1. I love how the lambs always take advantage of the free space when the mamas are eating 2. I discovered your channel last week and I'm in love with everything you do 💚
That lamb that was mom 🏄 surfing at the end had some MADD SKILLZ!! Love how it's sibling backed up so the little baby could have a successful dismount!! These videos are chicken soup for the heart and soul. Thanks Sandi!!
Yeah, when he throws big lambs himself you won't really want him. As a meat animal then yes. Really you want a small birth weight, its easier on the female. And a low wean weight. The female doesn't have to stress herself as much to feed it. Once the baby is weaned is when you want them to put on weight because they aren't dependent on mom and she can focus on her pregnancy. Cattle ranchers typically breed for "calf ease" via small calves that stay smallish until they are weaned. The murray grey and most commercial Angus have this trait. When I used to breed goats I kept a few bucks and usually always picked the smallest one out if a set of twins. I once picked a moderate sized triplet and used him one year. Now, I don't really have more than 20 goats, but he threw GAINT kids. I lost 2 nannys and 4 kids because of it. There where 7 set of triplets and they where just to big. I sold every female and banded every buckling. I also sold the ram.
Tator Kator can totally agree with you. We have had lambs that have been 8 or 9kgs and they just don’t grow as fast as the smaller birth weight lambs. They are really stunted by a high birth weight.
Nutrition in the 1st and especially the 3rd trimester has a lot to do with lamb or kid size. Sandy explains this in the video. Especially if you are free feeding. Limiting the dams feed intake in late gestation to only what is necessary helps keep those lambs a bit smaller and reduces instances of dystocia. Difficulty at birth due to an overgrown fetus is almost always a management and feed issue. Except in a few cases such as Belgian blue cattle who can't be born naturally.
I was screaming at my phone "HURRY! BREAK HER WATER!!" My husband looked at me and said "You know she can't really hear you, right?" I looked at him and said "she did what i was telling her to do, didn't she!" Of course i know these aren't live videos..... but im gonna give verbal encouragement anyways! 💙 Megan
wow Sandi I've learned so much from you. I didn't even have any idea that you fed ewes different amounts of feed depending on how many lambs they are expected to have.
2:38 The black lamb with the white face on the left is the cutest. He/She has been here since everyone started lambing. I know you shouldn't name them, but I've named it Toby. It's just so cute.
Sandy I just love your videos. Especially the ones in your lovely barn when the ewes are lambing. That was so adorable seeing that little lamb surfing on Mom's back! It's like a new sport! Anyway, everyday I look forward to another wonderful video. It's so interesting and your so likeable! Please take care, and please keep making videos because I'd be lost without them!
My Grandmother was a midwife, back in the days when the doctor was 40 miles away by horse. When a baby arrived without the sack breaking, it was called a mermaid baby and it was good luck. Granny was born in Iceland and was brought to Canada by her mother, father and 3 sisters. They settled in the Interlake area up around Lake Winnipeg.
Thieves. We had A mare on a tb farm I worked at that it was almost impossible to wean her foals! She'd work another mare's foal into a corner until it got desperate enough to nurse off of *her*, and then she'd just get a blissful look on her face, and threaten Momma when she'd come to find her jr. Got to the point she had to be moved to another farm and turned out in a solitary paddock for exercise. She truly WAS that bad. But, huge notation on her file about being a great candidate as a foster mother in case of tragedy.😉🤷♀️
Don’t even worry about what people say you should be doing. You do it your way unless they are in your situation they have no idea❤️ Your doing an awesome job Sandi
Wow the one born in its sac was amazing! In humans that is called an en caul birth or used to be called a mermaid baby! Learned that from "Call the Midwives"
Omg yes another awesome video love watching these vids and seeing all the cute baby lambs you do an amazing job hun please keep the videos coming looking forward to the next vid love you guys yous are awesome wow thats the first time i have seen a lamb born still in their bag wow
Sandi, Watching you pull Lambs brings me back to when I use to pull Calves on our Farm, Oh the Memories of those days gone by. You don't know how much I enjoy seeing lambs being born. I especially love seeing the lambs up on there Mom's backs, That is just so cool to see the Agility they have after being born.
I'm honestly not sure how I found your channel , with that being said, I'm beyond happy that I did. I'm a horse girl but I love learning about farming other animals and so far your channel has been the best one to watch in showing me what it is like through out it all. From the good and bad and I'm truly thankful that you don't sugar coat everything to make it seem easy keep your head up and keep doing what your doing because your amazing.
