- We are officially into wheat harvest, which means a little overlapping for me as a sheep farmer.
We sorted our last ewes weaned in June, using data and a physical evaluation to decide who stays, and who must go.
Wheat harvest has begun quite well, with only one plug of the leg... thankfully, for once not my doing.
AND... I stumbled across a gorgeous ewe who looks to be carrying quite the litter of lambs!!
She's still got 24 days to go... will she make it??

I get so tickled at Lucy sleeping on her back, it's the cutest thing ever😂😂. I'm pretty sure if Piper was causing trouble or issues with the ewes/lambs, Sandy wouldn't allow her in the barn. Sandy you are doing a phenomenal job, don't worry about the negative comments.
What a joy to watch the two of you work together. When my niece first started dating her husband, he was so happy to tell his mother, "She can even drive a tractor!". She now has sheep and cattle ,while he does their own fields and custom harvesting. Lovely to see.
I’m guessing 5 babies! And in my opinion, people need to worry about their own dogs, not Piper! She obviously loves helping with everything!
Just needs training. Every dog has built in instincts. Harness them, and you'll have a great "sheep" dog.
@@Sarafimm2... Not every dog has shepherding instincts. Piper isn't bred for shepherding.
@@jewelssylva3738 I said "sheep" dog not shepherd dog. What I meant was that you can train Piper to behave better around the sheep. Same with Lucy. No effort, no gain. They've already learned some bad habits and those should be corrected, but I doubt the women have the time to do that. Sandi literally has several jobs she's juggling already. Trying to train a dog would put a whole lot more pressure on her and I don't blame her for putting dog training on the back burner. If her daughter had received the dog when she wasn't ill, it's possible she might have been able to train Piper better, but Lucy is a bad influence. I noticed McKinsey(?) has done better without Lucy in the sheep barn as often.
@@jewelssylva3738, Piper's breed was originally bred to hunt--small game, such as rabbits.
That is my guess 5 babies. Great minds think alike.
Gives me hope for the world to know that Mark & Sandi are sustaining their soil's fertility with crop rotation, cover crops & composted manure.💕💕
I love your family, your farm, and your sheep 🐑 very much! A morning with you is a fantastic day ahead.
But, it REALLY Upsets me when you say that “some viewers get mad when Piper is in the barn.”
First and foremost, it’s YOUR BARN, NOT THEIRS. And if you don’t care that Piper is in there, then so be it. It is just the Rudest thing for a viewer to say. She’s your dog (Jess’s), your barn, and your channel/social media.
I love that Mark gifted you a drone for Christmas 🎄 because I love watching the fields from above. I never thought I’d love to see someone in their field, but, the beautiful view of fields after processing, of any kind. The rows and the patterns are amazing and beautiful!!
You just keep being you and being so amazing!! ❤💜❤💜🐑🐶🐑🐶🐑
A day spent with Sandi, is always a great day :) happy Tuesday everyone
Watching this Wednesday in UK
I was raised on a farm west coast usa. We always had animals for pleasure and for adding food to the table. So, I'm here to talk about Piper. I think that Piper follows her big sister's in the barn and is learning a great deal from them. She gets along well with the sheep and even tries to herd them like big sister Kinsey(even though she's a little). She's learned to stay out of the way of vehicles and has Lucy's affinity for being around and under foot when Sandi trims sheep hooves...😂. The thing is: she's a farm dog, and she does what farm dogs do, and she's good at her job and is loved by all her sheep friends and family. So, for a viewer to speculate as to her fitness and barn qualifications is unnecessary and uncalled for. The only one that can do this is her family! ❤❤❤ Love you, Piper, and keep up the good work!
People need to grow up
Your farm
Your dogs
Your rules
Screw the rest of us
Well said.
110% agree with you.
I so agree!
I totally agree.
Agreed
So happy to see Jess doing so well. I ❤ her hair!!!!! As ALWAYS love starting my day with you and all the adventures of the farm.
I'm SO happy that this summer is MUCH different than last summer!
