- Its like Christmas Day all over again today!! I finally got my NEW RAMS!
My goal for 2020 is to refresh my F1 replacements with some fresh composite genetics, and to do that, I went back to the farm I bought my ewes from.
I also took some time to analyze the final results from this last lambing group... let me say, I was pleasantly surprised!
Always room to improve, but good to know I saw some here.
#rams #sheep #lambing
THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!!

Dear Sandi,
I absolutely love your videos! As an aspiring vet I appreciate how much you try to make your videos as realistic as possible, not sparing your viewers from the harsh realities of farming life. Thank you for providing such lovely educational and inspiring videos! You are amazing and your dedication to your flock is incredible!
Good luck to you and I wish you success as a veterinarian!
Lillian McElwee I know Sandi is very busy and can’t possibly answer all comments, but if she could pick and choose, yours would be on the top of her list.
The lamb in the feed trough is like "You know I'm cute! Put me on camera!"
I kept waiting for Sandi to say something, I saw that lamb in the trough earlier in the video, although I'm sure that's just because of editing.
So precious
Having words with your spouse and then apologizing is better than not talking at all and being mad. ☺️
Joe Orsborn ...no truer words were said..My narcissistic husband uses the silent treatment whenever he feels like it...Drives me crazy but unfortunately he knows it hurts...
Mark probably knows in one ear out the other but registers the important things but still loves you in the end. Farming is tough and frustrating at times but it’s the life you love. You are good at what you’re doing! Keep your chin high!
next time you take a group to the sale barn, you should bring us along as well! or maybe arrange a day with the barn for a walkthrough? i'd love to know how that works. also, how the genetics of breeding and stuff like that works!
Sandi my dad had to give up his beloved little flock of sheep when he was 80 because of coyotes the last couple of years his breeding ram was an Oxford he proved to be the best ever for meat lambs. Dad's sheep only ate hay in winter supplemented with a little grain feed at lambing time. And grass during summer. I know he had lambs born almost 20lbs. He knew the basics and would change out his rams he was so gentle with his sheep like you. Thanks for the beautiful memories.
1:08 All of us Michiganders second you on hating the winter. That blowing wind in your face at 5:15AM is hell. Snow in your boots. Think happy thoughts. That crappy winter makes you appreciate spring so much more (the good spring not the rainy/melty spring). That first sunny 65 degree day is like heaven.
Every time I see that Grover milk machine for the bottle babies, it just makes me think how much easier that would've made taking care of calves on the farm growing up. Love seeing the lambs run around, makes my heart swell ❤
Lmaooo the last lamb just chillin in the feeder
They are so cute when they hop around!
Same jumping round is so cute
When you start your day out with dog poop before coffee, it's nothing but up hill. Your final numbers for this lambing group are awesome! Feel good!
Omg! I can totally relate about the situation with Mark, and your emotional exhaustion. When its frustrating that things seem so easy for them, when you've spent so much time trying yourself- even stupid things like opening a jar of jam! But yeah you vent, and you get overly sensitive, and it's easy to dump it on them.
The good thing about men is that once it's over, they move on. They don't stew like we do. We analyse and have self criticism, reviewing and reliving the situation. What's funny is that I think the reason men have difficulty apologizing, is because it rarely gets to that point, we seem to reach out to them because it's almost physically painful to leave it alone, to stew on it, and to wonder about the situation.
It's great that Mark is understanding, but its wonderful that you realized so quickly that he was helping and not criticizing, even though that's how it may have felt at the time.
My husband jokes that guys let things go because women are crazy. I have agreed.... why else would we put up with them.
I feel humbled that you were transparent and shared what happened with us. You could have easily edited that out. But that's not you. You are real, and I appreciate that you trusted to share your vulnerability
It amazing how fast the lambs grow.
Yesterday's vlog really made me realize what you do for me (one of your viewers). This past year my fiance, my son, and I have been moving like crazy and I think part of the reason is when he is gone and I'm dealing with a crazy 2 year old, it drives me crazy.. It really bothered me how all of these other moms or house wives can just stay at home and take care of things at home. I was more worried about leaving the house and I couldnt because my fiance would have the car with him at work. That drove me insane and really made my moral plummet. Watching you everyday has made me have a new respect about being home and you really help me get over the mental hump that has stumped me for over a year and get over my anxiety amd the newness of being a stay at home mom. Thank you so very much.
Olivia Anderson.. hugs my dear. Moms are the strongest creatures on earth. You are worthy. Be well. 🤗
@@loisblais3431 You have no idea how much I appreciate that ❤😊
After so many years with a partner they realize your upset with the situation not them. Apologies can be fun too.
I love the bouncy babies. So cute.
Sounds like great numbers considering the week before lambing you lost the roof of your barn. You were worried then it would cause problems with the lambing, so it's not just good but GREAT.
