- BACK AT WHEAT and LISTERIOSIS IN THE SHEEP BARN.
After a few days out of the fields, we are back at it.
Unfortunately, these few days have been frustrating for me back in the barn. Looking like we may be dealing with a potential listeriosis issue in our first cut haylage.
I’ve been on the phone with my vet this past week getting updated on symptoms to look for, a treatment plan, and preventative measures to practice.
Bottom line, if you don’t catch them early, the prognosis is not good.
We successfully got a couple more fields of wheat harvested, and finished our custom harvesting for our friend Brett. However, we met up with a SKUNK!
Let’s just say, the combine spend a couple nights outside and not in the shop…
Stay tuned for the final few days of wheat, including BALING STRAW footage!
Thanks so much for watching!!

Poor little sweetheart, that is painful to watch. I do greatly appreciate you sharing it all, the good & the bad. People understanding more about their food and the troubles that come up and how hard farmers work to fix problems is a good thing for everyone (at least it is for me!)
I love this channel and I am a city slicker. Next time you guys go on the highway with the big equipment, make a sign that says you are only on the highway for two exits and Thank You All For Your Patience and Supporting Local Farmers. God Bless.
Don't apologize. We watch because we want to see all/anything you do. I honestly don't know how you do so much, for your lambs, your farm, and your family. - you are amazing and an insoiration.
Sandi, thank you for those drone shots - the machinery, working in tandem looks like an elegant dance! All in the beautiful wheat coloured background. I also watch "Just A Few Acres Farm" on CZcams and the difference in size of farm equipment is totally amazing! I know I'm watching a vlog from wheat harvest 2019!
I’m so proud of you and your channel
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You're the reason I still do this!
Just here catching up on some older videos. I got to say that the drone footage was poetry in motion.
Absolutely beautiful!
You are one dedicated hard working women. The respect I have for you is over the moon
Too sweet! Thanks Tina!
I don’t know you personally Sandi, but I truly feel love for you and gratitude 🙏🏻 for your children that help you.
Thanks Ronda!!
so glad that leg-break lamb is doing well! love watching your videos thanks for updating on the sheep even though you're so busy with harvest :)
I always yield to farm equipment. They're usually just changing fields or headed home. I've yet to see a farmer drive their combine to town on a coffee run. It's just a few minutes out of your life. Really enjoy this channel, the host makes it interesting and entertaining.
Thanks so much Phil!
Haha I know a person who has drove to timmies in a tractor😂
SAME HERE!
Phil the Pill We would be in a sad way without our farmers.
Thank you for sharing with us all the hard work you do every day. I love our farmers. Without you we would all starve.🤗❤❤❤
Sandi, I admire your family. You and your husband working together has to be stressful at busy times. I learned to listen quick. No time for HUH? The fact of doing fieldwork and the back of your brain is screaming Listeriosis.
Sandl your family is so awesome and amazing.l love how you all work your farm together. Thanks for letting us watch and learn about your family farm life. God's blessings and 🙏🙏🙏 to you all.
I love the combo of farming and sheep. Keeps it interesting. Love the drone pictures, looked beautiful. Stupid spell check keeps changing sheep ing to sleeping!
Wow, you really have good luck more then bad. I would never have thought that the broken hind leg on that pretty little ewe lamb was going to heal as well as it did. My hats off to you..Awesome job!!🐑🐑🐑 👍
God bless your honesty and transparency. Many would be mortified to admit a mistake, even if wasn't their purposeful doing. I have adult sheep, which are sick right now. just figured that out day before yesterday. runny green diarrhea. I think they got into a tub of grain that I'd mixed up. Or poisonous plants in the field. Three of the ewes have babies.
I separated the ewes from the babies, so the lambs wouldn't ingest fecal matter while nursing, which may have possibly already happened, but they are bottle feeding well and nibbling on grass/alfalfa. For the adult sheep, I wormed them just in case. mixed some DE in water w a tad of milk replacer to make them take it easily to help kill any bugs. Gave them the diarrhea cure= juice of 2 lemons+1/2tsp baking POWDER...added some Power Punch to this concoction to give them a boost. Gave B Complex shots to the two worst ,...cause they held still for it. This morning I gave them each a dose of PROBIOS(in case I/they messed up their good gut bacteria) mixed w a good bit of water in case they weren't drinking much. Definitely helps to use a drench gun instead of a syringe w/o needle. I hate having to try to get that syringe in their tightly shut lips, but drench gun...no problem, easy, less stress for them.
