- After MANY requests from YOU, this community...
I FINALLY BOUGHT THIS SHEEP MILK MACHINE!
A handy, dandy little hand pump that gently milks those ewes that may have just a bit too much milk right off the start.
This ewe was engorged, with triplets... and the only way to get them on her, was to milk her out first.
Also had a wee one injure her leg in the lambing pen with mama...
So I walk you guys through how I cast a lamb's leg.

Sandy, 6:20 You saved two of three lambs. With out your help you'd have three dead lambs AND a dead ewe. You're A very hard working, caring shepherd. A hero to the vast majority of us
Yes, appreciate the honesty and whole picture around your job. Not all sunshine and roses, but still looks more fun that my computer screen. 🤓
I sure hope she reads all of these good comments. I just recently found her because I was getting bored of UA-cam channels and wanted something real life. I've been dairy, ranch and sheep/goat farming most of my life and I adore Sandi already. This is real life. She really is fantastic at this, even if some days she doesn't think so.
yes all of tehm majority
Amen
Well said.
Even with the best equipment, you can't save them all. You did your best and still have so many cute and healthy lambs!
هنتنمححخنزظ.
That milker was a life saver!
On a similar note, it's far better to have 2 live lambs + mom, than 4 fatalities. Considering the circumstances, you done good!!!!!
Oh Sandi! I was sitting here yelling "Breathe!" right along with you! Life and death are beyond us, unfortunately. You did everything you could, and it just wasn't meant to be. You're an amazing human, and your compassion is extraordinary!
I love watching you save lambs , even the ones you ou can't. You do not, I repeat, do not over assist . You are kind and compassionate of your ewes. Do not listen to negative comments. You show such respect for those sheep/lambs you can't save. Hold you head high. You are amazing.🥰🥰
I love seeing comments like this. Thank you for your kind words!!
I agree, there is no problem with assisting a ewe! Sandi does an amazing job!
I hope whoever reads this is having a good day 😊, thank you Sandi for uploading even while being in the midst of lambing
I know you lost a lamb Sandi but you saved 2 sibling lambs and the ewe, you did your best ❤️♥️
You're awesome. Thank you for taking such good care of them and sharing with us the good, the bad and the ugly. We love you. 😘
You know you've been at this awhile yet this season you started with a lamb Taxi a resuscitator and now a milker! It's really great to see how you've evolved in this season alone. Not to mention the way you're backtracking on the genetics. I guess it's a never-ending process. But it's really interesting to watch from the bleachers.
I love what your vet told you. Sounds smart. If it's any comfort, vets are smarter about nutrition and all around health of their patients than doctors for people. I wish that I could go to a vet for my health rather than a drug pushing doctor for humans.
That momma I bet felt so much relief after you milked her...letting that pressure off can only help her nurse those babies.
Right! Newborns don't really take that much, she looks ready to feed a baseball team worth of lambs!
In the 1980's I was nursing my own lil lambs (;) and I used a manual breast pump that was (almost) dentical as your ewe milk pump. Funny to see the design is still in use. I love learning from your videos about the labor of love in nurturing a flock of sheep.
@@ninacohen5401
Forgive me Nina, I have a wry comment: you do realize the design is still in use because neither the breast or the ewe teats have changed in that time, nor the need to express the milk! In design, form follows function. In this design it means the design of the milk pump will remain essentially the same so long as milk is produced the same way, by the same body. If in 100 years sheep are all double the size, they will need to enlarge the pumps. Otherwise, they don't need to change them at all, although technology may allow them to streamline them.
I hadn't mentioned this before, but thank you Sandi for teaching us how to splint a leg! My cat had been limping, and wasn't giving herself time to rest and not jump, so we splinted her leg based (roughly) on your instructions, and helped her take some resting time! I never would have thought to splint her had it not been for your videos, and it really stopped her leaping around and over-stressing the weak limb. So thank you for the advice!
Wow
Hopefully you sought your vets advice.
For a pet you should really take them to a vet. Sandi does what she can for livestock because with 300ish sheep vet isnt an option everytime.
