- Just when I'm about to wave the white flag on spring lambing 2024... (that officially hasn't even supposed to start yet) are some good things beginning to happen??
Our pregnancy toxemia ewes have now all lambed, with terrible outcomes for the ewes.
Trying hard to keep lambs alive, as they continue to come out cold and weak.
So many multiples in this group, and now I'm fearing what's ahead of us!

That little black nosed one is SO CUTE!
I know...I just LOVE it!! 🥰
Yes i agree with you soo cute🥰
Peppermint or Patty - I’m thinking peppermint patty 😆
She is sooo cute! OMG..❤
Soooo adorable! How about Smudge?
"Perfect, perfect" Yep it is SO good when Sandi can turn the tragedy of a mummy into a successful adoption for one of the multiples whose mama doesn't have milk yet! So satisfying!! 💕💕
Sandi, you know you have a strong loyal following, video has been out for 8 minutes and you have 1500 views! From a loyal city girl getting in touch with her farming roots!
Over 2300 after just 15 min 😂
At 56 minutes it’s 7504 views!
@@wheelie26 And over 2,000 likes!
Lol, I finished a long video, and what's the first video but of course it's Sandi and new lambs. I'm on it.....
And 10,600 at one hour!
I LOVE it when the lamb's head is shaking off the sac before it's fully delivered!! YAY! 11 lambs! No wonder their mamas had preg tox! Those babies are so blessed to be greeted by Sandi talking baby talk to them "Good morning! You're ALIVE!" 😊😊😃😃😄💕💕
SAndy thanks to you I helped a friend save a premie goat. WE slid it into a bread sac and put it in warm water it was so cold and it warmed up. A neighbor brought a tube feeder down and did the first feeding. Went right to a bottle 2 were born, but we saved the little doe. It was wonderful to apply what I have watched you do and it worked. Thank you from 2 very grareful mommas.
Awesome!! Next step is finding the sites & giving dextrose subcutaneously (just a tiny needle & just under the skin) 💕💕
Sandy has helped many of us with our animals. I had a couple baby goats with hooves knuckling under, and I knew to make the leg braces with toilet paper rolls. She has shared a lot of knowledge with so many people!
The only problem I have with your posts is they end I could watch this cuteness all day
I've been on a rewatch binge the last few days. I've watched several lambing sessions from a few years ago. It never gets old. Seeing Matty again was bittersweet. 💔
Well put! I could too. Especially the toddlers. They are so cute jumping and running around.
We need a lambing loop!
@@suz2715 just in case you didn't know she has videos where she combines all of one sessions lambing videos into one. So like summer 2023 lambing for example. The video itself is like 2 hours long if you're looking for something to binge or see nothing but lambing sessions.
Can-Not-Believe that little ewe produces quads! No wonder she was struggling.
I know nothing about farming but I'm obsessed with Sandi and her lambs !
Thank goodness for milk replacement! As if it weren't tragic enough losing a ewe, at least you don't have the added horror of losing lambs because their only food source is gone.
Sandi I just want you to know that because of your videos I was able to help our mini horse give birth. The foal was a complete surprise and I credit my ability to handle it alone to watching your videos. Thank you so much for letting us see into your world. ❤
Very cool!!!!
Congratulations on birthing your little foal. Mini horses are sooooo cute.🐴😊❤
Congratulations!!! That's totally bad ass!!! You won't ever forget that moment.....
Knowledge is power 💪🏻
Congrats on your new little one!
Sandi flinging that hanging mucus towards Piper to shoo her away was priceless!! I coughed-laughed so hard I wound up having a coughing fit. It was SO worth it!
I worry about Piper getting in the way of the Ewes giving birth and trying to clean and care for their babies.
@@dianebannister4591, do you worry about the sheep or Piper? I think those two can take care of themselves; but, I do worry about Sandi getting hurt by the ewe, if she lunges at Piper and accidentally knocks Sandi down and tramples her.
