- Pregnancy toxemia indeed has reared its ugly head this lambing... and now we have three ewes in our sick pen.
I induced them immediately, and it typically takes about 48 hours for labour to start.
Unfortunately for this mama who is getting weaker by the day, hers took much longer.
FINALLY, after 2 tries and 96 hours, we ended up with a set of quads.
But not without some complications.

If no one noticed, the one preg tox ewe who was constantly almost running over the bigger, sicker ewe was actually trying to protect her from Kinsey. At one point she warned Kinsey off. It seems she instinctively knew this ewe was the sickest and was protecting her family member. Sheep aren’t always as dumb as people think, especially when they’ve grown up several years together!
Can we take a second to acknowledge what an amazing dog Kensie is? While the two hooligans wrastle on the floor, she spends her day right by Sandi making sure shes there when Sandi needs her and when there's a lamb being tended to she's there being the sweetest pupper licking it and loving on it.
That’s what I was going to say!
“The two hooligans” 😂 Kens is the only working dog also so she’s on the clock. She’s an amazing employee for sure, though
She stole my heart years ago!
Hope everyone on Sandi's friendly community are having a great day where you can enjoy an incredibly cute and feisty lamb. Shout out to Sandi for being the consummate professional farmer who always gives 110% to her flock🎉
You're not wrong! Sandy rocks, I wish I had her energy!
@@shawnwales696 I agree with Sandi great followers. Lots of energy to Sandi and her flock.
Blessings and Thank yous Sandi from Dallas Tx Wednesday after Easter.
Well said!❤❤❤❤
👋 Enjoy your evening.
Every day with Sandi is brighter 🌞
It never gets old seeing Sandi saving ewes & lambs, thank you 😊
Another baby season with Sandy❤
It never gets old 🥰🐑
Strangly, it really doesn't! 🐑
❤❤❤
Sandi, this is where you shine. The love and effort that you put into ewes/lambs that are in trouble is beyond belief. You continue to amaze US.❤❤❤❤
Amen
❤❤
I just have to say that I am so incredibly proud of Sandi! I have been following her for the last 6 + years and she has blossomed so much. I love how she keeps a thermometer in her pocket and grabs those lambs up and puts them in the warming box so quickly. She doesn’t always succeed but she definitely tries everything she possibly can do to save these lambs. ❤❤❤
Tears sprang out of my eyes when that first lamb squawked. 🙏🙏prayers that mama makes complete recovery & that babies respond to Sandi's NICU! 💕💕
I’m so glad the lamb is still alive from that first ewe.
The mama ewe constantly turns to face Piper whenever he is in the barn. Always protecting her baby!
Piper under the blanket in the background in your office was the best. 👍🏻
I'm glad I wasn't the only one distracted by Piper's antics!😊
I didn't catch it, had to go back & watch! 😊
Snuggled up
I know😂 I kept giggling at his little nose popping out every now and then. Adorable. Then he finally went under his blanket 💕🥰💕🥰💕
Beagles love being under blankets! Mine always sleep down by my feet and know not to get between my wife and I when 🥄 ing😮
That first little lamb has the sweetest little face. I never knew how much I could love sheep ❤❤
I love how Kinsey works full spectrum, keep the sheep in line and tries to help keep the little one clean.
I wouldn't doubt that little one from the warming box thinks Kinsey is her momma with Kinsey doing all that licking like a mother lamb would do.
That itty-bitty lamb that was first born is so adorable! ❤❤❤❤
Is anyone else looking at what Piper is up to under the blanket on the sofa, that dog is so comical.
The angry sheep stomps whenever Piper gets too close always makes me laugh lol
I am ever so grateful that at least one of the lambs survived. 🎉 He's a handsome little fellow. ❤
Hey Sandi! Cammi I just bought 180 new ewes that are all either pregnant with twins or triplets! I'm so excited for him! I'm so excited that lambing has started! I hope all goes well!!! Sending lots of prayers! Stay blessed! I love you so very much! 🥰🤗😊❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
WoW, that's go8ng to be a LOT of babies. I wish you healthy babies and Moms
Wow, he's really going for it this year! Go Cammi go! ❤
As others are saying
WOW with ❤❤❤.
Don't forget that Orthodox Easter is later than the common Easter! You've got more time for a good sale day ❤
I’m in Heaven - just finished watching newborn goats @Blue Cactus Dairy Goats and then come over here for baby sheep! Life is good!
