HOW DO I DECIDE? (Evaluating Ewes to Prepare for Out of Season Breeding): Vlog 321

- čas přidán 12. 07. 2020
- Now that lambing is down to the final few, I need to get back to the rest of the flock management that's been piling up!
Today, I weighed some market lambs, Danny came to bale the rest of our second cut hay, and I spent the rest of the day preparing ewes for out of season breeding that will be happening over the next few weeks!

I don't usually read the comments but decided today to peruse them. I just don't know how you have ever managed to raise sheep without all the (well meaning I hope) suggestions and criticisms from viewers! 😂Sheesh. The more I know of people, the more I like my dog. You're doing a wonderful job and it's a good thing you have thick skin!
Isn't it amazing how these video farmers know so much more than Sandi does? I marvel she gets anything done without their help! Lol!😂
Can we get a ram video some time, please? I'd like to know how they're prepared for breeding, what feed they get, how often do they get sheared & hoof trimmed, how do you maintain their sexual health & potency, what are your culling & replacement decisions, general handling & maintenance, etc.?
Kenzie laying by Dukes resting place about broke my heart! Sweet pups. 🥺🥰
Yes mine too 😢
You, "Ms Shepherd" 😉, are an acrobat, a mechanic and a chef all in the first few minutes IN the barn!! You are mighty!😘
I was thinking the same thing! I don’t think there is anything you can’t do Sandi! I am so in awe of you. 🐑❤️
She is Sandi Hear her Bleet.... 🐑
Get on down with your baaaaaaad self. 😂🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️I'm done I promise.
Okay one more...
I'll end with this amazing link to the dictionary definition of baa that made me smile.

Good Morning 🌞 I continue to be flabbergasted at the amount of knowledge, education and skill y’all need to be able to manage your farm and your animals!
Yes farmers are “Jacks of all trades” and accrue a vast range of skills together with superior judgement skills over their working lives. They also have great confidence in their own ability to handle jobs/problems.
Sandi don't forget hoof trimming I thought this when you mentioned shearing
Hoof trimming is a laborious job mainly due to the work load on the hands using the secateurs. Squeezing and rolling the crate starts to be exhausting too. The work is tough on your back as well. The different breeds of sheep have differing hoof “nails”. Some are quite soft while other are very tough. Ram hooves are harder yet again. All hooves seem to grow faster because the sheep live on bedding so they walk only a little and do not keep their own feet trimmed walking around on differing surfaces outside.
Here in Texas farmers and ranchers were up in arms when they started using the round hay balers. They were worried about their animals not getting a square meal. 😂🤣 Dad jokes.
Lol!! I remember passing by hay fields with my mom and her exclaiming "Illegal hay bales!" 😂
I was on tour in Scotland and we passed a field with round hay bales, wrapped in plastic. The tour guide said as a joke “Look, cow sleeping bags!”
We all laughed but later at lunch someone asked the tour guide “How do the cows get into those sleeping bags?” And he was serious 😃😁
@@katherinekelly5380 That’s hilarious! 🤣
When our Collie/Keeshond, Buddy was put down, we brought him home to bury. Our other dog, a German Shepherd mix, Pandora, came out to sniff him before we buried him. She kind of looked around for him for a while after. Now, they are both in the backyard.
Seeing you do stuff by yourself makes me feel like I can do stuff...we all can do stuff!!!!!!! 😁😁😁
Thanks for the confidence shot Sandi. ❤️💪
Sandi the RealAgShow was absolutely great. It went so fast. Thank you for facilitating non-Canadians the opportunity to view this.
Oh, she definitely knows! When I put down my dog last summer, her lifelong best friend whimpered and stayed with us the entire time we buried her. He then laid on her plot most days after. Only time makes it lessen the blow of the loss.
