- Another busy few days lambing, with not one but TWO ewes with blown out abdomen muscles who finally lambed.
Still dealing with so many multiples, which makes lambing a bit more challenging as they seem to not want to position real nice for delivery.
Meanwhile, Big Mama found herself in a situation of sorts.

The angry spraying of the X on crazy mama had me absolutely cackling with laughter. "Oh, you wanna be a jerk? Well WATCH THIS!" 🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious. Off to slaughter because the farmer sucks.
"..and I am HEATED." Sandy says as she angrily makes a large red X on the ewe and going over it several times for emphasis. Your passion and compassion... are why many of us watch you.
I felt every swipe of that paint can!
@@buckeyejen1076 she's marking it to sell
@@buckeyejen1076 Yes she has 3 dots for three lambs on the ewe, an actual number on the ewe and lambs to keep them together in the Main pen as to what order they lambed and on flock watch, and spots on the lambs when she is pulling them to go to the Nanny if they are the strongest ones...I know she's got a few more marks she uses, but can't remember them all.
@@buckeyejen1076 sold for meat
Red x means to sell for meat. She can’t rebred them due to issues or risk of it happening again. If she has to keep putting all the lambs from one ewe on the machine it would be costly. Sheep that can’t or won’t care for their babies are off to the market. Now if one or more gets pulled to being more than a twin, it will not be counted since a ewe can not take care of more than twins (triplets maybe if she has alot of milk) but most of the time the triplet will go on the machine. The sheep pay their way by feeding their lambs.She explained in an older video how the money thing works.
I love how Kinsey is ALWAYS herding. I imagine her going “I! Am! Helping!” when she jumps around in the background while Sandy is just checking on the sheep 😂
She has to do her sheep count everyday
Kinsie: Me help! Me help!
Have you notice Kenzie racing in like a mad thing usually BUT when there are lambs in the barn, she walks in quietly. Smart girl.
She's the most useless herding dog because she wasn't trained properly.
@@lillys78, Kenzie is learning, but very slowly, due to lack of training.
I actually yelled at that baby bashing ewe through the screen LOL! I felt your satisfaction spraying that "X" on her back extra bold! I feel so bad for the Billy twin. She went through so much carrying all of those babies and didn't get a single one out of the deal.
We're gonna ask how big mama got in there? Really?! The queen of getting in and out of places she shouldn't be. 😂 gotta love her!! ♥️🐑
Lol!
She did get through the creep gate once, after all! 😂😂
@@samanthaclarke3422 more than once! 🤣🤣🤣
The other four did look a bit guilty, but it could just be the default sheet facial expression of 'What?'. 😂
Lucy makes me laugh everytime. Kinsey, bright eyed and bushy tailed and always so excited to go to the barn. And then there's Lucy who barely has her eyes open. She's a hoot.
🤣Yea, she seems to be just along to hang out with the actual worker (Kinsey), so it looks like she's working 😉🥰
I know! Kinsey is “Open the door, open the door, open the door! I’ve got so much work to do! Come on, come on, come on.” And then Lucy is “Fine. Let’s get this over with! I’d rather be sleeping…” 😂
I've been laughing at all the replies on here, and you guys are a hoot!!!😂 I actually think Kinsey is the best ear wax removal system on 4 legs!! And, she's portable!! Hahahahaha 😂😂 All the sheep line up at the feeder for service.....
The top agility dogs in North America couldn't keep up with Kinsey! She must be soooo fit! 💪
I am pretty sure Lucy identifies as a chihuahua. 🤣
Sandi, darlin, please take a break! Give yourself a week, two weeks, however long, and don't worry about filming. This channel, and all of us will be here when you come back. I LOVE all you do for the sheep and this whole community, but give yourself a break hun...I feel like I'm seeing bits of you breaking off in each video and its heartbreaking! Take care of you, take care of your family...just give yourself time to BREATHE!! With love from the states, Wendy ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
Amen to all you said!❤
Lambing season is a tough time of the year. I had just a small flock and would check the barn every 2 hours from the time they were due until the last lamb was born, nights too. I would be EXHAUSTED by the end. I loved it though and it's what I miss most about no longer having a farm. I can't imagine having the energy to care for a flock the size of this one.
Underrated comment and completely true, I agree with it all
Well said!
