A little DRAMA with these MAMAS. Vlog 400

- Ok, so maybe more like Drama Mamas...
As we approach the end of lambing, these mamas need to be watched like a hawk.
Lambs are getting big, and the physics surrounding delivery of said lambs gets a bit more complicated...
Over these three days, I had a ewe pinch a nerve as lambing took too long.
I had a lamb stuck, so its head swelled like crazy... but I got there just in time.
And a few others, that well, required some assistance.
Also weighed some market lambs...
I have to say, the lamb market in Ontario right now is amazing.
But left me with more questions, than answers.

It IS much easier to paint when you are putting a new floor down AFTER you paint. Great plan !
Lol! Sometimes we actually have good ideas!!🤣
Sandi...you have a great instinct about when to jump in to help. The delight in your voice as you help them is wonderful! Don’t let anyone criticize you or say that you are helping too much. You are the one that is there. You have to make the call.
Omg I love it..."I hate the office it gives me a rash."lol me too Sandy...me too
Me too 😆!
I love how my mom reminds me of these videos 😂 I watch these videos while I eat so if she doesn't hear the sheep noises she asks "where are your sheep?" 🤣💖 We love these videos
Awesome!!!😂😂
I love the new floor, the dark wood is beautiful.
Vlog 400!!!! Congratulations! 🎈 🎊
Your vlogs are bright spots in my day, thank you for all you do to make such quality vlogs.
This is a reminder to order more of the stuff you gave the lambs and make it a part of your lambing kit
I think this pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean financial security. I really appreciate the transparency and giving people a fighting chance during this troubling times.
@@frankpearson4678 You're absolutely right Frank. We should learn to create multiple streams of income and not depend only on monthly salary and wages.
@@frankpearson4678 Diversification of Investments is really a great idea for multiple streams of income.
@@frankpearson4678 I couldn't agree with you more!! I lost my job because of the pandemic.
@@annaalessandro376 I agree with you, I'm into stocks, Forex trading, property and making good profits from them all.
I definitely had to rewind for Kinsey. I adore watching her leap through all the pens
Wasn’t she crazy?!
Me too!
@@emma_m0 Me three!
@@johannebrsted6495 me four. She's fast!
I love when puppies play with older dogs! Warms my heart! ❤️
They play so cute,...if that makers any sense?
Congrats Sandi, 400!🐑 What a milestone! To do list help a lot but are dynamic like each day. Go with the flow.
Yes, of course I saw Kinsey and wondered what she was trying to tell you. However, this is more important today. Can I just say what an amazing girl, young lady, all around Jill-of-All you have. If my dad would have had the patience to teach me right alongside, I would have an amazing skillset for a woman my age. I would have had the confidence I lacked at her age. I had to learn the hard way which end of a screwdriver got the job done and that a hammer will not do the job of a screwdriver. I hope she never stops learning and trying new things. Well done you and Mark🖐😉
The Brock family is an inspiration with all their hard work. Love to you Sandi, Mark, Jess, Carissa, Kinsey, and Luci!
You forgot Jack );
I really love those modular pens and gates! They are so cool, because of the flexibility they give you. Wish I had had them, when I had sheep! You go girl!
I had to rewind jusy to watch Kensie in that clip and it cracked me up 😂😂 I bet she sleeps good at night
lol she got more than her fair share of steps in!!
Lol! Wasn’t that crazy?!!!
@@SandiBrock Kenzie even laid down in that feeder when you were helping the last one,
and the one EWE looks like she carries a pillow around for naps
I was thinking Kenzie was being an AH!!!! to the sheep thing to eat
Sandy you sure do cheer up my days every time you put on a video. When I have a bad day at work I enjoy coming home and watching you and your lambs. Thank you so very much 😁
That’s so sweet!
