OH NO.... NOT AGAIN!! Vlog 260

- Today was our FIRST SPRING STORM!
Which included more flooding in the barn due to a rain sensor that I've been fighting with since this new roof was installed...
But it was a productive day, despite the roadblocks.
Jack helped me fix my WIFI so my lambing cameras would work better, I fixed a cable on the sidewall curtain, and finally weighed my first group of market lambs.

Funny to watch the sheep over your left shoulder paw at the fence while you explain the sheep market - like she’s tapping to get your attention.
Sometimes it helps to think of the positives. You did a great job at lambing over December. And you deserve credit for that. Everything else has been out of your hands. Those Lambs look great.
Thank you for petting Billy for us all.
A therapy lamb - I love it!! It's calming just watching you petting him. He's just so beautiful! Thanks, Sandi, for making these videos that just brighten my day. 🌷
@6:00 the lovely ewe in the back, pawing at the gate. " Don't worry! Come over here and be with me. All will be well"
LOL I saw her too, but thought she was saying "hey where is my breakfast?" ..
Yes! It was adorable how focused she was on Sandi. :)
I was thinking the same thing😂
Billy the Kid is really stealing the show. We all love him😍
BILLY, a dog's spirit in a sheep's body. He's good therapy for you. We always ook forward to seeing him and the rest of the sheep.
Billy the Kid is just too cute.
WOW where did the time go? I can't believe your only 8 days away. I enjoyed the last time it was about when I started watching. See I knew you were going to keep Billy. Good He is a great lamb. lol Stay safe and healthy.
Your the hardest working person in all the world...Girl!!!!
I am sure Billy won't be on the easter dinner table I think he is destined to be a family pet for ever. Take care and god bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Im soooo glad your keeping Billy the kid. He is precious. Such a cutie pie 💙💚
Love that you’re keeping Billy. He’s adorable 🐑
that is a lot of rain,, better than snow keep your lambs, till ready love you mom
A suggestion for Kinsey... not sure how much it will help but, teach her to sit and wait for a release word when you open the barn door. Then you can start applying the sit and release to other things (like the handling system).
Good idea!
Yes VERY IMPORTANT ....and try and keep her working behind you more often...just a suggestion :)
Food motivation is helpful, a nuisance at times... TH-cam videos.. ;)
Forget food rewards. Yes get her trained to help drive the group, on YOUR command only. So the wait command is imperative!
A manual Over-ride switch would work just fine too. Even after it is fixed.
OK, your training Billy to jump on you from behind and climb on you which will only get more aggressive. When you see that coming, curb his behavior soon. It's not about keeping him away but respecting you and your space. He just needs to understand your safety rules.
You can have an override put on the curtain to ether rise or lower as needed. That may be something Jack can look at for you. Good luck with the market.
Larry, nature trained Billy to mount like that, not Sandy. If he stays intact he will indeed get more persistent, hence Sandy's comment on having to watch out. Don't think one can curb that behavior much.
Sandi.
You are one fonomanel lady every one can see the love you have for your sheep farming, you do very well with your challenges. When you talk it over with the camera and us out here, using us as a sounding board you can see the path way you need to take which is beautiful.
Take Care Be Safe Alway's
I thought the sensor was not out far enough! Easy fix. I have been waiting to see Billy and his boy attitude. He is the prince after all.
Billy is such a sweet boy and he brings you so much pleasure. He Will get you through this. God Bless you Sandi and yours.
Don't panic sell. Take a break and a cup of coffee, sit down with paper and pencil and figure out your costs.
If you are going to ship your lambs with another person the other person should pay their portion of the shipping on a per head. There are some other things to throw into the formula. You can work that out.
Above all don't panic sell.
builders and handymen plumbers are essential services
Kinsey looked so cute when she was sitting and looking at you like "aren't you going to fix this?"
Here in nz we are in complete lockdown so you got home at the right time
I get inspired every time I watch these many videos. Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of having such a sheep farm. From Mongolia.
Love him.... So pretty...
Hang in there.... All will be ok....
Oh my god I love Billy he's made my day been so lonely here all by myself have a cat but she's an idiot lol not cuddly I say wait and take them in two weeks
I am alone too So idle is not something I enjoy. I started spring cleaning early it helps My garden is next...God Bless
@@marcietee3841 I got out my crochet hooks and started making blankets and a light sweater for me.
The interaction with the black ram was so sweet. Thank for the explanation of why you can’t be too friendly with rams too. I hope you made a good decision on shipping or not 👍
Billy the Kid -- he's at that age and level of sweetness where you wish you could keep them forever. You're right about the ram lambs going from cuddly to dangerous -- we just shipped our South Down ram to another farm for that reason. It seems like only a month ago he was a sweetheart. With a fence between them, though, you can still love on them. I've had three ram lambs that I've neutered and turned into pets -- they tend to stay sweet without the hormones and less likely to headbutt :)
I hope you waited. I feel so bad for your business. I am sure it will get better soon. I love lamb and would buy from you... Billy loves you so much.💋
I just love your presentation on each and everyone of your productions. You are an extraordinary woman and sheep farmer..! Thanx for listening.