I'm so happy that you let us take part of your "farming life", thank you so much 🥰♥
I'm 52 years old, live in Sweden and I used to work with, sheeps, cows and pigs, also had horses my whole life. I had a tragic accident 7 years ago and also have a chronic pain desease so now I'm in a wheelchair.
I love that I can still "take part" of farm life and it makes me so happy. ( It some what keeps me "sane" 😅😅)
Hope you are having a great week and that lambing goes well Sandi. ♥🥰
Let the maternity ward building commence!!!! Lol❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
"That's not your mama" as the little one is talking to the pipe. LoL It's so crazy how quite it is like there's not much going on, but real soon things are about to change! Much ❤
Thank for going over the data on the preg toxic ewes. You teach us when you learn I find that so interesting.
Thank you sandi for taking the time to share your life. You feel like the friend i never met. Thank you for all the joy, life love and sorrow you share with such authenticity. Love from Calgary
🤣🤣🤣🤣@13:55 Kinsey trying to wiggle through a gap reminded me of the days when we had panty girdles. I guess nowadays it's Spanx. & here I always thought it'd be Piper that would get stuck trying to slip through one of the gaps! 🤣🤣💕💕
😂😂
I just Love how those two other ewes come up to the fence every day when you're helping the mamas to their feet, checking you out like "Whatcha Doin' Sandi?!" 🥰
2 weeks ago I had to assist a goat unable to deliver. She had been in labor for so long she had no energy to push. First was butt first, but survived. Next 2 their heads were backwards and I couldn't get them to face forward. Sadly they didn't make it. Sandy makes it look so easy to help with these deliveries, but it is extremely difficult. My first time dealing with a fully breeched birth and it was super tough.
That's why @ the end of lambing Sandi's hands & wrists are so sore (repetitive stress injury). Sandi's ability to visualize what her hands are feeling is amazing! 💕💕
@@elainerempel1613 I've pulled many kids who's legs weren't coming out with the head, but never before butt first. Pulling them out was extremely hard and the next day every muscle in my body ached. Figuring out what was going on was so hard.
Aww theyre not fighting Mom, theyre just playing!! They gotta have fun somehow out there while you talk to yourself lol 😂😂😂😂
Piper is pretending to be Lucy's personal trainer!🤣🤣💕💕
Of course I wish they all could have survived, but one is better than none. Sandi, you did all you could to help mom and babies. Thanks for sharing!🐑❤️👍
It's been really amazing to watch Piper this past year. Despite her occasional lapses in judgement, she really has become a companion dog for the flock. Kinsey loves bossing them around and Lucy loves the snacks they provide. But Piper really seems to be appreciated by the ewes and completely at home with them.
We had Leg of Lamb for Easter meal. Ashamed to say the quality and size this year was tiny. We need YOUR lambs in the US!
If you purchased your lamb from a store, chances are you had New Zealand or Australian lamb on your table. PLEASE seek out an American shepherd to buy your lamb from. Prices will be better and quality will be MUCH better.
Wtf I didn’t know she sells them for meat 😮
That is what market lambs means @@veronikpavlova
@@rubyklumpenhower9491 stupid me thought she sold wool and that’s it 🤣 well now I know
We have sheep in Alberta but it's hard to source & when we do find it, it's more expensive than New Zealand lamb. Go figger! But buying local is the way to go! 💕💕
Love how you work so hard for your mommas and lambs!
11:49 The mama who is poking at her friend who is down!!! “Get up! Stop moping!!”
Good morning Sandi, just wanted to let you know that your videos are amazing and I’m so happy that lamming has started and good luck and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule of lamming to make videos for us ❤
so happy that you had a wonderful trip, even happier when you all got back and then wow, what a surprise to see Tara and Liam at your farm! and now Lambing!! doesn't get any better than this!! thank you to all you farmers for all you hard work, and taking us along for the journey.
The induced preg tox lamb’s babies were huge! They had to taking a large amount of nutrients to sustain!
Down with a bad fibro flare… Sandi, your lambs and family make my sore joints and trigger points happy! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Sandy, the sheep midwife ❤. I can’t help but think of my years as an L&D nurse. I love her great distressed lamb protocol, its NRP for lambs 😍
High risk maternity ward! You take great care of these ladies! ❤
So sweet ❤ I had 5 healthy kittens yesterday. Love❤ birth
Congratulations. I got a new kitten for my sister and she's fit right in and the dog immediately became protective of her.