Me too, I love watching a video during my lunch break! Chills my mind ready to go back to the drama of office politics 🙄
Your videos are very calming to me!! They make me smile, laugh and sometimes cry but I enjoy everyone of them. I plan on going back and watching them all. I received my red and black sheep hat today. I took a picture with my Billy sticker. I will make a copy and send to you. Thank you for all you do. You are the best Sandi and team. (all who help and are involved at your sheep farm) My Billy sticker is going on my computer so that I can see it every day!!! 😊
@@tammythompson776
Oh! A Billy sticker would look great on my white truck!!! Hope you get more in the Market. They are pretty!!! You are an Artist too!!! Wow!!! ❤️😃
Had to laugh to see Lucy helping Mark with the flooring at the end. She is so cute. She gave Kinsey a run for her money as well when they were playing in the snow.
Love coming here to watch the lambs and you. We are now in lockdown for 3 days due to the UK strain of Covid 19 spread in Brisbane. The next three days I will rewatch your videos as it puts me in a happy place. Stay safe everyone from Brisbane Queensland Australia. 🥰
My Legacy Pink Beanie arrived today and I absolutely LOVE it! What a wonderful surprise of the Billy sticker! It’s so cute I put it on my laptop cover. Btw, kitchen looks amazing!
400 vlog posts to get to close to 250k subscribers! What a dedicated blogging farmer! Congrats on all your successes.
Lol! I like to take the long road apparently!!! But so grateful!
400 Vlogs; congratulations Sandi, and a shout out also to all the family and friends who’ve made an appearance.
You’ve kept (and keep!) us riveted. 👀🍿 🤭
Aww! Lucy helping daddy lay flooring! So cute! ❤
Those floors are gorgeous!!!! Good job, Mark!
I'm liking the to-do list - it makes your work and thought-proces clearer. You could use a corner of the board as a 'shopping list' for your lambing kit etc.
Sandi it is such a pleasure just to watch you work. You are so knowledgeable and good at what you do. My wife and I just love your channel. Those little lambs are so cute. My wife’s Dad raised sheep when she was growing up, so she just loves it. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
I had no idea sheep farming was so complex! As always, thank you for bringing us along. And the new floors are GORGEOUS!!!!! 🙂 Have a great day!
The bottle baby lambs are so cute running around 💕! I’m really enjoying how your kitchen is turning out. At this point in our crowded house we could use a kitchen that size😆! I wish I could cross off all the things on my to do list, but it doesn’t seem to happen 😊! Thank you for sharing snippets of you and your family, pets and of course, the ewes and lambs 💕🤗!
Wow! Noahs a big boy!!
He is!!!
Him's got freckles!
You need Noah as a ringtone! I would certainly love it!!
Sandi! We have the same home improvement time lines! Love it.
"I work with a bunch of drama queens." thought you were referring to Mark for a moment. :P
😂
🤣😂🤣
Well... him too!🤣🤣
😄😄😄😄
Just love the babies. Sandie I wish just 5% of our anc government had the work ethics you have. Lots of love from rainy Pretoria South Africa
Love your videos. Makes my day when I see you have posted a new one. Thank you for all your hard work. Love. Chicago Grandma
I don’t care about everyone else, I love ❤️ you all the time, when you are excited and over the moon, and I’d love to be much closer when you have those terrible days, I’d love to be able to say here’s a coffee go sit down -- after a huge cuddle for you. I don’t think I can deliver lambs like you but I certainly could stand watch while you could take time to get over all the stress that comes with you being the wonderful Shepard you are.
All my love, Ellen. Queensland, Australia.
Your kitchen looks so great! Super paint job, love the flooring and I think that new seating area off the island is ideal. Mark's little helper is a cutie!
Congrats with your 400th vlog. I watched them all. 😱
Wow!!! Thank you!!!
Just when I think I know all of your skills, you paint the great room? UNREAL!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe you covered that gorgeous floor!!
I know! But I think the new floor gives it a newer more contemporary style, not as much farmhouse. I would love either one in mine!.
I LOVE the new floor!
The new floor looks way better. Plus if in a few years time they change their minds, then the old floor is still there. 👌🏼
I was thinking the same. Covering ‘real wood’ floors w engineered wood is just wrong in my mind. Sand and stain real wood to the darker color if that was the desired look.
Sometimes things that look good on camera don't look as great in real life. Depending on the age of the floor it may have been refinished as much as possible, why so negative?