While I concur with you, livestock never sleeps. Life goes on. (Whispery voice "Nevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvahhhhhh sleeps". Except for my chickens. Unless it's a new flock. Then it's debatable if they're in the house.)
Praying for Jess, that whatever is making her unwell can be solved very soon. ❤️
Is it just me or is Tamatoes🍅 just a dog that accidently spawned in the form of a sheep?! 100% convinced she thinks she's a dog, and I would die watching Sandi take her for a walk on a leash 😂
I totally saw what you saw today.
She's a sheep puppy. 😆
I've been thinking that since the day she arrived at Sandi's farm!
I was thinking the same thing about Tomatoes! And I think she's having an influence on the others! 😅
I think Tomatoes did put Big Momma in the hay ring and then did her Lassie's " Timmy is in the well" routine for Sandi. So very cute and sassy.
I love how the bottle babies get sweaters!
The concentration on Kinsey and she’s waiting for the door to open, “I need to work, I have to work, open the door, I have to work”
Lucy was just like “nope, too early to work 🙈
Or, perhaps, Lucy was saying, "I aint doin' nothin' until my mornin' coffee." 😂
Kinsey work .... Lucy REALLY Naaaaaaa 😂
I think she must be crazy fit! She never stops moving!
So, so sorry you are having such a rough lambing season. It's just heartbreaking to see so many dead lambs. That bulky feed continues to have devastating effects. I pray the next round will benefit from these hard lessons. In the meantime, you are stronger than you feel right now. You will make it through this.
Would that sweet Billy twin ewe be able to join the Golden Girls?
It was such a pleasure to see the GGs again. Would love to know how Big Mama got herself into the hay feeder! Maybe you should schedule more visits to see your therapy flock. You certainly deserve it!
Praying for you and your family...
I had two ewes blow out also. They lambed and raised their babies with no issues. I think it bothered me more than them. Sheep amaze me sometimes. But it always sucks seeing them struggle at all. Hoping you the best. The lambs are so cute!!
Hello how are you doing
The “Sorry bout your mom….BYEEEE!” was way too funny to me 😂 I’m sad that the momma is being a jerk, but I’m glad they’ve got a great momma like you to take care of them ❤
The passion in painting that x on the bad mom 😂 I feel that.
Of all the lambing seasons I've watched, this has been your roughest. You are so strong and you'll get through it. I hope you figure out what's going on and have a better next lambing season.
Will's wasn't without problems and Cammie just started.
I really think most of this tracks back to the feed ration - lesson learned
I think its a result of too many lambs. Sheep are not designed to have 4 and 5 lambs. Plus, there is no selection for good mothering and ease of lambing. I'm afraid it's only going to get worse unless changes are made. I would bet Sandy will give "Red" a pass and keep her even though she prolapsed!
@@norwalfarm I think a combination of too many lambs in each ewe as well as too bulky of feed that needed higher protein earlier to support growth and milk production and not just fill the gut. Sandy will get it. Live and learn each time....I'm glad she's getting the number she is as I think from a productivity stand point having an average of 2.5 to 2.7 live lambs/ewe is probably more cost effective. Now just need to find that right balance on the feed and when to start stepping up the nutritional value to support growth, but not over growth...not as simple as it sounds. 🤔
Thank you for your cooler headed insight. The previous post you responded to made me angry. And it is Sandis prerogative if she chooses to keep Red or not.
I'm sorry that this continues to be a difficult lambing, it seems that each day is more challenging than the last. Add to it all the additional stress of worrying about Jess. I admire your strength in just getting out of bed each day and opening that door at 4 a.m. The most amazing thing is that you still have that positive sense of anticipation, ready to greet and love all the new arrivals. Give Jess extra hugs, let her know we all hope and pray for her good health.
Any chance picking some of those lams up & swinging them to clear fluid from lungs, might help? Have seen some can be resuscitated, bit you ate the best judge of course.
Gp9d luck to your beautiful daughter & take good care of yourself too ❤❤❤
Big Momma always loves to prove she can squeeze anywhere…
Gotta love her! 🐑🤍🐑
Big Mama in the feeder--the look she gave you was just precious! ❤
A badly needed chuckle, too! (Goofy ewe!)
I was gonna say SHEEPISH but precious works too! 🤣
Right! I was like man I wish Sandi had a field cam so we could see how she got in there! 🤣
I love seeing the golden girls. They look so fluffy and happy.
