lots of drama with my mama's😔 | a miscarriage, an emergency C-section, and a tough loss. | Vlog 557

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- A bit of a rollercoaster weekend of sheep farming.
While waiting for my induced ewe to show signs of labour... she is progressively getting weaker, while yet another mama went into labour early with a beautiful set of stillborn triplets.
The next day, my mama with pregnancy toxemia finally showed signs of failure health wise.
I made contact with my vet, and put mama down.
I decided to perform an emergency C-section, with not much hope...
but we were surprised with 3 little glimpses of light.

Don't be afraid of comments Sandi, your biggest fans can vouch for the fact that you do everything you possibly can.
There's no way you can control what Mother Nature dishes out.
Right! How can people be ugly toward Sandi? She does everything possible for her flock.
Keep you chin up! Farming is hard on the heart sometimes, but there are those times when it’s real easy on the heart. The babies are adorable and I wish you all the success with them and this lambing in general. I love watching you go through your farming life and am learning a lot from you. Thanks for keeping going!! 💕
Absolutely true. Sandi you give your animals so much care and love. You are a wonderful shepherd.
These babies had a chance because of all the hard work you did with their momma. You were able to get her a couple more weeks along, and that means everything to getting lambs there. I watched a vet talk about knowing and older vet that would put a lamb into a black garbage bag up to it’s head. Lightly tighten it around the neck of the lamb open a hole on the bottom stick a hair dryer in the hole, keep moving the hot air coming out ( just like when we use it to dry our hair). This raises their body temperature much faster than a heating pad. It might be worth a try. I think you should build a warming box with deciders, so you have an easier place to put these little nuggets. Your creative, and a builder. Something where you can see them, control the temperature. Something like those oxygen kennels they use at the vets, but only for warming. Just an idea.
Could not have said it better. You can not save them all. Farming comes with gain, but also loss. She gained three sheep she also lost 1 mother over it. She lost two but, she also still has the mother alive to have a nother birth. Nature is beautifull like that.
For the record, I never get tired of seeing the little ones that show they wanna live. I NEVER tire of watching your loving care of them. You're like the Good Shepherd to them!
We just talked about the Good Shepherd in Bible study and I thought of Sandi.
Managing to euthanize an ewe AND pull out three lambs AND then resucitating them... And they're imature... It's amazing that you managed it ! I don't think people realize how HARD it is, even when you're at the clinic ! Good job ! Sorry for their mum
I agree, I had this same experience with a dog who had a heart attack on the table as she was being prepped for her c-section. Full veterinary staff, two owners and it was still all hands on deck and everyone working like mad to save the pups. You worked a miracle all by yourself girl!
I'm wondering where and how Sandi managed it. Quite sure that heroism will never be made public.
We appreciate you not letting Mama suffer any longer. That was a hard call, but you did the right thing for her.
And then bravery along with that kindness; triumph with the new babies!
Most folks, including negative commenters and YT admin, don't realize how well you care for your sheep compared to other producers. There are few that take pride providing the best care for the entire flock. IMO in all these health situations, you go above and beyond what most do. Well done and keep pushing forward and learning>
agreed -- and well done working so hard on that ewe, with as much as these lambs are struggling now, i can't imagine they would have had any chance at all if they'd needed to come earlier. they're lucky to have you!
I agree, the average person has no actual concept of the work involved to just care for animals, much less go above and beyond what is considered typical animal husbandry. I live in Idaho, we see it all the time, the lack of care or concern for their animals health and well-being. Sandy you are amazing, and I love your channel. Even though I cry every time there is a loss. Keep up the amazing work, you are valuable to the community!
Ben Jenkins, very well said. I don't know what else Sandi could do to make it better.
Well said xxx
30 years ago we had sheep when I was a kid. Ya win some, ya lose some, and you just do the best you can. Some would have put the ewe down and said to hell with bothering with trying to save the lambs. You've done good girl and don't listen to anyone else who says different!
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who tries as hard as you do sandy! You put your heart and soul into you flock and it shows. That ewe knew she left her babies in the best hands possible ❤️
"Mama said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this my mama said." You do all and much more than you can for your girls and babes, and some days are just that. Keep your courage up you are doing great. In Joy
I so agree!
I totally agree.
As the Shepard your flock Sandi you are Amazing ! You go above and beyond to save your flock and that’s all you can do. Stay Positive Dear. The Best is yet to come. Love from Alabama , USA.