@@drddianesbryantI am concerned that Piper is irritating the sheep during birthing and after birthing. Birthing is difficult. They might get mad and stomp on her. She runs everywhere by the sheep and I feel tension watching Piper being everywhere under foot and if Sandi doesn't see her, Sandi might trip and fall. Sandi is sturdy, but she could fall on the sheep or babies. I never saw a "Beagle" herd sheep before. That part is amusing to me. My uncle had a beagle to go hunting with him so that it could help him in his hunting attempts. I've always known of Beagles as hunting dogs.
@@drddianesbryantYes, that point you made also is valid that if the Ewe gets mad at Piper and goes to ram her and hits Sandi who is in that area, Sandi could get hurt. The sheep are heavy.
Hi Sandi. Don't beat yourself up over the rocky start. You do everything you can to ensure healthy babies and their Moms. This is no fault of yours. Sometimes these things happen. Other than a few hic-ups, you have a fantastic group of Mamas and your spring lambing is looking very nice. You are awesome.
Great comment! 🎉 🐑 🎉 🐑 🎉
❤❤❤the little one with the black nose melted my heart ❤️ so cute 🥰
My words exactly! ❤
It’s amazing that the Ewes look so malnourished after having babies. I truly believe that those mommas just couldn’t keep up with the amount of nutritional needs of all those babies! Those moms and babies are so LUCKY to have you there for their lives! God bless your heart and soul.
It's especially incredible because their feed is so nutritionally and calorie dense! We've seen just how fat the ewes that miss or abort get. Having multiple lambs takes out an incredible amount of energy
I was thinking the same thing... Especially multiple multiples... I can't imagine how much I would have to eat to support good, healthy development of 4 lives in 4 short months. Those Ewe's would have to eat while sleeping.... I don't want to come across as unfeeling. In a medical, scientific way, it seems like a lot.
I'd say skinny rather than malnourished. They get stretched out like human momma's do carrying all those lambs
They look deflated after all those babies were pushed out, I feel you momma sheep. Been there twice. About to do it again in May. It must require a tremendous amount of calories to grow that many lambs that fast!
Ya until slaughter happens! So lucky!😢😢😢😢
Finally babies. I just love mother nature with all the new babies. That one with the black nose is so cute.
Where is nanny? I would have her ready and on standby just in case,but that's just me!
As you were helping the preg tox mama with her babies, one by one, you could see her flattening down with each one. Once all three were born, it looked like she was just as flat as could be.
Around 22:30, while Sandi was setting up the lambing pens, it looked like Willow was giving tours of the maternity ward. 😂
Things will get better. Cammy has had a really really bad start too. He started out with 6 dead sets of triplets (18 dead babies) and 1 momma that passed away, so it's not you it's just this lambing seasons in general. Keep your head up, We love you Sandi!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
That's so sad. Hoping things will get much, much better soon!
Oof, that's rough! 😢
It never ceases to amaze me! How powerful the will to live & explore & find that milk source & SQUAWK so loudly that everybody within range will respond. We're hard-wired to answer newborns' cries - human or lamb!! 💕💕
It makes me so happy when a Momma fosters a baby! Golden!
The little lamb with black nose and black around its eyes is ADORABLE!!! Nature has a way of not allowing the weak survive, it’s a survival factor. Not what you do necessarily.
That one is so pretty!
Your delighted "hi!!!!" when you meet a new little one is consistently fantastic
You have been so incrredibly generous with us, I must say that I don't think we'd mind much if you curtailed the time spent with us during your many-hatted life-saving endeavours. After all, it's the lambs that count. We can muddle through with leftovers and crumbs.
No need to apologize for leaving the camera off with you are up to your eyes in lambs - we’ll be here when you have a chance to post !
My goodness that black nosed and eyed baby is the cutiest thing ❤, hopefully smooth sailing from here on
Little panda lamb!!