@@h.s.6269 Of course - we'd already taken her to the vet and were advised that nothing was broken and there was no external damage, but to try and keep her from using it as much as possible. So the splint worked great for following that advice.
@@vwvw4 Yeah, she'd already seen a vet and it had been determined it wasn't a break, external injury, or anything they could find, so we should keep her from jumping about - the splint worked great for that!
Half of being a livestock farmer is being an EMT for said livestock. Sandi, you did well.
Sandy, regardless of how hard you work, you just can't save them all. Regardless of how hard mom worked to get them full term, there are those who just don't have the will to live. For whatever reason, they drown, too long in labour, not enough space in mom at the end, who knows. In my eyes, you saved three, two lambs and a ewe. I'm glad you have all the gear now and everyone you save raises the possibility of you making a profit at the end of the year. Don't beat yourself up. As the saying goes "you done good".
Sandi (speaking for ewe) Oh shoot, I know what this means.
Actual Ewe: Oh thank god, Sandi will help me, she's always there when we need her!
Amen!
This is the best comment ever:)
I think Sandi, sometimes you over-think ...and THAT'S just your conscience keeping your
diligent self in check. Did you see the way that ewe "presented" to you?
Immediately knew help is here, my rescuer is gonna make this better...
AND SHE DID!
That 6th sense pet's and herd animals have abt "their people"...well
they know...so simple.
We assign our human barriers to them...but it seems they just trust.
I marvel at that purity...no other way...just trust and obey!
Why must we question so?
You are so blessed to live in their world!
Yeah that Ewe didn't look upset at all! She wanted help I think.
Sandi....the sheep whisperer. Love the care you give these fur babies! You will always lose normal looking lambs. There was probably something wrong with the lamb that you did not know about. Don’t be so hard on yourself all of us have lost babies. Love from Texas!💗
That moment at 5:06 in the video,. My wife and I have been there too many times.. and no matter what you do it just don't work.. and you get frantic, disgusted and just a bit angry. Or at least I do. Sandi, you have helped my wife and I so much ,
Prayers for you.. and say a prayer for us as lambing is almost done.
I have absolutely no experience in anything you do, but I discovered your channel last night and I’ve had so much fun watching you in action! I’m amazed at how knowledgeable you are. What a great, fun new channel to discover!
So glad you got the Ewe Milker. It will help you so much in the future. This was yet again, another great video. You save the lives of so many lambs and your ewes. Hope that Vanillie heals and gets to grow with her friends in the big pen. I follow you on InstaGram, so I know about the high break and the vet run. Thanks for sharing another great video.
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!! I'm one of Sandie's Sheeple!!
I find this so interesting. started to watch goats first and this came up and been hooked since then. amazing woman she does it all and so greatly love and peace
I follow a few sanctuaries and farms that have goats. Seen several things that she does that they can add to what they do already.
Same here
On my brother's dairy farm we froze colostrum. When we had a really full cow freshen that had good colostrum, we saved what her baby didn't drink and froze it in ziplock freezer bags. then when we had a mom freshen that didn't have any milk or poor quality colostrum, we got the good stuff out and warmed up for the baby to give them a good start and save a ton of money buying the artificial stuff. we also bought 2 pasturizers and instead of dumping scrap milk, we pasturized it and fed calves with it to save money on milk replacer.
Sandi, thank you so much for showing us these lambing videos. You're amazing. Congratulations on your sheep milking machine - so much easier for the wee lambies to drink from mama. Sorry for the loss of the one lamb. You did try your best - please know that. You're wonderful! Yours in Gratitude
11:59 sends any mama who has ever used a hand pump on themselves when breastfeeding, just had a visceral let down :D. I've not breastfed for 6yrs but still got that letdown when you started expressing the ewe. I love watching this as a past midwife BTW - from Australia!
Thank you Sandi...your smile when the lambs are responsive...is delightful...bless you...love from Scotland🎇💞😁🎇
Reading the instructions always a good idea. 🤓❤
Bah ! Those are for after it doesn't work ;)
I hope you know ,how many people you have been a escape for a few minutes.Thanks for all the videos ❤️
Sad about the triplet, but look how you little warm room babies has done and we know you will do your best by the other little one. Stay safe and take care of you and yours xx
You can't save all of them, Sandi. And there is no one that would have tried harder than you did. You did save two of the three lambs and their mama. Congratulations! That milker is amazing! Good job, girl! Sandi Brock, you Rock!