@@AylaGarton we socialize everyone. I have a HP F1 Savannah that ❤️ everyone. She’s about 2” shorter than my chocolate lab. She’s a big girl. We just got bottle goats 🐐 and once they were big enough we introduced. Never take my eye off her. Can’t tame natural instincts of an animal and that should ALWAYS be respected
@@marilyngardner2332 The dog grew up with cats and gets on well with the older girls but is like a dad to the kitten and she likes him better than the other cats, she's fearless and wasn't even afraid on the train home. She loves the kids and sleeps with them at night.
Your love of your sheep shows so much in your program. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy the other content you provide
never clicked on a video so fast! HAHA babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww! look @ Kinsey giving the newborn a thorough licking 💕💕So tiny & such a LOUD squawk! a feisty survivor! 💕💕
Ohh Sandi, your achy breaky back! hauling up on all those big mamas' hindquarters! Ya need a back-saving hydraulic lift like we use with obese patients! 💕💕
Kinzie take such good care.of the babies.
Sandi is such a compassionate sheep farmer. She cares so much for the welfare of the sheep and baby lambs. It's so enjoyable to see the new baby lambs that started the Spring Season being born.
I've been keeping up with the induction on Instagram. I feel so sorry for that sheep. She must be absolutely miserable! On the flip side, I went back and watched Billy and his mom during his birth. ❤❤❤❤
Just watched part of the Scotsman Cammy's vlog. He had a downed pregnant ewe. He gave her oral calcium & acknowledged that it would have been more effective given subcu. He also gave her oral dose of pink fluid I'm assuming is glycol. He called it "an energy drink" Fingers crossed for him & his ewes & pregnant wife Lizzie 🙏💕💕
In newborns, heart beat is totally dependant on breathing. Giving lambs with no heart beat a few breaths to see if heart beat will return seems reasonable.
>In newborns, heartbeat is totally dependent on breathing.
That makes no sense whatsoever. How do you explain the months-long period where the fetus has a beating heart but is not breathing because the fetus is completely submerged in amniotic fluid?
@bobbydazzler6990 usually the heart beat is compromised only after the umbilical cord connection is lost during or after birth. Only then does a baby need to breathe. Bag and mask breaths save most human babies that have no heartbeat at birth. Should work for other mamals too! It'll also help clear out amniotic filled lungs
@@nancienordwick4169 1. What do you mean "the heartbeat is compromised?"
2. The word you are thinking of is "breathe". it's a verb meaning to inthale or exhale air.
3. Why didn't you answer my question about fetuses having a heartbeat for months without talking a single breath !a noun, meaning a quantity of air)?
@bobbydazzler6990 thanks for the spelling catch. The heart merely needs oxygen to keep beating. Before birth, this is delivered via the placenta. The fetus, not being a separate entity from the ewe until after birth, only needs a separate oxygen delivery system after birth to stay alive.
@@nancienordwick4169 >The heart merely needs oxygen to keep beating.
"Merely oxygen"? No glucose? No electrolytes? The heart runs solely on oxygen?
As for your lack of correct spelling, I can't help it if you don't know how to use the correct English words to convey the idea you are attempting to share.
I’m glad you show us the good and sad of lambing! You try so hard to keep everyone going. I love watching and learning. 🐑💕
Sandi, watching you care for the pregtox mamas steals my heart every time. In your personal and professional life, you always have a heartful of compassion and loyalty. I wrote "loyalty" because you go the extra mile- no, 5 miles- to ensure that all your sheep have the outcomes no matter what part of the production cycle they are in. Thus, loyalty is from the true Sandi. That's why we all love and appreciate everything you do! ❤️
I think that adding a column to track the pregtox ewes on their own records is a fantastic idea. This data will test your gut theories per ewe and as a group, as well as how to manage them, over time. Excellent idea! Just imagine if you had the data in the past, it would guide you to specific interventions.
I am so glad that the pregtox ewe finally got the lambs delivered by you. It is sad to say, but I didn't think any would survive. So, now we have a lone lamb who will steal your heart! 🥰 Warning: when it happens, name him "wolf." 🤔 I'm not sure about his baby brother. Since you did the dextrose injections, and found the umbilical issue, I think it played a role, too. The lamb just couldn't overcome the mountain unfortunately. Regardless, the 2 cutie pies you have already are just so cute and adorable!