Sandi, I've been watching your channel since 2019. You inspired me to get sheep, and I've just finished* lambing for the third year. I don't think that it's really possible to understand how invested you are and how much work it is. My first year I had 100% of my 7 ewes successfully give birth. Then year two, new ram, new blood, only half of them gave birth. This year is year three, and of the 7 ewes (only two were with me that first year, the rest were born that year or last year).... 6 have given birth. The 1-year old might not be pregnant. She has about 6 weeks left before I'll know for sure.
This year was the first year I had a stillborn baby. I had twins, then triplets, then what seemed to be a single, but the next day I had another set of twins, and found that the single from the day before was a double. A beautiful baby boy lamb, but he was either still born or got stuck while wet and out in the snow in my forest/meadow/pasture, and got hypothermic. I had to build a rock cairn for the baby, as the ground was still mostly frozen. Then this year I had my first ewe who needed help. It was a circus. I don't have any help. The other family members are just waiting for me to get over wanting to have sheep. So I get home and my only yearling ewe is doing the bucking bronco thing, trampling the babies, and racing around the yard. I got her penned up in a small area, and realized she'd picked up a meter long stick from the forest. It was caught in her wool, and every time she took a step it was jabbing her in the rear, so she was flipping out. I chased her above, but didn't want to get injured (my sheep are Jacobs, which means they all have horns, and some have four horns, and she is one with four). The temp was just above freezing, so there was a layer of slime and after 45 minutes of racing around trying to corner the ewe I took a face-plant, right on a jumble of rocks and slime. Tried to catch myself on the side of my tiny little tin barn, but ended up slicing all the skin off my knuckle instead. Finally I'd had enough, and asked my sheep-hating brother in law to join me outside the paddock. I figured that if he stood outside the fence, and I crowded her near the fence, he could grab the offending stick. Of course as soon as he got there she shook it off.
All while I was chasing her around, I'd been also eyeing the other sheep, and I was sure that one of the others was in distress or lambing, and so I opened the gate to the forest (they get the forest side in the spring, until the pasture side is ready for them), and in that instant one of the ewes stood up and her water burst as if someone had thrown a water ballon at her, just a huge bursting splash. She was/is one of my ewe lambs from 2 years before, so she had no idea what was going on. AT this point I took out my camera (only 14% of battery remaining, a whole other story in itself) and I started to record her but stay my distance to allow her to do her thing. I was amazed, my camera got 30 minutes before the battery was used up.... and then it occurred to me that I should get some gloves, particularly as I was bleeding from both kneese and both hands from my fall. So I went into the house, washed up a bit, pulled on some gloves, got a towel, and went back down to the forest. I decided to bring in some grain to get the others pre-occupied. When I finished feeding out, I noticed that my girl in labor had her head in the trough pigging out. I guess she didn't know that she shouldn't be hungry while in labor.
Eventually, it was more than an hour after her water broke, and she was making no progress, so I had to catch her, tip her over, and inspect the situation. Baby was nowhere near being ready to be born. So I let her do her thing another half an hour, and then she started to strain hard, bellowing like crazy, and NOTHING was happening. So I eventually went up to her and again investigated. I encountered a hoof, pulled one leg out, then the next leg, and wondered if it was a head back baby. (It is NOT easy to figure out what anatomy you're feeling while all squished inside the rear of a ewe!)..... The ewe kept straining but was making no progress, so I decided to try to pull the baby. They're slippery when covered in slime and I couldn't believe how difficult it was! I could see the little lamb's face after some progress, and I thought it was dead. Then I saw the corner of the mouth twitch in a very human looking grimace of discomfort. That gave me strength and I was able to help the ewe the nexxt time she strained. A baby boy! totally not breed-perfect, he won't be registrable, which is fine. Then I worried i'd hurt mum. And once I could, ,I got to my feet to take a deep breath. My forearm itched a bit, and I looked down, and both of my forearms are covered in massive amount of hives. Not sure if it was the tumble I took, landing with my forearms in unmentionable slime, or the slime of birthing, but something was having a devastating affect on me.