Jess looks amazing and nothing keeps her down for long!🎉🎉🎉
I do love Jessica’s hair!
@@trishb45 she was beautiful bald. Not many people have a pretty shaped head.
Wow, that’s some baby bump! I think she’s having 4 really big lambs. Sandi, get ready for some big pulls! Glad wheat harvest is off to a good start.
❤🐑 🌾🚜
Love the drone footage of the wheat being harvested
Me too. I also like the videos of riding in the tractors and seeing the crops fr that view.
Your wheat is beautiful, I love watching harvest, but lambing is my favorite. I know you, Mark and the kids really work so hard, but what a wonderful life. My grandparents on both sides farmed and of course had all the usual farm animals. My grandparents on my dad's side used horses to plow and harvest. I miss all of that and them. No matter how hard it gets it's still a wonderful life! Thank you for sharing everything it brings back so many wonderful memories. I just love feeling like you make us a part of your life's journey. ❤
Its crazy how smart Mark is!!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Farmers have an insane amount of skills
If her decisions are not affecting your personal life, leave sandy alone! She is incredibly sweet and kind. And you who judge her any different, really need to look in the mirror first!
Yay!!!🎉🥳 A Sandi Video! Been feeling yucky for a few days now, but Sandi Videos need warnings: may cause happiness and uplifted feelings!💕🥳🎉
So interesting when Mark explains the workings of the harvester!!
I’ve always thought he’d make a terrific college professor, teaching agriculture. He’s has such a great way of breaking down complex issues.
@@robynmorris2408 yes... I just wish he'd wear a mic. I struggle to hear him sometimes.
I'm guessing 6 healthy lambs
In this time after the pandemic, people have become so rude. Everyone feels that because of technology and the lack of face to face conversations, they can just say whatever they want to. We used to not want to hurt peoples feelings or not make a big deal about things. However….there is no one looking at you, so they say whatever. Just ignore those people because they don’t have a clue as to what your life is like on the farm. It’s just different from anything else. I grew up on a farm and live in the city now and it brings joy to my life to see what you do. Thank you 😘
You are SO RIGHT about people feeling as if they have a “right” to KNOWINGLY say rude/hurtful things! And unfortunately in the last few years I’ve noticed a massive steady increase in people now believing in/acting on the idea they also have the same “right” to say rude/insulting/hurtful things face to face to strangers in public…while expecting no negative reaction/social consequences & claiming to be/acting like the “victim” whenever that occur!
- As someone who is relatively young who is physically disabled due to heart/low BP issues and severely unstable joints just trying my best to go about my everyday life…which is ALREADY a physical, mental & emotional struggle…I end up getting *frequent* comments from & encounters/confrontations with such people. Who believe that in their typically 39 seconds or less of seeing me from a distance they know better than me or any of my doctors. And they all claim Im “faking” my disability for benefits(I get none) or mainly for attention. Rude, stressful confrontations plus a heart condition that stress can easily set off IS NOT a good combo! So MULTIPLE such confrontations have resulted in me being taken by ambulance to the hospital and 7 of those resulted in a 2-6 day stay in hospital. All due to random strangers feeling they have the “right” to comment on. judge & interfere in the lives of complete strangers whose actions have ZERO IMPACT on those making comments or starting confrontations. “Confrontations” are always about them believing I can’t legally park in handicap parking, use stores’ motorized carts, that I don’t actually need my own wheelchair(NOT the stores!)or that Im “faking” when having a medical emergency.
I truly don’t understand people anymore!
Me too
I agree with you. In my heart I really hoped and thought then we all got to be back together folks would have been so happy to socialize again and be happy most of us survived. But noooo. It’s the opposite 😢
I believe there's are folks who dont realize they sound offensive. They have no filter, & believe people should hear their opinion. When someone is offended, they will argue & support themself & their opinions. Years ago, when I 1st tried FB, my daughter kept saying, "Mom, just keep on scrolling! Don't respond to negativity!" It works! A negative comment just sitting there with no replies or comments tells its own story...& no one cares!