Nice job on the Bobcat clean up. Mark's trailer looks brand new, too. You said on your Instagram page that he was already getting all the equipment ready to go. That reminds me of the old addage, "A stitch in time, saves nine." Believe this or not, in the second or third grade, our teacher was writing these things on the chalkboard asking what it means. No one got this saying right! Never forgot it to this day. God I'm getting old 🥺
The market lambs were quite the fat ones! I'm not sure if you actually mentioned how old they were, but I was shocked. Was the 131lb lamb the heaviest ever based on the same time frame? It should be a record for sure if it's true!
As always, thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Your beauty, caring, loyalty, and wisdom makes you an amazing woman! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
It’s so sad when when some don’t make it, but when you save one - it it so awesome to see. I know you get down about it when everything doesn’t go perfectly- but your videos are such a joy to watch for me- I love love love when a new one comes out- can never get enough of those cute new baby lambs😍 and the heart and soul you put into taking care of them!
Thanks for all the hard work you put in for your sheep. This video was great because when you learn something we all do. Lambing is the best time❤❤❤❤❤
Yes! I was so looking forward to another Sheepishly Me 🤩
I hope the little guy stays strong 🙏🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
Just sitting down to cereal and strawberries and thinking how nice it would be to see Sandi and her lamb doodles. And there you were. Sorry for the lost ones, but joyous for the ones who made it. Lovely way to start the day. And now for coffee...
Well, it took a lot but at least they weren't extremely premature (none of them would have made it) and one managed to survive. And it's gorgeous!
Anyone else briefly think she was talking about Bobcat the animal.
I get so excited to see new videos! I absolutely love the lambing process! God is great! You are truly blessed Sandi! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate you all yoi do and explaining, it will never get old with me, I love to watch babies bouncing around.
When you started talking about a Bobcat leaving tomorrow I thought you meant the Animal control people were coming to get it and realize it into the wild. But as you talked more I realized your Bobcat was different than the one in my head. DUH! That little lamb is so cute and noisy!
The itty bitty little guy from the preg tox mama is so cute!
Love how Kinsie was cleaning the newborn lamb.
It's always worth it even if they don't make it
Sandi, thank you for bringing us along! Watching you take care of your flock is everything! 🐑 🐑 🐑
That baby is so cute 🥰 sorry that she lost 3 😢 poor mamma had a hard time this go around. Hopefully she’s back to herself in no time! Spring is starting on the farm 🎉 babies and blooms 💐🪻🌸❤️
We can see you LOVE all your sheep!! Your eyes light up every time you see a new baby!!!❤❤❤😅
You are amazing Sandi at what you do, non stop caring for your flock. Like others who watch, my eyes fill up watching these little creatures struggling to come into the world. Thank you for filming it to show us it’s all hard word, it’s not a “All natural” like so many people say. Every one is a little miracle.
Babies! Hurrah, best (and most busy!), time for Sandy!
Good morning from Texas. I’ve been a fan for years. Glad the little guy is doing ok.🙏🏼❤️
Yep, way to go Sandi! Farming is a 24/7 job. You can't just get up from your desk and go home. Leaving work at work. Even when you close the door to the barn, those critters follow you into your home. Thank you Sandi for your videos! Thank you for truth. Thank you for the wisdom. ♥️🙏👍😔
Teaching school children is like that too. My mom was a teacher for 24 years. The kids may go home but she always brought work home with her. Even now she has been retired for 9 years she wonders how they are doing.
Sandi's love for her Ewes and lambs always shows. I love watching Sandi's videos.❤❤❤❤. Everyone have a great week
I encourage all of the Brock Flock to watch the Fed by Farmers podcast where Cammy & Iona interview Mark & Sandi while they were in Scotland. There's some deep thinking going on about succession that adds even more dimension to the Brocks' story. 💕💕
The little lamb in the bottle pen looks a bit lonely. I’m sure that before too long he will have some friends to join him. Sorry about the one that didn’t make it.
Look at the face on that little lamb oh even at three days old look at that beautiful little face oh Sandy, how can you take it every day? Oh I know they’re a lot of work, but those beautiful little faces. Some of them is just too much for words, and then there are some that are just so lovable. How could you see to let them go, oh my goodness if I was ever in your shoes and head all those beautiful faces I would probably have a larger flock than I needed but then I have to realize they are a product for the market and I do have to make a living off them. Oh that’s so cute though. Oh my goodness.😂😂😂😂
That is the most precious little face! ❤
Piper…
the mighty sheep beagle!