For me this was ONE single crazy couple of hours, after a full day of work. I know that you deal with a lot, and my numbers don't compare to yours, but what I admire is that you face multiple crises each lambing, and you share it with us. Knowing that others might just pile on you because from the comfort of hind-sight and a computer screen, it's easy to say you know what to do.
Sorry, I know this is long. :)
Fascinating! I was happy to read about your journey. Thank you for sharing! 💕💕
OMG! What a nightmare! Farming is not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. Glad to hear that it’s over for this year, anyway.
Things I loved in this episode :
Shoutouts to other CZcamsrs. ❤
Fostering success ❤
How you talk to the new mums and the babies ❤
The lamb sweaters ❤
The adorable painted lamb ❤
The music ❤
Your touk ❤
How honest yet upbeat you keep it ❤
OMG, Sandi is wearing a different sheep touk. I just noticed that.
Oh, Sandi, you have all my sympathy & ALL my respect! So hard to put so much effort into trying to turn those ewes around & then have to euthanize them yourself. My heart just goes out to you 🙏🙏praying for the rest of lambing to be much, much more productive & less of an energy-suck! 💕💕💕💕
Sandi I know you are so busy and we appreciate the video’s, but we are going to be here when you have time. So sorry for all the lambs you lost, you are the perfect person to raise these sheep, we see your love for them!❤
AWWW! Little No. 4 has got the Nanny figured out & is just busy monopolizing that nipple & gorging on the milk! Way to go! Teach your brothers & sisters! ☺☺😄😄💕💕
This video really brought it home to me how important it is for lamb survival to have a wonderful hardworking shepherdess to take care of them all. You amaze me!
Don't let it get you down Sandy!! All of us who have followed you for years KNOW you are a fenominal shepherdess!!! The rest just dont matter!!! Things can't always go as planned or they wouldn't be reality!! You are WONDERFUL!!
These animals do love to keep us on our toes! Shame about the bad start, it'll keep getting better I'm sure .
Sorry you have had such a rough start to lambing. So happy for us we could see you in action. Saving little lamie lives❣️🐑🐑🐑🐑
Sandi, another very busy video where you're showing your Supermom side.
No wonder you stay so young and beautiful.
I can't imagine all the lambing and the problems that can come about during those events, but then you're trying to find time to chill at the cabin with Mark and the kids, make Hot Cross Buns, and plan Easter dinner.
Girl... you're still my hero. ❤
I love it when the mamas give you a break and have their babies all on their own and they are healthy.😊
Who's roaring offscreen @ around 15:00? Sounds almost like a lion roaring on the savannah!! 🙏Praying all those preg tox mamas recover enough to service their lambs 💕💕
"Are you alive? Good morning! Goo-mommy!" I never get tired of hearing Sandi say these words.
So happy to see the special lambs!
Gotta say, Sandi and Mark
I have no idea where your energy comes from! I shovelled heavy wet snow from my corner lot/driveway and was pooped.
I came back in to watch videos of you both working hard while I recovered. Still brings much joy! Community Sandi has created a massive back catalogue of videos when we need a break. Many blessings to you and your team
Love Willow supervising Sandy closely around the 23min. mark. ❤
All those pregnant mamas with their hormones raging!! 💕💕💕💕
I know lambing is so tiring but I do have to say Thank you so much for what you do and making the videos. I REALLY LOVE WATCHING THE BABY LAMBS❤️🐑. You are doing a great job.👏
You work so hard, any setbacks you immediately jump on it. You amaze me. I can always see your entire love and knowledge doing your best. Live happens. Chin up! Thank you for showing reality. life.
Sandi, we know it’s hard to video all the time and if you don’t video it’s ok, you don’t have to do it every day especially when you’re overwhelmed. We understand that there are times that sh*t happens. Don’t worry about it. Just video when you can as we appreciate seeing all that you can show us.
