- DECIDING WHO WILL BECOME A REPLACEMENT EWE LAMB.
In this video, I discuss what goes into my replacement ewe strategy. It's a question that comes up often, and this is how I do it on my farm...
Here is a list of the top things I look for...
1. genetics of mom and dad
2. average daily gain of lamb (not too big, not too small)
3. prolificacy
4. confirmation, frame of animal
5. performance of ewe's maternal traits
6. notes I wrote down at lambing session
7. any issues with mom? masititis? health concerns?
Guys...
Let me apologize for the video quality of this episode.
I barely slept last night trying to figure out how to save this video as its actually got some good info in it.
So this morning, I did lots of editing by adding B roll to the terrible focusing of my close-up portions. I guess my camera is now officially retired.

Don't ever worry about being repetitive, I find it all fascinating. Each day is new and making the decisions is a wonderful thing to share always.
If you repeat it often enough, maybe I will retain a little bit of your info.
Thank you for educating us .
Same, I like weighing day, I like to see the outcome of the process, that is ultimately where you see the results, the fruits of the labor so to speak
I totally agree. We are always a little different, and nothing is ever done exactly the same, even day to day. 🤗❤️
@@109367 I like it, too.
I'm not a farmer at all Sandi, and I think the info you give is fascinating, seriously. The breeds and traits, etc are interesting all on their own. Cool stuff. So us non-farmers are all in! ;) You and the fam stay safe!!
Don’t feel sheepish about the blurriness. I think most of us are just happy to have our daily dose of your farm. 🐑💙
Related: I only realized part way through that I wasn’t wearing glasses. What blurry focus? My baaaad.
Caroline Connelly LOL
I know the feeling...I can't see well without my glasses...LOL My husband is German,and he calls me a blind fish in a sweet way...It just means someone who does not see well..
chuckle! That's funny!
lol
@@racheallange2056 lol, too cute.
Hi, Sandi, cross the potato problem off your to-do list, if the frost kills off the green tops, they will come back.
"Our corn"
"Our canola"
"Our stones"
🤣 I did a super loud snort-laugh when I saw that!! Loved it! 🤣
"Our tractor payment" "Our seed payment" "Our fuel payment" Just a different prospective
I was just watching a video that had a toddler running around an aquarium, saying, “Hello fishies.”
My first instinct was, “Hello corn, hello canola ...”
Caroline Connelly Every morning Tony from Fast Ag Montana says “Morning Windmill”
I laughed when it said "our stones"
Man, those stones can be worth more than canola to an inner city garden center.
You are so great! Don't know if I could survive this quarantine without you🥰
Love from Pakistan...
Same here lol
So kind!! Thank you!!!
@@SandiBrock I have to agree with Owlriver OKIEA, you are certainly helping me survive quarantine!!! Please keep the amazing videos coming!! 💗💗💗💗

Everything has Risks but for Farmers, it’s Countless Risks with almost everything they do. Thank GOD for Farmers! 👏👏👏
That's for sure!
@@meteoman7958 and thank you Farmers for taking those risks!💞👏👏
THE ONLY "ILES DU FRANCE" I EVER HAD any experience with..., I GOT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE REPUTED PROFLIGACY, BUT BEFORE SHE EVEN REACHED BREEDING AGE, SHE MANAGED TO BREAK A LEG(3 PLACES) AND DECPITE CASTING TO GET HER BRED AND THROUGH PREGNANCY, DELIVERED *ONE LOVELY EWE LAMB* WHOM SHE PROMPTLY LAID UPON. SO SHE AND the TEXTLE SIRE MET AGAIN IN THE FREEZER.🙄 UNFORTUNATELY EWE LAMB, BEING DEAD UPON DISCOVERY, WAS NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYTHING. HAD WE BEEN *SMART* WE'D HAVE REMOVED HER IMMEDIATELY, GIVEN HER COLOSTRUM, AND EXTRA COW'S MILK FROM OUR *WONDER COW* DOLLY WHO WAS OFF THE CHARTS ON EVERYTHING FROM BUTTERFAT TO PROTEIN, TURNED *Everything* fed on her contributions into a super gainer and still had our outcrossfor our rideau ram!