Nice flooring Mark is doing a good job. When you do the list we will have an idea of what is coming. I watch all your video's
Mark's mini supervisor at the end was adorable
Dedicated to Mark: I hope those flooring planks lay as straight as you cultivate. No GPS possible indoors, but you’re allowed to use lasers.
You’d think he did!!!
Too funny...thanks for the laugh...
Great job Mark! Beautiful floor! Great painting too Sandi. I love seeing Jess helping Mark💖
I am so looking forward to this after watching the news here in the US all day.
🥳Congratulations 400 vlogs🥳👍🎉
🥰🥰
Also the flooring looks fantastic with the wall color and black fire place!
WOW!! What an awesome video!!! The color of your kitchen and grand room is spectacular!! I absolutely LOVE it!! And that flooring is perfect with it!!! I noticed a few videos ago that Noah's tail isn't banded... oops?!? LOVE how you're introducing the new creep feeders to the lambs, I'm sure once they figure them out, it's going to be heaven for everyone!!! Don't forget to order a new bottle of Clostridia!!!!
I love the to-do list. So satisfying.
Lucy right at the end distracting Mark made me laugh a lot. Pets wanting attention is the easiest excuse to procrastinate for a moment of joy. ❤❤❤❤
It's a valid excuse too! 😉
Sandi - You are very organized !!! Improvement is always a good thing (the 1% rule- try to make things 1% better at a time and it adds up) You have backups and layers of help. You learn from your record keeping and apply the time it takes to cost saving management changes and such. Your glass is almost full and no were near empty :)
DRAMA MAMAS!!!! Much love for you and the family today and the rest of this week. I have NEVER needed a getaway, even for a moment, like I have today. YAY to the New Year still lol .... much love from the PNW
I just had my first doe kid. First buckling was perfect. Second was stillborn, got stuck head back and my friend had trouble getting him turned around. Hard pull after, he was giant compared to brother.
My doe was fine at first and then went south. Fought with every thing we could think of, but passed last night. She was my favorite, just started with 4 this year.
Keeping her buckling even though I don't need another.
So sad when we lose the ones we love. Lost the ewe lamb I had raised this fall, her name was Goat!
Awe... I'm so sorry for your losses 💔
Thanks. My friend kid sits him overnight while I'm at work, and apparently he did the same head movement as she always did. So I still have a piece of her with me
As a fellow farmer, who loves your blogs for all the reasons, I'm really enjoying seeing the to do list. How you prioritize your day, helps me organize my brain, too!
Yay!
I love the remodel. I'm so glad you help these ewes and lambs in distress. Most of them show appreciation. Good job. Your biggest Colorado fan. 😄😄
I've read in a lot of organizing books and sites that making a to-do list every day actually helps you get more done. Every time you cross something off it mentally encourages you and spurs you on to get more tasks done and keeps you more focused! I works for me....that is when I actually remember to make the list in the first place hahahaha!
LOL!! "Whew! I'm tuckered out, after all that work,!" 😂 Lóoks like you got a week's worth finished. Both you & Mark are making a lot of progress.
Kinsey Really loves her job! A tiny bit hyper, I see. If I was that busy, maybe I wouldn't be awake at 1:00 a.m. watching your Vlogs. ❤️
Good idea making a to-do list, I should do that, but I usually just 'forward'most items to the next day! Haha.
Thank you for sharing another great video with us Sandi! Sending you, your family, and your farm lots of love ❤️
Wow flooring is gorgeous when complete will be awesome!
Congratulations on vlog 400! Love the colour in the kitchen, flooring looks awesome too! Good luck with list keeping, I love a good list, nothing better than being able to cross items off!
You go sandi. You are the best shepherdess. Your care goes along way, and it shows.
My grandad was a beef rancher and crop farmer. He said farmers and ranchers are some of the biggest gamblers around. It is these types of choices he was talking about.
Thank you for sharing all you do.
I love your kitchen floor!!! Always a good day when we see Cinnamon!!
In the US,the antitoxin has been on back order since the spring from every vendor. If you have a source for more please let us know!