Sandi you should make a notation on the momma’s chart when they are sweet and take on a foster baby. 😊
Sorry about the bad start, but it's going to be better. Thanks for taking the time to keep us in the loop. Take care of you, too❤.
These animals do love to keep us on our toes! Shame about the bad start, it'll keep getting better I'm sure 😊
I was just about to sleep as I’m feeling so exhausted but as uve posted I must watch ur video first!! I LOVE baby season n that lil lamb wit the black nose is just ADORABLE!!!! I really hope it’s a girl n u keep her!! lol xxxxxx
She said it was..So I hope she adds it to her flock.
@@thaismatsumoto I commented this at the beginning of the video n with being so exhausted I forgot to edit my comment (I’ve only been able to sleep 3 hours total over the last 2 nights I so hope that I can sleep better tonight) after hearing she said that it was a girl… She is STUNNING n I would love to see her grown n how her colours pass down to her babies xxxxx
The two little lambs trying to come at the same time remind me of my twins oh so long ago. The Dr. ended up pushing "b" back and telling her "Sorry kid , you're second"! They're both grown now and right as rain... You are doing an amazing job, I hope folks are being kind to you!!!
Wonderful that Lambing has turned the corner, slowly but surely!
I hate to say that I knew the Big Ewe who had gone down was not going to get up again. She gave everything she ahd for her Lambs, and simply could not muster the energy or the willpower to get back on her feet for herself. It seems sad, but she was brave and refused to give in until her babies were safe, so we should be proud of her sacrifice.
Looking forward to the next update on Lambin Spring 2024! Get some rest when you can, Sandi!
Even with the tough start, you put on a brave face and push on. Such a great job. 🐑😊
Sandi this video came out at just the right time for me. I am going through a bad time but you reminded me to just keep going. Good or bad keep looking forward. Thank you for sharing the good the bad and the ugly...😊
After watching Cammie's last video (love cammie!!), I think I prefer your style of fostering. :)
I’m just too weak…😂
Cammie only does that when there are no ‘cleanings’ to rub on. I have seen him use ‘cleanings’ many times.
Sandi please don’t stop making your videos to just make shorts. I saw the podcast with you,Mark and Cami which you said shorts are easier and quicker but we love the whole story. It’s very interesting and enjoyable watching your sheep,farming (field,equipment) and your family. We appreciate your time,effort and content. Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
Actually, shorts take me a long time to edit and I quite honestly don’t love making them… BUT I do make them because I know some of my audience is only here for those.
So no fear… I really like doing long form content so it’s not going anywhere
@@SandiBrock As you said on the Fed by Farmers podcast, "context is so important". Your context is always being the most compassionate, empathetic human being💕💕
Anyone notice the background antics of Piper trying to squeeze through fencing? Near the beginning. Hilarious extra content.
Bless you Sandi, you look so tired, I really hope you can manage to get some rest soon and a good sleep. I love watching you with the moms and lambs,🙏 🤗 💝 xx
A tip for using peanut butter or molasses in backing is to spray the cup or spoon with olive oil. Or what you use as a non-stick spray. It doesn't stick to the cup and slides right out. So you don't have to use a spoon to get the molasses or peanut butter out.
Great cooking tip! Many thanks!!!
Sandi, I'm so happy ya'll had a vacay, now its business !! ❤😂
I want to say how radiant Sandi's smile is when the baby lambs are born. Then when a lamb in the warming box improves, it's even a more joyful smile.
So sorry it's been a rough start for you Sandi, as you mentioned Mother Nature doing her thing. Really hoping for everything to smooth out, will send some prayers. Thanks for taking us along, hang in there!🐑🍁❤️👍
I love that black nose baby . But I love them all so I enjoy watching you with your interactions with them .