Okay sandi saying "whos peeing" cracked me up!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
So cute that Lucy is cleaning HER lambs. She will be a good sheep dog.
I used to get engorged all.the.time. with my first baby. I bet that ewe was just happy to feel the pain and pressure go. Being engorged is sooo painful and it is such a relief when the mik starts flowing.
Sandi, you are amazing! You do so much for your ewes and lambs!
Milli Vanilli 😂😂 That's great.
Great idea about ditching flush ration as a trial. Your sheep are not nutritionally stressed in anyway and the lice treatments are really making a difference!
Most people don't realize that a farmer needs active mental agility as well as a strong back.
Yeah end killing lives too needs mental health.
@@jennc743 Maybe this isn't the chanel for you
Well this UA-camr gets exposure by getting watchers to comment. This is sick stop watching and commenting shes just out for the bottom line .... Making money through all of you.
None of us are stupid a syrong back and long hours goes for us nurses too but we are not killing the babies we deliver.
I had a new born puppy that had that hip problem and could not walk. I layed her on her back and pressed both hips at the same time into the pup. Her hip popped back into place. Some chiropractors will do animals too. She needed some support for a few day to strengthen it but turned out right as rain! You can put them back in the joint. I was so very relieved to save her!
You know it’s serious when you remove layers to deliver the lamb!! Hoping you’re having some better lambing days! ❤️
I have only been following you about a couple of weeks, You are Amazing! Love you and your heart for the sheep. Thank you for posting your life.
Sandi once you’ve built the upstairs room above your now office, you should move your office upstairs and have that room as a nursery for poorly/injured lambs 😊
She'd have to carry them up. Yes, she's strong, but she does have a back injury to heal.
@@julieenslow5915 he means have the bottom room as the lamb room and upstairs for the office 'I think'
@@TomoT007
Of course! That would work perfectly!
@@TomoT007 that’s exactly what I mean 😊 also I’m a she 🤣
"Who's peeing, I can hear you peeing" poor Millie.
😂
Wow my heart is racing and I am all choked up. Im sorry the baby died, but you did save the mamma and 2 siblings. I think you did a phenomenal job and I am so proud of you.
I just have a small flock started to practice herding with my Kelpies, but i adore sheep and got 10 nice lambs thie year....5 are males and will be sold, but I am enjoying my sheep....they are my zen. I am learning so much from you and wish i could work for you....your videos keep me in a relaxed and peaceful state of mind ❤
My daily dose of lambs and baa baa baa! Does the heart good! 🐑💕
You are a superwoman. I commend you. I have learned so much in a day-and-a-half of watching your videos and what you do on your farm. My heart goes out to you when you have a loss. I feel your pain. You go girl you rock
I would have to wear headphones I could not take that bird noise all day long. I give you credit where credit is deserved.
She has her music in her ears
Poor Mark! I think that he is going to have to find another dog to be a "tractor dog". I think Lucy is definitely a sheep dog. Loves to go to the barn & be w/the sheep. Look how she is trying to take of the little lamb that can't walk. Thinks that is her lamb. Sorry Mark, think you lost Lucy. Amazing to see how those two tools work. Glad you were there for the mom. She had three good size lambs. Sorry you lost one; you did the best you could. The mom that you milked probably started feeling more comfortable when you started milking her.
It's so amazing how nature works I know that is hard you are doing a awesome job Sandi I am not going to miss anyone of your videos you have a blessed day 💖💞
NO Doubt Sandi is Real Deal. Sandi has consistently Worked Hard to get Respect she Deserves. 👍
Your an inspiration, motivator, professional mood lifter and such a genuine loving person. I appreciate all the work you put in for us. Thank you. Xx
If you buy a kitose meter, like you were telling about, maybe you can measure there blood. And all the ewes with a higher kitose level put on the dry ration.