I love the way they look at you.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING IN YOUR VIDEO JUST NOW THAT YOU ARE KEEPING BILLY. HE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART.
I did a whole video on this... good news! He stays!
@@SandiBrock I must have been sleeping through that video.
I would gladly pay extra for a quality product. You have it. Keep the faith. Things will work out. 🙏
Thanks so much Adam!
Sandi! I love your grays showing through!! I've been gray for 10 years. No more time & $$$ spent covering up the inevitable. You are such a natural beauty - let it shine!!!
Here in the states construction workers are considered essential workers. When I saw your post my first thought was hey lady you have some awful mean nasty looking clouds over your way. Praying any bad winds spare you in the future, you have been through so much. Stay well, stay strong and best if luck for the next lamb crop.
Sandi, you previously mentioned you would like for someone to make you something that looks like the back end of a Ewe for your handler, so they can think there is one ahead of them. Why not take a picture and have it printed out on canvas then just attach it where you want it?
Your ads give me time to read the extraordinary comments from soooo many good people that view n subscribe..! Thank you...!
You do a very good job. I congratulate you. Have a nice day. it is raining very strongly. greetings
God bless your farm and family. Prayers for rain relief. Glad everyone is safe and loss was minimal. From Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰
Rain not knowing how much you are getting for lamb sold but you do know that Bill loves you
Billy is so cute! I can't wait to see all the newborn lambs in a few days! Hope the lambing goes smoothly for you and is as stress free as possible. I love watching your videos.
Woohoo ! She keeping Billy !
That true love Billy!!!💓💓
I like lamb all year round. Bbq chops are wonderful.
Oh Billy the Kid is just like a puppy.
Billy lovvvves you and wants you to have his kid.
6:00 the sheep behind Sandi is all of us.
I agree. Waiting is the right answer.
That sheep at 6:05 really wants to ask a question! 😆
very inquisitive! LOL
LOL I was thinking the same thing!!!! Its so stinking sweet!!!
I think she wants to know when you're going to get the curtain curtains fix
Naw she was asking for pets and cuddles.
Me too I've gained a pound a day since I'm in quarantine, I might be related to sheep 😅
LivingTheDream I thought I was the only one gaining weight during this. Be well
Oh my, that's the problem! I just thought junk food is a main menu lately. Blessings
I've had the opposite problem. too much going on, too much thinking, forgetting to eat...
@@jeriannroberts1816 I gain and didn't eat junk Some of us just can't be idle. I started my spring cleaning early It is helping... My garden is next God Bless
Going to be alot more people gaining weight, around here all the older ladies are talking about is all the babies that will be born next winter because of the stay at home order. It could be interesting. The circle of life, some will die, and new will be born.
🙏🏻❤️ Sending love and prayers. Stay safe and healthy.
Love him I hope you keep him forever........ Sandi you should be able to get a switch to shut the curtains when the rain sensor is not working. We had a garage door that was wonky. We found a repairman who knew exactly what to do. Google one he may even come out with the condition you stay in the house. We'll get through this. Hugs from Minnesota
Who ever would have thought it's now February 2022 and we are still going through this Hell!!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Wait. Billy reminds me of my 4-H days. I raised and showed Suffolks. Won 1st place with my whether. He also brought the highest price per pound. Ah, those were the days.;) Baaaaaaah Billy!
Don't worry about tommorow! There is today, enjoy your family, keep them close, remember, soon they'll be grown and gone on their own adventures
I’m surprised you haven’t invested in a squeegee yet. Make getting the water out a little easier, I would think.
LOL. I have one and forgot to grab it..
Might consider putting in a drain too. Then you wouldn't have to remove the water manually. :)
Go buy a section of PVC gutter, spring clamps and down spout. Clamp gutter to roof edge with spout directed at sensor. Water will collect and trigger.
I love your videos! I can't for the world figure out why 23 people would give you a thumbs down!!
Really interested in your decision on this load of lambs.
Sorry you were having a rough day again. When the basement flooded at grandparents house (once or twice a year) we had a Wet/dry vac that had a water hose connection on the bottom. When you sucked up the water it would push through the hose outside into the yard. Just an idea ! Thanks for the video !
Have a good time, nice person I have been following you for a long time, you have a very nice farm
Your videos keep me going In this pandemic I have missed my Billy fix 🐑
I recomend you get an electrician install a switch in parallelnwith the sensor to give you a manual control or the curtains.
I thought of that also. As trouble she has had with the curtain. Need a remote control of the curtains that by passes the rain sensor .
Billy always make my day XD
I would wait and take them in two weeks.
Blessings to you and your family. 🌸🙏🌸
The first lamb you weighed gained a pound a day! Me too! This self isolation is making me gain weight because I eat when I'm bored😂😂😂
I would wait the 2 weeks.
All construction is allowed to work! This has gotta be driving you crazy! Can’t wait for baby time! The girls looking good .....awe just love billy time of cuddling! Naughty little boy. He just wants kisses
They are an essential service and if you are passed quarentine, you can call them.
