- TODAY WE CIDR OUR FIRST GROUP OF EWES FOR OUT OF SEASON BREEDING!
I will show you the tools I use, how to use them and why I even try to breed ewes out of season when it would be easier to breed them in the fall.
Only first, we have a minor disruption over at the lamb barn.
Remind me I really need to invest in some new GATES! LOL.

This is why I love sharing your life. I learn a lot! At 71 yrs of age, I still love learning new things. You love your animals and take such good care of them. Bless you for that. If I had the money, I would gladly build you a bigger finishing barn across the road.
I agree I sp enjoy learning about things , and I am well up there in years.
Thanks Sandi, I like to watch “behind the scenes”.
If you can/want to vlog the shearing, I love to watch this. Huge fluffy brown ewes turn into small bright white ewes. It’s like magic.
Hello you do a tremendous job raising your sheep. About 60 years ago I bottle fed many lambs, l was 4 to 5 years old. During lambing season every day my grandfather would complain about 3 to 4 still born or frozen lambs when you ad that up it is far higher percentage. Do not lessen to any of the idiots, take care Michael
There's a local buffalo ranch where I'm located that we pass every time we visit my mother in law. I have my children convinced that whenever they don't see the buffaloes out when we pass, that they're getting their wings trimmed.
Ghost_Soul167 haha!!
Omg... kids are fun
Ghost_Soul167 LOL
I have a buffalo farm near me too. My sons to young to know, but when my nephew sees it he wants everyone to stop to see them. If he can't see them he asks where they are, and he's just told that they are inside today.
Eventually I want to stop and get some buffalo meat from the place.
OMG you made me crack up
Oh my goodness! Your sisters sounds and looks just like you!
They could be twins!
Thats what i was thinking
Ok so this isn’t meant to be mean at all but did your parents name you Karen as a child or did you have a longer name? I’ve never heard of someone actually named Karen 😂😂
@@boozibearfilms3379 Karen is actually a fairly common name... What would Karen be short for?
Allyson D I didn’t know until I googled but Karen has drifted into a slang term! Which wasn’t the case when my parents named my sister back in ‘59
Thank you for showing the full process. I have a new respect for our farmers.
Thank you Sandi for all your hard work. I always want your farm to be profitable.I'm sure there are some days that are less than desirable.But I thank you and your hubs for presenting us with your vlogs.You always go the extra mile for us.Stay blessed! Be safe! Rain in the next 24 hrs! 💦✔ 💯 🐑➡💖
Awww......@18:27 it looks like The Billy’s we’re coming over to say HI!!!!! Man I so wish you were able to see them behind you so we all could see how Billy Jr is doing!!! 🐑 🐑💗🐑🐑
This was really interesting! Thanks Sandi!
Also, totally thought your sister was you in the intro.
Ms. Brock: Really enjoyed the educational and professionnel vblog on the extent of the detailed planning, and work that goes into a sucessful agriculture meat production business. It's the behind the scene nitty gritty of payroll, debt load, market considerations and all the other day to day business decisions that goes into a flock management. Thank you for showing us a glimps of the business side of your operation today.
Respectfully

There is Never a Dull Moment when you’re working on a Farm with the Animals or Equipment. 👍
💯 LOL
Love this video Sandi!!! Love how you explained the numbers about the finishing barn capacity and how you maintain cash flow, it's all by working your numbers backwards down the the lamb per ewe. It's a lot of work running a farm, and an operation such as yours, has a lot of behind the scenes that we still don't know about, which are none of our business really. You show us so much of your life and it's impressive!!! Thanks for everything you do!!
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
Those men at the butcher who might have been thinking you were a little princess, lol. They would never think that if they ever saw you help pull a big lamb or see your work day. Another wonderful video, good luck with those rams! Go get ‘em boys. ❤️❤️👍👍🐑🐑
Breaking out, as I looked out my window I saw 3 baby goats out. I also have 7 baby ducks who break the rules also. As I said earlier, thanks for all the work so I can enjoy the lamb eye candy. Thanks Sandi. Your biggest Colorado fan. 🤩🤩
Poor Biilies. They spotted you and RIGHT as they came over you walked away from them! 😂
My heart broke at that part! They looked so excited!