Which one was the bouncy white one that seemed to bounce when she saw Sandi? Was that Tomato? They need name tags ❤😂
The extra lambs being both a blessing and a curse in that there are so many more stillborns and so many more bottle babies, I hope this is a once off crazy and your next season of lambing is a lot calmer. Sending thoughts and prayers for you, Jess and the whole family at this time xx
Hello how are you doing
The way you can reach in and determine what end you've got is impressive to me. Lambies are sooooo cute. 🐑
I'm so sorry, Sandy... this has been a tough lambing. Sending soft hugs and empathetic thoughts for you during this tough time. Sending ❤ for Jess too.
Me too Sandi ❤
I have seen all of your videos but I don’t recall anything about Jess. Have you said what is going on or just that she’s having health problems?
@@lisalarouge6309 She's letting her daughter take the led in how much to share and Jess (who has her own channel) has chosen not to be specific. At least that's my current understanding.
Your new arrangement in the barn looks not only better for the sheep, but you as well Sandy.
The Golden Girls are living their best life, it was great to see them doing some run/hopping.
You know when you get the totals from this lambing, I think the caption should be "well no wonder I was so busy!"
The only thing with sheep that brings out deep inner anger in me is when the ewe refuses to nurse her lambs and bashes them around, and fights me when I try to help. That red X, I totally felt that!
I was watching Cammy and laughing as he swung lambs around by their back legs to clear their lungs, and I thought, “what a great instance of the spectrum of approaches in animal husbandry!” I could no more picture Sandi swinging lambs around by their back legs, and yet it’s totally within the realm of age-old acceptable methods!
It works well
Sandi's vet had told her not to do that. It's why she has the suction thing! 🙂
Also he complained about getting triplets.Told him about checking out our girl and her quads+
It works amazingly! Most farmers have swung some newborn critter by the back legs at least once 😂
Dr. Pole might even throw ice water on them 😂
It looked like the golden girls had sent big mama to jail.
Watched Cammie live yesterday and he was singing your praises Sandi.
I love how her puppy bounces around effortlessly behind the camera. Like a watchful familiar or foreman.
Love how Tomatoes is all bouncy-bounce, “come play with me”. Such a cutie.
Who knew Big Mama wanted a jungle gym?? 💕💕
😂😂😂😂
I think Tomatoes pulled an April Fools joke on her! 😂😂
@@queenbee3647 I think you might be right. Can't imagine Big Mama jumping in there but I bet if Sandi turned it over Big Mama would have fun squeezing in and out of there. She always liked sqeezing into the lamb pen. 🤣😂🤣
Tee hee! Is that what Big Momma was trying to say? Hee hee hee!! And, she looked so stoic and innocent while the others stood quietly AWAY a little distance..... 😂
Hilarious!! Love how they're so innocently posing, Tomatoes Had to have done it, she was first to come tell you HELP!?! ;-p
So funny, how All of the other Golden Girls circled round, watching how you "fix it."
Big Momma looked so funny! She looked like she was in jail and needed "bale" money!! 😂
On a more serious note, I am so sorry this is such a hard lambing season for you Sandi, with all the health issues in the family and the ewes. Please know you are so much stronger than you know. It's a bad season but not a bad life. BIG warm hugs!🤗
Lol.. "bale money"😄
I’m holding my breath and praying a lot for a good outcome for Jess. The adorable antics of these lambs help me through bad times. I know you guys know we are all pulling for you.
What is going on with Jess is she okay?
Oh, she kissed you for helping her…😊
I'm sorry you're having such a rough lambing. It seems like when life throws lemons at us, everything else around us goes to shit with it. But that lil #16 lamb at the end, just casually laid up in the feed bunk with a piece of hay hanging out its mouth, was beyond adorable! Love ALL your content. Thank you for sharing it with us.
That little lamb made me laugh! Up in the feed tray, gumming a piece of hay, looking like it's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing. So funny!!😂🤣😂🤣
You got this Sandi!! Any updates on Marks wrist? Planting is coming soon so hoping its fixed before that starts.
Sandi, I can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you spend sharing your sheep life with us. I had my first time freshening/kidding goats this last month. We had so many tangled and backwards and even a stillborn. Because I’ve seen you stay calm and think it through and then do what needed to be done, I was able to handle all the crazy situations, without losing kids that wouldn’t have made it otherwise. You are a godsend.❤
I know... l feel as though l could walk into the barn and do everything l have the strength for ... strength or lack thereof being the only issue... but if l could brace my feet it'd be ok ...