@@roguewolf7053 I am so very sorry that you must bear the brunt of all those unhappy, impolite, overbearing people who are 100% convinced that they have the right to say whatever they want to whomever they want. I blame the anonymity of social media combined with parents who were clueless about teaching their children to be kind and courteous. Sending you a big hug from Texas.❤
I ❤ Sandi but I also ❤ listening to Mark and his heavier “accent” ay!
Just recently came across your videos and even though I'm no farmer (city girl through and through) and I can't say I'm interested in sheep (the babies are adorable though and I'm an animal lover in general) I find your videos comforting especially in the middle of dealing with a sick cat and hoping I don't have to make that dreaded hard decision but wanted to put it out there your content is a TH-cam gem. ❤
@shannonrusso4935
Welcome to the Brock Flock!! ❤️
I LOVE Piper! She loves being in the middle of everything, which is her job! You guys are the hardest working folks I have ever seen! You have the most beautiful land and sunsets!
Man that baby bump
A big THANK YOU to the dedicated farmers. We couldn't live without you.
Piper is still basically a puppy, she needs to learn, but I can see that sometimes she gets over helpful ? BUT she just needs to learn what is okay and what is not okay, she’ll get there. 🌺💚🙃
she not officaly a puppy anymore she was brought when jess was going through chemo so she is a young adult
@@abigailclayton3505Not exactly….as a dog trainer and obedience judge, at our school we tell owners that their dogs enter the “bratty teenager stage” between age 6 months til 2 years. By that reckoning, Piper is a bratty teenager, and still learning. Even the most brilliant Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Border Collies haven’t matured enough to truly understand our training expectations until they are around 18 months old. Piper is still learning, and figuring out her place on the farm, besides being Jess’s cancer support companion.
@@abigailclayton3505 Depending on breed, she's just gotten into her teenage-dog-years
My pup will be three in October. Yes, he is still a pup, and still learning how to be a dog. I have to say that I see him growing all the time. Piper is a VERY young adult dog. She will get there. Give her a break.
Hard to believe it's been a year since Jess was sick; so glad she's still in remission, hope it stays that way
I think she's going to have 6 , oh my lord have mercy!!!!
Jess is really rocking those Chemo Curls! It’s so wonderful to see her well and working with you. ❤
Never realized hurricane remnants made there way up as far as your area. Learn something new every day. 😊
I was happy when you mentioned recycling the plastic. Every little bit helps. 😊
Hurricane remnants are a Class-A nuisance in the lower great lakes! Some wind, lots of rain w/ some flooding. Look up Hurricane Hazel. If I remember rightly, it hit Toronto with a vengeance!
I’m so excited for lambing to begin! Sandi.. I’ve always been a huge animal lover but with you sharing your life as a wonderful farmer.. I’m so in love with those adorable lambs! Love you, your family and your sheep!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰🐑
You guys are some hard workers, and work together like a well oiled machine!❤
It's great to hear Jess is so hungry! You go girl❤🎉😊
Wow big mamma is really momming. The drone footage looked amazing. Great visual work ❤. I admire your energy Sandi, you never fail to impress me.
New saddlebag pregnancy sheep - BIG BERTHA! 🤣🤣 ❤️🐑
I couldn't help it. When you asked Mark "What's the story?", I said "Morning Glory" at the same time as he did. Great minds think alike!!
Another wonderful day spent with you Sandi! Love Jess’s hair,it’s so thick and curly. ❤
Looks like you definitely have Big MaMa number two,lol, I'm thinking 4 too! Yes it's so different from this time last year, Jess is looking great, and life is moving forward, Sandi, thanks for the update,always fun to see what you are up to.🐑🌱❤️👍
I’m always amazed out how much farmers like Mark are able to do around the farm on their equipment and buildings. My uncle was like was like that.
Farmers by necessity have to be a jack of all trades. Mark is a really good example of a great farmer. Always learning and sharing his knowledge.
@@dideelala4794 Or a ‘Jill of all trades’ like Sandi!
@@sharim Yes, Sandi is a great example.
