- Thought it was high time for a little Intro to me and my farm. Problem is, when you get your friend to ask the questions you get sidetracked. Like 42 minutes of side-tracking. I think I got it condensed the best I could. But seriously, we could do this all day.
Oh Sandi this is so precious. I lost the only video I had of my late son. I hope you watch this from time and find great comfort.
How proud Amy would have been, its September 2023 and you have 1.04 Million subscribers and are loved by people from all over the world. 💜
So good to see and hear Amy again. Hard to believe it's 3 years already since you lost her, to me you were always the "daffy duo" when you were together. If I miss her this much you must be heartbroken. God bless Amy, you are missed greatly
Oh no! I am new to the channel, just catching up on old posts. Were they long time friends? What happened? They are so cute together!
Regarding treatment of mastitis: Even late stage mastitis can be treated. But, systemic antibiotics will not go across the udder wall into the affected area, and externally applied balms only help the external skin. A mastitis infection is an infection in the mammary gland. So, there are inexpensive products sold at every feed store. One is an intermammary infusion called "Today", which is for milk cows that you want to continue milking, but can be used on goats and sheep. The alternate is called "Tomorrow" and will cause the mammary to stop producing milk. Every swollen udder feels hard. You have to milk her out then infuse the product, using 1/2 of the tube each 12 hours. I do 4 treatments. Of course, the lambs are removed and forced onto the bottle. If no improvement after 4 treatments, I have found the following to work: Crush 3 garlic CLOVES (not the whole head), mix with water and 1/4 cup applesauce. Put in a syringe and cause her to swallow it. Do this twice a day. On the second day, when you are emptying the udder prior to the next infusion of Tomorrow, you will smell garlic in the milk. Garlic has a natural antibiotic in it and will kill some strains of mastitis. It gets across the udder barrier. Worked for me with a tough goat case. On the other hand, you might not have time, thus finding it easier to put her down than heal it. No easy task to milk a wildish 250 lbs sheep. Big difference. No judgement. Just sharing
I didn't know Amy but from this video I can tell the 2 of you were GREAT friends!!! I'm sorry she was taken from you and her family way too soon. Love you Sandi!!! Fly high with the angels Amy!!! ❤🙏🏻
It is wonderful to have the video of you with your friend Amy. ❤️
Such good friends. Hang on to all the memories❤️🙏🏻
What an absolute Blessing that you have this documented 😪
Awww...Amy. So sorry for your loss. So sorry for her family.
I have not seen this vlog before.. I can see why you loved her so much. You two had great chemistry. RIP AMY
I agree. I’ve seen pictures of her and heard her fantastic laugh, but I’ve never seen them interact before watching this. What a beautiful soul!
Nice to see Amy & the friendship love they shared 😢
I see how Amy was awesome. Taken way too young from family and friends who still love and need her.
So sorry for the loss of your friend. My heart is with you.🌹
OMG I loved this. Love the personalities! 😍 So glad I came back to 2017 to watch this. 😂
RIP amy ,ye were so great together
My heart is with you, the memories you have though will last forever great day to reflect on when you need to see her face♥️
This was recommended by youtube tonight (2/14/22) just after you talked about her on your vlog yesterday. She was taken way too soon. Sending you and her family our condolences. I am so sorry - xoxo
Very interesting.....and entertaining LOL You're the only sheep farmer I follow on CZcams and Facebook. I've enjoyed your videos immensely!
Keith Brettell thanks Keith!! So nice to get some comments!!:))
Sad to hear about Dutchie. I do love your vlogs, and your channels. You teach me so much.
Have fun girls.
A favorite of mine. Amy is gorgeous.
Oh so that was the famous Dutchie! So glad I got to see her. So sorry you had to loose her like that. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🐑🐑🐑
You guys were so great together xx
OMG Sandi, I hope you create more videos like this. I learned sooooo much from this video!!
Btw, something you may or may not know ... vitamin D3 is made from sheep's wool. Not coincidentally, most people in the world are either very low in or are vitamin D deficient. Keeping in mind that veganism is growing exponentially worldwide and that the only other supplement source of vitamin D is fish oils which vegans don't eat, that makes sheep's wool a highly valuable commodity. Another great reason to love sheep!!
Wouldnt vegans not take vitamins made from sheeps wool either? :S
Actually about the fish oil thing, it will vary from one vegan to another because I’ve known some people who are vegan and do eat fish, while I also know a vegan that won’t even touch foods or vitamins that have any animal-by-productions, like animal fat and probably anything with sheep’s wool. This is due to that, for some reason, some vegans don’t consider fish as an animal. Also you can get vitamin D from being out in the sun. But still that’s interesting about the sheep’s wool used as another source of Vitamin D.
@@spottedtime the problem with getting vit. D from the sun is the timing only at a certain time of day and only for a certain amount time can you really get the vit. D to penetrate the skin.......... look it up.......... a channel i watch the kids have Alopecia Areata (sp) and she has it down to a second for the rays to help her kids
@@tammysarrazin7078 Vitamine D is not actually in sunlight! It's produced inside your skin from cholesterol with the help of UVB-rays from sunlight which provide the energy. Fair skin is many times more efficient in producing it than dark skin is. Probably the main reason why people from the Northern hemisphere have developed pale skin in the first place, because there is less sunlight.