I love how all the golden girls came to meet you and tell you that someone was stuck in the hay feeder!
It looks like the Golden Girls are living their best life. Prayers to you, Sandi, for the strength to get through all this.
Sandi I just want to thank you and your husband and your children and Carissa for bringing me so much joy. I’ve been really unwell and stuck in bed and not too happy about it. And I watch your show even episodes from way back and it’s like we know you. I know that may sound loca en la cabeza lol but it’s like we really care about what happens to you and your loved ones and all your furry babies. You give us so much and so much of yourself!!!!! Please know as I’m sure many others would say, we do not take you for granted or what you do for granted. Thank you for all that you give us. I get really bored with TV when you’re down so much so long, you’ve seen everything that you could possibly be interested in and some you didn’t Want to watch. It’s so wonderful to be able to turn on UA-cam and find you and it helps me live in the present better.
@Mikki Leon Like you you, I’ve have been dealing with multiple surgical issues & complications. I’ve been drastically restricted on what I can do, which is very frustrating, as my husband has had to pick up the daily chores on our small farm, plus he works full time. I don’t feel safe enough to even take care of my last pony, which is really difficult. We don’t have kids, other than our two adopted dogs & 2 parakeet’s. There is no family around or friends. You are right, in the past five months I’ve seen all that I can watch on tv, caught up on all the series I’m interested in, can’t stand the news here in the USA, UA-cam has been a help (fortunately my great hubby has us on the premium subscription & there are a lot of free movies). I usually liked to read, but am just not interested in getting into a new book. The Lord is helping me keep it together and so are channels like Sandi’s, as she makes me realize I’ve got it easy compared to others. Sandi is an amazing woman & this birthing group of lambs has to be her most challenging yet. This & also dealing with her daughter’s medical issues & Mark’s injury, she keeps on going. And we know we are not seeing all of what she is dealing with. Prayers for Sandi, you and all their others out there that are dealing or attempting to, handle all of the challenges which we are facing. God Bless! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
I get the frustration since I have had 4x right shoulder surgeries and got hit by a drunk driver in a jeep while riding my bicycle. My foot was nearly amputated. I was bed bound for about a year. The best way I found to deal with it was to do some hobbies in bed. For me I love puzzles and building things. So I got someone to get me some crystal puzzles from Walmart (3d see thru puzzles) then got an old waterfall with multi colored light that had broken. Then I put together the Cinderella castle, broke apart the waterfall, and found a way to place the castle that I glued together onto the base so it changed colors. It was beautiful. Gave it to a child. Then kept making things for people. Just a thought. For me it was way too easy to fall into the poor me attitude. So I had to act. I'm not saying you are but this info might still be helpful. People will coddle you at first. That will wear off. So best get them to help you find a way to deal with your stress and anxiety while they still feel bad for you. Don't coddle yourself. Use this time to learn new things or to help others. Keep your brain active (TV doesn't count, that's down time) make a schedule and keep to it. You can do this. I'm rooting for you.
@@margelittleboy both of you
I love it when Sandi does the split and there’s two of her😍 Just what she needs when Carissa isn’t there being her twin! Thank you Sandi for sharing you and your flock with us all! 🥳
I was thinking the same today!
I love how the one sheep in the field was like "Quick Mum, She's stuck. Help Her!!".
You survived a very hard week. You are doing the best you can. That is all you can do. So many babies! So many quints! Oh my goodness. All those wiggly tails and bouncy ears. Oh and the new Rams! That will help. You are doing a great job! Thank you for sharing your world. Your viewers are here for you in what ever capacity you need. ❤
Amen for sure. If I lived closer, I would take, or split, a shift when it gets really hard. We all love you beautiful Sandi. ❤️🎉 Praying for Jessica, and for you and your family. God Bless you all.
At last!!! I’ve been missing the Golden Girls and I’m so happy to see them again! ❤ I’m also excited about seeing Sandi’s numbers this lambing. She’s got a lot a bottle babies and there’s lots of ewes having multiples. It’s going to be interesting!
Me too. Me too!
Sorry, but what are the golden girls? Are they the lambs that look golden yellow or is that something that wears off?