I was watching the sheep game I think yesterday and Cam was having a real rough start to Lambing too. Not that that is good by any means, but remember to be kind to yourself. You are not the one in control of these things. I hope u had a wonderful Easter. You are doing fantastic.
Sad start.😢 Hopefully, it will get better. Oh my goodness, cuteness overload!! ❤
Just a simple hi and thank you for all your videos. ❤❤❤❤❤
Rough start. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Sandi, you are amazing... you put your all into theses ewes and lambs always caring for each one. I hate your lambing session has had a rough start. Hopefully things turn around for you. Great watching Williw trying to help mothering she is so excited to have her babies. Thanks for a great video. Hate you had to put down a couple of ewes. It's hard but you did everything you could.
I found you through CZcams shorts and wouldn't have imagined that I'd enjoy your channel that much. I am very emotionally involved and cheering for you, the ewes and the lambs. I've learned so much so far and you are just marvelous, the work you are doing is massive and I think you are doing amazing for that!
Sandi, I love ❤ the new red, green, white, lamb hat!! Looks adorable! Congrats on all the new babies. Their all healthy and cute. I am in love with the black n white lamb. Just want to snuggle her. Your an excellent person to care for so many babies whom moms had no milk. Feeding bottles over n over. Thank goodness for the Nanny too. 🙂🦋
All the lambs are just beautiful but that little black eyed black nose one is so very cute!!!!
It is so sweet to watch Willow follow you around throughout this video. She's such a sweetheart and she loves you. Hopefully everything goes well from here on out. ❤
it's been two years since you got me through one of the most emotionally draining and hardest times of my life. if i hadn't had your content to look forward to every day to just watch, relax and have half an hour to take my mind off things, i don't know where i'd be today. i came back last january after my grandpa finally passed away, and while i don't remember any of the actual content from that time, i know it helped get me through the day, just one day to the next.
there's something about your videos that just, helps. there's been so many other comments like mine, just thanking you for being a bright spot in the darkness.
so, from the bottom of my heart, sandi, thank you. for your hard work and dedication both to your wooly flock and your online one. i'm doing well now, and occasionally watch videos still. and i know that, if things get bad again, there's a wonderful lady in canada who will take my mind off things if i need it.
Don’t feel bad keeping the camera off if you need to navigate through multiple things. I’m sure we ALL will understand.
OMG how adorable that little black and white is. You can call her Pandy lol
Sandi.. you are such an amazing and compassionate farmer. God Bless you Sandi. 🩷💕🩷
I know its so much work for you, but I love love love watching lambing, you do it so well! ❤
Sandy!! I asked a old sheepfarmer about sheep eating wool! And he said that you can get salt lick stones, im not sure what you call it in Canada but it is a big block of salt with minerals. And all of his sheep quit eating wool of each other!! I hope you get to read this!!❤
Yeah, they’re called salt licks in Canada, too. I do bet know that would work. Neat!
Okey i had almost the right name for it 😅 yea i think that would work great!
❤You have been amazing. Even though things did not go so well with losses, you saved so many of the little lambs that could have been lost. Things should settle into your lambing routine. Willow knew you need some loves. 💕🐑💕
It was nice the kids were there for Easter. 🌷Your hot cross buns looked delicious. I prefer the icing cross on top and my father who grew up in a bakery okayed it. He and I were the ones of the family that had to have hot cross buns for Easter.💐
I have to agree with everyone… that little lamb with the black nose is adorable!
You do You...we'll survive! Hugs and Prayers you've turned the corner!
Just want to take the little one white with black markings home.
It's so rewarding to see a little lamb adopted by another mother. It works putting the mother's excretions after birth on the lamb to be adopted.