I'm so impressed with you, I love seeing a hardworking kind person doing what they love. Winters are tuff, I live in New England.
Hi sussan
I hope she reaches 1 million subscribers she deserves it
She’s getting close, 941,000 as of March 26, 2023!
That little face at the end 😍 you have inspired my kids to want to become a sheep farmer. We watch you daily.. thank you for always bringing a smile to the 5 of us!
ALuufamily hey. I make similar videos to Sandis and I’m stuck on what videos I should make next. Any recommendations?
When You are focusing on Sandi and her Information and See a Random Baby 🐑 in the background looking at you 😍 (Sorry Sandi ...What were you saying about the #s?)😂
I felt your "We're tired and underpaid" as a future Agriculture High School Teacher 😂
I give y'all MAD RESPECT!! I lived once on my family's ranch and it was crazy. 💙🐝💙
Me and my coworker as aftercare teachers 😭
I totally can relate,I can work on something for an hour then my hubby comes out and blows on it and it works.
I love the jumpers! As they get older and heavier, they loose some of the wiggle, but still so cute!
255 lambs are bouncing around for sure! I love the to watch them all bounce!!
I am looking forward to seeing your lambs from the next cross. When I bred horses that was what I bred for great genetics. Bettering the breed through genetics. Improve what you look for in the breed. The best I can tell you look for temperament, (great moms)conformation, great Teets ,big udders when it comes to your sheep. Thank you for sharing your life I am learning so much
26 still borns is something you cannot do anything but 8 deaths after coming is amazing. 8 out of 297 ( 289+8) is very big success. Good job Sandi.
mustafa tekdemir I think her total was 289, then stillborns and deaths are subtracted from that number. Think she ended with 255 live lambs. Still, great numbers.
@@JudyHart1 her average was 2.2 per ewe, that os why l got that number
6:14 that sheep in the (feed lane)fast lane a ticket for being so cute lol
I love that there's always one sneaky lamb in the trough 😁🐑
Good numbers, Congrats. It has been great to journey through lambing with you. Thanks.
I would have loved to see some new black and white Rams. Those are my favorite🐏
You mean Suffolks?
Rae Rohan
I think they mean the crosses, the one more blotchy crosses between Suffolk and the whiter breeds. I believe, I could be wrong though.
They ARE super cute though. :3 I love black sheep more than white sheep, I’ll say it.
I could watch baby lambs playing all day long
I love the little lamb at the end, in the trough. He looked so proud of himself -he was trying to get you to notice him.🐑
Hi from Red Deer AB. Suggestion for bonding ewe and bottle fed lambs. Grandparents, then uncle who bought family farm and who were accomplished sheep herders , would take the dead lamb from the ewe, skin it without head and tail, and put it on a bottle fed lamb so ewe would accept it. Worked every time for them. Don't know if others still do this.
You are amazing on so many levels. Blessings in this year ahead.
Sheryl Krill ...she seemed to have a great deal of success just painting the orphan lamb with the afterbirth of the adopted Mum...
I love the babies in the feed troughs. Too funny.
You're successful as a great farmer. Marriage is a work in progress.
Idea. Keep a spray bottle in the house for part rubbing alcohol and water to spray on locks, car windows and door jams. Works wonderfully. Nice looking rams, the ewes seemed very interested Good numbers still would love a video of bouncing babies 😎
Towanda Thedriver ...diluting rubbing alcohol with water and you have a glass cleaner...If you want an ice bag to stop any swelling...Mix rubbing alcohol with crushed ice in the right proportions and it will never refreeze as an ice block but will remain slushy...Good for sprains...
Thanks for todays vlog!!!! Congrats on the new boys and may they do their job well.
You need some much needed rest. I can hear it in your voice and it’s in your expression, just pure exhaustion. Love the little lambs, especially the black ones.
I very much agree.
I see you have 104 thousand subscribers now! TH-cam has no idea what the people want to see! Keep up the good work!
Those are some seriously awesome numbers Sandi!! 😃👍 Congrats ❤️
Girl! Sometimes both of you just need to stop and 🤗hug ! Reset both your mind set and breath! Your videos are fantastic! Real lambing life have real people , with real emotions! You Lamb lounge is 😎 awesome. Making up over eegmcmuffin ... did that often. As a military wife for 35 years.... post in Winter.... Winnipeg, Moose Jaw winter at minus -35C moving with Four kids! It’s happen to us! Wellllllll all of us girl get frustrated because this is call life! 😂😂😂just not at 5:00 am! You are real trooper in my book. And making up over breakfast was our thing too! We being celebrating 36 wedding anniversary .... 🇨🇦 Mansfield, Quebec!