@@meteoman7958 💗💗💞💞👏👏🦄🦄🇨🇦🇨🇦🍪😁👍👍👏👏
I am never bored watching your routine....and enjoy learning about sheep and lambs. And your field work. You are very informative
Dear Sandi,
Greetings from Nyc! I follow all your videos, I find all this so fascinating! Thank you for your instruction and knowledge in your field, it is very interesting stuff, you make our days worthwhile being indoors for over two months its so cold here, and seeing you farm and lambing gives us much joy. Please keep posting, doesn't matter to us if blurry or not. Thank YOU for letting us into your world you keep us company,
Yes but are your stones organic and freerange?
Ms. Brock:
Thank you. It's fair to say that we're greatly benefiting from the flock management insights you've acquired by trial and error over the last eight years. MSU ag school is fine, but seeing and hearing what you actually do "in the field" (pardon the pun) is also very important. Your children, interns and internet subscribers should all realize and appreciate they're are all getting a very valuable hands on education in the realities of running a 21st century intergrated grain farming and sheep farming operation. Please continue.
At sometime in the future, would you please address the mental health issues associated with the long hours, 24/7 commitment to livestock, the stresses of market fluctuations, debt and cashflow and finding a good (or at least a personally satisfied and workable) work and family life balance.
Respectfully,
WS
Omg yay ...sorry so excited for the video lol you are my covid get away ...I get to go to a sheep farm daily and that in itself is freaking amazing..so thank you for taking the time and thank you for spending hours doing editing just for us to be educated plus you’re so honest mad respect ..love you and the fam xoxo
Whenever you plant your sweet corn, try to stagger the plant dates a bit. Growing up, my dad would plant a huge sweet corn patch and if you don’t stagger when it gets planted, everything will all get ripe at the same time. That definitely happened sometimes and we’d end up with wayyy too much corn at once.
Right, with sweet corn, plant a new batch every 7 to 10 days to spread out the harvest unless you are planning to freeze or can alot of it all at once.
Your so amazing at posting so many videos and I absolutely love watching all your videos!! I know when you have bad days please remember people like me deeply appreciate all the hard work you do day in and day out!! So thank you to you and your family, Kensie, and of course Billy Jr (he just melts my heart) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh Ashley! this means the world to me!! thank you!!
Good morning Sandi, your who stays and who goes is somewhat like ours. The one difference is we are wool producers. Our flock is all Romney. Their fleeces have to be up to our standards, thick with luxurious feel. We breed for color also creamy white with faint hints of gold when clean and not covered in MUD¡¡¡ LOL The other color we breed for is black, deep rich black, no white spots or patches allowed. Our black sheep have faint hints of silver when held to a bright light. We sell our wool ourselves via internet. Our genetics runs back to original flock from 1999. The only changes we had made in new rams every 2 years. This is change year. The boys will be here as soon as lockdown is lifted.
My wife used to have a small flock of Romney and she preferred the black variant. She made me a scarf of saved wool from each year of one of them from it's second year until the Ewe was grey. So the scarf was various shades in a row from dark to grey. It was a great gift !
Where I Iive in winter months our black sheep wear jackets so their wool doesn't bleach from the snow and reflective sun light. Which at times can be chest high on us humans. The neighbors think we are "daffy" to put jackets on every black sheep in our flock but we sell most of our black wool before our white.
Hi, I’m getting back to spinning. How can I buy a fleece?
@@FeatheredLife shouldnt that be fleeced life ? 🙄😂😂
@@peterfitzpatrick7032 I own a bird so its Feathered Life. The sheep are my uncle's flock but I'm the one who did all the reading on raising good sheep.
Your hair looks great! Nice job, Jess.
Anyone else spot Billy’s sister ❤️. I watch you and keep wanting a sheep 😅
It’s sad though that she only kept all the painted males,but not the all black beautiful ewe. Such a waste to be turned into food.
@@Lastally01 It is sad but I try to think of all the black babies that the Billy boys may make! Sandi has a few black ewes already I believe. I feel it has more to do with the males because look how many black coloured lambs Sandi has in this last lamb group. 😊🐑
I'm not a farmer, I have worked on my uncles farm in Ontario Canada, I had a friend they had a sheep farm and one year I helped him show his sheep, which was fun the fairs are great. I enjoy you channel, the thing I get from you tube is watching people all over the world doing their thing, also I live in the UK now so it nice to watch fellow Canadians.😁
Hi Sandi. I am one of your silent viewers. Just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you do and for sharing it with us. I grew up helping on my Grandma’s dairy farm with other livestock ( sheep pigs horses and chickens). In a way this reminds me of those days I helped. Now that I have health issues your videos help me and keep my spirits up Thank you. I also live in Ontario (Lindsay the Kawartha Lakes). I would love to one day visit your farm but know it is highly unlikely. Keep your chin up( like we see you do in tough times) and thank you again. Jenny xo
The more I watch the more I’m learning. I’m not ever going to have a sheep farm but I just like watching. Your a good teacher.
