- What a WINDSTORM!!
It took out our power for about 16 hours, thankfully most of those overnight... but come morning, I had 38 HUNGRY bottle lambs, and no working nanny.
I was stressed all night.
But like most things I dwell on for too long, the actual job wasn't as bad as I prepared myself for.
I still used the nanny for her reservoir, hoses and multiple drinking spots to get the lambs fed in under a half hour.
Thank goodness.
And the power came on, but not before two ewes decided to lamb.

Seeing how much Sandi loves and works for these sheep makes my heart warm. I don't understand how people say she's hurting them or that she can't take care of them, she is very obviously working her ass off for these babies ❤
Who says she can’t? Don’t make me go up there.
As with any venue, or difference of reality, there will always be haters out there all too eager to voice their unwanted opinions. Sandi is fantastic, and her professional life is devoted to these precious animals. The whole farm is devoted to the healthy raising of these precious animals. Mark & Sandi met in college both studying different aspects of animal husbandry. They both grew up in this field. I think that they know what is best for their business moreso than some ignorant children out there voicing their opinions of a video. These are unfortunately the future of the world and come from the parents who Molly coddled them during childhood. Not every team member gets a gold star just for participating. Not participating and expecting the world to revolve around them turns into the unemployed.
All this on 5-6hrs of sleep a night. These facebook warriors wouldn't make it til 10am on an easy day with Sandi 😂
You made it. God provides. Power back on! The orphans are strong.😊
Sandi is a gem . I know many farmers who just use animals to make money and never seem bothered about any sentiments
This is her business. Raising lambs. Some go to market, some for their wool. She cherishes the animals, but she has to be reasonable. She has compassion for them but has to draw a line. She and Mark own the farm, acres of land that need to be turned, water supply out in the fields need fixing, the machinery, it's a farmers life. It's not easy, and it's not easy when your child gets sick, and your dividing your time with one life and another! The biggest news that came to all of us who watch n support, is when Jessie's cancer was no more! Life. Goes on. Friends are important, taking a break, family, critters, big and small. Adversity comes to everyone of us in one water another, but we do not give up! Sandi does not give up or give in. This is truly a woman of great value!!!
I love how the babies take advantage of moms eating and turn it into a race track
They almost looked like waves breaking onto the beach, then receding. I love it!
The lamb races are one thing I get the biggest giggle from. You inevitably get one that is like, ‘Wait, why did you run back, we’ve still got space to run….’ It’s so funny.
Mama knew she had a 3rd lamb and stayed alive to deliver her. A wonderful mother till the end!!
What a shame the ewe died, she did such an amazing job producing 3 champs who have a will to live. RIP momma, your babies are in the best of hands
Three champs with a will to live! Until they get their thrxats cxt.
Meanwhile we have all the options not to eat their bodies and children.
Mama hung on long enough to see her babies 🥹
I don't know how you take such difficult things in stride and still come out with a smile!
My mama heart broke for you when you were talking about the ewe that died!
You were blessed with 3 beautiful, healthy lambs, and that alone makes me smile! ❤❤❤❤
At least she was able to last long enough to give birth to her healthy babies before passing away. I'm glad that her lambs are doing so well ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹!
❤❤❤
🗣️Super Nanny to the rescue….what an outstanding caretaker‼️
Kinsey sneaks in for a wee drink of milk 😅😂 we saw you kinsey! Poor Sandi ! What an awesome Shepardess you are. Your cabin is such a beautiful little getaway, how blessed you are to have this land, this knowledge and each other ❤
Oh Sandi, I'm so very very sorry! No power, losing an ewe and having to feed all of those babies! You do everything in your power to help them all! I hope things have changed for the better for you! Stay blessed! I love you so very very much! 🥰💖🤗❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sorry that you lost a mommy sheep 🐑 ❤❤❤❤❤❤ sending love and hopes things get better soon
I'm celebrating two years of being "sheepish with Sandi!" 🎉 thank you for seeing me through a knee replacement and so much more! My knee is doing great, and I'm grateful for this human flock! ❤
Had to pause and comment. I love how the sound of screaming lambs started to subside once bellies were being filled. ❤❤
Love all the colors on the lambs this birthing. NO POWER IS HORRIBLE!! Had a kitten in an incubator and power went out. Boobs do come in handy to keep lil ones warm 😂
Oh how many kittens and puppies and even chick's over the years my boobs came in handy for😂😂😂😂😂😂
Had one chick that was rejected quite violently by mama, and she only hatched out two others. Until I could get to the farm store when it opened to get her some sisters, she rode around in my sports bra, cheeping away happily. 🐣
Did the same thing with a pregnant guinea pig.