Mom?
Yeah, I caught that too!
They were sohappy to see you. Poor boys🐑🐑
They were so so excited to see you.
Here I am, from the future, watching 2020 videos because I am all caught up with 2022s 😂 and I get to hear Sandi calling herself a princess for raising sheep.. dude have you seen your videos? 😅 I don’t mean this on a bad way, you are saying it in a bad way. You are one hell of a woman and handles a lot with these “little” creatures 😊 you are a princess only when jt comes to love them and care about them, but when it comes to handle them? No , you are a powerhouse of a woman! A Queen! Our Queen 👸😘
Loved “meeting” your sister!
One of the first things I do once I get to sit down after work at home is to see if you have uploaded a new video. You are a part of my to do list. ❤️
I bought some lamb from fellow youtuber Joanna Shimwell who has grass fed lamb. It was a little more expensive from their farm shop, but very tasty. We call ground lamb mince and I do several recipes for spaghetti and rice, and sometimes have it with potatoes. Nice video.
I'm very new to your channel, but admire your strength, attitude, and all around get it down process. I've watched goats and their process but never sheep. Sheep are clueless. I do love to see babies, & watch them getting sheared, but wasn't very interested in anything else until your channel. Very cool! I live in Indiana, USA, in an apartment with my daughter.
The mention of a break out took me back about 30 years when I was fresh out of college and managing my first horse barn. The home I was living in (on the owner's property) was about a half mile from the barn and gates to the many pastures.
Without fail, if we had a serious thunderstorm, ice(rare in North Carolina), or a hurricane there would be a break out. At 2am, cozy in my bed, I would hear the clip clop of hooves on the pavement. Anywhere from 15 to 25 equine escapees would be merrily trotting down the road. If I got lucky, i could get a spare halter and lead rope on one, hop on and round the rest up. If unlucky, I had to gather them on foot.
Soooo glad I no longer have to do that - many other poor young souls have had that forlorn duty since then!
Dang girl... You have to be an OB\GYM. too!!!!!
Thank you for the education that you give, wether for the grain or the ewe side of the farm. I am always thankful to know the work and knowledge that go into both. I appreciate you. Have a blessed and safe day 🤍🐑🤍
Completely grateful for the caretaking you provide 🤍 thank you
Very good to see the daily ins and outs 😏👊. You always do it justice.
We have buffalo around here, too. I love watching them interact with each other.
Sandi, it is such a JOY to visit with you as often as you post. I realize it’s not easy to put out multiple vlogs each week but truely can’t wait to see each new one! I am not a farmer in any sense of the word but simply treasure each visit with you!! Much love from your friend in Virginia, USA!! Would love to meet you in person some day!!
CID-R ing CID-R's are like sheep tampons for breeding. We personally don't use them. But I get the concept. We had our rams tested for fertility 2 days ago, results should be here by Friday. Mother Nature is being a tough lady this year, heat wise, darn little for rain. We are going to have a tough year, financially.
Sandi -
You and your videos, including this one, just ROCK!!!
Thank you!!!!
Wow, so much behind the scene. Absolutely love to see all of it.
The CIDR seems like tje equivalent of Lupron in humans. Lupron suppressed GSH and quiets ovaries down. It's used in women with endometriosis to keep them from having periods and slow the disease down. It's also used in a lot of IVF protocols to just kind of bring everything to a baseline so the doctors have total control over the ovulation with the second round of meds that stimulates the ovaries to make lots of eggs.
I have mostly dairy farms around me and some beef, but one time driving past a field there was the strangest animals in the field. They looked like a cross of beef with buffalo! I told my kids they must be "beefaloaf", grown specifically to make meatloaf!
Farming period is hard work. Not many like the hard work but I enjoyed it when I was younger
I am SO happy you have Karrisa! Give her an atta girl for me! When I see you working by yourself it makes my back, arms and legs hurt!! You are one strong woman and I admire you so much! I also wouldn't want to arm wrestle with you!😂
Love your videos Sandi. I'm always happy when a new one is uploaded.