They are, ThankYou God, doing a good deal better today. I thought I might lose the Burnie, one of the mama's, but she's a bit better today....
yesterday I took advantage of the situation and used her weakened state to go ahead and "shear" her w tailor's shears. I got to spend time with her that way as well.
I love all my sheep. I keep them to fertilize the ground naturally and to mow lawns ;)
We're trying to have organic fields, so I am worried that we won't be able to keep up with the fields weed load. We're not established yet, but working on it.
Thanks a million for all your "OOPS" videos. Very helpful and humble.
ps. just learned how to mild 4 days ago, right before this crazy sick sheep get toghether.
Love Pinocchio! Praying for you and your precious sheep! Love all your videos 😎
THIS DRONE FOOTAGE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. ROMANTIC, IN IT'S WAY, A FARM WOMAN, AND MAN, HOLDING HANDS, IN FIELDS OF GOLD.
(UNTIL, MARK HITS THE SKUNK. MOOD KILLER.)
20:59 That was such a proud mama moment! Yay, Jack!
Thanks for discussing your soil building efforts, it’s great that soil health is being recognized and increasingly acted upon. Sorry some of your sheep have been hit with listeriosis, sick animals are always worrisome and you are extra busy with wheat harvest. Would love to see Jack’s handy stoplight system in action; pretty clever. We have skunk sometimes come through our neighborhood - our neighborhood borders rural/open space - and I only know they’re around because of the smell. It’s really strong for a little while - and overwhelmingly in your nostrils - then just fades away. Too bad people on the road don’t understand you’ll be off again in no time, they just have to slow down for a little bit.
Seeing your lamb going round in circles hit a nerve in me, reminded me of the 'Mad Cow Disease' we had here in England a few years back & the way cattle deteriorated, not good. But great to see the other lambs leg fixed..;-)) You were in my recommended list so pleased to have come across you all! Best wishes from England
Thanks so much for watching!
@@SandiBrock And thank you as well!
I'm from Ontario, I drive past farms and fields all the time but seeing what happens behind the scenes is really interesting and I love seeing it.
Great!!
I am so happy you showed this. I am new and have seven sheep now. Yet, I am sad to see the lambs go down. I am so happy about the leg lamb it is getting better.
Oh awesome! Thanks for the lamb with the broken leg update!!! Hopefully you don't loose anymore sheep 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Thanks Candice!
Sandi, another great video. I know nothing about sheep and wheat. What did know about hogs and dairy cows I have forgotten most of it.
I can tell you about cranberries, but I switched early and have been an earthmoving contractor for 50 years but still a farmer at heart.
As for the general public who think everything is all about them. When I can slow them down it's a great great day.
I have mantra I live by, " I'm not happy until their not happy" Lol.
I hope the sheep stay healthy.
Thanks so much! Sheep have seemed better since this video!
I was a little confused by the date that was on the video at 18:18 it showed Monday August 2nd, 2019. I found your vlog last week and have been binge watching since. I like how you show it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for watching Dave!!
Having a sick animal is never fun,all you can do is your best.good luck and we enjoy your video's.
Thanks Joe!
Another awesome balance of art, education .leaves me wondering how you get food and laundry done with everyone going full tilt in 5 directions
My kryptonite... I suck at this part... LOL
Sandi, you are an exceptional woman. Few women can do what you do. As a woman I’m very proud of you. Pat
Ah, love seeing the big 7120! Glad Mark figured out the issue...no doubt he would. Kinsey's hopping behind you like a jack in the box!
I really enjoy the reality of your videos. Sorry about losing some of your lambs, always tough.
Thanks Denise
Glad to see yall gettin the wheat thrashed and gettin it in storage. Btw I like that the female race utilizes everything when the carharts wear out just make shorts out of them. My better half does the same.
Waste not! LOL
Sandy your videos are just beautiful. Love it the kids can use what they have learned to benefit the family.
Thanks Kim!
I can't even imagine having the equipment hit a skunk!! Just nooo! So bad! Lol. Very glad to see the overlap on the rest of the farm and to see your family's journey.
The only farmer on youtube to play with his dog complete farmers
Sorry to hear about your lost a few sheeps hope the issue get taken care of ! I really like yal drone footage the music just right awesome 👍 lmbo about the skunk cool funny. Yal be safe
Thanks Daniel!