I have done the same thing with wild orphan baby birds, adults that were injured and chilled, cold lizards and turtles in trouble, and so on. Funny thing is, these days the most secure place to put my cell phone is inside the bra. Family refers to this is “Mom’s talking bra” when I’m listening to public radio while working in the garden 🤣🤣❤️🐑
I kept baby guinea pigs warm by putting them in my bra lol has the female guinea pig which i purchased at the petshop i found out she was pregnant and 2-3 days after the birth the sow went off her back legs i made the tough decision to put her to sleep as she didnt have a quality of life. I hand reared the 2 babies unfortunately the boy died 5 days after birth for no apparent reason he looked healthy he was eating etc and his sister passed at 14 days old i was devastated she had to be put to sleep as she couldnt breathe and i rushed her to the vets she was put in the oxygen cage and when i made the decision to put her down they brought her to me so i could cuddle her one last time and as soon as left the oxygen cage she was struggling to breathe 😢
I usually work on my needle point while watching videos,but when Sandy comes on, I drop everything to watch her and the sheep.
Can we have a video of lambs just running and kicking and playing together? 5
minutes, for a feel good video. Love what you do Sandi!
Yes please!!!!
sorry that you lost her, her eyes looked like she was in shock when I looked at the close up of her face
😢 😭 Poor Mama. I'm sorry she didn't make it. It's so incredibly sad. 😢 I hate to think about the pain she was in prior to help, but she is at peace now. 🕊 RIP 🙏
That sweet mama did her job. She carried those babies full term, and brought them all into the world before she passed. Situations like that always made me feel even more responsible for the orphans.
The newborn triplets losing their mama just 😢😢😢. Life on the farm is hard.
Even with no power the lambs keep coming and you do so well. Glad to see more of just Kinsey lately. She doesn't interrupt scenes by post fighting, eating w weird stuff on the floor, or upsetting some of the lambing ewes. I know you hear this a lot, your site has done so much for me.
Oh my word, 38 lambs and no power! That’s an unforgettable experience.
Good morning Sandi, we have no nanny so every bottle fed lamb on our place is strictly fed by us ( mostly me). Formula pre made every feeding. Bottles cleaned in dishwasher nipples sanitized in boiling water. I fill bottles (like human baby bottles) nipple cap and into 5 gallon pail of hot water.
Then to BFS ( bottle feeding shed). We have a rack system I get bottles in the racks, and let go those hungry babies. I have a few that I sit hand feed. The weaker, the littler and newborn.
The nanny saves hours of work and looks like the lambs thrive. I love the gamboling lambs. It is such a happy expression of life. ❤
What a great job you did while the power was out.
Sorry you lost that ewe.
Omg I just loooove how the little ones run back and forth when you feed the mums ❤❤❤
No power with your logistics is very much an issue😢Very nice job however caring for all lives that are very dependent upon you and your infrastructure
Nugget the tiny lamb is so small compared to the others! Even the really young lambs whose mother died are about twice his size. Bless him he’s such a fighter
Sandi, I'm sorry about mama ewe dying but as you said, she gave you 3 beautiful lambs.
I'm glad to see little Midget lamb is doing great, please continue to spoil him or her❤❤!!
It's always so sad when babies lose their mama, but we can at least be at peace knowing that they have the most amazing surrogate mommy's with you and Carissa. ❤❤
“That’s so kind of y’all.” It official, Sandi is an honorary Southerner!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are an amazing woman with no power, feeding babies, orphan lambs. I love watching all of this. You can do something I can't, get on the ground, and get back up. I can only wish I could.
Supposed to be problem not power
Oh honey, you need a generator for those just in case days.
Sorry to hear that one ewe did not make it. She tried. The no power thing, that sucks. It did come back on. That is a good thing. You take such good care of your flock. They know that too. Thank you for sharing your world. See you in the next one.
Wow. This is a perfect case of "when it rains it pours".. but, then there's Sandi just handling it like a champ & making all the rest of us feel inadequate. 😂 Sandi is legit the true MVP. 💪🏼❤
Sandi, you and Mark handled the challenge of no electricity like a couple of pros. So sorry you lost the mom, I was wondering if she hemorrhaged, so sad. The babies look great and they are nursing beautifully. Thanks for the update, glad everything is back to status quo.🐑❤️👍
So noisy! Hungry little ones. Quieting as bellies fill.
I'm sorry Sandi, those types of storms are brutal when they just knock everything out. Those babies were HUNGRY haha, as soon as you put the first serving in they immediately stopped and were quieter. The lambs this season are absolutely gorgeous, all the different colors and markings make them a unique bunch!