I’ll never have a sheep farm either but I try to learn something of value every day . Sandi you make that easy. At my age of seventy five with terrible health, learning is one of the few things that I can still do. Still I have grands and great grands and it’s always good to be able to share a little knowledge with the next generation.
Honestly I come from a family of farmers I live in Kansas and we have raised beef pork chicken’s I even have a family member raising llamas right now but we have never bred sheep and I find your channel fascinating. I have just been put in a two week quarantine for COVID-19 and I got to be honest with you I have been working up to this point because I was considered an essential workers and I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have your videos/marks videos/podcast still watch right now so thank you
llamas are produced for......??? City Slicker
@@CurrentChoices animals.mom.me/why-do-people-raise-llamas-2521479.html
Hope everything turns out ok for you...THANK YOU for being that essential worker💕
They’re raising llamas for the wool
I love watching the weighing! It's so satisfying seeing all the over 105lb. lambs.
Me too!
Why ask Why.......105lbs industry requirement or timing for being on 'feed'??
Put hoses in bucket curled in bottom with coke poured in over top of highest hose. Never would of thought of it either.... I was thinking vinegar myself.... as cleaner....
Thank you for giving us something to anticipate, even when thing have gone slightly oblong shaped.
You kick buttock! 🐑💙
Too sweet! thank you Caroline!
Sandi Brock have still got popcorn
@@shepherdewan I believe I saw her a few videos ago. At least I hope so.
@@shepherdewan I believe Popcorn is in the one of the current breeding groups from which she pulled the CIDRS?
crystal raffone popcorn is a good girl
I'm excited to find out how you choose your ewe lambs! I find this all so interesting.
Hi Sandi. Love your videos! Helpful hint for soaking tubing in Coca Cola: Place several inches of Coca Cola in the bottom of a bucket. Place coiled tubing in bucket into Coke. May have to use syringe to fill tubing with Coke, but once filled it should stay submerged, then can leave to soak as long as you like!
This might sound nuts, but I’ve used Coca Cola to clean out the siphon tubing I use for vacuuming the gravel at the bottom of my very large, indoor goldfish tank. Even weirder, I have used Diet Coke and other diet carbonated drinks, to use as an odor killer for competitive dog shows. In my sports of Obedience and Rally, a dog that pees, poops, or barfs in the ring, automatically earns a Non Qualifying score (NQ). Unfortunately for the dogs that might be showing in that ring AFTER a ring fouling incident, that means an area of the ring now smells in a way that it interferes with the performances of other teams. I learned from other Judges, that I could use Diet Coke - or a diet drink with carbonation - that if I put the drink on the surface where the fouling occurs, and then clean it up (if indoors on mats - not so much if outdoors on grass or dirt), the bad smell disappears, and won’t interfere with the performances of other dogs. We tend to use the diet versions of drinks, because regular drinks with sugar will either leave the show ring matting sticky, or the sugar will attract fire ants ( definitely not good!).
I LOVE your videos! Your explanations for your replacement ewes were great!
Good luck with your potatoes. We've all got our fingers crossed that they thrive. And it's a really good thing you got those rocks out of your fields. If you leave them there they multiply. It's the craziest thing.
I love the repetition of the videos something like very few things are consistent in any of our lives but the sheep are so soothing with their consistent behavior 💕💕💕
Great video as always, can’t believe how fast those lambs have grown! Looking forward to seeing what billy and his brothers produce if you use them :)
Thanks Lauren!!
I have been watching your channel for about a year now and have a couple sheep but didn’t know much about them and I have learned so much about sheep just in this first year of watching your channel. At first I didn’t know what you were talking about when you would talk about them and now when you say” you probably don’t understand cause some of you guys aren’t farmers”. I get everything you are saying now and I’m not much of a farmer. Thank you for being so educational
I'm a 65 yr old female & love watching & learning. Sure wish that CZcams was a thing when I was in my 20's & 30's. Would have been living the farm life of some sort. It's obvious that you enjoy what you're doing. I went into nursing but really wish I would have been a farmer or vet. Love your channel & keep up your beautiful & educational attitude!