@@recoveringsoul7554 or 5 retired ewes living outside on Sandi's farm
@@recoveringsoul755 The Golden Girls is the nickname for the retired ewes put to pasture, instead of sent to market. It's in reference to a sit com about elderly ladies sharing a condominium, Betty White was in it. 🤍🐑 I wish you ease and long lasting recovery.🕊️
@@recoveringsoul755 The Golden Girls are the older sheep we saw in the field (aka retirement village). Sandy loves them so she keeps them after retirement age and they kinda act as her therapy. They include Billy’s Mom, Ruby, Big Momma, Large Marge, and Tomatoes (the youngest).
Love watching the golden girls running to you, so sweet❤
Thank you Sandi for bringing pure joy to my husband and me. He is disabled so he can't get out much so I found UA-cam with sooooo many good ideas. He discovered you, I'm pretty sure he has cried with you a few times. Take some time for YOURSELF or you won't be able to care for everyone else. Take care and God bless!!! Your Southern Fans.
It is so sad watching your emotional challenged this lambing and Jess's health weighing on you! By giving us your true self you are a blessing to so many women, parents .... we can let the mask drop and sometimes just show our fears, pain and sadness!!!!❤
"I am heated!" = aggressively and safely drawing a BIG X. you rock, Sandi
Sandi, please know we are all rooting for Jess, Mark, your sheep and lambs, and especially YOU! Prayers for you and everyone this Holy Week.❤
Hello how are you doing?
Oh, honey, you are doing a great job. I am lost in admiration of your strength and compassion for your flick...especially when life is throwing you so many curve balls. Thank you for sharing yourself with us all! ❤
So many ups and downs in this lambing business! It's got to be hard on you, Sandi , but we're here to share it with you. Take a deep breath and imagine all the hugs coming your way from all your viewers. Thank you, Sandi for creating such an amazing opportunity for us to share with you!
Tomatoes has such a zest for life. She's good for my heart and big mama in the hay thing made me laugh. This has been such a rough lambing I'm glad your golden girls are there for you, and us. 😊
Sandi, I love you so much. You don't know how much you have touched my heart. You have so much on your plate right now, Jess, Mark, Jack and of course the health and well being of each and every sheep on your wee ranch. You give 100% to all of them, then you have your friends and family and you make special time for us. As we willingly go on this journey thru life with you.
I have followed Cammy. Cammy's the name, sheep is the game. I admit my mouth hung open as he grabbed newborns by the feet and flung them to and fro, to "clear their airways". Sandi, I know it might be interesting. PLEASE do not try it. For some reason I see your "baby" flying thru the air, landing in a water bowl 10 pens down! I much prefer your resuscitation methods!
I love you, girlfriend and sister-woman. Give those dogs a hug n kiss, and an extra treat. Oh, hell. Put Lucy in your office on the couch with her blanket. She doesn't do lambs, or mornings, or car rides, tractor rides, or anything else. A princess needs her beauty rest.
Someone posted that swinging them by the back legs can lead to brain damage!
As my grandpa would say, “DADNABBIT!!!” By gosh this has been a challenging go around! You should start an “Adopt an Orphan Lamb” program!!! If I lived anywhere near you I would absolutely come and feed these babies!! Better yet… maybe an “Adopt an Orphan Lamb” for $10 program! Maybe that could at least maybe offset some of the cost of feeding these babies when mama is a dud. Love you, Sandi! YOU are the reason so many of us smile when we see your video notification! 🥰🫶🏽🇺🇸 Love from Missouri
The golden girls look amazing. 💗Remembeing back when they were afraid of the grass and now look at them living their best lives. =)
I LOVE the way the mamas always look at you when you're checking out the newborns, they seem so proud 😂"Look what I made, human! Are you happy? :3"
Sandi.