Sandi, your dedication and expertise amazes me! Love your videos from a city gal in Ontario! Jody 🇨🇦
Thank you. The puppy is growing quickly. Seems more mature in every video. Take care
your kitchen looks amazing, keep up the great work
That floor is gorgeous! I love the idea of making lists and crossing off what has been accomplished. You're right, it's such a feeling of satisfaction. Lambs are looking really good! I just have to tell you that your video inspired me to go buy lamb at our local meat market. I normally don't eat lamb because my husband won't eat it. OMG! He can go have his beef. I will continue to buy lamb and enjoy every single morsel. It is so tender and delicious. I had forgotten how dang good it is and I used to raise sheep! I'm ashamed of myself. So thanks for the inspiration Sandi!
So funny watching Rosie “helping” Mark lay the flooring. It looks great! 🥰❤️😂
Great job Mark and Jess, the floors look amazing!!
Wow yall are doing a wonderful job on your house..Sandi thank you for dropping these videos the way you do i look foward to noon because thats when i get the notification I also follow you on Instagram 💜
Congrats on 400 vlogs! Little Noah is getting so big!! And the kitchen reno looks amazing, can’t wait to see the finished result 😊
I think the lil lambs with the swollen heads are adorable!
Congratulations on your 400th vlog!!! That is an amazing accomplishment.
I love your blogs. I feel like I am right there with you, and I love it.
Question/Suggestion??? You have an available room on the upper level of the sheep barn that I think is a bedroom. Have you thought of turning it into your sub-office. You could have the computer connected to the house and enjoy two offices. It may also expedite things for you.
Just an idea. Have a joyful week.
Thanks...jan
Wow, brings back memories of the family farm. Used to raise beef cattle and I was the bull thru A.I.. Calving used to be hectic as you well know. Had to subscribe after watching this. Surely miss the family farm. Used to not let the herd drink water the day before shipping and that caused them to withhold poop if I can say that? Anyway disagree with the wise man thing. A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from others' mistakes. Cheers to you and happy New Year from Northern Alberta.
Love the way you set up the barn to accommodate the lambs and ewes and bottle babies. The kitchen is looking great!. Silly dogs, gotta love em. Blessings
Wonderful show today....Thank you Sandi...
I'm so happy to see whenever you have new videos up. Thank you for taking such good care of your animals and keeping things clean. You set a good example.
That new floor is amazing!
Loved the video as always. Mark got his wish with Lucy! What a sweetheart-and Noah still thinks your his mother!
You’re just so loving and so kind!
Sandi your knowledge is brilliant and I’m sure you’ll say that you’re still learning but I love watching you learn x
The ewe with the big lump it looks like a hematoma or a large abscess. Stick a large gage needle in and see if u get blood or Puss. If puss it may be hard to get anything out if at all but if u get nothing, it will need to be lanced and drained. If u get blood, usually they heal themselves without intervention.
It’s going to look awesome when y’all are done!
Story time with Sandy!!! Hooray! *Reaches for a second cuppa and hoping for babies...
LOL!!
I love watching your videos! You're so real and down to earth! I am a country girl myself born in Tennessee in a rural farming area. All I ever wanted to do was have my own little farm! Keep posting! You are loved!
My goodness loving the floors, Mark has shadow lol.
I marvel at your knowledge, fortitude, and energy. You are such a positive, kind, wonderful person, and cute too. I stumbled on your vlog about 2 months ago, and love it and can't wait until the next one is posted. Just want you to know you are a hell of a woman. GOD Bless you and your family.
Those who claim Lucie: Sandi, Mark, Jess
Who Lucie actually belongs to: Kinsey
Ha ha ha ha
She's definitely best friends with her big sister. At first Kinsey was so gentle with the pup. Even laying down to play with her. But now that Lucy is bigger they're really having fun wrestling.
I adore seeing them playing! 😸💞
Hopefully they'll work off some extra energy as well!
I just laid flooring in my bathroom and that was nightmare enough. Mad props for Mark doing floor space that big. Your new flooring looks amazing btw 🤩
Simply, a gorgeous kitchen!
The weight shrink is real. That was nerve wracking on 4-h kids for market lambs. Its the stress of the ride and new place.