I just so enjoy your farm life. I live in the city where it feels like everyone lives on top of everyone else & every where you look it’s all cement. I always look forward to watching your new videos. I like to keep up with Ruby, Popcorn & Billy. 😊
Another good video Sandi yal stay safe Daniel from central Mississippi
i love how the sheep have different "voices" some go BLAAAAAH and some go bleeuuhh
I totally enjoy all steps of planning as it is educational and informative.
Love watching what you do for work in a lamb business.
Also enjoy learning about farming with Mark.
Hi again SANDI
Labor intensive you are soo right! Bottom line I've always been amazed at how much work is involved especially would be to a person who knows nothing about them. As you described your plans sound good and solid if things go as planned. Always have to be flexible and have an extra plan of attack on hand though! Hope all goes as expected cause you're doing great...
Thx as always. So enjoy all that you share!
LOL, all I could think of when you said "Ram power" was Dodge big trucks. LOL
Love these videos where I learn so much! Thanks for another great video!! 😊💙
It's seems like everytime you go into the finishing barn something is wrong in there...lol I'm betting if you put a camera up in there we would be laughing at some of things them little ones are doing 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰
Another great video you could never get bored
You were my afternoon work break today. Thx.
Ruby and popcorn are not impressed. And i’ve started wearing big t shirts with overalls. It’s a delightful ensemble. Any & all behind the scenes footage is very appreciated!!
Hello sandi your videos are amazing keep it up 😊
Great video as always
Thanks for sharing as always, really interesting. 💜🐏🐑
Very interesting Sandi. Thank you and God Bless.
Keep up the good work. Your barn is so clean. Wish my house was that organized. Lol
Interesting to watch especially since I am doing CIDRs on my five cows tomorrow. Never did before.
Great video Sandi! We have bison farmers in AK too.
Love the lambs, excellent information.
I wanted you to turn around billy cane over to you when you were talking I kept saying turn around lol
Yeah. Billy wanted his cuddle... so sweet. 💙💚😎
ME TOO!!! BILLY!!! ITS BILLY!!! SAY HI TO BILLY!!!
Vous êtes tellement intéressante,chaque jours j’ai hâte de regarder vos vidéo ,vous expliquez tellement bien .J’ai 67 ans et vous me donnez le goût de me lancer .Je rigole bien sur pour partir un troupeaux.Merci de nous montrez la vie d agriculteur Ont comprend tellement de chose maintenant .Vous avez tout mon respect Madame .Francine Leclerc Drummondville Québec xxxx
I love your videos
Very interesting, I love learning this
You'll always be our Princess of lambs!👸🏻
I love your channel and videos!!
Buffalo meat is amazing‼
💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Wow. You and your sister have the same beautiful smile😀. You also sound so much alike! Awesome ladies😊❤️
Lol I saw the smile and was certain they were sisters
You are great. God bless you from Michigan
Sandi you are the best in world
So interesting!!
Sandi nice video like seeing how to cider the ewes and do agree you are a working farm and should show how things are done the reason for it.
I always love your videos! About the ones that got mixed up: would it help to give the ones going a quick dot of spray as your sorting?
Buffalo are BIG!!!!! We have a ranch in Denmark, that breeds them. They used to have their pasture next to the mainline railway going across Funen. It was great to b able to tell parents travelling with young children: after Odense, look right, you might see some REALLY big animals! Also: they taste GREAT!
Congratulations on showing what YOU want to show!
I just love the lambs with the black face don’t get me wrong but black face is so cute also love all black lambs love them all have s blessed day you are always so cheerful
Suffolk* it's what they are called. Pronounced 'suh-fik'
Sandi your sister looks and sounds a lot like you... Glad to see everything is going well for you.
18:25-30 the boys come over to say hi!! Was that billy?
I did a CIDR on my lowline angus cow... what a learning experience lol shot and cidr, then removal and shot. Then got an AI tech to come out and AI then give another shot. Phew!
It is still much cheaper than buying a bull and looking after it. Plus getting the option of using different sites.
Aww Billy wanted to say hello to you ! 🤗
Do any of the sheep have “besties” that they are always with ? Sleep together eat together etc....
We were involved in broad acre farming. Simply this means flocks were in the 100s.
First time lambs were in the yards was for weaning..
Second time for tagging, ear marking and injections.