Don't worry Sandi, you can't be the world's #1shepardess and a great baker as well but they looked yummy. 😊
😂😂😂😂
😁😉
Those who don't understand how hard your job is and who might not be your loyal followers. Can just kick rocks or stand by when you can get time to video. You had a ruff start but hoping that you can get through this lambing on the right foot now. I was hoping that the sick momma's would come into their milk, but the Nanny will have to help. Thank you for sharing your videos and the lambing process. From a viewer who's been watching you for awhile now. City life is so much different than farming or sheep. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the new ewes. ❤🐑🍼
💚🫧 SANDI, remember when you were a kid and even with your own kids blowing bubbles 🫧... TAKE A BREATHE AND BLOW🫧🫧🫧
I love and believe in you, sweetie . I cried for you 😢 and said a lil prayer for you..
You are amazing! The strength and courage you show us reminds me that... "WE GOT THIS BITCH, LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER "
Thank you for sharing, Sandi ❤💚🫧🫧🫧
I know there are bad days but all the good ones makes up for everything. Prayers, love and hugs for you for the rest of this birthing season. God Bless to all.
Oh Sandi, you put your entire heart and soul into your ewes and lambs! You are such an inspiration to so so many people! There's so many people that luck up to you! Keep your head up! Things are moving along so much better now! Stay blessed Sandi! I love you so very very much! 🥰💖🤗❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That's not a lamb, it's a panda 😂
So amazing to watch you and the new babies! ❤❤ Sending some SoCal sunshine to you! ☀😎
WOW, Sandi.... talk about a FULL PLATE this past week!!
You've definitely been put through the wringer🙀!!
Sending love and prayers the 💩 is behind you, and the rest of this lambing goes smoothly.
❤❤️✝️🙏🙏✝️❤️❤
Safe travels, friend ❤❤
Stay FROSTY...
Keep your powder dry and your head on a swivel...
🇺🇲🇨🇦WWG1WGA🇺🇲🇨🇦NCSWIC🇺🇲🇨🇦
You are totally awesome!!! You have shown all of us how you take one step at a time to get through the bad start. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sandi, I've followed you for a very long time now and you always amaze me. Your dedication not only to your farm but your family is absolutely beautiful. Even on your toughest days, you take it all in stride. I don't know where you find the strength but keep it up, you give the rest of us hope. My 8 year old daughter who's battled 3 open heart surgeries and a horrible neuro condition has a shirt that says "Real Heros have Rough Stories" ....you definitely deserve one of those shirts 😉
🙏👍👍Blessings on you & your daughter for fighting through very tough stuff 💕💕
Human babies make me weirdly nervous but even the bloody/gory parts of animal labor make my heart melt
Sandi it looks like the NANNY needs to make a quick appearance. Oh you just said Mark is going to bring it in. 😊
Give Social media a break, we understand, if not..sux to be us🤣😂. Take care of your Ewe's and lambs, kids and husband..most of all yourself❣️❣️ love you Sandi.
Sandy good throwing arm❤
Cammy had a pretty terrible start to lambing too. Youre doing your best for your ewes ❤
I love the the little black markings, that little black nose.
I’m calling that adorable little black eyed baby Mabelline ❤
That one lamb looks like a Valois Black-nose! So very cute.
Homemade biscoff hot cross buns
150ml warm water
1 tsp of sugar
2 level tsp of dry yeast
210g of plain flour (plus extra for working)
15g sugar
1.5 tsp of salt
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp biscoff
1 tsp cinnamon
Add water, 1 tsp sugar and yeast to a bowl and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
In a separate bowl add flour, sugar and salt. Mix together and make a well in the middle.
Pour in yeast mix, biscoff, oil and cinnamon. Mix together until just combined then pour out and knead for 10 minutes adding more flour as needed.
Pop to the side for 15 minutes.
Add 6 teaspoons of biscoff in to a sheet of baking paper and freeze for 15 minutes.
Cut dough into 6 parts and flatten. Add biscoff to centre and wrap dough around.
Place on a baking dish and let rise for 30 minutes.
Make crosses on the top using equal parts water and flour with a teaspoon of water. I used a sandwich bag to make crosses.
Bake for 10 minutes at 230c