Wow you were busy! The lambs are so stinking cute!
Loved the dogs playing a bit! The kitchen floor is nice and the paint job is a cool color! Love the new creapers!
Lets hope the sheep in the other barm put se more weignt on so when they go to market they are all 110 in weight!
Didnt see order more shot meds on your list! But you got qayore done then i did! I move like a sloth v e r y s l o w.
Love love love love love your work
That has to be so frustrating when an Ewe lays on her lambs!
So so much!!!
I think that it comes from trauma to her from birthing, whatever trauma it might be to mess with her ability to think clearly.
I'm afraid it is even worse when sows farrow- losses by overlying are quite often approaching 10% and the dreadful thing is the bigger the litter the worse the problem because big litters generally mean low individual piglet birth weight and temporarily low energy levels in the piglets until they suckle, grossly over fatigued sows with the birthing process, etc.
Most sows rarely have more than 12 functioning teats and natural survival says the strongest get the most milk and the weakest least = higher mortality in really big litters. Fortunately piglets are relatively easy to foster so it is easy to move some from one litter to a sow with fewer piglets of her own with a pretty good chance of acceptance providing they are of similar age.
@@w056007568 Wow, interesting. So is that the reason for farrowing crates?
@@MobyDicksWife Yes it is one of the biggest reasons in addition it can protect the herdsman in some cases from a savage bite from the sow providing they don't offer the sow some tasty morsel to chew on!
They also restrict her movement to some extent to slow her body falling to the floor and squashing piglets. In addition They provide a safe area to the piglets close to the sow so if necessary heat lamps or heat pads can be placed for the piglets to lie on out of danger from the sow lying on them.
When sows are kept outdoors commercially individually sows close to farrowing are provided with individual housing and copious straw bedding. Commonly these are low corrugated steel huts (A bit like a tunnel shape) with one end closed in and the other end similarly so except for an access doorway to one side for the sow to go in and out to drink and feed outdoors. In most circumstances sows will chew up the straw and form something like a huge oval birds nest shape depression into which she will farrow her piglets.
The floor is gorgeous!
Timing selling lambs is such an adventure isn't it!
Maybe with those huge ewes, give them extra pen space to move around with the babies? What do you think?
You are so amazing and full of energy!!!
Your inspiring me to make a to do list. I definitely need that, specially I’m by myself most of the time, well I’m with my daughter and husband, when he’s home from work and my teen is home from school and they’re both undelegating in nature so I have to find an extra boost of motivation and encouragement from somewhere else, so appreciate your sharing.
Love the new floors! They are gorgeous! Your kitchen is looking fantastic. ❤️
Sweetest moment was Lucy with Mark. Thanks for adding that :)
That flooring looks beautiful 😍
Instead of creating a to do list in the morning, try to create it the night before and go in the office in the morning to refresh your memory.
Depending on the person, IT can keep you up at might, if you do that before you go to bed. But, IT can be a hoi thing if you don t have probs with sleeping
Great idea!
Oh man I used to do a month long "schedule" that was more important for the first 21 days of a new flock from day 1 to age of vaccination, then my visits were weekly thereafter and not as important since the birds were much older.
Anyway, having at least 4wks of a schedule in my face made my life easier to see since it was age based. You could totally do that per lambing group...err well something similar anyway.
I like seeing that hay feeder for the lamb lounge! Do they like it?
I'd swap those creep feeders to be the long way. That way from the door you'll be able to see if someone is stuck and not after you've been doing chores then notice the derp who got stuck!
You seem more rested Sandi! Thanks for posting for us 😊
Definitely feeling your pain with painting... Currently painting out entire interior white... Covering a range of difficult colours including dark gray and bright purple... It's going to be a long job. 😜 Going slightly painting crazy already.
Oh wow!!!!
Remember to get some fresh air with it. Paint sickness from the fumes is real.
I think Lucy has found her favorite spot?! In front of the fireplace! That photo would've made great Christmas cards.
You guys are doing FANTASTIC on your house renovations! Keep showing us 💜
Miss supervisor watching dad work and making sure that he does it right.