There are so many that get great joy from walking alongside you as you sheep farm. There is so much content in your video's, much is openly visible, and some is visible to a farmers eye, all content is great. Thank You so much lady, please take care. 🙏🤗💕😁
Hang tight, Sandi, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!! This could just be a perfect storm of a little bit of everything coming crashing down on you while you're also worried about your daughter. (I had previously put the above at the end of this comment, but I felt you needed to read it first.) Tomatoes with her lamb-like hop / ewe stomp is always a treasure during many sad occurrences on a video despite her bad habits. I think this should be called the "Season of the Bad Feeding", "Season of the Bad Feeding Schedule" or some such. It's a life lesson for sure that you're going to avoid replicating. God and Nature tests us in many ways and we have to listen. You know this already, but go over everything with your current notes, previous year notes, your vets near and far, other sheep farmers, and your own feed. What have you done differently? Have the other farmers had any problems or had similar situations--at all! Talk to Mike about your feed if you haven't already--any changes from previous years? Similarities? Check your notes for those years. So far the vets seem to not have any disease issues to correlate to your dead lamb problems, but if it's not the feed--what is it?! Is it the vaccines/meds you purchased recently? It's a long shot, but "bad batches" do happen--rarely. There is also medication resistance. I'd almost wish the local vet college would test all your sheep, but it IS possible just getting rid of a lot of the older ewes and bringing in new ram stock will be what you need. You could bring this up with other farmers and vets and see if that's part of the problem. Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping the worst of this "perfect storm" is over.
I’d say those young rams are looking substantial!❤
Oh how wonderful to see the golden girls today. I hope the lambs across the street are ok too. i miss the little sixtruiplite.
Thank you so kindly!🐑 🐑
Sandi, you are a super strong, woman, and you know the best for your sheep. No matter the outcome, you will get through these difficult losses, which you could have never predicted.
And, when this lambing session is done, you can sit back and you will learn what caused these issues.
But for right now, you have mommies who need your assistance and so many baby bottle lambs that need you too.
Many of us are praying for you too.🙏🏻♥️
Congratulations on your new boys. Baby lambs are precious romping. All huddled together to stay warm.🐑🐑💕
It’s not an ungodly hour. ITS SANDI BROCK O’CLOCK!
Thanks for letting us be part of your life even when you have an overload going on. Love you & the lambs💗 Hope Jess gets good news at her appointments!
Hi, I don't want to be insensitive by asking but what are her daughter's appointments for?
@@laneyperez They haven't said, she has been having health problems. Surgery a couple of times. Like all mom's it's hitting Sandi hard.
It’s like all the other golden girls were so excited to see you & were telling you about big mama being stuck! So cute!
My heart stops when I'm waiting for any lambs first breath!! I love all the ewe lambs and babies!! Thank you for your video!
Blessings and well wishes to "your" Jess, I feel like I'm her grandma!! 😊
I'm sorry you are having such a hard lambing on top of everything else you have going on. I sympathize with you. My daughter is disabled and the week before she turned 10 I got told she wouldn't live to her 20th birthday. She is now 16 and thriving after a few ops and a lot of love. We watch you videos ( I watch, she listens as she's visually impaired, but it makes her smile hearing the lambs ) you are amazing and have seen us through some hard times. I hope that the rest of the lambing goes smoothly. And you know you lighten people's days by just being you x
I love how the mamas look up at Sandi when she walks up in the morning like "look what I did!?"
Sandi, this lambing feels like it's been especially emotional, given that Jess is getting diagnoses that aren't what we wish for. Our hearts & prayers are with you & your family 🙏💕💕
Continued prayers for Jess. Yes this has been a rough one!
I love the way farmers help each other. Wish we all did the same
Speaking of Belinda, I was so happy to find out she’s gonna have a boy soon! You’re a great secret keeper Sandi!
YAAAAASSS!!
What channel?
The golden girls are so happy and living their best lives. Makes me smile .
Man the last day in this video...What a tough day! Well done for making it through, you try so hard for these animals and I am glad that you do so much for them. 🥰
Sandy I love watching all your videos, and I wish things in your personal life, your daughter included, gets better and things get sorted out for the better. Hope there is some good news for her and whatever it is that is going on. Personal life day to day can be draining sometimes and with the added medical issues, it is especially hard not to sit with it throughout the day. Thinking of you all and sending healing wishes!!
Hopefully the next lambing is not at hard on you mentally or physically!! Hopefully the feed situation gets sorted out and no more issues with the mommas!! 💝
I love when I get to start my morning with such adorable babies and the amazing Sandi! It just makes me day. ❤️🐑❤️
Seeing you worry is heartbreaking. Just know we are sending Jess love and praying for you all❤
Little lambs in tiny sweaters is the cutest thing ever.
Hi Sandi,
The exhaustion level and loss of lambs is hard to watch.
Knowing that Jess is having a rough time is also hard.
I know all she wants to do is feel good and do well in school!
I'm trying to send all of my positive thoughts your way for all of your endeavors.