Love this wheat harvest series, so much great info! Drone footage on point!
Thanks Ben! Drone footage compliment of the boys in the house!
Have always admired your video editing, content, storytelling. It increases the level of interestingness of your vlog.
Did a bit if catch-up and managed to watch most of your earlier ones back-to-back, up to 5 vlogs at once. In contrast, I tried to watch Endgame on PPV last weekend & fell asleep.
WOW! Thanks so much!!
We had a family of skunks take up residence under our addition - in the city. Unfortunately our cats decided to have a "scent war" with them. Had to replace a hardwood floor
I’ve been on the QEW on Holliday it’s crazier then Michigan!!! 90-100 miles per hour. I have a heavy foot but those cars are scary!! LOL and you took your life in your hands going across with tractors.
Wow! Impressive stuff to me!
I remember once taking the combine down the highway. A car went by me honking. It startled me and i flipped them the bird. Problem was in the car were friends from out of state. Oops🥵
LOL!!!
Drivers are terrible with machinery on the road here too. We have flashers & beacons & signal lights & they still try to go around you when you are trying to make a left turn. A couple of years ago our neighbor was making a left turn into his driveway & a driver wasn't paying attention & rear ended his chisel plow & totaled the chisel plow & his car. Luckily nobody was seriously hurt. They need to realize that if they like to eat among other things machinery on the road is something they have to live with. Thanks for the video.
It can be so challenging!
Hi Sandi thanks for your videos they are very interesting to watch keep making them 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Thanks Ted!
Great to see little lamb looking so good. Great job ! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️🇨🇦
They both are doing so well!
We enjoy watching the planting and harvesting.
I love watching your vids. Greatings from Lansing, MI.😃
Thanks so much!
So I just found your channel, gotta say love it. Have been binge watching for days sick in bed lol I dont think you look like Pinocchio, you could say your Heidi and start yodelling lol
Another great video thanks for sharing your world
Love the video. I watch Marks vids now too. City boy learning something about farming. Very interesting.
Thanks so much for watching!
How do I find Marks videos
@@handsbiz czcams.com/video/FYdVjIfVa_8/video.html
Your axial flow combine reminds me: when they first appeared, back in the seventies, Deere was the only company that didn't make one. The story goes that one farmer exclaimed: 'If the Lord had wanted us to drive rotary combines, then Deere would have made one!'
They get mad when they wait for farmers or truckers but they are sure happy about stuff being delivered or able to buy all there food from store
Thats true...
Jack should open up his own company for ALL that tech /Engineering for improvents on farms!!!!
Great video 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Myles!
I'm a proud of you
Thanks!
good job with the little lambs leg!
Thanks! She's doing really well!
I love your harvest vlogs! Keep em coming 😊
Thanks Daniel!!
Love your videos! I may have missed my calling 💗
While waiting for your next 2022 video, I'm going back to videos from before I started watching you. The listeriosis story is so sad. I assume you're no longer struggling with it because I haven't heard you mention it in the last year or more...
I DO remember "frogger"! Great comparison.
Only game I loved!! LOL
**sighhhh**
Such awesome childhood memories!!
Wow. That Listeriosis is a serious bummer! How much do they know about this disease? Questions i would have - is it contagious between sheep or only from dirt? That lamb broke my heart with its circling. And those losses were serious in every way you look at it. Did any of those that came down with it survive?
As a city raised girl who comes from farm stock - i had NO idea those combines were so absolutely massive. You see them in the field at a distance and you don't have anything to help you with the scale. Until i was watching you fix that machine....omg they are huge!
Those rude drivers need to get a grip. It is such a short lived inconvenience for them, at the end of their trip - i really doubt it will show any difference in time on the road if they just slow up and give way! It's like playing chicken with a train. There is no way to win that one. If you make it - you grow confidence and try again some other time and eventually - well.
The good, the bad, and the ugly. All of it is worth learning about. Press on folks.
Thanks!
Man that's hard to watch....the sick ones ..... Can't help it but I've always figured that the sheep business was very though.....you look wrong at a sheep and they get sick.....and with animals you always have to be ahead of the game.....good luck.....never a dull moment as a farmer.....
