard Sandi once say cats carry diseases that are very bad for sheep.
Lol I've been thinking the same.
@@carolynchadwick7867 I wonder which diseases? Because birds and mice carry lots of diseases too and are much harder to keep track of then a cat or two.

Sweet Lucy had guardian angels watching over her. Those lambs were moving fast.
I love how you explained about the warmth from the pack. I grew up on a dairy and my dad never explained why we did things, so I know we did them, but never knew the reasons behind it. It makes so much sense coming from you!
I'm curious about the degree of heat generated. Is it ever in danger of bursting into flame?
Loved the go pro footage. It was so relaxing and satisfying to watch. Made my day better after a couple of rough days back to back! Thank you for being here!

You cleaning out the pins is probably my favorite thing to watch. For some reason it’s so like mesmerizing to watch.
Oh no! Poor Lucy. Luckily those sheep decided they didn’t want to step on her.
They were so careful, the sweeties.
Had some high hurdlers in there when they spotted Lucy.
Good morning. I don’t know how you do it. Mostly by yourself. Being super organized has got to be so very helpful.
Happy “Aluminum Gate” Purchase. Great idea to make your job easier and upper body hurt less.👍
Congratulations on being named as one of the top 50 farmers in Canada!
Steal Lucy and train her to be a sheepdog. Mark needs a low energy dog for his tractor dog anyway! LOL #superfan
I love the way u r so kind to all ur sheep. I grew up on a small farm. I loved it. Good job.
Nothing like life experience in the barn. Lucy showed her big brain. She is charming.🥰
She froze against the sidewall. Good girl!
Clever pup! Stay down, stay still and they'll either jump or go round me! 👌
I love how excited the ewes get with the fresh straw on the ground.
To the lady who made the negative comments. I love this video and have watched this channel for over 2 years and have LOVED each vlog.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

I think if you rode that Bobcat a thousand times, you’d be an expert too!
I feel like I would be knocking everything over too! lol
You should get a thermometer and measure how warm the pack is, I'm super interested!
Packed hay can get really hot, just like a compost pile, as it decomposes it heats up so that it is hot to the touch.