Big Mama will always be a part of Sheepishly Me!
I get happy when I see a new video. I do want to say I love Jess hair. The curls are beautiful.
boy you guys with the heat and working outside would kill me ..have a great day stay cool
Dogs just want to be around the action and their people. That's what dogs do. Full stop. I love watching the harvest. It is so satisfying to see the results of planting and nurturing a crop. I always grow a vegetable garden for the same reason. Love it. Any kind of farming and husbandry is hard but so satisfying when successful. Direct rewards are so rare. ....a new Marge, ay? Love her!
Shots of your wheat fields are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Loved this episode, especially that Jess is in a tractor helping with harvest and not laid up on the couch mid-recovery from a chemo infusion. ❤ The first day of wheat harvest had quite a few postcard-picture moments that I even wrote down to go back to later - 11:10-15, 14:30, and 16:45 ❤🌾❤🚜❤🌄❤
And the best for last in my comment - a snort-laugh at Sandi's remark, 'Everyone just needs a little lube'.... 😂 Indeed! Absolutely agree!
Farming is so much work! Makes me appreciate the food chain!
Awww mark saying, “Morning glory” was so sweet. My dad used to say that to me every morning
Mine too !❤
My day doesn't start until I watch some sandi😅❤
Hi, Sandi! Thank you for sharing your life in the day with us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow ,looks like a great wheat harvest
The leaves can go on the fields with the sheep dung. Putting the two together really sets off some rich soil making stuff! Grass clippings too.
Though I don't think Kinsey should be kicked out, she lives and breaths those sheep, and is there for you always. She's so invested in the sheep you can see her jumping at the window to make sure everything is ok. I'm sure she was beyond confused why she was kicked out.
I think she was referring to Lucy and Piper, but I could be wrong.
Your videos are always so relaxing to watch even though I know you are busting your butt working! I grew up on a ranch and I miss being with all our animals including my sheep! So watching your videos reminds me of all the good times I had growing up on the ranch here in Texas. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us every week ❤
That big Momma needs a WIDE LOAD banner! 😆😆😆 I'm going to guess she is carrying 5 healthy lambs. I'm rather new to sheep and am learning so much from your videos. Thank you! 🐑
Getting excited for lambing again ❤❤❤ 🐑🐑🐑
Oh goody! A Tuesday treat! Sandi's here!! ❤
It’s Wednesday here
Where are you @@shezza66
@@whatshername369 Melbourne Australia
God bless Jess. Last summer was heart wrenching and I'm so happy that this one is so much better :)
How are you doing? You are looking like you are getting back to feeling like yourself, maybe as the grief fades and the worries lessen...
Always love your videos.
Love to Piper 💜
I am guessing four babies.
Piper is a pup. How many of US took a while to mature? Haters gonna hate. Ewe go girl!❤
The drone footage at 14:33 is spectacular!
I adore this channel, the Brocks are a kind, hardworking, knowledgeable and wonderful family.
The lambies are my most favorite part and the videos make me smile (except for the hard parts, but that is life). Sandi’s flock of followers (99.99% of them!) give me hope that there are still good people in the world. Be well. Take good care. Be kind.
Sandi ! Sandi ! Sandi ! Thanks for all of this one ! I appreciate you and your family! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!
Sandi, Mark, harvesting wheat in July is better than having to do it in the autumn, daylight is a lot longer, this gives you more time in the light.
Stay safe, all of you love from Mike.❤
I think that mama will have 6 babies. Don’t worry about people complaining about Piper. She is your dog, and you do you.
All your animals are so blessed to have your family even the sheep just cause there live stock doesn't mean they don't need love💚 love you Sandi!
Piper is a farm dog. Those people who give you grief about it should take a step back and it's obvious they've never lived on a farm. Every farm dog I've had in my life does the same as yours. I say Pbbbht! to the naysayers.
Piper is a puppy, not adult yet. I love Piper!
@@ruthgrover3335 pretty sure she's adult by now. It was last year before chemo when Jess got her, so Piper is at least 1 year old - it's not really a pup age.
