    They are adorable when they run. I loved how a couple of mamas ran a little also.

    Someone needs to go through all the videos and do a compilation of all the lampedes. I could watch them run back and forth all day!

    I love how each time they run, they pick up more and more lambs. It’s so cute!

    Oh that Itty Bitty Lamb has gotten so big!! Also I hope you keep that Holstein one because I have never seen a lamb like him!! But at the end of the video it is so cute how the one pen of lambs started to run and then the pen next to them wanted to join!! They are just so adorable!!! GREAT JOB SANDI!!!🐑🐑🐑💗💗💗🐑🐑🐑

    Regarding a recent video and your award from CZcams. You earned it. You have over 175,000 subscribers from people interested in sheep and farm life. That's a fairly particular subset of the CZcams audience. You should be proud. I think that as women we underplay and undervalue ourselves. I saw it as a paralegal writing physician contracts. Men pound (not literally) their chests and boast their accomplishments. It can take 6+ months because they negotiate their contracts to death (everything from money to better parking spots). While the vast majority of female physicians grumble and just sign. Do this every year for 30 years and he's working better hours for more money and she's still working holidays and earning sometimes $500K less a year (and parking on the roof). So, maybe we need to take a lesson from the men. Rejoice in our accomplishments. Pat ourselves on the back. And DEMAND OUR WORTH. So, put up that plaque and say "wow, look what I did, I worked hard and got an award."

    • @SandiBrock

      Thank you so much!!! Stay tuned... I finally opened up my silver play button for you guys in a video! I’ve been sitting on it for months!

    I love the lampedes and it looked like the two pens were having races! I really like lambing seasons with you. I learn a lot and encourage you especially on your bad days. Keep up the great work you’re doing. Every season is a learning experience. Embrace it and own it.

    • @susanmarsh4351
      @susanmarsh4351 Před 4 lety

      When sheep are able to be raised in fields the lambs love running up and down and around dams both on the steep banks and off the steep banks.

  • @donnajeffery8267
    @donnajeffery8267 Před 4 lety +2

    I just enjoy watching you and your sheep and all the chores both dirty and not so dirty it’s all fun so thank you for taking me along on what I can only describe as a rollercoaster of emotions and the fun of watching little lambs play which I could watch all day

  • @reginapeace3483
    @reginapeace3483 Před 4 lety +4

    You are never boring! Love watching and learning from you. Thanks for updating us on those particular lambs, I know I often wonder about the difficult, scary, or iffy ones later. I enjoy whatever you share and appreciate the careful balance you keep between all the hats you wear. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.

  • @samanthahaakenson4413
    @samanthahaakenson4413 Před 4 lety +1

    You are such an inspiration! I admire all your hard work. Thank you for all the education. I just finished my first year owning my 15 little sheep. My lambing season went smoothly. Once again thank you for the information and God bless!

  • @silvershadow013
    @silvershadow013 Před 4 lety +5

    Its almost like a flash stampede! One or two start then both pens are doing it! It looks funny when the ewes try to run with them.😅🐑

    Lambing is officially over.... until the next group!!!! There's always more to eagerly await!! Right now we get to enjoy the aftermath with lambs growing and the new breeding!!! Holstein is GORGEOUS!!!! I hope you keep him! These babies are growing like weeds!!
    My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!

  • @alienebranhamedge7687
    @alienebranhamedge7687 Před 4 lety +1

    It makes my heart sing to see how well the lil bitties, the big headed, and the others do so well. Personally, I think you are too tough on yourself. You are a phenomenal woman and surrogate lamb Mum. Your presence gave a first time Mum the confidence to eventually feed her babies on her own. If I were a ewe, I'd be clueless when it came to taking care of my lambs. I'll be the first to admit when I had my first son in 1983, it took me a couple of days to figure out breastfeeding. So, I am giving you major kudos for your lambing season.

  • @KathysFlog
    @KathysFlog Před 10 měsíci

    My 'lamb" (7 years old now) bounces up the garden like this when she is happy. Stamping on all four feet and coming to halt behind me. When her brother was alive he'd get so carried away he'd end up bouncing sideways and often fell over. I love it. I love watching your lambs rushing back and forth, or running around the creep feeders. Thank you for your videos. Hope you're all enjoying chemo free time and recovering a little from the intense 3 months.

    Holstein and Billy are my favourite!