I'd be curious to see the data on second-chance ewes. How many go on to be productive post-miss and how many go on to have problems? It'd be complicated, but you could see if it was worth keeping them or not. You already know how expensive it is to raise up a breeding ewe. Is keeping misses worth it to not have to do that as often, even if preg tox increases? That way at least when one goes down, you could tell yourself that you are still coming out ahead by saving on higher turnover even with the increased labour/headaches when 5% get preg tox. Or you might find it's not repeats at all, just age, which is a different answer. Or it's random and you can keep whoever you want!
Have you given up on Flockwatch? If I lived closer, I'd volunteer to do data entry for you. 💕💕
It never gives old watching you Save the baby's an the ewes I'm getting so excited Lambing season. is starting.😊😊
You'll get Orthodox Easter. We used to have some Greek Orthodox neighbours and every O. Easter they'd spitroast a whole lamb in their backyard. It smelled divine and, of course, there was always enough to share with friends and neighbours so we'd always get a huge portion.
Good evening from Denmark. Love watching Sandi and her sheep + lamb.
Awww, Sandy. I hope this is not a pre course as to how your lambing season is going to go. That fat momma just needs to get up and get to producing milk! 😅 wishing you the best of luck this lambing season.
Can you seperate the missed breeders, and feed them differently until following breeding? See if that makes any difference down the road? Or, sell missed breeders, no second chances? I love how you share what you learn, with us. ❤
If the preg tox ewe survives, Sandi will be shipping her. 💕💕
Great wake up call. 5.00am in New Zealand! 🇳🇿
Glad that mom finally had her babies and that was so funny seeing him walking around the room out of the bin.
Silly to ask was it worth it? Every life is important to Sandy and I for one. Join us.
Sandi's Newborn lamb NICU & 🐑 Nursery❣️ You always make me smile, especially during lambing❗ I'm sorry you lost a few but you're so right about Mother Nature💕 The newest 🍼 baby is absolutely adorable❣️🐏 🐑 Here's to a great Lambing 2024 🙏✌️🇺🇸
QUESTION: Where's the ketone monitor? Did you run out of strips for it? I like seeing that we've got solid data to back up your diagnoses 😊💕💕
Sandi answered my question. She uses the 'nose' diagnostic test. Ketones in the urine have characteristic "acetone" smell, like fermenting or rotten fruit 💕💕
@@elainerempel1613, very similar to diabetic humans.
The smell of a new lamb? Must be exquisite….like baby smell or puppy breath? Ahhhhh ❤❤❤❤
Sandi with the big heart and dedication to her ewes and babies. 😊
Sandi, it's not getting any easier with the early lambing. You did manage to get some ready for sale. It must be near the time for the normal lambing date.
Love from Mike. ❤
Sandi, thank you for being the greatest teacher about Lamb farming. I sit here during your lambing seasons, with baited breath and saying "ok grab your glove, this and that and oh man that was a tough pull."😂 I first started watching you 2 years ago when I was going through my breast cancer treatment and you were the best emotional therapy, thank you for that.❤ I look forward to all of your videos and can't wait to see what's happening on the farm during the week. Love your 30 minute or longer videos too.
Hi Sandie,that lovely little face at 1816 looks just like my Larry when I found him and rescued him from the horses that were trying to kick him to death. Made me tear up!😢 He's been gone a long time but i still love him. I love your videos, please never stop posting. ❤
When you said your bobcat I thought it was an alive cat until you said inside detailing. Lol lol lol
Let the maternity ward building commence!!!! Lol❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤️.
Sandi, the clarity of your videos always amazes me but this time everything is sooo clear it just pops off the screen almost like being there. New camera? New settings? Change in processing?
Either way it is a wonderful video.
So glad the new baby boy is doing well. Hope all turns out ok with the three predtox girl.. a cute little boy first. So sorry to see your loss of one baby. Mark made a nice trailor with that wood. ❤️🥰
Sandy you are truly amazing!! Watching how much time you spend in caring for all those steps, giving your all, and checking on them pretty much around the clock during lambing season. It makes me tired just watching you run and do for all the Sheri and lambs.
It’s so nice to get to be with you everyday in your chores and seeing the very hard work it takes.
The best way to wake up is seeing your smile face. Your survivor is so dang cute. Trailer looks great.good job. Look forward to the next one.