I've seen lots of farm dogs some like Piper and some well trained. I feel it's the owner's preference.
A trained working dog is my best ally but I don't rate pet dogs at all and don't have dogs in my house . We are not watching Sandi to criticize her and everyone has their own ways ....live and let live. 😊
In all fairness I think it’s because we are told to keep dogs away from livestock. And a lot of people don’t realise farm dogs are raised to be around livestock.
Yay! I love my days spent with you on the farm or in the barn! ❤
Lucy takes care of the school bus lambs.
Those wheat fields are so beautiful.
Agree! I love the overhead drone shots of all kinds of field work. It’s not of course the view you see through the windows of the equipment, but seeing the patterns and everything from the air is lovely. ❤️🐑
That was fantastic that it was her opening line "Is she having 7 lambs?" That TOTALLY was my reply on her Insta stories when she posted the first stories... that is CRAZY BIG mamma...
When she talked about Willow, I wondered...
Ewe's are pregnant 5 months, the get weaned at about 3-ish months (is that about right?), and then - how long is it before they get put in with the rams again?
How often do ewe's get between pregnancies?
I guess I'll have to try to figure that out when Willow's group gets put with the ram's again.
Unless anyone knows...
Imagine all the activity from the babies moving around inside mom!
I totally thought "big mama!!"
alicecain4851
Thinking Sandi said 9 months, but that was a long time ago and I don't necessarily trust my accuracy,lol.
@@alicecain4851I think that she waits 10-12 months before the ewe lambs are bread...and they produce 6 years. I think that she has three adult female groups in the barn - pregnant, breading, gave birth - if that makes sense.
Mark is so knowledgeable, like how he explains things.
Remember to listen to the positive things people say about Piper. We love her!
It’s great to see the smile on your face, Sandi. ❤️ After challenging months, routine is always a welcome blessing.
Another beautiful video! Thanks.
5 babies. Hope that she gets her girlish figure back LOL😊
Lucy is looking good, as is your sheep barn. Your wheat field is a beauty to behold.
Harvesting wheat is such a Canadian icon for me. I was born in a small prairie town. Both my parents grew up farming wheat & sugar beets. I loved our childhood visits to various family farms. No one in my extended family farms now. 💕💕
I ❤love the drone shots, shows how beautiful the land is.
So different to our Aussie farms, watch Tara as well, I’m an Aussie, love both channels ,
Lovely camera work Sandi and the DRONE footage was BEAUTIFUL thankyou .... Hi Jess xx
oh my gads the view of the wheat field being cut from above how absolutely beautiful !!!!!!!! and that poor momma oh my my my she be big ... I say 5 !!!!
Sandy, I say she's carrying four big lambs. Yes, BIG MAMA 2.0! ❤
Sandy…negative thoughts from others aren’t worth your time. Piper is a working dog learning her job, and she loves being a part of it all. That huge mama…mercy me! It will be interesting to see how many are in that oven! Jesse looks great, and nice she can help you and Mark! That is a cool piece of equipment Mark is using to harvest the wheat! Have a good week! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
Yay! It's a Tuesday blessing!!
Using my phone data and last bit of battery life on my phone just to watch this video. Lol our power has been out for 12 hours and looking like it won't be on for another 24-32 hours. Hate sunmer storms.
Stay safe
Me too, and it's so worth it
Well, I for one am glad you got your priorities in the right order. 🤭
Nothing more beautyful than a wheat field. 🤩
She’s gonna have 5 and I pray they’re all healthy ❤
I love watching you videos. I use the sound of the sheep to calm me down when I’m getting my blood pressure taken.
The main reason I’m sharing is do you think you could ask Mark to construct a foldable tall table. For when you do your scans. Or Amazon it has everything.