I'm glad it's not quite time for Mark to get busy yet and that he can be supportive.
I hope he's healing well, too.
Best wishes!🍀🍀🍀
Sandi, you can depend on Big Momma giving you (and us) a much needed laugh. Billy‘s Mom looked extra fuzzy in her Winter woolens! Thank you for another content-rich video! Be well. 🧡🐑🐏🌽🌾🍼🙏🏼
I wanted to let you know that you have brightened my day. I am laying in a hospital bed in Texas. Just diagnosed with Belspalsy. Can only watch with one eye, but it is loving what it is seeing. I can only smile with half my face, but it is all because of the love you give your flock. Love you Sandy.
I am so sorry you are walking such a hard road. All my best wishes to you.
My mum had that about 30yrs ago,. She recovered really well even her taste buds on the paralysed side came back. Just be brave and confident in yourself still! It's temporary 💞
My husband has had a few rounds of Bells Palsy, several years apart, and each time has fully recovered. Hoping your recovery is as successful as my hubby’s!
One of our sons had it twice. Almost completely back to normal (his ability to pucker to whistle is still affected, so that's pretty mild as residual damage goes). May God grant full healing for you. 💝🙏
I’m so sorry you have come down with B.P. I had it 5 months ago! I still have a bit of an weakness in the eye sand mouth… barely! Take. Good care of yourself! Prayers rising!
I think it so funny how all your golden girls follow you around. I must also tell you that I am so glad you don't use click bait for your captions. Your just real, honest, sometimes brutal but you show us the truth in farming. Thank you for that!
You must be exhausted, and these mamas having quads and quints, never have I seen so many. Sorry for the losses, wish there was a way to control how many eggs get fertilized. Hope Jess is doing well, and coming along in a positive way. Thanks Sandi, appreciate the update.
Sandi, thank you for sharing these parts of your life with us even though you're dealing with so much right now. We all love seeing these beautiful, sweet lambs and sheep. Loved seeing sassy Big Mama looking at you like, "It's about time you're here, Madam. Please, let me out." Sending positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family. 🫂
Sandi-warm hug to you from this Wisconsin mama. It must seem like life is beating you up from every side right now. Physically in the barn with so many lambs, but emotionally and mentally with Jess. You are beautiful in every sense of the word. Stay strong. 😘
I looove the dark stripe on the faces of the new boys, so distinctive
God Bless you for all you are doing. So much on your plate as the saying goes. Many prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for Jess and you all during these trying times. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kinsey is always so eager to get in the barn. Lucy, not so much 🤣🤣🤣
Lucy is NOT a morning person 🤣
Lucy likes to baby sit the heater box babies! Good job.
Prayers for Jess. Good to see the Golden girls again. Sandi you are doing a great job. 🐑 💜
The Golden Girls look almost rejuvenated, galloping along. Glad to see they're doing well. And you'll get the stills and the blowouts under control. Remember every time you learn more.❤❤
Wishing Jess a quick recovery! Get well soon! Lovely young lady.
Your sheep always seem so happy to see you, and very proud to show you their babies.
"See what I did!?!?"
My cockatiels did the same thing when I'd inspect their eggs.
Ditto!
I love lambing but I’ve missed the Golden Girls. Happy to have both in a video: such a treat. 😊
Sandi no doubt this is a rough lambing. Bless you and Clarissa. I know you are getting tired. Stress alone takes a toll. Prayers for Jess and your family. We love the Brock’s.
That Billy twin is such a lovely ewe. I hope she improves as I know you love her also.❤️🙏
The Golden Girls always make happy 😊
The golden girls look like they are living there best life.
They sure do. I wish I could be a Golden Girl too. They would be sweet to hang out with.
The little babies faces are so precious when they look up at the camera!!
Love Love waching these Videos... it's heartbreaking seeing her dealing with stillborns or deformed lambs. Nature has a way of taking care of those precious lambs.
Always encouraging the Mama during labor....Wonderful , kind, compassionate person to all involved
Prayers for Jess's health & wellbeing for all your family 🙏🙏 also prayers for wisdom & compassion & time for all of health care team attending Jess 💕💕
Amen to that ❤
So many lambs. Sandi you are wonderful. Thinking of Jess and praying she gets better. Take breath Sandi we are here for you❤
Love you and your family, Sandi. You and Jess are never far from my thoughts. You are Superwoman for all you do.