❤😢
@@lorrainebryan7552OH yes they are aware of passing buddies. Duke has been a fixture all of Kinsey's life. It was a joy to watch her play-torment the old fella and have him growl at her. I was really surprised to discover Duke was 15! He had a good many innings for a large dog. But it's still a heart breaking way to lose him. 😢
7:34 right when you started this clip, I knew that was where Duke was buried at. Awhh, I think she knows that is where he's at. 🥰 you are AWESOME!💙🐝💙
I love the smell of fresh hay from cut to bale.
Especially alfalfa
@@topperhatschire too true
Thank you for always speaking about everything. My two girls have gained so much more respect for farmers and ranchers. They are city girls and keeps them in the know!!
Hey Sandi if you see this I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been watching for about a year and a half and I just broke my writing hand and all I have to do is watch CZcams 😂😂 I’ve been binge watching all your videos again and it’s really helping me with the boredom so thank youuuuuu ♥️♥️♥️
Great explanation, of udder checks. We walked our ewes this morning, checking for heat stress and do ear infections meds. Pulled 28 ewes all with nasty ears, quarantine time. They are in behind the barn pasture for medication 2 times a day. The vet will be out tomorrow to pull cultures and sensitive testing b/4 we do anything. Anyway have a great day.
Love you and the family , I can’t get enough of these lambing videos !!! 🥰
Just got the notification and my eyes lit up and I said out loud omg yes another amazing video
You and me both
Sandi most people won't understand that when you make an X it's a little knife in your heart. It's what has to happen in order to justify keeping the rest of the flock. We differ in how we kept sheep (indoor/outdoor) but you care about your sheep all I needed to know. You keep being you, young lady. Admire you and what you do
It's a business, two strikes on those ewes and they're mutton chops.
For all her delights, Sandi is a clever business-woman, and there is precious space for sentimentality in business.
Amazing video!
No worries with drone gone, the star is still here (Sandi🌷).
A wonderful video. Thank you!
H Lj
Don't know if you realize what a wonderful Ag instructor you are. Feel like I'm back in Ag Field Lab with a fabulous instructor.
Love being early for the sheepies ❤️🐑
I’m pretty convinced dogs can still smell the other even after they’re buried. We had two pups when I was in high school one died from a snake bite and the other used to sit just like that over where we buried her sister even tho she didn’t see where she was buried.
Not to be morbid but since a cadaver dog can find a body buried 15 feet underground. I'm certain that Kinsey knows were her friend is buried.
Hi Sandi, I love to see all the things you do, lambing is one of them, you explain things very well. Good luck to you and your hard working family.
I like how you explain what you are doing and then show us in fast speed.
Amazing team work & you are so organized. Bless you & your family
Good day! Your mechanical skills amaze me. Thank you for sharing today. Blessings on your day! 😍
Hey Sandi! Kansas first year beginning sheep farmer here! I lambed 60 Katahdin hair sheep this spring and will be lambing 120 next spring. You are a wealth of information for this newbie. You tell it how it is and I really appreciate that! A lot of people don’t talk about their troubles/ health issues with their sheep. So then I get to thinking oh it’s just me... glad to hear it isn’t . Seeing your videos actually is what encouraged me to get into sheep. Thanks for posting!
I have no doubt than Kenzie knows Duke is rested there. Our furry friends are so much more in tune than we are in our busy lives.
Love your work Sandi. 💜🇦🇺
Sandi the lambing results for the current group are great. You always need to compare like with like. We all know maidens ovulate fewer eggs which means fewer lams. If you got this lambing groups results 3/4/5 years ago you would have been thrilled.
It’s nice your ahead no more stress can’t wait to see boys sheared big wooly bears are going to feel good
You are one brave woman!! I could never put my head in the rafters on a ceiling!! You got nerves of steel.👍🏻🙂
How is your garden doing?
Thank you, Sandi. You're amazing.
Hi sandi I've been following you for a minute now and I've seen such a change in your sheep and their health over time. They have improved so much health wise I remember when it was issue after issue and now theres only one or two here and there. You're doing awesome
Loved the footage of you checking/sorting the ewes! I always enjoy seeing that process :)
Was on hoof trimmer Aaron LaVoy's channel and when he opened the barn doors it triggered hawk sounds.To keep the birds out.