You all work so well together
The only thing I'm worried about with the dogs is that Piper might get hurt accidentally because she is so into things. I know sheep aren't the most dangerous farm animals out there, but that's still 200+? pounds against a tiny dog. 🙈
farm dogs learn very early to get out of the way around a farm, equipment animals etc. i was raised on a horse ranch and we owned a dog kennel. so about 30 horses anywhere from 15-25 dogs, a few goats, chickens, rabbits and until i was around 12 a few cows. never ever was one of our dogs hurt on the ranch. we learned to keep one eye out for them just in case but they are adept at moving out of the way and keeping a safe distance from things. if piper gets a head butt now and then it teaches to to stop harassing the sheep and not get too close if they are not in the mood. all part of farm life. she's only a year old still puppy stage so is still mischievous nosey but learning.
Wheat is SUCH a pretty crop! That golden color and fun shape of stalk is warming to the heart!
I wouldn't care what others say about Piper. She is still a puppy and wants to be with her family. On that ewe I would name her big mama jr. Can't wait to see the new lambs. Love the babies just like we all do. Glad Jess is still doing wonderful. ❤❤❤
Piper has so much a better, exciting and active life than most city dogs. She is so obviously a happy animal. My dogs were never on leash until we moved to the city. Being with her humans, learning from Kinsey, being around farm animals, just being free is a happy healthy life for dogs. Unfortunately I live it city and sometimes I'm sad for my leash bound city dog. But he does get a lot of attention and activity from me. I only get rescue dogs so that's an improvement on their life's. Love you, your family, dogs, and sheep! ❤
I have watched you for years.
Your explanation of utilizing wheat straw for bedding , mixed with sheep poop, thank you for the free labor, sheep 😂, into fertilizer when mixed with chicken poo.
Everything in a circle.
Love your channel.
Came for the lambs,….
Staying for the farm.
God bless You & Mark, and your much loved Children.
Lucie looking good moving abit easier
Sandi, you own this TH-cam account, you make the video’s, no one else does on your channel.. who cares if people wanna whine about this or that, they can leave because more will come.. now about Piper, she is a part of your family, she was bought for Jess during a extremely stressful time in your life, she helped Jess and the family through a rough par of your lives.. who cares what people think, she is a part of your family, yes she can be rowdy, yes she’s not trained and yes you guys and a lot of us love her. Please ignore the backlash about her and keep it like it has been since you guys got her. Like I said this is your life, we love watching your video’s, you shouldn’t have to change a thing.. thank you for being here and doing what you do and letting us be apart of it.. we love you, your family even the fur and wool ones ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Her channel and her dog….people need to be told “MYOB” more often!
Kenzie is teaching Piper how to be a sheep dog. She will learn, plus she is so good with the lambs.
Well said i totally agree
Poor mama. Goodness I can’t imagine how uncomfortable she is. She’s the new big mama of the barn 😂😅
I love the drone footage in the field. My grandfather was a farmer so it brings back memories. ❤
Sandi, for some reason I just LOVE the Drone footage ❤. You have a beautiful farm AND you are awesome ! Thank you for sharing with us.❤😊❤
Awesome video today! Piper is just fine. She is only a year old. This is what young dogs do. Someone does not like it, change the channel. That wheat looks really pretty. Looks like a great harvest. As for the very pregnant ewe.....I think 5 or 6 . Thank you for sharing your world. See you in the next one,
The chunky sheep is my spirit animal… call her Zoe 😂😂😂
Your allowed to do what you want with your animals. As long as all are safe and happy. I wouldn't worry about it.
Good afternoon Sandi, from a very stormy and rainy Newmarket, ON.
That's one very large mama! My guess is five, beautiful babies. I hope you were able to get all your wheat dry before the storms hit your area. 🤗🇨🇦🙏
Like the lady said your farm your rules. I love Lucy laying back every time I see that I start laughing. It's just cheers me up so much. These guys rock!
🎉 ... love when you pop up on my screen... All 3 of your doggies have unique and wonderful personalities.... Piper is the inquisitive energetic youngster, and I love seeing her checking out the sheep with the curiosity of youth!
She should be welcome anywhere!
Although from a screen, I welcome you all into my home!😊
Ah Lucy ... the cool cement must feel good on her back X-D ... RIP big mamma ....