Congrats Sandi.. There will always be ups n downs but you pull every day off no matter what comes your way. God Bless
You did everything that you could; she was just too sick. Amazing about the C-Section. The babies-oh my ♥️.
I’m so sorry for that mama. She seemed so sad. Hang in there Sandy, you’re doing everything you can. 💔
I've said before you're running a ob floor, labor area, recovery, NICU , and now you've added a prenatal sick area. You no longer have a ob floor you have a hospital! God bless you for caring and taking such good care of your sheep. There's a special place in heaven for people like you
Oh my! The passion and compassion you show for your lambs is immeasurable!
That mumma said, “I can’t do this any more, I’m so tired, so I would like to leave now. But please, take care of my babies, they will need you so much. Show them the love and care you showed me.” I hope with everything I have that those babies make it, not just for them or their poor lost mother. But for you too Sandi honey. 💜 GOOD VIBES TO YOU AND THE LITTLE ONES!!!
Beautifully put. That's very much what my own Mama said before she left this world. It's been almost exactly 4 years and your sweet words to Sandi brought the memory a bit closer. God bless you along with those sweet lambs and the rest of us too.
I will never get sick of seeing you working on saving lambs.
Oh, they are adorable babies. Losing mom was so sad, but you have three darling angels in her place. Keep your chin up, Sandi. You are doing great.
So glad you decided on doing that emergency c-section. Very unfortunate that mama wasn't able to make it, but she gave us 3 very cute babies to give us her memory.
So sorry about the loss of your ewe. I know it's part of raising animals but it never gets any easier. Your three little miracles are there to keep you going. God bless
Well said. I feel for her, it must be real tough.
Sympathies for the loss of a great ewe . Hoping her beautiful lambs continue to flourish as the mom would have wanted. You're amazing Sandi 🕊️🐑🐏 Blessings
Dealing with animals can break your heart sometimes...but then, there are the good days! Best wishes Sandi!
Momma hung on as long as she could to give her babies the best chance possible to survive. Can't be a better mom than that. Sending so much love to you little ones 💕💕💕💕
I don’t comment often, but seeing those 3 little lambs born alive have made me cry. I loved your comment, “Thank you for living!”
We can't have light without darkness, day without night, and life without loss. You have been blessed with 3 precious lambs. Their stuggle will make them stronger than others. Sandi, you are amazing and it's okay tell yourself that. You have dedication, strength, and empathy. I admire you and what you are doing. I have worked with animals all my 71 years. They have an instinct about how life works. Mama ewe held on to buy extra time for her lambs to develop more to give them a chance at living. Even then she was a good mom. And so are you. It is bittersweet but it's okay to rejoice in the outcome. Praying each day going forward will strengthen those babies. And take care of yourself.
Your comment was beautiful. . .and somehow it was soothing to my soul. I am the momma of 5 ranging in age from 31 down to 16. The first and last are boys and the three middle are girls. I am MASSIVELY struggling with feeling rejected by my girls when being a mom is all I ever wanted in my whole life (too much to blab to the world). But something in what you wrote to Sandi gave me hope - 💔 not even sure exactly what it was, but I will screen shot it and ponder it. God bless.
@@sharonb.7867, don't be so hard on yourself. Being a mom to willful children is hard. I, myself, have 3 children that I basically raised myself. My middle child was the epitome of middle children. As difficult as 3 kids all by himself. But, somewhere along life's path he has matured and turned into an actually pleasant person. It just takes time and patience. I have all the faith that your girls will someday come to you and thank you for all they have put you through. It may take them becoming mothers themselves to realize your sacrifices. Be strong and hang on to hope. You're in my prayers.🙏🏻🤗
@@sharonb.7867 remember children challenge their "same gender parent" as part of their emotional development. Also 3 girls together at this point in life, have a challenging relationship. The blessed part is as adults they maybe each others best friend. Hold steady mama, this storm will to pass. Children are work no matter their age, just a different skill is needed
@@terrisummerville2378 Your knowledge has helped me. Thank you for sharing with us.
@Sharon B. One day soon, they will have a moment where everything clicks, and they realize the respect you deserve. You are a good mom. And it shows because you want your babies to show their love the same. They do love you. They just haven't reached that age where they realize that Mama is their #1 and will have their back and always have. I am ashamed to say. I was 22 when it hit me that my mom always just had my best interest at heart. She wanted the world for me. When I was younger, I thought she was just trying to be bossy and nag me. But in reality, she just wanted to save me from the hurt and mistakes she made in her youth.