Hmmmm... ? ??
" there's always one...boo " ...hilarious!
❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦☕️☕️
Sandi you are amazing! I have been watching you for about five months and I am totally addicted. I have a little lamb named Poppie and you have helped me out SO much. I love all your tips and I love watching your beautiful sheep. you are an amazing person and I have learned so much from you!
Phew! Busy week, hot week! Those hay bales are huge! So interesting seeing the different ways of hay. On a non sheep note, I do believe Kinsey knows. Sadly we had to put our first dog down this year and she has been laid to rest in our back yard. And our younger dog is very respectful of her spot. Hope the rest of the week goes well, stay hydrated! Oh yes and great job with your flock, excited for the shearing!💙🐏🍀
How do you not have more subscribers?! I really love your videos! You do an amazing job on the farm!
You do so much and still manage to keep us well entertained, I really enjoy watching your Vlogs. Thank you
You are a superhero without a cape...don't need that catching on something! Great job...TWO things if you read this...still waiting for a return email...and I hope to remind you[you asked for it] that you want to change the feeding cycle a few weeks before lambing so you can have day lambs...not nighttime ones...
Hugs from Halifax
Another amazing video, Sandi!! Thank you for taking the time to explain and try to show us, as you sort, especially with it so hot!!
As always, YOU ROCK!!!! 😍😍🐑🐑🐑🐏😍😍
Hey Brock family👋 How do u and Mark keep up with everything? There is a lot 2 farming I'm learning!! That's not including the house chores and business! 😆❤👋
Well this video was jam packed full with a whole lotta lotta!!! LOVED IT!!! Everything just flows so nicely on your videos!! Th information all ties together nicely and smooth transitions between each segment. I really enjoyed today's video.
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!
Fascinating work. I can understand why you love this so much! Blessings!
You are very good at explaining.....I love listening and watching your day. I miss my life on the farm.....some days. Other days, nope. Thank you
PS: you are lovely no matter what. Go gray - it’s beautiful. I know I know - when you are ready. I have a 10 year old and I’m 55, graying since I was 16. Finally went white and hair is finally going normal. We love you Sandi!
Love the video today. Which it helped me out by watching and resting from what had happened today.
Love you and your family never give up and keep doing what you are doing 😊👍
Fascinating operation.
So happy I caught your video early! Just finished Marks video from yesterday.
You, Sandi Brock, are truly AWESOME.
Thank you so much for posting.
Love your videos! They keep me entertained while at work. Lol. Working from home!
Awsome vlog today. Sounds like you are pretty much set. Glad you still have help. Take care.
Enjoy learning new things in the lamb barn,
I'm laughing at you helping the boys hit their target easier. Trim them up for summer, everybody is cooler!
So interesting. Thanks for sharing.
HAPPY MONDAY SANDI!!!🙏🙏💖💖
You are amazing, Sandi! I always feel like my day is complete when I've seen your newest video! :) P.S. Nice to see Mark back with the camera, too! LOL
I love the lambs. My favourite thing to watch is cleaning and tagging the lambs.
Love the lambing, it almost over .... then breeding & sheering will be great to see
Maybe time for a playmate for Kinzie. Looks like you'll need 16 replacements. The hooves look so long on those ewes. You are so talented, a real jack of all trades. Shepherd, electrician and farmer. And you are so in shape!! You must burn through the calories. (Jess too!) Need updates on that sickly triplet, did it make it? Luv ya😘
Wow you can do anything.I love these videos more Billy please
Im glad your safe after the belt work, cool tractor and that hay looks good. I think your dog does know he's there, sweet and sad. LOL the ewe that was backwards was one that was needing to be shipped lol. hope you get all you want done on your list this week so you can have a more easier couple of weeks. blessings.
YAY!!!! Vlogs 2 days in a row!!!!!
love you sandi....make hard jobs look easy!! wonder if you could add the "better together" logo in your shop for hats or shirts? I simply love that logo!