Jess even walks like you. She's definitely your "mini me"
I think a way to add value that is often overlooked that I appreciate coming on your videos is the reminder that life as a farmer is repetitive. It is the details of each day while you provide the consistent care that makes farming special. I don't mind a bit watching the same chores being done again and again, and I feel like I get to be a part of that life through your videos and can get attached to your animals because I feel like I am there every day. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us!!
Suggestion...for your potatoes, one thing we always have done is spread straw over them after planting, will help them tremendously, keeping moisture and protection from weather.
You can also take some wool and put in the holes whit the potatoes. That will keep them warm and there are some good stuff in the wool to feed the potatoes 👍 Love to follow you ❤️ from Denmark 🇩🇰
Who knew Jess was such a good rock picker? If the potatoes don’t grow, it’s sure that the rocks will year after year. Another great video- not a farmer here but I still love learning about the details of what you have to do to run your business. Thank for again getting up at 5:00 to edit these videos for us- it’s always much appreciated! ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🐑🐑🐑🐑☕️
Hi Sandi, I'm from the UK I was born in Scotland and was brought up around the black face sheep as we lived in country. I love watching all you do and admirer you for you hard work and the lambs are so cute. 😃😃😃 Big thank you..
"To market, to market to buy a fat hog..." Ummm. Wrong song. Love the sorting video. It's interesting to me how you decide who stays and who goes.
It's always nice to see Jess working with you.🤗😊😊
I hope your garden and crops do well. God bless.
I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you for all the hard work you do and for letting us see it all happen! ❤️
Few years back the boys broke dad's farm truck frame in half when they over loaded it with field rocks, lol.
I never get bored with your Post I enjoy them all.
I absolutely love your videos. All that you do, from the sheep and chores to helping Mark in the fields. Sometimes I watch yours first, but sometimes I save it until last...ya know save the best for last, kinda like dessert. Lol
Thank you, for all you do. And good wishes upon your garden. Mine is doing well. Southeast Texas.
Thank you for another vies of your daily life. Although you may feel like you're "Chewing your cud" by repeating what you've explained before, some viewers are new, but for me I'm learning more and more every time I hear you explain it. A little sinks in more each time, Thanks for that extra time you spend for us!! This is yet another great and enjoyable video.
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
Just a suggestion about your garden: If you have to walk by or near your garden to/from your sheep barn, try planting 2 or 3 yellow pear or red cherry tomato plants at the very edge of the garden near the walking path. That way when they are producing fruits and you go walking by, you can grab a couple tomatoes for an impromptu snack fresh off the vine (don't use any pesticides on your plants if ya do this!). I do this in my small town garden and when I'm mowing, that side of the garden/lawn gets mowed really well and I get to snack while mowing - just wipe the dust off and have at it!
I don't know if this is strange but thank you for omitting such a positive light and vibe into the world and your viewers. Your family is so lucky to have you and your daughter has the best role model for a strong female figure who is humble, Intelligent, hard working & beautiful. Thats one lucky hubby! The way you light up for him and speak of him shows your adoration and respect for him. Its really a special thing. Your commitment to your work, your family, your husband..... just blows me away. Its a privilege to take my "mommy time" away and be uplifted by you in your videos. Thank you for helping a sometimes insecure, normally overwhelmed mom get through the craziness going on in the world right now.
I love when you explain what & why you do what you do!😃
Hi, Sandi! I love watching your videos! Even though I don't do any farming, I have still learned so much, especially about sheep!
Thanks to you, I can't look at Coke the same way anymore. I didn't drink it regularly, but I had a can occasionally. After you demonstrated what it does in the tube, you mentioned that it likely does the same thing in one's body. This has made me conscious of the bad effects in a way that no health advice could have done. I can't promise I won't drink Coke ever again, but I have this visual aid in mind which gives me serious pause.
I really appreciate it, Sandi! Thank you! 🙏
Much love! 🤗🐑❤️🐑❤️🐑❤️
I love these explanations! The nitty-gritty details are fun to get into.