My son is 21, and he is basically my whole heart walking around outside my body. I worry constantly and want everything to go perfect for him. Motherhood is a blessing and a curse, because we love them so damn much!
I can't believe how hard you work! What heartrending work, some miracles and some mysteries of sufferings, just like real life, right? God bless you, dear lady!
I'm an old sheep herder myself. I know these kind of days. A win like this is what keeps you trying. Sorry about your ewe, she was a trooper. You do better than you give yourself credit for! My background is a little different, but not the love of sheep. My family shed lambed 5000 every year in Wyoming. I loved the life!
Good heaven's! 5000? That's incredible!
I can't even imagine the stories you have to tell!
Thanks for sharing. 🐑🐑🐑
Hey, I had family in Wyoming who were sheep ranchers, too. We were in Carbon County.
Deebe....I grew up in Cambell county.
She fought til she couldn’t anymore and she left those lambs in the best hands they could be in. Whatever chance they have good or bad, Sandi is and always will be their biggest cheerleader, coach, and mom!
Sandi, every minute, hour, day the 3 miracle lambs survive to thrive is a testimonial to your care. Don’t give up and keep fighting!
I totally Agree Harry.
@@marinemom5630 Thank you, ma’am!
What a strong mama ewe hanging on as long as she could so she could give you her babies. And you are so strong Sandi, doing what had to be done, and then saving the tiny babes. I hope you don't get too discouraged starting the season with a mixed victory. My Mom's philosophy for life was "one day at a time". I follow her words and it serves me well. From what I see, you always give more than 100% plus extra love. Can't expect more from yourself than that. Well done Sandi!🌷🌷
When u said "thank you for living!", tears came... I'm so happy for u they are doing well... And sorry for losing that ewe... ❤️😢❤️
Same!
Sandi, I was actually going to say I loved the idea of you having a sick pen/ triage area for the moms. It's so much easier to take care of them I think that way. Also the babies are so precious. I know you did all you could to help mom. She was a fighter, but she was tired. You did the right thing.
Oh, Sandi, you are doing everything you can to take care of your animals for the whole of the time they're in your care. I hope your comments are nothing but supportive and uplifting and inspiring for you - as you are for us. Sending 💕
I can’t understand how people can be negative about how you care for your folk. The love and care you give all your animals is a true testament of the person you are. Those 3 little lambs are miraculously and I call them miracle, hope and courage. Xx
Trust me, there's no reason to feel like your failing. With so many lambs there are bound to be a few that miscarry or have breach births. You WILL eventually figure out this preg tox I believe that you and your vet will figure it out :)
Mama Ewe fought for those beautiful babies, now with lots of love and care you will do what you do best. My heart is smiling for these beautiful babies, All my thoughts and prayers.
Anyone who has followed you, or been into animal husbandry or farming knows the soul wrenching facts of the life you face on a day by day basis. I love everything you stand for and send you and your family all my best wishes and thoughts. Take care, we love you.
seeing those triplets survive just makes my day.
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Your viewers are so proud of all you do and how much you love each of your sheep. Nature is and always will be in charge, hang in there!
Why people?! Why?! There should never be negative comments! What's their purpose?! Do you think others are less knowledgeable than yourself? Less kind or caring? STOP! NO ONE cares what you think in your negative thoughts!! Go elsewhere or shut it! The rest of us don't care, we are here to watch this Professional Farmer/Shepherdess!
Sandi, you’re an amazing steward of your flock. I wish there was some way I could repay you for the joy you bring me with your videos, positive attitude, and the love you show your sheep. Just know we’re cheering you on when you have a hard day.
The only way for lambing losses not to be rough would be not to care. We are so glad, Sandi, that you DO care.
Oh how I cried and cried seeing the beauty and brutality of nature. The love and compassion you have for your sheep your collegues, friends and family not forgetting the doggies too. I never ever in a million years would have even had a glimpse of what raising sheep meant, not one clue. Ever since I seen your videos and began to follow you I have been amazed,shocked,scared and euphoric seeing everyday life on your farm. You are a Legend Sandie Brock a true hero.
I so totally agree with you.
@@greenseaturtle4 As I read this I am still crying. I am so glad the babies are making it. Also, I am sorry for the young mama that lost her 3 babies. (I am wondering about the mama adopting the miracle lambs. But it may be too late.)
Oh Amen!! Thank you Sandi, you are Blessed!!
@@NancyBryantIdeas I think Sandi said she didn't have milk. Not 100% sure, just maybe heard that. Heart-breaking to watch the mom licking her stillborns.