This was just a darned good video. Your ewes are such good mothers and trust you. The big lamb is a chunk for sure. I always found with my cattle the big calves took a while to get going. Your climbing lambs are such fun. And the ewe at the end deserves an award for most tolerant momma👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you for the lovely time with your sheep
I found that if it was below freezing waters don't break. But that's with goats. Had one goat have triplets. All three babies where born in their bag. It was the coldest night of the year at 0'f. And some goats not wanting to push like the drama queens they are🙄. They would walk around and when a contraction came they would go to their knees. By the time they slightly started pushing (and gave up) they where so dilated it was like sticking my hand into a vast cavern and the babies just slide out. I don't keep females and their kids if they do that. I only had about 20ish goats at one point. Nowhere near the amount you have.
Sandi I just want you to know that I've been watching your shows for a while. Im hooked I have learned so much, I just want to thank you because I have searched for others but there are none at least that have good shows, good information and tricks. I want to raise sheep and I know it will be a while but I know when that happens I'll be ready. Thank you for teaching and being our teacher. Love tamorah
Woe you have your hands full. It was so cute to see all the Moms eating and the Babies running. So cute and adorable. Also like it when Lambs are laying on their Moms. Great Job
Those lambs havin a race was the cutest thing I’ve seen On Utube there all gorgeous that big boy is a whopper god love him ewes sure r givin u some gorgeous babies all colours shapes and sizes love ur vlogs so much 😍😍
That black and white lamb through. SO ADORABLE! I am sure you know which one I am talking about. Will you name her?! She could be your next “pet” sheep.
What Ended up happening with the speckled lamb a couple days ago you didn’t think was going to make it? The one you were able to put a faster lamb with the mom?
Awesome video! I've never seen a lamb born completely in the bag like that! I've been watching you regularly for over a year and I ADORE YOU!! I hardly ever comment because I don't want to bother you! You are so busy! Anyway - this video needed a shout out!!!
Your Vlogs are absolutely fascinating. I've never seen anything like it and lambing triplets and quadruplets is amazing. Nothing like riding piggyback on a very generous natured mother sheep. It looked as if she was the creche's mother.
Just so awesome! I watched a 15 minute commercial just for you because of the amazing work you do. Thank you for giving us a lamb fix... the only thing better would be cuddling them. Hugs from Halfiax
I just subscribed . What a wonderful channel. Amazing to see how you do this all indoors . I’ve lived on farms so used to out door this is so good. I can see you love the animals . Xox
After working in the sterile compounding (pharmacy/medical) field, where I've not been allowed to wear any jewelry while on the job (even had to remove wedding bands), I'm still amazed at the dangling bracelet charms Sandi will have on while "going in" for rescue.
Love watching your videos! I had a set of triplets born two years ago to one of my dairy goats that I had to break each of their water bags,the sacks were really thick. It was good I was there as she never stood to clean or try to get sacks off.
That shot at 2:40 with ALL the lambs running together was the cutest thing i have ever seen!
I love the one that’s black with the big white patches on its face, it’s like a little Holstein lol
@@vampsbware4554 ya i hope Sandi keeps that one forever!
I loved it too....why were they racing back and forth like that.....just to fun?
@@kcmcnut yes just to have fun and play...calves do the same thing.
I think the baby sheep having a cute little race so cute
1. I love how the lambs always take advantage of the free space when the mamas are eating
2. I discovered your channel last week and I'm in love with everything you do 💚
So am I!! I want to start breeding sheep! Or maybe goats. I think Sandi is amazing and I always look forward to her vlogs.
same!
Same❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Sandi you are hands down amazing!! Canada's Woman of the Year for me.
The lamb standing on its mom's back at the end was hilarious, that one can go to the circus!
That actually wasn’t his mom. 😂 The lamb was 12 and the ewe was 9.
Just burst out laughing at the lamb balancing on mum as she stood up! 🤣🤣
That lamb stampede was the cutest thing ever!!
I never thought I would be as emotionally invested in sheep as I am today.
That lamb that was mom 🏄 surfing at the end had some MADD SKILLZ!! Love how it's sibling backed up so the little baby could have a successful dismount!! These videos are chicken soup for the heart and soul. Thanks Sandi!!
I just love that black lamb from the 1st bunch they are all so stinking cute when they climb mom or cams running to you!
17 lbs that’s a keeper can’t wait to see his weaning weight
Norma Broussard me tooooo. Lol
Yeah, when he throws big lambs himself you won't really want him.
As a meat animal then yes.