Awww, that special puppy 🥺😥🤍
Love your videos!
Hopefully you bought 2-3 belts since there was a Chance an Electrical Malfunction with this motor is causing the Issue. Something Electrical is Inadvertently kicking it back on which is causing the Belt to burn up because something is locking up. You will get it figured out.
Thanks Sandi.
Appreciate you 🤗 Have a blessed day! Oh and I got my Sheepishly Me t-shirt 🐑 So cute 🤍🐑🤍
Just a thought for the meat packages-maybe for Xmas. You could think about adding some to die for recipes in the box. For example braised lamb shanks, stuffed lamb roast.
Kinsey definitely knows.... RIP Duke
So very interesting!
You are really a super mum 🥰 even the best can have there bad days
I love your channel and videos!!
Hi, you have a few staff members in your collection Really admirable cartoon good job
Very well done
Dear sandi,B🧍♀️❤
I know others have said it as well, but don’t forget the hooves! 😊♡
It's interesting watching them ton bails fall out the back of the bailer . I have a big alfalfa feild behind my house so I get up close cutting drying and bailing . They also built a big hay she'd just across the dirt road behind my chicken house . First year for that. Southwest Colorado. Thank u for sharing ..
Is there a way to set up the Gallagher where you can set some type of alarm on the tag numbers on your list, so when it scans those specific ewes, it beeps or a note comes up saying it's been chosen for culling? Rather than having to look at the handwritten list and hope you spot it when it comes up?
oh! that would be a huge help and time saver! 🤔🤔wonder if she can set that...might require a class to learn how to do it(I'm so game to be a part of thst!)
It will be a quick message to the local Gallagher representative who services the area both in hardware and tech support. I am sorry I can’t remember her name.
Danke für deine Nachricht gelesen habe ich auch gefreut♥♥♥♥
I love these videos, just thinking you always talk about ewes and the low levels of success, but what about the males, could it be that they don’t do their job properly?
Nurse here. When you check the vaginas for lambs or help deliver a lamb, do not check their teets for milk with vaginal fluid on your hands. Remove your gloves or wash your hands first so you don't transfer bacteria from the ewe's vaginal to the teet. Keep up the good work!
that is a great suggestion. thats what she needs is helpful suggestions and support. Hi Sandi
Love your freckles :3
Bonjour Sandi, une très belle journée à vous tous, je vous embrasse de Bordeaux, France.
I was so excited to see this video, I love to watch you just jump right in and change belts, and do whatever you need to do. You rock! I was wondering if a ewe has mastitis and get shipped are they good at Market for the public?
There is a waiting period after medication has stopped. She mentioned having to check the dates before shipping. But other than that, they are okay for meat
Hi from Puerto Vallarta mexico🇲🇽 nice job
What an independent, strong and mighty woman you are!! Amazing! 😎 Boy do I feel like a major underachiever. 😜
We need rain really bad in Central NY too. It's getting really bad
Write the belt size on the pulley shield on the auger for future reference.
great video!
The dreaded red X !
Sandi climbs up the feed bin, then shoves herself further up. Look ma, it's a spider!🕷️ Ah, tis the season for feeling up the ewes 🎼🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 too. lol. I love the smell of fresh cut. Thanks Sandi. Blessings
You are unbelievable. Hod bless you
Hi Sandi, how's your garden going. Are you picking anything yet x
Teresa Brewer I was thinking about that just yesterday!!
@@pjtfd3849 11
when ANYTHING goes wrong blame the birds and their nests. God bless you and your family.
Handy and Good Looking - Red Green would be pleased! If you know who he is. Another excellent vid
Sandi.
Thank You very much for the great video's going along how you apply your standards for market sheep. I have forgotten what the root couces of mastitus is since my Four-H day's. It is a infection of the utter from lambing or bedding?? Lady you are awesome working with that aurger drive belt
I was wondering if you will be showing sheering day?
Id like to see how the males get done,
I know utube doesnt like it so if not thats ok too.