Excellent explanation of your decision making process. Your videos are always well done with outstanding camera angles. Thanks for sharing your time, sheep and life.
Great information! I enjoy the in-depth explanations of how you breed and make decisions for your flock. Thank you!
I hope you're having a good day sandi!
I never get bored watching everyday. I'm sure I speak for all your followers when I say how much we love your videos/vlogs, and there's not any video just like the last.
Awe, super job, well done Sandi. Great video !!! 😊👍
I may not understand all the tech stuff, but I love listening to the sheep.
No worries about the blurriness. Wonderful job editing and explaining everything. Thanks
I love your videos and look forward to them everyday! I noticed Billy's sister was in the shipping pen, I thought she was staying too? Also did anyone else see one that looks like billy in there too?
Girl you are doing an AWESOME job!Great video 💙🐝💙
Thank you for sharing! You guys are an inspiration!!
Another amazing video i can't get enough of watching them you do one hell of a job sandi these baby lambs are growing so fast its like 2mins since they where born how time flys roll on to the next lots of lambs fingers crossed we get to see mini baby billys can't wait god bless take care stay safe
I love your videos! I am learning a lot!!!! Repetitive is ok with me. In every video you show us something new about what you do every day!!!
I don't get bored with any of your videos !
I started watching you about a month and a half ago, I just want you to know that I really enjoy your vlogs. I have had horses and bred rabbits, so sheep is a new thing and I love how you share with us. I am never bored watching even the same thing every day. Its actually calming after a long day, I have 3 kids 10, 5 and 3 i work part time because my husbands days are 14hr and I am so happy I found your vlogs. What you share is so interesting, keep it up!
It’s really cool to watch your process and listen to you explain it. I have to say I have noticed how friendly your sheep are in general. Really excited for the breeds video. I have been interested in hearing about the breeds and what advantage and disadvantages each one has.
I love it! I actually enjoy watching you weigh the sheep. It's always so interesting to me. Your doing great!
Yayyyyyy! It's shepherding with Sandi time! This and a second cup of coffee is all I need at this moment! 😊
Hi Sandi Love your videos! They make my day!
Hey Sandi..maybe it is repetitive but i enjoy watching it! I really enjoy watching what you do. I like watching the sheep and when you do chores. It reminds me of how much work a farm really is! I grew up on a farm...I thought a great day was when I could sleep all the way to 6 am! And it didn't matter how hot or cold it was or how tired or sick you felt the cows had to be milked twice a day (by hand). A huge thank you to all the farmers out there!
Great video, Sandi! Lots of information! Nice to see you and Jess out workin' "our stone" crop! HAHAHA
It is not boring. I enjoy this channel.
Good afternoon Sandi! You are a smart business woman. Never second guess yourself! You are amazing and I love watching you. Love from Texas!
Your so informational and entertaining. Your personality is so loving and caring for the animals. I don't know how you do it. After raising them and watching them grow I would have trouble letting them go lol. You show so much strength in all aspects of what you do. Sending lots of love from Massachusetts ♡♡
Don’t worry about the content issues. Focus issues weren’t a distraction, your knowledge and frank discussion is what we come back to your channel for time and again. When you have a plan to release content every day, you have to go with what you get. I’m not sure if your editing tool allows it, but you could overdub your b-roll footage with the audio from out of focus content. More work editing though. An Aside... Jess, where was your Tik Tok moves when Sandi was shooting video in the market barn? Im sure Sandi would have been a bit upset but it would have been priceless.
I’m not a farmer but I’ve been really interested in all of this stuff. I’ve been watching you for over a year now. I’ve Learned so much now and am understanding more about all the genetics and breeds. I’ve found that now I understand what you’re talking about breed wise about what to keep and what not to.
What is your germination ratio for the stones?🤣😂💪
I think a lot of it depends on the winter weather and the frost/thaw cycle during the winter but I may be wrong.
Kenneth Morgan I know from first hand experience they don’t hibernate in the winter because you can pick the field clean in the fall and once the snow melts they are starring you in the face laughing at you. Some fields just GROW better stones. The freeze thaw cycle does play some part depending on soil conditions
@@gavinperry7237 Can glaciers be blamed???
@@gavinperry7237 my dad picked up stones every year that he gardened and was still finding stones each time the ground was plowed. He was a fanatic about picking them up so they were new ones each year .