Genetics is my jam. Taking one thing (in my case, chickens) and turning it through generations into another thing, is so so fun to do. Takes 7 generations to get 99.% pure (you can never get to 100% but 99% is close enough to be considered pure), in chickens it's easy and swift, in sheep it's going to be the next decade-ish to get to that point but you'll see every single generation the changes. Awesome Sandi, this group did awesome.
255 happy healthy lambs id say your doing things right..cant wait till you cycle the new rams and see what you come up with
Hi again SANDI!
When all is said and done you ended with really good numbers!!
When you were going through the day to day and had some tough times I'm sure it seemed worse then. But you should be happy and proud of what you accomplished and learned! Handsome new boys and your plans for the year sound great. It will be then again interesting and amazing how it will all come together. Do try to get some good rest now and take care of YOU so you're ready and excited for the next chapter. Thx as always for sharing. Sending a hug from afar...
100% relate, hubby and I do the same. But at the end of the day, you have each other.
You are an amazing person. You have helped me with my mental health and anxiety. I've been helping my uncle on his farm. Just doing stuff like feeding chickens, and shoveling 💩! However being around those animals and helping really calms me and I get paid! Thank u for being so transparent & honest! You are awesome! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
#sheepishlyEwe haha I made a funny! I'm a nerd haha. Be blessed!
YES YES YES! I can so relate but like you
I love him to pieces!.
Same here .lol .. but after 30 years we know when the other is grumpy lol .
One guy told me he likes to make the wife mad he looks forward to the kissing and making up😇
@@lawrencekieffer6770 That guy has more guts than sense. ;)
@@sidewinder666666 the trick is to not get her to mad and keep the guns locked up
I'm a city girl in California and know zilch about raising livestock but I wish I could help you with barn chores!! You are awesome. Thanks for allowing us in. 🐑
Hey Lady, every time I have a question and start tying you answer. ;-) I have been watching for maybe a month and know nothing about being a farmer. That being said I am very much enjoying what you do.
Great numbers, Sandi!
I can't believe how big those lambs are already!
these videos are so dope. it really shows that this aint a walk in the park! plus its super informative
Those are some really impressive survival rates, I am glad.
I love your husbands accent. You don't seem to have much of an accent. It's take a strong women to realize that she needs to apologize to her husband when she needs too. A lot of husband and wife teams don't do that and they just let things fester till it all blows up. Kudos to you and your husband.
Oh, Sandi, I'm listening to the summery of the morning and I'm laughing. Not at you, but in sympathy of having been in your boots so many times. Only kindred spirits can fully understand. Great job, you hard working girl!
BarbedStar Hey. I make videos with my farm animals and I’m stuck on what I should make next 😂 Any recommendations?
Haha, little lambs dancing is cute.
The whole husband looking at something and it being fixed 🙋🏼♀️
All of the babies are adorable especially the black and white ones. I would spend all day in there playing with all of the babies!!!
Congratulations on everything. Especially the new Breeding Rams.
I'm so happy you are posting more often I have been really enjoying the vlogs lately!
Anyone else saw the lamb in the feeder at 6:15? I was like "Sandi !!! Look down!! " 😂
I think she saw him, her voice kinda paused and she gestures down at him.
I thinking it's that old kid trick i bet you can't catch me!!!!
You are no different than any other couple. Been married for 40 years. Best years of my life. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Canada weather is so annoying yesterday it was snowing and there was a lot of snow on the ground now it’s raining and most of the snow is gone
And there are new lakes where none were before!😱🤷♀️💗🍭often in one's basement!
i'm totally hooked on them now.... a ton of hard work Sandi. :) Congrats on a strong year.
Sandi, this is what it's all about. Delivering a healthy flock.
Your numbers are amazing, which shows you have it together. Even though there are some days you may question yourself.
And working with your spouse is also sometimes conflicted but again in the end you have each other. Your description of working together and the thought process are very similar to how my wife and I interact.
I will end by ...you go girl, you got this. 🐑
New Rams look great xx
Tomorrow we are breaking a 100 year old record in temperature for winter time in Ohio. 67 degrees....Yay! I love your barn set up Sandi. Wow, your numbers are outstanding. Thank you for teaching me about the Seder program on your videos.
Sandi I so enjoy watching the love you put into farming. Hard work, long hours, heart ache but so much love. I hope you have help when Mark is gone for the two months to Australia and New Zealand. Stay strong and don’t be too proud to ask your friends for help! Remember your subscribers are here to support you emotionally as well.
I can’t get over how big they are getting and how fast they have grown. Amazing animals!!!
The new rams look great Sandi.
I am getting really excited as soon as I see that you uploaded a new video! Your Vlog is my new "thing" and I'm loving it!!!
Always impressed with your hard work. I love to watch the babies jump up and down. So cuteee. :)
I love the lamb lounge
Handsome new fellas!! 🙂 excited to see where your new breeding takes the flock. Great numbers for the lambing! 👍🏻❤️ another wonderful video!