  • @jenng2454
    @jenng2454 Před 4 lety +1

    I actually think this was a great lambing for you! I saw your patience get stronger and your ability to walk away more to let them momma work that baby out on her own. I know those were both things you’d dais you had wanted to do. Proud of you!!!!

  • @kristinreynolds577
    @kristinreynolds577 Před 4 lety +3

  • @teresanewlands6056
    @teresanewlands6056 Před 4 lety +1

    So happy that this group went as well as it did. One thing I noticed with the lambs having more room you don't seem to have had many injuries to the lambs (ie broken legs). Maybe with the more room they are not tripping on one another. Have a great day. From Teresa Stanthorpe Queensland Australia

      Yes you see this with young ewes-maiden mums. They still live a little of their childhood. When these ewes were weaned snd before they were mated you could see them running in the pens.

  • @18kellso
    @18kellso Před 4 lety +16

    This felt like the most relaxed lambing since I started watching since December. Did it feel more chill this time around for you? I love all your videos. It makes my day to get a notification that a new video has been uploaded.

    Big headed lamb looks like a story book lamb with it's big eyes. It's so cute. I'm so glad it made it.
    Will you give the Ewe that had to be tied up to feed another chance? I think you said this was her 1st time. She did love her lambs.

    I watch every video you make and I have gone back to the beginning and began watching those also. I love your channel, struggles and all, because that is real life. The life of a farmer is the hardest I think its a 24/7 job and all heart and sweat. I am not a farmer but I sure do respect them all. I live in a very rural county in NY State, lots of farmers here.

    Hi Sandi, can't believe it's over again, it really does go so fast, cant wait for next lambing, you did such an awesome job, my 4yr old girl wants you to call the lamb that had a big head "Sadie" lol I hope you see this message and consider that, she would be soooooo elated. Thanks for the content and we are so happy we get to see more detail, love you xx

  • @LizzyMarieTina
    @LizzyMarieTina Před 4 lety +2

    I love the "lampedes"! Lanbs playing are just the cutest things! I'm glad this time of lambing wasn't too bad for you. As much as I love all the "drama" per se of the lambs, I worry you'll get burned out quickly if you push yourself too much with CZcams videos. Love from Nebraska!

    • @SandiBrock
      @SandiBrock  Před 4 lety

      Very true!! I have to be careful during lambing for sure. The videos are hard to keep up to date when I’m in the heat of lambing!

  • @sharonfeatherstone8219

    Sandi the lambing is always such a great time of year. My goats kid late spring so the weather is nicer. But even if you had all the singles you didn't loose many. And that's good!!

    Hi again SANDI
    None or not much drama is a great thing! Any serious person knows that for sure!!
    Both pens running together oh so cute!
    Such good exercise.
    Really enjoy listening to your lambing recap. So wonderful how with your comparisons to prior lambings you always learn better ways of doing things.
    I know you didn't get the numbers but overall things seem to go smoother and yes with less drama. Now you'll have this one in the books to compare with the next. I thought you did a really good job with all this time. Hope you feel you did too.
    Thx as always for all you do to share. Catcha next time...

  • @davidfarner2768

    Thank you for always being open and honest. It would be so easy for you just to show the positive aspects of raising sheep. I know each loss must be hard and each time you put one up your open yourself up for judgment and criticism, but I truly appreciate the honesty. Raising animals isn't all cute fuzzy babies, and you show that it is ok.

    My favorite ewe momma that progressed was the one you had to teach to feed her babies on her own. I’m so proud of you for sticking with her through the challenge for her. Hopefully her next set of babies she will remember that she can feed them on her own 😉

    I love that you are so passionate with your sheep and your lambs.I feel like your sheep actually listen to your praises when you want them to feed their lambs.Your lambs looked like they were having a field day race with the gate in between them lol. Stay blessed Brock Fam!

    Horraaay .. leaping lambs, how that makes my heart soar. Thank you, Thank you, for adding in that footage. Also, I think a first to have side by side lamb leaping, and racing back and forth, in the two sections next to each other. That was some frisky lamb action on steroids for those of us who love to see the baby lambs hop and leap and run.

    I watched every single video of lambing of farming just love both your channels. You both are so sweet. You have sweet kid's. Hard working. You both never stop but have smiles on your faces. I can't wait everyday for your videos to show up. 😁❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 sorry your totals aren't as high as you hoped. But least the mortality rates are down hopefully this will keep getting better.