Poor Lucy. She must have been scared with all those ewes running past her and jumping over her. That little Bobcat is an amazing vehicle! It is amazing how much you really do use it.
Just To Say I Love You and that everything goes well with you and your family.
That grappler bucket totally needs some giant googly eyes. Sandi if i sent you some would you put them on the bucket??? Thatd look so funny and im sure make everyone giggle on cleanout days
Great Go-Pro footage; superb, varying, placement of the camera.
Who’d have thought watching the clear-out could be so therapeutic. We all thank your back, shoulder and chiropractor!
The "angle of inclination indicator" is an incredible handy little gadget!
It looks like Lucy is going to be a good sheep dog someday!
Maybe it’s my OCD, but I actually love watching you scoop up the bedding and moving it etc. lol
Lucy was very brave I love all of these videos .Thank you Sandi,Carissa,Jess, Mark, Jack, Kinsey,and Lucy.. you brighten my day
I'm glad miss Lucy was both safe and totally unphased. One brave little lady, I think all us humans were way more scared.
What a clever and brave little sweetheart Lucy is! She glued herself to the wall and made herself even smaller. Thabk goodness she wasn't hurt. The sheep seemed to know to dodge her. I love your channel after recently discovering it. Keep up the content. Its actually a great way for me to relax!
Thank you, enjoyed it a lot. Especially the steaming pile, should name it the US Capital Hill. Lol Take care
lol
Thanks for your comment, it brought a smile to my face.
Very appropriate
well done!
Lol, well said and how true.
Wow..very smart puppy, she just sat down and became rock still. Super to see such a smart little girl.
Ah! A freshly clean and well bedded pen is oh sooo satisfying! 😌😌😌 We try to keep our sheep holding area (corral🙄) as fresh and clean as well. A farmer knows when their sheep are happy and satisfied. Them some happy sheep there!🤗🤗🤗
Our Sandi has some mad skills with that telehandler.You, Carrisa and Jess are definitely worker bees.Stay blessed Brock Family❤❤🐑❤❤
I find it so satisfying when you are moving sheep and making pens but, cleaning that lane with the steam rising and the telehandler chomping into that thick layer was mesmerizing. I bet you wish you could go fast forward in real life when you are editing! Lucy was brilliant when she realized she was in a traffic jam, minimize, minimize! I admire you so much, you rock!💕🇨🇦
Thank you for the video .Plus all the work that goes in making it. Love your channel
My favorite activities in your videos is seeing the babies and seeing you clean the barn out. I LOVE it. I wish I could see a good power washing!
Wow that's a lot of work you've done together.
These are such great videos, you can both be proud of yourselves.
Wow Lucy was so proud? Happy? to survive sheep stampede! Usually so serious🦮❤️
I am impressed, Lucy kept so quiet and still... Smart dog indeed!!!
A clean and thorough job. Made my day watching you being such an efficient worker. Thank you.
Awesome system you have for utilizing waste material for improving soil in farm.
It's so fun to watch your mad telehandler skills! It has to make you feel good to know the sheep will have nice clean beds and that you are all ready for the lambing to begin. Those ewes were so good to not trample poor scared Lucy. It's a good thing they're afraid of dogs!
You & Clarissa never stop and Always get the Job Done. Both of you will continue to Succeed. 👍
YOU dear are a wonderful inspiration . I am not a farmer, I am a hairdresser,and the closest I have been to farming is growing up barrle racing horses. Raising our own cattle(2 at the most)to feed our families . 3 goats and a hand full of chickens for eggs ,on our 7 acres of property. But I look forward to watching you. Your multi tasking is PHENOMENAL. And your organization is so inspiring. You are amazing at what you do.
I learn a lot about sheep farming from you Sandi. Every time I listen and see I learn something new. This is interesting and I did learn about how feces can keep sheep warm WITH A LOT OF WARM BEDDING. Then how it is time to clean and get ready for lambing. Lambing, and a lot of new terms. I live in a room with other rooms. People can hear the sheep talking. I am getting questions about sheep farming . I tell them about you and I tell them every video ,again I learn.
Lucy! I am glad she is ok!
Watching these bits of your life bring so much joy to so many. Thank you for sharing
You are amazing working lady!! Big respect👍👍👍
Your site is a good example of advocacy for female farmers. You guys amaze me with your energy.
Wow, heart in my mouth for little Lucy, but she did good. Stuck to the fence, made herself get as far out the way as she could while being stuck there.
Great to see how much work you put into your system, how and why you do things.
SO satisfying watching pens being cleaned. Love it! Thank you.....
You made my week..I was having a rough week and then I saw this video and it warmed my heart..thank you
Did anyone else enjoy the beautiful snow field at 14:15. Just a lovely shot. Also agree, Lucy was very a lucky little girl☺️❤️ maybe really would make a good sheepdog 🐑 🐕😁☺️
Also, though its alot of work for you, there's something really satisfying about these barn clean out videos❤️ could watch them over and over☺️
You are the first U Tube video I go to. I never tire of watching your days. You have a beautiful personality that adds so much to the video. There are many many of us out there that are hooked. Keep it up.
Hi Sandi I love all your videos. But the most ones I love the most is when you clean out the pens and Lambie. Always looking forward to a new video thank you for sharing your day with us!
Lucky Lucy! Right in the thick of it. Glad you are back at it. Remember we got your back. Nothing like new equipment to make you feel better. You posting everything thing you do is like being able to sit down and visit with a neighbor over a cup of coffee. Love you content love your channel
That deep bedding is so alive!! The carbon diaper is the dry hay or straw or wood chips, that’s great for the animals living in a pen, it’s compost and. So satisfying watching you removing all of that , the steam is fun!
Glad you kept all that footage of the clean out even though speedy because it shows that it takes a long time to do and all part of sheep farming.🦌💌❤️🐑🙏
Now there is something that can't be said enough, this work feeds and clothes us so R-E-S-P-E-C-T. to all. There is also something in your posts that makes me really proud and that is the number of women in this area. Being a woman I am impressed!
Love the ride along while you cleaning out the pack. Nice to have Carissa back helping. Lucy is so Lucky. Sheep just jumped over her.
Enjoy watching you work daily chores.never get tired of the different jobs.👍
I love all of the engineering and coordination that goes into your every day work. Very STEM!
A great encouragement for a wide and broad education.
I love the heavy equipment on your farm and how you handle it. Woman power💪
Seeing those pregnant ladies refill the pen, one or two looked almost ready to lamb and ones lady's udder was HUGE already. I would not be suprised if you got a few early lambs. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Lucy was a Lucky Lucy today. I am just glad nothing bad happened and she got out ok. 🐕 💖 🐕
Growing up we always cleaned the barn by hand as we only put the family milk cows in if it was crazy cold (Sask). I honestly miss it! It's so satisfying to see the clean floor and then put the fresh straw down!