Sandi, I have gad one of the hardest days with my health but watching those little babies 🐑 and how strong they are has made my day. I love your channel. Thank you for being an amazing person. And so sorry for losing mama 😢
As sad as it was to see mama ewe deteriorate, I'd like to think she held on to give her babies a fighting chance. What a good mama.
The mother gave her life for those lambs. She held on as long g as she could so they could grow, and have a fighting chance. Best of luck Sandy!
I really appreciate you so much Sandi all you do for your flock and family and to take time to educate us and give us tears and laughter through your everyday life. 🐏🐑❤🥂
Sandi, please don't listen to the haters. Your the best mom to your children and to all your grand babies. There active and their alive and that is so on you... 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 To Sandi for going out of your way to be there for all of them!
Big mama kills me😄her unspoken sass is EVERYTHING LOL! So glad those lambies have made thus far, so we'll always have a part of 🌈3.8
She can do no wrong.
My husband is retired and I am on disability. We can't get ourselves to stop getting up at 5:00 a.m. So grateful when I find a dot by your name.
Rough starts are so hard….I’ve been thinking of you and your ladies all week….
Sandi no one should criticize…… you work so hard to give your flock the best care ….. I admire how you pick yourself up and keep going …. I have nothing but admiration for you
Sad as the loss of the newborns is, it is great that you show the reality of your profession. Not all can be wonderful all the time but your enthusiasm shows how much you care about your sheep. That is also clear to see by the way thy react to you. Keep going Sandi
I am amazed each time I get to watch your video! I have zero background on sheep farming. You , yes you is the reason I keep coming back. I learn something new, smile a lot and mostly laugh out loud. You fill my bucket everyday. My life has been enriched by you. Your videos, you family, the sheep. I, Thank you. I seek light in this world of darkness. Life is for the ones wanting to live. Thank you for the gifts of seeing love in action, hard work, endless dedication, struggles, success, tears, laughter. Believe in yourself. I pray for you and yours. May they strengthen and grow. Take care.
The life of a farmer is a mixed bag of ups and downs. You're a strong lady; you and your sheep will be ok because you care. ❤️
It’s so heartbreaking to see you upset when you’re doing all you can. I know that has to be very devastating. I hope you cut yourself some slack. You are amazing at what you do and have the support of thousands behind you. Be kind to yourself.
I get exhausted just watching you! Amazing how tenderly you treat your lambs.
I had to pause at 12:09 because I started to cry. We see how much you love your animals. Even as babies u absolutely try your best to make sure there all okay, and yes it brings the money in when it's all said and done but u still love these babies and mamas. Nothing will change that. You should never have to be scared of your comment section and I'm so sorry if ignorant ppl chime in but haven't walker a day in your shoes. We love you sandi and your family and are here to support you in anyway we can. I never miss an upload. Your a huge part of my day that I start out with. Your stronger than you think. We are sending all our love and prayers to you. And of course hoping this lambing season will start to get better and im sure it will!! We learn from mistakes. Anyways, sending love and prayers! From all your followers. 🥰
PPL PLEASE LIKE THIS POST SO SANDI IS ABLE TO SEE IT! THANK YOU!🥰🥰
Couldn’t have said it better myself. ❤️
Your tenderness with the little lambs made me cry......don't ever change!
I am always so happy for the Sandi break from the world news…. Thank you … I just want you to know that you wouldn’t have to do anything except turn the camera on your barn and let us see. You wouldn’t have to do anything except that.
You are such a lovely diversion. I know the times are not always easy for you but you do it was such care and love. ❤️
I stand with Ukraine 🌻🇺🇦🇺🇸🌻🌻🇺🇦🇺🇸
I feel for you! I had 3 aborted at the beginning of my season (found out it’s chlamydia 😞). Had a ewe prolapse her entire uterus after birth. We worked hard at getting it back in and lost her a week later. But there are always little miracles that happen that far out weigh the losses and that keeps me going.
What do u all do with all the lambs? Do u sell them and if so at what age and what are they used for? Thanks
Aww my heart goes out to you Sandi!! I love the love you have for all of these guys!! You always do your best for all of them!!
You care for your sheep and lambs so heartfelt it’s unreal. It’s like you try to be a part of their family and a part of their lives!!!
I am amazed how you are able to carry on day after day after facing loss. Animals get to be almost like family after awhile. I have some farming background but it was mostly grain farming. I have realized that farming involving animals is really different because you deal with a fair amount of loss. Thank you for keeping us up to date. Take care.