Love your stuff! I had to sell out of my livestock, so living through you!
Wow is I’m early-ish! I love watching your videos so much!! They are really the light of my day during this whole quarantine, you make me feel like I’m walking around in all that open space too! ♥️ stay safe and we love you!!!
One of my least favorite jobs, picking stones. In my case, it is picking stones out of the riding arenas so our horses don't get stone bruises or land on one after a jump.
I am glad I don't have to make those decisions on lambs. I try not to get attached to the horses, but it still happens and they are only going to a good new home.
It is always lovely to see you and your daughter working together so well. Stay safe!
I’m waiting for my surgery to commence to begin.. and I’m taking comfort in sandi and billy and kinzie.. and of course. all the sheep girls … so grateful to be able to soothe my self with you all !!
Sandi it is amazing to me what all you can do alone!
love the explanation for keep vs ship...you breed for market not wool so when you finally do need replacement ewes you have your choice line/breed mix for breeding and the terminal which is market only. we did the same system with our beef cows!
This is always the hardest part for my brain to "make sense" of. You do a great job explaining your methods, my brain just never seems to grasp it! Then I think, well, as long as it makes sense to Sandi, all is well in the world.
You are so informative!! I've got a friend who just got out of beef cows and she wanted to find something new, I told her to watch some of your videos and she's in love!! You're doing absolutely amazing!! I vote breed video next!! I wanna know more about them and this video has me needing this info next!!
Always keep the best... Great job Sandi....
Thanks Riaan!
I really enjoy you and your videos. Thank you!
While I do not fully understand I am fascinated by your information. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Hello from New Brunswick! I absolutely love your videos and your whole setup! First time commenting but I've been watching your videos for a long time!
I live in northern Alberta and plant my potatoes after the long weekend in May and I plant them very deep about 5/6 inches. If the soil is warm enough they will grow and come out in 14/16 days and I start earpting potatoes from my garden by the end of July to the 15 th of August. Our season is very short but the first week of September our gardens are all done
I find all the info you give really interesting and I’m certainly not a farmer. Since I subscribed I’ve found it fascinating to follow along on your daily journey. Keep ‘em coming 🙂👍😄
So excited to see your videos pop up!
Yayy! Thanks Amy!
Hi, Sandi! Something that I would be really interested to see is when Rex comes to see if the ewes are bred or open -- both the process and the scanning itself.
Thank you! 🙏
Much love! 🤗❤️🩷💜
You did a wounderful job editing! I don't know what you were worried about 😊. I liked the dub over of you explaining while sorting and switch back. I bet you could pick stones all day long and get caught up in all of them and this one and that one... and wait another lol
Don't worry what others think...You have a working farm...and yes some of what you raise goes to the market....I do love critters ,but I do eat meat..and as a Viking reenactor I have slept on sheep skins...You treat your heard kindly and have respect for them...
I'm so happy for the everyday vlogs!! Makes work so much better, and I look forward to watching them! Thanks for everything!!! ,
#CorrectionalLife
Oh so sweet! Thank you Kaytlyn!
You make working at a prison so much better! You brighten my day!!
Always love your videos. You rock......
Hey sandi, Ive planted gardens all my life. It will not hurt potatoes they wont even pop out of the ground until its the right time for them. Also a good thing to do to help from rot is to cut them and place them on sand to seal up for 24hrs before planting out. Good luck!
I hope you're well, healthy, and healthy for all your efforts.
We had to build temporary green house caps over our raised beds then just put plastic sheeting over everything else..used short stakes and tomato cages to keep the plastic off the plants. Weighed down the edges with rocks and let her rip tater chip. Clear Plastic sheeting is my friend right now. You can take tomato cages and turn them upside down and spread the tines like an umbrella to use to keep the sheeting off the plants.
Hey Sandi, I’m not a sheep rancher, but I tuned in because I wanted to learn about sheep ranching. You are an excellent teacher, and I feel that I could do this work with what you’ve taught me. I appreciate that you read our comments, but please ignore any negative Nancy’s on here. They’re just jerks 😂 always be confident Sandi. You know what you’re doing. From a mom in Georgia, US.
You are too sweet. Love your honesty. Thank you for making lockdown easier. I feel like I’m at a farm.
Love the information.
I am not a farmer. Have never touched a sheep but I thoroughly enjoy all the sheep/farm talk