The ladies that haven’t given birth yet look very very round. At this point I’m hoping for just twins for you Sandi. You have so much going on. You’re a trooper.
Poor Mama. She made it to make sure all 3 of her babies lived. Great job Mama. I kept hearing the background noise and my brain took a few to realize itwas the wind on the barn. You are the best sheep farmer I've ever watched along with your friend in Scottland.
Love to see them scampering. Sorry about mama.
From one farmer to another;you got this.
So sorry for the loss of the mama. That storm was crazy! branches all over my backyard. glad that you have a back up plan for the babes when the power goes out. Glad to see you and Mark were able to get out to the cabin, it must be a great retreat from everyday life! and so close to home is even better!
The teeny-tiny lamb is SO Cute and Beautiful.
What a great job you did while the power was out
Sandi, I'm sorry to hear about the momma but I'm glad the triplets are doing well. Every video you upload shows just how much you care and love your sheep.
Awww im so sorry to hear the ewe past away 😢 but she has left a legacy with her 3 babies i would mark the babies with an O on the hip like you have started to mark foster babies with an F do and then you could add the number number the ewe would of being ❤
Quite the widowmaker you have by your cabin.
So sad for those 3 little orphans. That mama lived long enough to know that her babies were born and healthy. RIP little mama.
I love when you feed the mamas and then all the baby's say it is workout time!!! They just run and run and run. Thanks again for sharing your life with us. It gives me a glimpse into a simpler life that is rich with fulfillment.
Watching the lambs run back and forth is so much fun. Makes me smile everytime
Your channel is the only one I can have on TV without my dogs barking. We have 2 Labs, siblings, my female barks at every movie a dog is in
, commercial with dogs. Your channel is the only one she watches without barking! Amazing. She must love your sheep and pups. I love your channel as well. It's relaxing. There is something about you, your barn and your love for the sheep and your sheep love you right back. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. You go so beyond no matter what the problem is. You hit head on. Solve it. Those girls, love you so much . With every baa there is. Thank you Sandi for being you. Your whole family, thank you all for being you
So glad your orphaned triplets worked out the Nanny so quickly. Maybe because they weren't with Mum for too long, but whatever the reason, it's a great outcome.
I love how Sandi gets mobbed by the lambs when she goes into the pens and how much they love the new bedding! Was watching the storms go through your area and wondered how you were faring. ❤
Yayy Sandi!!!! The day is better ❤
Can we please talk about how cute it was around 26:00 when all the lambs started running up and down when the Mama's were eating??? So adorable 🥰
What an eventful weekend you had. Power out, gravity feeding babies, mom down/ delivering then passing. 😢 However, just as we all have come to know, you soldiered through and made it happen with a smile on your face.❤❤❤❤❤ When you explained how the babies were cuddled up to their deceased momma, I couldn’t help but cry. ( have to take the good with the bad) thankfully there is more good tho.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Love your content.
Wow! Just to add more drama to Lambing, no power and high winds. You are a Rockstar. Sorry about mama sheep but the triplets are tough
So sorry the power is out. But Sandi to the rescue. ❤️❤️
Bummer the lambs lost their mom, but so thankful you pulled them so at least they lived. I'm surprised that you haven't had a generator for the sheep barn. You must not lose power that often.
That little tiny lamb with the brown legs is beyond adorable!
Sending loads of love to all the Itty Bittys at Sandis Milk Bar! 💖💖💖
I'm so sorry about the mama, but so glad the babies got on the nanny! I love when Sandi gets in the pen and the babies surround her. Be still my heart ❤❤❤
Watching Sandi and also the sheep game. I will never complain about the cost of meat nor wool. It is amazing the love, dedication and hard work they give to their flocks.
Oh Sandi I just love how much love and care you put into these sheep!
That little tiny red lamb is still totally living rent free in my heart- oh gaaaaad I love him ! ❤❤❤❤
Dear Sandi: When my power goes out, I just know that this box thingy in my laundry room isn’t making the usual noise, and I know that I have to worry about my freezer. You, on the other hand, know everything there is to know about the power system on your entire farm, including all the outbuildings! Impressively, you even sound like you know how it works! You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge. Naturally, the older I get the more I forget, and I think that might be a fact of life. 😕🤓
So sad you lost Momma, but what beautiful babies she gave you.
Noodle is jumping around!
How sad for poor Mama. But the triplets doing so well on the nanny was so thrilling. I was rooting for them.
Itty Bittys bloom was so cute! Like a human baby, with the wee tummy 🥰
When we lose power, I find a headlamp helpful so I am hands free and I can wear it over my watch-cap when it gets cold.