Third time to separate ewe lambs and ram lambs and castration. Fourth time shearing.
Subsequently for drenching, crunching, shearing and so on.
At that time our tags had 3 digit numbers.
Over a number of years the ewe lambs with concurrent or extremely close numbers when through the race, were shorn, were treated etc.at the same time.
This was far more frequent that coincidence.
So in short lambs/ewes do have friends and will stick by them even if farmers may want to separate them. Somehow even if they end up in separate shearer’s catching pens they will end up being shorn together.
This can happen year after year. Yes, it is fascinating.
I loved the bird view of your pens (at the end of the video). I also noticed you got a little escaped convict in the feeder (bottom left corner of the bird view). Lol 😊 ... Little rascal.
When I put my hand on my forehead , when surprise's come up , the first words out of my mouth I say " Mama Lasagna " being Italian I learned that ! Bob , stay safe , great Video 👍
Lol
here's an idea to quicken the work flow with the cidrs...have a cup or glass about the depth of the cidr device. Fill it with the lube. Then once the device is loaded just stick that end into the cup/glass. As long as you don't leave the loaded device in the lube for very long there shouldn't be a concern of "melting" the cidr or altering it's concentration. That would reduce the time and effort in making sure the device is lubed up. Another idea for work flow if to have a work table on wheels to keep all the supplies you are using. Then you could move the table with all the stuff closer to where you are actually inserting at the time. The wheels would probably have to be larger than usual to be able to maneuver over the stuff on the floor of a barn. That would make it easier to move also. Perhaps you have already tried all these things.
I admire you 💖
Danke für deine Nachricht gelesen♡♡♡
Good luck on the lambs
How awesome a bison are great tasting meat just like lamb/ goat meat..... we no longer have buffalo they died out a long time ago! I prefer vision vs most cow meat! Really enjoy watching all this and learning more on breeding....
Hii.. Sandi I am your biggest fan
They’re clever 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Poor Billy! He looked so sad when you kept walking. “But....but...but.....you’re supposed to pet me!” Serious question, I just love Billy, Ruby and Popcorn. Popcorn missed the last breeding, will you keep her if she misses again? I would be so sad if she went to market. I know, they need to pay their way so to speak, but it’s Popcorn! Ya know?
Popcorn and Ruby are pets and she will keep them even if they miss twice. Other ewes aren't attached and they get shipped after two breeding and no pregnancy.
The two Billy's wanted a pat
Sandi I know you have fans but have you considered a couple of industrial floor fans to keep the air moving on you and the sheep. Maybe the rams too.
You and your sister look a lot a like. Both of you are pretty. 👍🏻🙂
Good morning!
Goodness you and your sister are so alike!
I wish you the happiness of your life.
Hi sandi!!!!
Auuummm..yeahh..finally,
Barbeque time..yummy..
Did you check the fertility on the newer Steele rams? Especially the one that lost his wool.
I was wondering the same thing
Seein3h the boys sherring is gonna be relaxing and 😌
It’s so nice to be treated like a little princess sometimes; even if you know you are very capable of taking care of it yourself. 😏
I want some of that fresh lamb sausage to lol 👍👌❤🙏
The CIDR is like an IUD. Very interesting.
I think it's in front of the uterus, not inside. But looks like an iud! I looked it up last time those came up on the channel.
IUDs are inserted into the uterus as a contraceptive device. CDRS are a hormone impregnated device designed to bring the ewe into oestrous so that she will ovulate and get pregnant.
And don't forget the hoof trimming!
#9 best place of all !!
Hi Sandi. Contact Rebecca Rhodes from the Justin Rhodes channel. She wears coveralls that are made of hemp that breathe. She loves them and recommends them to other farmers.
In this heat no long -legged coverall is going to be "cool". I think Sandi already wears the same type.
Sandi/Jess also wear the short length version.
Do you give them prenatal vitamins? I love watching your videos. I love how you give us so much information. I have learned so much from you. I could listen to you all day long. But that would wear you out even more so we're not going to ask that of you. Thank you for being open to suggestions and posting so much stuff for us to watch. I love love love it
The ewes are fed a freshening ration containing vitamins and minerals to help this process.