Thanks Jim... seems better since this video... hoping the feed management is helping
If only the farm bureau would run ads on the news stations every spring about agriculture equipment in the summer and fall and what a SMV sign means!!.lol
LOL
Thanks for posting. Thinking I have a 5 month old male lamb with listeriosis... Noticed it yesterday, got him on la200+B complex. Droopy ear, drooling out of the same side... Not circling yet, but does walk like he's drunk / stoned.
Here in France you can’t go on the road by yourself if the tractor/combine or thing is larger than 3.5Meters or 105feet you need a véhicule in front to warn the people on the road and you can’t go on the road with the header on the combine only if you can fold it smaller than 3.5meter/105 feet
Right! We are pretty lucky our roads are as wide as they are! Glad to not have to be on busy roads!
Sandi, I had a bad outbreak of listeriosis in a flock I was running back in 2014. I had the finishing lambs with cattle that we were fattening on an all grass program using baled grass silage. We were feeding on pasture that winter. Since then I've tried to avoid silage when possible for sheep, but that's easier said than done. It was pretty miserable to deal with, lost 10-12 out of 120 from what I remember. It happened fast and spread fast. I stopped feeding the silage as soon as I saw the issue and it still took a while to work out of the animals. I'm sure you'll get it under control, clean feed is so important.
Oh no!! Its more common than I thought! You're right... I needed to tighten up my feed management.
Your operation is well run, you'll get the listeriosis under control. Silage that won't impact cattle can be trouble for sheep, it's the strangest thing.
What is it with sheep? Do they spend all of their free time inventing new ways to die? No wonder you ship them off quickly - before they choose a way out of their own.
They can be challenging for sure!
My grandpa raised chickens. He said it was always a chore to keep them from killing themselves
They do seem very fragile.
omg i cant but can imagine hitting a skunk.i mean ive seen woodchucks,ducks,snakes,etc come out of hay bales in the wagons,but guess were lucky never found a darn skunk.
It was brutal... LOL
I just saw a post from Tara at Beaver Vineyards on IG....'Farming is hard'....yes it is, hopefully things ease up for you and you can get a handle on the Listeriosis.
As the say goes...Change is good...I'm quite enjoyin' the tractor work and the more family oriented videos.
Thanks Keith! Its been much better since this video, so hoping the extra management is paying off!
Personally i love it all. I like watching the whole operation yall got going on. So it aint just the animals that draws me to ur channel!
Keep up the great work Brock family!
PS how much is straw in your region? I been trying purchase some for my vegetable garden but to know luck atm. Guess Mississippi doesnt have much wheat growing :/
So great! Thanks Jonathan!!
Jonathan Knighton We farm here in MS but you are right not a lot of wheat here this year and the people who do have wheat usually burn the left over straw here.
Do you know what is the reason not to grow it? Or if there is one. I've seen alot of potatoes/sweet potato though!
You are Superwoman, my HEROINE.
Too sweet! Thank you!
Your doing well Sandi.👍you should be proud of yourself. Right... I'm off to try to remake a lamb burger I had at a Diner. It was tasty. ..🤤👍🍔🍔🍺
YUMMMY! enjoy!
Hi Sandi! Hope y'all are doing well. About the listeriosis in your sheep, I have a question, and I hope it isn't a stupid one. Have you considered cleaning your sheep barn with a good cleanser and a pressure washer? I know it would be a hassle with the size of your flock, but I thought that maybe it would help clear out any residual bugs that could be hiding in the bedding, and reduce the chances of the listeriosis spreading to other sheep. Just a thought -- Y'all take good care!
I understand what you're saying about skunk smell, a couple of my dogs have been sprayed by skunks over the years and have come yelping., they literally were still wet from the spray and I immediately threw up it was so strong. That stuff sticks around on a dog no matter what you use. So gross !
How are you treating the listeriosis? You folks in Canada have a lot labeled for sheep that we in the states do not. Fortunately, I have a good vet who has watched some of your vlogs and is good about working with me. Good luck with the sheep and wheat! You are an inspiration for me!
Antibiotic, dexamethasone and thiamine... as per vet. Funny enough, we here feel like we still don't have near enough labeled for sheep...
Sandi Brock pretty much like treating for polio then. That makes sense.
Thats where you could really benefit from feeding wrapped round bales, no waste feed, always top quality.
No waste here, just need to take a bit more care when doing chores...
Battery drain down could be caused by extra radios not wired correctly, auto steer, GPS location all improperly wired. Remove the battery post + and run a tester to measure the draw and confirm something is sucking your juice been when all switched off. With a meter you can even know how many amps are being lost.