That tiny little peanut is my favorite! So cute and so sweet it melts my heart!! ❤❤❤
Be still my heart. TRIPLE lamb zoomies!
Oh Sandi! My heart broke for you and those babies to see the momma go down so fast. I’m so sorry. You are such a good shepherdess. Thank you for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s reality even though it’s hard. Life isn’t a bed of roses and I thank you, Sandi from the bottom of my heart for sharing it all. You brighten my day always. Much love and respect.
Sorry you had a bad storm and no power. Glad everyone is ok. You always persevere. So sad about the Mama, but those beautiful lambs are in good hands. Sandi you are a gem!
Beautiful lambies!
Beautiful Sheperdess!
38!!! ❤😂 how do you do it Sandi 😢 this is gonna make me cry a bit today eh xxx
I was crying as well, I’ve gotten attached, I don’t know how she does it😢
I love to see all the moms lined up eating and the babies running around behind them playing!🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Sandi, you are my hero…there’s nothing you want do for your family, farm, and your sheep 🐑 So glad the power came back on! This year it seems like the weather needs some Meds, it’s been crazy 😂😂❤
What a dilemma!
Power outage , triplets of dying mom ewe, soooo many bottle lambs to feed …a lot to manage, yet you did!🎉🎉
You are Amazing!!!❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
I'm so sorry you lost the mum of the triplets. But they look like they're going to be little fighters and do well with little Peanut. ❤
It always amazes me how they find their mom.
The old farming adage of when you have live stock you have dead stock is so true and it hurts!! Lost one of our ewes to PregTox last week and sadly her lambs weren't viable, broke my heart to loose them all, but seeing your lambs and knowing we all have to cope with loosing them makes it easier to cope with. Thank you for showing us the hard work and dedication you put into your flocks. xxx
I love watching u videos Sandi watching them always makes my day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope you keep little tiny Pumpkin/Peanut as a ram lamb! A future stud muffin if you will. He’s fought so hard to live and is just the most beautiful lamb 🥹. We’re all going to be utterly in love with him by the end of this lambing ❤
He looks to be a fighter getting to the nanny.
So sorry for the loss of the ewe. Such a tragedy after she gave you three beautiful babies. Not having electricity in a normal time is had enough let alone during lambing. You are doing a wonderful job. Itty bitty is still so small compared to the others.
Well you had your hands full today. Luckily you LOVE those sheep.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet mama ewe. After growing her babies and keeping them safe and getting to see them take their breaths, she did an amazing job. It’s so sad and heartbreaking after all that hard work and love and she doesn’t get to see her little ones grow up. Sometimes it simply sucks. God bless her babies and run free over the rainbow bridge sweet mama. Endless yummy snacks and play time.
I love when the ewes are feeding the lambs running around behind them 🥰🥰🥰
Grew up on a small farm and now I live vicariously through Sandi’s big farm. I’m on happiness overload❤🐑
I could watch these little lambs all day! They are just so adorable.🐑
The official term for a pile of lambs is a cuddle puddle. It is important that people know that. Lol
Solar panels and some batteries for backup for the nanny at least?
I don't think that is possible for 220Volt systems.
@@marilynbridges8697220 is possible from a generator, depending on the type. 💙
I would of thought Mark would of been on that already
Sandi, I never want the vid to end! So sad about the mama who passed but she gave you 3 beautiful lambs.
I look forward to every experience you share with us. Thank you!!❤
💜💜💜
Sorry for the loss of your ewe, thankfully you were there to save her three beautiful little lambies! Seriously Sandi, you need a cape!!!
💜💜💜
So sad about mama. The speckled face lamb looks like oreos in mocha! What a cutie.
I feel so bad now about complaining the there is no power in the morning to make coffee. Your animals needed it so much more then I needed my darn coffee. Your so amazing about making the best of it and doing what you had to do for your babies
Wow! You WERE having some wind. Sounds like a train going through the barn. The spring of 2024 will be quite memorable for you with all the events around there. Sad to lose an animal you have nurtured. She gave her life for those sweet babies. Love the zoomies!
Sandi ! Thank you so much for sharing all of farm life with us all! I appreciate you and your family so much! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!
Yup, that ewe looked bad to me too (4 1/2 yes of 'expertise' gained from loyalty to Sandi!) I'm sorry. Silver lining is that the 3 lambs are alive! 💕💕
Hi again SANDI
Thank goodness for the Mama Machine! Lol
You've done a great job with this another lambing. Always challenges and some sad things too but over time you've grown and learned so much.
Hoping a nice spring and early summer will be perfect there for you all.
Thx as always for sharing another lambing full of those cutest lambies ever.