Been looking forward to this video all day love the new stock bring on the new baby lambs you do an amazing job hun god bless you please keep the vids coming looking forward to the next video. Love watching the lambs running and jumping around could watch them all day
I love your videos Sandi u inspire me sooo much and I'm always waiting until 5pm for u to upload!!I find your videos so interesting
6:18 baby runs at you and is an escapee and you just keep talking. LOL You crack me yup !!
I mentioned your name and how awesome you are on Justin Rhoades (a great homesteader on youtube too). His wife wants more sheep, had them before and they all bloated/died. So now they have 5 females on pasture and she spent lots of time petting them in a pen so she's a sheep whisperer like you. Hopefully they read my post and checked you out. :) Their subscribers may come here and get addicted like I did. :) I have to hear the sheep to get relaxed for sleep.
Questions: Have you considered covering up your truck & trailer? Cheapest is taking shower curtains or liners, place over cab, cover doors and leave doors unlocked; cover back of stock trailer as to protect door slide from wetness and freezing? Molydisulfate (sp) to cover rubber seals as a barrier from freezing? Warm keys before inserting into locks help. Dry Molydisulfate loosens metal on metal surfaces..its metal shavings very fine. I found these tips helpful when I trailered . 👍
HugsBach ...wow such fabulous suggestions...I must tell my family members who still live in Canada...
Yes Sandy, that’s what happens with needing to hurry in the winter. Never fails! Love the new guys.
I used to work with my boyfriend and what you said is so true but at the same time it strengthens your relationship and causes you guys to be able to work through things together better then other couples in my experience. Much love I always love watching your videos
The lambs in the feeder troughsl outside the pen always make me chuckle.
You should do a video all about genetics and the pros of the different breeds. It's so fascinating!
I second this!
That would be hard
I Love Popcorns baby!!! I'm always trying to look for it...
I love those speckled lambs.
Welcome Boys!!
This is sooo relateable!!
Congratulations Sandi, great to hear it was such a successful group and thanks for taking the time to share it with all of us! With the new rams and the goal of focussing on replacement genetics, it would be a great time to get involved with a genetic improvement program :)!
My husband hates anyone being mad at him , glad I’m not one to exploit that quality . Congratulations on your new boys !
Love how they all watch you when you are talking about them.
enjoyed your video! Thank you for sharing this with us.
My dad is doing your trick and spray painting after there born!!!
Glad to see that lovely smile. And nice new additions. 🙂
Hey Sandi,those are gr8 numbers,especially after the roof disaster,it shows your handling of the situation keep your ewes calm,excellent job👍Baz in U/K
Awww.... your hubbie is so nice
My husband and I have been friends since 1976 and married for 35 years. We're both retired all, children grown and on their own. So I now get most of his attention and he mine, yes we still bump heads, sometimes when I'm weak and things just won't go right, and I just want to cry. There he is my strength, sometimes I snap at him, don't know why, but he forgives me and makes me smile. Its okay to have a rough time, it does really make the good times better. 🌹A rose for you, I hope that you have a better day.
I look forward to watch every video. I found you not that long ago but binge watched alot of your videos. Love the baby lambs.
Congrats on the numbers and the new rams. Another great and informative vlog.
Great info. Says a lot about your hard work 👍❤️
If you look on the back of that light fixture, it may say what the maximum wattage bulb is. A lot of manufacturers do that so people don't put too big of a bulb in them. It probably helps cover their butt too if it would burn the house or in your case, the barn down. Higher wattage bulbs pull more power and create more heat. If the fixture is rated for 100 watt max bulb and you have say a 150 watt bulb in it, the materials it is made of may fail because of the power draw.(heat)
By the looks of that fixture, I would say it should be replaced. With the heat it has seen, it has probably been weakened. When you go to get a new one, look to see what it is rated at. You don't want a repeat performance, you might not get as lucky.
I'd really hate to see that. That's probably why I'm being so long winded explaining this to you. I want you and the animals to be safe. lol!
Have a great day. Get some rest, you look exhausted.
Today my wife and I moved an almost too large couch into our basement. Some drywall repair to do, a light cover has already been replaced, some bad words said and probably worse ones thought...yes working with a spouse can be rough. When it was all done we kissed and made up, joked about it later. (FYI, when that couch leaves this house with help of a sawszall it will be in twice as many pieces). Thanks for the video.
👏👏👏🍻🍭🤯🤦♀️😵🤗🤗🤗😱🦄🦄💗🍭
My friends all laugh because I watch the lambing/kidding videos on TH-cam. I have caught them watching too. I am glad you don't feel you have to sugar coat things. You don't hide the facts that you win some and lose some. People need to know it is all rainbows and unicorns in farming and homesteading. Love your video for that reason.
So happy for you!