My dad grew up on a farm. He always told me if I farm sheep I would have joy but also heartbreak. He told me that they are lovely and usually lovable. He told me that I would be up birthing nights because sometimes the animal needs a hand. Watching Sandi I can see what my dad meant. Sandi puts her whole heart into her animals. I have zero hate to give her. I have zero judgement to put on her. From what we watch Sandi is a wonderful Shepherdess. She deserves our respect and support.
The fact that they are making noise... Is a good sign. I hope they pull through
I heart breaks for both the mom and you when the ewes lose their babies. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you do so much to help these moms and it’s obvious how much you love them.
Agreed! You go above and beyond to save these lambs
You will never know how uplifting it is to watch you you and your sheep and lambs I never tired of watching.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your ewe. We all know you did everything possible to keep her alive. The three babies are a legacy of hers, and all your hard work. Please don't worry about what people are going to say in the comments. The people that matter see all the changes, hard work, and dedication you put into your animals. You are doing an amazing job!!
It’s truly heartbreaking mama ewe had to go but you can just tell she put all of her leftover strength in these babies to make them strong enough to thrive and that is so amazing and beautiful
When my hubby hears sheep/lambs, he asks "are you watching your lamb lady?". I am so impressed with your skills and abilities. I have not watched you long, but I am definitely hooked. Also hello from Alberta. When you were working with Red, I was here supporting you.
Sandi, Your one of the best sheep business women I have ever seen.
Props to you Lady.
We will NEVER EVER get sick of hanging out with you Sandi! You are such a blessing to The Sheep, The Babies...and your Fans! Keep Strutting and Cheers From Ohio
I agree but I am from Florida
I agree I'm in Ohio also.
@@debbiemiller3817 Cheers Fellow Buckeye! I'm in COWlumbus!
So sad to lose a momma like that. She is immortal through her lambs.
Thanks for posting. Needed something to watch while I get a breathing treatment( it ain’t easy being wheezy)
Me too. Im on my third nebulizer of the day.
Just took the first. May have to actually go to a dr this time
@@miranda862 Good luck!
It's very sad when lambs are stillborn or ewe's die despite your best efforts to help them. It is NOT your fault. You are not a failure, you are one of the best, most caring breeder I have ever come across. Chin up, most of us are sending you and your ladies love from wherever in the world we are.
Sandi, you are the miracle! I can’t believe how you’ve turned this situation into such a positive outcome with your calmness and professional aura
You successfully did a Ceasarean, Sandi! You got live lambs- that's such a huge win. You now know if you have to, you can do it again. Every win, even temporary, is still a win.
Please don’t let the negativity deter you from the amazing work you continue to do and show us! Thanks for sharing the good and bad , I support you thru it all ♥️ love from Alaska
Oh Sandi! My heart hurts for the tough days you've had with this group. I hope you know there are lots of us who feel your sad days right along with you! Your such a caring shepherd for your flock. No reason to be apprehensive to gander into the comment section because you have alot of support in your corner. ❤️
Hi Sandy, I hope that maybe you'll see my comment and read the whole thing...
I appreciate seeing the highs and lows of your farm, it's good to learn the good and the bad sides of it, I think that helps people be prepared if they were to want to raise or just keep sheep.
Knowing how insensitive and cruel people can be, having experienced comment sections myself on horse videos I have done (lol 😉), and being similar to you in having anxiety over what people think of what I'm doing and also struggling with self deprecating thoughts and low self esteem...I've wondered before on your videos if you could have someone that is less emotionally involved review your comments for you and remove ones that are unnecessarily rude, critical or otherwise just mean and not very helpful..perhaps that would be a help to you emotionally during times that you are already struggling with whether or not you did the "right" thing.

I grew up on a sheep farm and on my 4th birthday I came out of my bedroom and there was a baby lamb warming in front of the fire. His mother was put down as the baby lamb was the size of twins there was no way of getting him out. His name was Jasper Carrot and I bottle raised him. My best birthday ever!
Dear Sandy, I have found such comfort in watching your kindnesses toward your sheep and how they in turn respond to you. But I also I grieve with you upon a loss. Please stay strong and take time for yourself. I look forward to your videos with the happiness in your eyes and the kind gentle touches given toward your lovely sheep and the loving looks they return, knowing they are well cared for and safe. The world could sure learn from your examples. Thank you.
Poor mama. The one with the three stillborns seems like such a sweet girl
Sandi you tried everything you could have. Sometimes its in Gods hands. You did everything right. Hang in there and we are here if you need us.