Great idea.
Awesome idea!
Sandi, you go above and beyond. I think you are just the most kind shepherd that the little lambs and sheep could ask for. I so wish sometimes that you could take in all the good comments that far outweigh the bad ones. However, if you weren't so sensitive, you wouldn't be Sandi and wouldn't care the way you do. I wish everyone could be like you.
What a woman you are, a lot to deal with, knowledge, courage, strength, intelligence, integrity, you are amazing, you make us woman proud! Love to watch your blog I do nothing with lamb but very interesting, I am a nurse
This has been such a rough lambing. My heart hurts with you. So glad for all the little miracles like black ewe lambs and Millies.
I've come back to rewatch this. I was stunned by the birth of the most perfect beautiful lamb, pure in its innocence, taken so quickly by death. What an Easter message this was to me.
So very sorry for the loss of the triplet lamb. Somethings are out of our control. You did an amazing job with the two that survived! So thankful you were there to save them and quite possibly the mom!
I've noticed that Lucy has really taken a liking to her perch up on the foundation walls. She figured out she can see what's going on better up there.
Shes a farm animal they go fo death in the meat market this is not a love afair?????
Mama #59 runnin' to baby cry- love it
1:45 I thought I was watching Dr. Pol, but then she left her shirt on.... LOL!!!!
Going for meat not life
Hi Sandi. I am not a sheep farmer and I wish I had answers for you but things will get better. Bad times certainly make us appreciate the good times even more. You do a great job and treat your sheep better than a lot of folks (I don't mean only on youtube). Bless you guys.
As you rehab Vanilli, you could multi-purpose your weighing sling as a walking hip harness to give your lamb a boost as it learns to walk on that cast. It will save your back, make it easier to keep up with the lamb as it takes steps and be more ergonomic as a rehab aid. (I work in human rehab and my brain won’t shut off when it comes to stuff like this).I hope now that it’s casted up through the hip it’s able to heal. I love that you’re trying so hard and always open to learning.
I will be honest I never really realized how much it takes to have a sheep farm untell I found ur channel and now I can't stop watching!!!!
I don't know how many times I've made this recommendation... Sandi you need a sling, it's simple to make out of 2 t-shirts but that lamb can be held up with a sling so her leg can heal a little. My sister did it with a lamb that had a broken leg worse than any of your breaks... she cast it in a plaster cast like a human, slung it up in a sling in our garage and nursed it until it could stand on the cast a little and then a little at a time increased the time the leg was being used until it was time to re-set the cast. The lamb gradually healed up completely. It had 2 breaks, top and bottom. It took a lot of time and dedication, but it worked and it lived and was a fine quality ewe the following year. Sew the bottom of the t-shirts into a tube shape that you can string a rope through. Then place the one t-shirt on the front and the one on the rear and cut the neck opening to fit so it can deficate and go pee. Of course it's different for males, just make sure the center is open for males. I think you get the picture.
I love those moms, so stoic. Love the babies!
You have a good milker there!
I have been watching your videos and enjoying every one of them! I love sheep and always have. I love how you handle them, you are so gentle and sweat. My favorite is the lambing. I know that part of sheep farming some don’t make it and others have to go, it is the cycle of life. God gave them to us to enjoy, to clothe us with their wool and to feed us. If I was younger, I’d love to come out and spend time with you and help out! Keep up your beautiful work!
I 💕 when the babies start jumping and kicking! So sweet.
The respirator saved two lambs!! Great job, Sandi ♥️
Sandi I'm so glad you have new implements to help you out. What successes!
You did the best you could lady. I worked quite a few night shifts doing the
same thing in the 1980s. Bless you. I know it's really hard. When you have to take care of several thousand sheep up in the mountains it can break you down. Remember always, they are worth the effort. Best regards.
Great job saving momma and those two lambs. You are amazing.
Sandie you did great trying to save the lambs. You did not over assist. You are an amazing rancher. Please give yourself a break. You are being over critical on yourself.
Just a thought for high femur fractures, a spica cast is used on human toddlers for that. It could possibly work for little lambs to stabilize the pelvis, hip socket and femur. I love watching this channel. Thank you so much for all the hard work.