Being born encaul (still in water bag) is very rare. Most don't make it if someone isn't around. Great catch.

Same and I am watching this a year later.
@@lindaa8550 Just to third you, and this vid was posted three years ago, LMAO. I'm catching up on old vids.
I'm only watching it now
I really, really like watching your videos, the lambs and their antics never get tiring. I’m glad things are going good for you.
Watching you at work is a privilege.And the joy I get from watching the lambs riding their mom’s back is just unbelievable. Thankyou so much.
So cute watching the little ones run up and down while moms are feeding.
OMG, 2:36 when all of the babies are running toward you. Cuteness overload!!
wow Sandi I've learned so much from you. I didn't even have any idea that you fed ewes different amounts of feed depending on how many lambs they are expected to have.
Those triplets are adorable. The eye markings and floppy ears remind me of mini donkies
2:38
The black lamb with the white face on the left is the cutest. He/She has been here since everyone started lambing. I know you shouldn't name them, but I've named it Toby. It's just so cute.
In all honesty, I thought her dog had a puppy and it had gotten into the pen with the lambs 😂
Wowp
New subscriber, loved all the lambs running around...
DITTO!!
Welcome to paradise in the pandemic
So freaky and cool watching that lamb be born inside the sac!
en caul

I see why ya do it. Those babies are stinking adorable! I love watching your smiles grow.
I love how excited the dog gets running into the barn the second you open the door
I just love watching the lambs being born and the "stealers". 😀

Wow I love to see those babies running up and down then sitting on their mom's oh my word adorable
I like how the lambs perch on top of their mum!! LOL a picture perfect moment!
The lamb on mother back was adorable. I'm watching you now to relax. These videos help me calm down before bedtime.
Don’t even worry about what people say you should be doing. You do it your way unless they are in your situation they have no idea❤️ Your doing an awesome job Sandi
OMG I do not know how you keep up with all of that.... God Bless and Good Luck

That climbing lamb didn’t expect the mountain to move. Now he’s wondering how to get down! 😆

I don't keep females and their kids if they do that.
I only had about 20ish goats at one point. Nowhere near the amount you have.
I think it is so cute when the baby sits on the mommy
Sandi I just want you to know that I've been watching your shows for a while.

Omg Dusty. You deserve a medal of honor. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. So sad and traumatic❤❤❤.prayers
What good girls the sheep are
I am so humbled and impressed! God bless you!
Sandi, you read my mind and answered a question about one ewe, two rams, two different lambs. Thank you.
Woe you have your hands full. It was so cute to see all the Moms eating and the Babies running. So cute and adorable. Also like it when Lambs are laying on their Moms. Great Job

Hello Sandi , it looks like you have a house full . I like that little lamb that was riding on his moms back .
I like small lambs run back and forth. Also enjoy your video .hope you enjoy your day
It is so cool to watch the lambs running and playing. They are so cute, but than I'm a big "baby" anything fan. Love love love babies.
What Ended up happening with the speckled lamb a couple days ago you didn’t think was going to make it? The one you were able to put a faster lamb with the mom?
That Baby lamb standing on the moms back so cute Sandi, woah a triplet day for you, Congratulations 🥰♥️
One of my favorites so far. Sweet lambie on the momma with 2 lambies drinking
I love that one ewe that keeps coming back to steal other ewe's lambs.
What happened to the “ohhh that’s it we’re getting a divorce” ewe who didn’t wanna care for its lamb??
🍽
Last weeks supper
I love your videos so encouraging for other farmers! Keep the great work up! Happy 2020
I Love this little lamb therapy! Bif Smiles! Thanks!
Sandi brock , I just love 💘 💘 all the lambs !!
I love watching the lambs play
The baby on mama’s back when she stands up, keeps looking at the ground as if thinking “Now what?” So adorable ❤️❤️
Awesome video! I've never seen a lamb born completely in the bag like that! I've been watching you regularly for over a year and I ADORE YOU!! I hardly ever comment because I don't want to bother you! You are so busy! Anyway - this video needed a shout out!!!

Just thought of this..."Stealer.... no stealing....."LOL
I love your lambing videos!
I bought a tablet and I lost you I am so glad that I found you your working hard like usually. 🐑🐏🐑🐏
I have just discovered your blog and love it so much! Wish I lived near you, I would be free help for you just so I could watch the lambs be born
I just found your channel. I love it!!! Very educational and exciting to learn everything about lambs and their babies.
"this one's lambing....... And this one's lambing....... And a couple of them over there are thinking about it"
They are soooo lucky to have Sandy
I love the tail wags.
I love lambs because whenever I get stressed or anxious I go sit down with them and I always feel better
Great job to the new moms great job to you for helping them too
Thanks for sharing this really i know it's not easy,they are happy and healthy nice to see.
I just subscribed . What a wonderful channel. Amazing to see how you do this all indoors . I’ve lived on farms so used to out door this is so good. I can see you love the animals . Xox
Thanks Leanne!
omg that was awesome! I giggle watching the lambs sitting on mom!
Number 9 at the end I think is a great momma. 2 drinking and 1riding all at the same time. Way to go sandy.
After working in the sterile compounding (pharmacy/medical) field, where I've not been allowed to wear any jewelry while on the job (even had to remove wedding bands), I'm still amazed at the dangling bracelet charms Sandi will have on while "going in" for rescue.
Good day 🙋🏻♀️ !
Love watching your videos! I had a set of triplets born two years ago to one of my dairy goats that I had to break each of their water bags,the sacks were really thick. It was good I was there as she never stood to clean or try to get sacks off.
I love these lambing videos! The en caul birth might be the coolest thing I’ve seen!
Loved the lambs climbing on Mum then she stands up & he is stuck lol
Little precious angels 😍
Love the lambs standing and laying on mom.
I absolutely love when they just have one massive lamb and it looks absolutely jacked compared to the lambs from multiples 😂
The baby stampede was so fricking cute.
That would be scary. Love you.