This is exactly the problem!
I had a dachshund that had a neurological thing that made her spin in a circle like that, she would also have seizures. So very very distressing. She had to be put down. Hope your lamb gets better.
❤️ your videos
Thanks Macy!
In your nostrils? Yes, when it comes to skunks, that's a common complaint. It doesn't seem to bother people as much when it's in their ears.
I appreciate your videos very much I want to stay on your list of subscribers thank you very much
Thanks Hill!
Hill Grimmer I don’t think Sandi has understood, you also need to add a silage additive and generously remove any mouldy patches should they occur. She cannot possibly do that with her system.
BTW I know what the problem is with you combine. The switch for switching of the battery has got corrosion on it inside the mechanism. We've got the same combine and the same problem last year, I cleaned it up and no problem afterwards..
Oh interesting! I'll pass that along.
Lol Pinocchio. U r hilarious
you are such an insperation to me!!!
Awe thanks!
@@SandiBrock I didnt know if you would see my comment so I decided to wait until you saw if you did to give the reason. I appreciate the time you take to make your videos, as soon as one of your videos is posted I immediately start to watch it. The reason I watch your channel is because I am a 12 years old and my dad is a regenerative agriculture rancher. Our goal is to have healthy soil heathy grass healthy cows and healthy people. ( its our motto) I am was and still am in so much love with what we do that I decided I would try and contribute to what we are doing. I got a sheep herd. This is when I found you, I searched for sheep people but since most of them are kind of uninteresting I almost gave up. That is when I found you, you are funny, educational, and great in every way. I watched every one of your videos in a day or two, and am always waiting for new ones!!! Sorry that I went on a rant there but I love your channel so much! Thank you for making videos. That is why you are an inspiration to me.
Two-tone kitty with fluid drive. ;-)
😂truth!
What happens when you hit a skunk with a combine? Does it go through into the hopper? Does it negatively impact the load, or in the grand scheme of things, do you just push through and by the time the grain gets where its going no one notices?
It didn't go through thank goodness... We didn't see a carcass, so thinking it was nearby and we got sprayed...
great video
Thanks!
Poor babies!!! Hate it when they come down with this!!!!
A neighbor had to dump all their feed one year!!! They lost almost entire flock!
Now they “Pop”, a lot of their grain for grain ;-(
Great channel Sandi. Question. When unloading the buggy into the wagons, why do you start at the front and back up instead of starting at the back and driving forward? Is it a weight thing? The lighter wagon (if there is one) will be at the back? Keep up the great work.
I'm never really sure... its just what was drilled into me when I started running grain cart... I think its partly the weight thing... If we have to quit and the back one isn't quite full, not a big deal, but if its full and the front one is empty, that can cause issues? I'll have to ask again...
Nothing like going full out on the fields, then having illness in your sheep barn. Hope you can find something that works in the sheep listo is nasty stuff
Maybe I missed it, but what are your concerns with the bits of sod as it relates (or correlates) to listeriosis? I know nothing of that disease. And I hope y’all get it sorted, whatever the cause! Good luck! Thx for the content!
Bob Crone She talked about it from 2:04 to 2:30.
Listeriosis is a bacteria that lives in the soil.
The tractors and implements were throwing small chunks of soil when they were cutting their hay. When she went to feed that crop, the soil was still in the feed and some sheep ingested the chunks and got sick because of the bacteria in it.
Sandi I'm a case ih combine technician from manitoba. Just replace the dang batteries. Your going to wreck your monitor trying to start it.
LOL. we did. Hence how it finally started.
Awesome 👍✌🤙🇬🇺
Thanks!
I love you mom
Just found your channel & subscribed enjoy what you're doing great content, Did I hear you say you're in Canada if so what part? if I can ask?.
For sure! We are north of London, ON
I hate crossing the highway 2 with equipment people are idiots. good luck with your listeria outbreak I hope you don't lose any more lambs.
How far do you haul your wheat from combine to grain storage? I suppose by using wagons you don't have to employ someone with a specialised truck driving licence.
Wouldn’t hitting the skunk ruin the wheat...just from the smell alone ?
Greetings from 🇴🇲
I'm certainly no sheep farmer or any other animal connoisseur, but I saw once where a moose had brain worm and it was circling scuffling and circling and circling they had to put it down. Is that actually considered wisteriosis.?
Sheep are clever not stupid