I belive you get allot of satisfaction helping these little guys into the world. :)
Shit my snowmobile broke so now I'm home in Luleå again and seeking comfort from my favorite woman in Canada haha
I'm in the very Southern part of Mississippi in US
A. Its beginning to get hot here n boy does it get hot.
I stumbled upon Sandy's pod n now I'm hooked. I love animals n this pod cast has given me much education on sheep. I'm a Christian, so my Bezt Friend in the whole of everything is "The Lamb Of God", our Jesus! How awesome a job to have to take care of those sheep n lambs.
Sandy is so compassionate. I'm hooked!
God bless all of yall n protect you m yours n a special blessing to Sandy n her crew.
Margie from Southern Mississippi
Sandi is an incredible woman and I really like her.
Yay! My sheep reward after finishing my final today
Best wishes!
Awww, she looked so exhausted I think you were both exhausted! their such sweet animals..I'm glad they have You to care for them.
You absolutely amaze me🥰👏👏👏 You saved 2 out of 3 of those lambs and the Mom too👏👏👏 I love watching you grow and you’re always open to new ideas🥰. Your sheep are lucky to have you👏👍❣️
You’re a Rock Star 💫 you saved 2 and a Ewe!!! I’m always so amazed, you’re the best
So sorry for the loss of that sweet baby. I know your heart breaks. Your dog loving on these babies makes my heart happy.
You tried your best to save that lamb. Look at your pen of lambs. That shows you the success you have in lambing!
Your work is so fascinating, even my cat stands in front of the TV watching the lambs be born!! In 15 years I have never seen him watch TV - ever.
Love that new pump
Sandi!! Makes it look so EZ...... 😁
You did great and it's a blessing you're a decent rancher who loves the animals! I hate it when we lose a calf even if I'm not home taking care of them as my husband does but it still hurts the heart!
Such cute lambs with all the colors 😊. Millie didn’t seem like she wanted to be with the big kids🤣! Thank you for sharing🤗💗!
I just recently found your channel and have really enjoyed watching. I appreciate your hard work, strength, and honesty. Most people don't realize how hard it is to do what you do.
PS: Pearl is the most beautiful baby!
Wow! You’re so brave!! I would have already fainted! I’m so sorry that the last little one didn’t make it. It wasn’t because you didn’t give it your all! You just amaze me!!
Off to running start, you did your best. Amazing how fast you are. Thank you again.
I had an older lamb that had broken its hip. I made a harness out of a grain bag and some ratchet straps, hung her up so she could touch the ground and be able to put weight on it if she wanted. It took a couple of weeks to heal and strengthen enough to be able to recover enough to walk. I still had to separate her from most of the herd for a while longer but it worked
So sorry you lost one blessings to your heart and all the crew
I held my breath for all 3 and I’m so in love with your intense effort to save them all! U did amazing and I know this is an older video but I just had to say it!!
Super interesting tube idea! In Wales we stick straw up the lambs nose to make it sneeze. Kind of like a jump start for lambs.
Hello, I came across your videos a couple days ago, it's very interesting as what goes on in the lives of a farmer. I'm a city girl, lol. You have much compassion to what you do.
Sandi, you helped me save a ewe and her huge ram lamb yesterday! I have learned so much from your videos!
You know what, you deserve this and you need this good morning and have a beautiful day.
Dragging butt BAD today!!! Nothing like watching the beautiful Sandi and her lambies before having to get homework done with kids and off to work. Hope you have a great day my lady.
Great job on delivery Sandi
I watch Sandi while in the car waiting for hubby to come out an people walk by an they here all these crazy noises thinking what the heck .you should see the looks I get !! I love it
Time is gold when assisting them giving birth
Sandi you are amazing 👏❤ with your babies. God bless you from Michigan USA 🇺🇸
Your smile is contagious..😁
Bless you and your attempts. What a challenging mama and babies.
You have the Cutest Lambs. Such a variety of Colors. I Love the anticipation of what color/colors comes next. Peace from WV USA