The mama held on a bit longer and gave her babies a little better chance. Her sweeties are in good hands and she is no longer in pain. Sometimes that's all you can give them, no matter what or how hard you try.
Three little blessings
Brilliant!!!!!!
You know that the amount of animals that get sick, so many more lived because of your love and working with them closely. You put everything you have and more for those beautifull sheep. I envy you .
Sandi, those of us who love you and have been here for any length of time know the dedication and love that you bring to your animals! I’m so sorry that people can be so ignorant to not see that! You are such a great source of support for your animals and they clearly know that because they trust you. Animals don’t trust just anyone, you have to be genuine, and you are! Happy Birthday little lambs, and I have to think that Amy is looking over your little fighter! 💗💗💗
Who was Amy? Hope I'm not being too nosy.
@@KathyW5 Amy was a great friend of Sandi’s that passed a few years ago. The lambs were born on her birthday. Im sure that Amy is looking over Sandi and these little ones.
@@kristinreynolds577 Thank you. Now it all makes sense.
@@KathyW5 Of course! I love the community that Sandi has built! It’s so great to talk to other people about how much we love her videos and just support her in general!! 💗💗
@@kristinreynolds577 YES!
I was already fighting off tears over those little triplets, but then you said it was Amy’s birthday and I lost it. You do so much for your sheep, and I love being here for the ride, even the sad and hard parts. Thank you for sharing. I know this toxemia isn’t how anyone wants lambing to start, and my heart goes out to you!
Just ignore the knockers Sandi. I'm sure there are thousands of us watching you who would give their eye teeth to get to spend a week or so working with you and your sheep. I guess we are all here watching your videos for many reasons, but we all love to shares your highs and comfort you through the lows. Looking forward to living through another lambing with you and your Mums and bubs. Take care and stay safe.
When Belinda and you mentioned it was Amy's birthday I teared up. I know that had to be an already emotional day for you so I can't imagine everything else on top of it with having to put down the mama of the babies and work to get them out and breathing! Looks like Amy knew you needed a win. 😇❤🐑
So sorry Mama, Ewe would have loved these babies! Sandy has them in her care so you would be pleased. Precious baby lambs Sandy!!!
You are a great sheep breeder.
No matter how hard you try something always comes up. Don't get discouraged.
Sandi you are a wonderful sheep farmer! You put so much of yourself into each one and we are right there with you! Keep fighting!
The babies are precious, it’s sad that momma was so sick. I’m praying for your new babies and you..
Medical doctors try to save their patients, but sometimes they can't. You are to be admired for fighting for the lambs. I enjoy rooting with you over those little babies, encouraging them so much.
Thanks for posting. Needed something to watch while I’m getting a breathing treatment. (It ain’t easy being wheezy)
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Same here. Asthma sucks the breathe right out of ya.
Oh, I wish the triplets were alright! Been waiting all day for an update!!
omg sandi thats what i call a miracle..they are adorable,hope they get stronger by the day...i think you go above and beyond in looking after your sheep..i just cried when you showed the "3 amigos" trying to survive,,,...
That mama gave you a beautiful gift in the face of her mortality. You did the best you could do and that's all we can ever do.
*HUGS*
I love how hard you fight for your animals. I'm glad you share the bad along with the good. You're real with us and thats why we all rush to watch when we see you posted a video!
This video has me in the middle of the McDonald's parking lot in tears over the loss of the babies, your ewe and the miracle of those triplets. I know having to euthanize any of your sheep is the hardest thing you will have to do as a farmer. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. And those mammas too. I felt so bad for them. Nature is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time 💖
Thank you, Sandy. It’s easy to see the love you feel for your sheep. I so appreciate you sharing how you succor your flock. You are a great mama. 🥰 I need a hug emoji for you
I think it's more than evident that your flock are well loved and cared for. I know it's hard to read the comments that come across as rude and hateful, but trust me, the majority of the people who follow you know how much you care and we love you!
Don't doubt yourself Sandi..you are amazing..you do soooo well...the love ❤️ you show all your babies ❤️ is amazing ❤️ ❤️
So awesome that you got 3 lambs from that sweet little mama. She gave you her very best gift. Good bless. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Sandi. Can't believe I'm your 1st viewer today. Happy in CT! Sad story, though. You did save 3 babies -- that's amazing! You have such a hard job! xxoo Sent you a photo of one of my mother's sheep paintings on email last week, I think. It's entitled. "Big Mama".