Really? I never knew that! My body doesn’t like to produce vitamin D (neither does my son’s body or my dad’s body) even though we all love being in the sun. I get horrible body aches and could sleep all day long if I don’t take vitamin D supplements.
💔💔Im sorry, but im in shock, Sandi your humility and strength did not let on the pain u held in your heart, and unfortunately Amys 😭😭😭🧡💝💝💝💓
My aunt shared your channel on FB, she has sheep too! It's so interesting to learn about it all...
SarahBev that's so great!! Enjoy!

One pound raw wool = 1/2 pound washed wool. 1-2 lb yarn = sweater. I think ... so 1 sheep = 1-2 sweater?
Romy Schill thanks Romy!! I had no idea!
Memories
So funny to hear you talk with Amy! When you were with her, you kind of had a potty mouth!
😁❤❣
You do use hormones there is progestogen in your CIDRs to induce heat. But that's not a bad thing hormones are not a bad thing. Overuse of hormones are bad overuse of anything is bad.
You use a ram? lol I didn't even use the F bomb - F---k YEAH! lol
♥️😢
I love you both. Namaste, b*tches.
Lyndsey Smith love ya lady!
I'm so sorry Amy went to heaven at a young age I listen to letter you wrote her and then I went back to this one and I'm just so sorry I've never lost a good friend lost my mom my dad my grandparents and there was people that went to school with you know that passed but I wouldn't really friends with them I do have one lady I live in the elderly and disabled home I'm going blind and one lady come in and I just took to her if you know I called her mama and she was here like three months four minutes and then she went to the hospital she was real sick H never came back and I said I will never get close to anybody in here again but I have a tender heart and my next door neighbor Linda I'm very close to her I do things for I just go over and we just talk and talk and talk she has a beautiful cat and she has very bad heart hello I guess I can't help for want to help people I'm like my Dad from Dad was the same way he would take his shirt off from spot for somebody that need it and I would too and then hopefully I had a bra on Benny Hinn like I told you to tell her keep looking up now I'm telling you keep looking up God she is with God and she has no pain no what was wrong with there's nothing wrong with their now she is perfect just keep looking up I love you and I love watching your videos I love the Sheep I love and had them babies I really don't know what I'm trying to say I'm just sorry and it's sad that this is a part of everybody's life everybody has to die when you die young you don't feel like it's right my dad died when he was 57 and that was right it just one more light he had open heart surgery and he had his aortic valve replaced he could have had a pig's valve or mechanical worm and he picked the mechanical one every week is test your blood because you're on coumadin and he lived three miserable years he was always in the hospital with blood on the back which lines they had to put the tube inside of him I mean it's just I'm just sad and I know you're sad but when you pull it lay me out of the baby out of the mama when one door closes another one opens and that's all with God I love you keep looking up
You guys should had taken Belinda with you girls.
What happened to her? I'm new to your channel. I'm sure you probably tell somewhere in your videos I was going to wait until I came across it but now that I saw this I don't want to wait.
So many people never, ever find that wonderful friend like Amy so you loose a big part of yourself too & I have doubts we'll ever find it again. That friendship, that love is so hard to find once in our life time, but your so lucky in that you have so many who love you soooo much. They have & will get you through those extra hard day's/weeks. Except & open to them.
I don't know the answer either. I'm trying to binge and catch up. I've heard Sandi talk about Amy before but I don't know how she passed either...😢😭
Oxoxoxoxo
I can see why you miss her
what a bonnie woman
Is there a difference in the meat quality between haired sheep and wool sheep. Going to start next year and thinking about going with the haired sheep
I think there are some hair sheep that yield decent for meat... Not sure how they are to get to heavy weights. The ones I am familiar with are smaller framed, but I think the Dorpers carry some nice muscling in their back ends... Maybe some viewers who know better can comment??
I don't know much about sheep, but I know here in South Africa the "meat sheep" are mostly dorper and meatmaster. They are both haired sheep. I don't know if wool or hair has an effect on meat production.
I also suppose that in the area I live (kalahari=super hot) we prefer haired sheep because of the weather.
Here's a link if you're interested in reading more: southafrica.co.za/breeds-sheep-meat-south-africa.html
PS. I love love love your channel Sandi!!
Will sheep foster babies?
On occasion, if a sheep has recently lambed and you can cover the adoptee lamb with the fluids of the ewe's real lamb's amniotic sac so it encourages the momma ewe to think of the stranger lamb as her own. Sandi says you need a very willing lamb as well as a very maternal ewe to make it work.
@@christinesbetterknitting4533 i have now watched more of her videos and have seen her fostering little ones in those :)
🥺🥹😇
Aren’t CIDRs hormones?
yes but its not a bad thing
CIDRS contain reproductive or naturally occurring female reproductive hormones. I think people were asking more about synthetic growth hormones which are in a completely different category.
Its a plastic device inserted to stop the sheep from having a cycle and then when they come out, it makes it so they all cycle and go into heat at the same time. No hormones needed. Yes i know this is 4 years old but this is the correct answer for Cidrs