Serious Looooove Billy he is sooooo cute adorable and soo handsome for a Buck ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍keep up the good work. Btw i love watching your Vlogs🥰 Greetings From Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰👍👍🐏🐏🐑🐑
Don’t stress. Your lambs are great so the market will go well!
I think you should wait the two weeks see if things don’t get a little better. ❤️
Glad to see the Rain Gauge could be pulled out and hopefully that will solve your problem with Çurtains. Sometimes you just have to say no. Ask them if willing to wait till more ready. Never hurts. Glad your son could help me with WiFi. Always nice not to have pay to get something done. Peace Be With You All ☮️
Billy is adorable, hopefully he will learn that Sandi mommy needs soft bumps!!
I love your 🐑
thanks!
I've decide for the best we are in a month long quarantine, unless I need something at the store badly, my family is just hunkering down.
Stay safe and with all farmers, thanks for what you do for everyone.
Do you have grocery delivery where you live? The lockdown really got that service ramped up, and it was a godsend for me (I'm in a wheelchair because of polio issues).
Surely there are rules about fella's looking as handsome as Billy does. I still wonder if he's a Bernese Mtn dog masquerading as a sheep! looking forward to his get!
Praying for everyone dealing with businesses right now! 🥺. It is so tough right now.🌸
Where I live in Australia 🇦🇺 we have just hit stage 3 lockdown. That means only allowed out of the house for essential services. All I can say is I thank god for your channel right now. Expect a lot of likes and comments to come through on your older vlogs lol. Take care and stay safe 💕🇦🇺
He wanted a hug. Thank Sandi for sharing g your life I love you vlogs love 💕
Sandi you need to get one of those long floor squeegees so you if have a flood you can squeegee it all to the garage door if needed!!!
MY BABY IS COMING IN 8 DAYS TOO!! 4th babe, first son. Being induced due to virus. Yay, he will share a birthday with lammmmbssss. 😍♥️♥️
Can't blame Billy I've had the same thought once or twice(in my best crocodile dundy voice)😍😂😜
I hope you are keeping Billy
Hi again SANDI
Try to take things one day at a time so you don't get overwhelmed. You're doing a great job working on and solving the problems. Remember DELAY IS NOT DENIAL so hang on for the markets to get a bit better because there's always those folks that have to or tradition into having lamb. Try to think of some pther ways to market them and see what could work. Positive thinking as be careful what you think or wish for!!
You can be very proud of what you've accomplished! The lambs look great!!!
You go girl you can overcome and do all you need to do...
Catcha next time!
I love Billy 😍😍😍
One of my friends moms did the sheep thing for a while but ended up having to get rid of most of hers because a ram she had raised ended up butting her in the side of her knee and then she wasn’t able to do most of the work for them for months. Be careful, billy is the cutest thing ever though
Get well soon
How cute is Billy tho... 🤩😍 He melts my heart... I bet he's super soft and cuddly ❤️❤️
Sandy Don't reward bad behavior with any animal no matter how young and cute they don't stay that way. I learned the hard way with a stallion. I was down with a broken foot for months. He just wanted to play I got too close and got kicked on the side of my foot I would hate to not pet them, so give him limits and a small treat for keeping all 4 on the floor I love you and Billy
The last few minutes of you playing with Little Billy were my favorite.
You need to keep Billy the 🐑... He is so darn cute..
How about making a large funnel and position it over the rain sensor that would ensure a more constant flow of water over it until you get it fixed.
Ooh that's a lot of water! Well look at it this way, you got to mop and clean the floor!
Wait - You will have more to ship and it will be much closer travel & time wise.
People still need to eat.
Glad you are thinking ahead with Billy - not worth anyone getting badly hurt.
Thanks for sharing your day and sheep with us - Sandi!
When you get heavy rain like that it a good time to see where water pools and how you might be able to build up ground and put in drainage trenches to direct it away.
You know you cant sell Billy. Everybody has gotten attached to him. And I know you have too! Your right though you cant get attached to them . They are market lambs and the holiday is coming. It is sad that we have this virus going around and it's most likely going to effect the market. This will sound horrible but if I were you I would have to suck it up and keep moving forward. Things always get better. When this stuff happens to me I always tell myself WHEN THE STORM CLOUDS HOVER, REMEBER THE SUN SHINES ABOVE HER! This and prayer gets me through. Keep up the great work and videos. With it being so boring staying in I can always go back and rewatch your videos. Best wishes to you and your family and please stay safe.
She is keeping Billy The Kid!!❤❤❤
I'm not a sheep farmer, but I think based on what you were presenting, I agree with Robyn Morris, and would wait the 2 weeks so you have more animals, and a shorter trip to market. Blessings to you, Mark, and your family.
Well, all you can do is contact the roof installers and see when/if they can come out. They will be able to tell you if they can or if they have to wait a bit. If it's affecting the health of the animals (a food supply) then it may be considered essential business
Love you keep the great work 🐬
If you can go over a full cycle of your process from the start till the end of weaning what do you feed and for how long and what vaccines you give them in each stage all in one video so it can be easy source and please be specific with the timing from the beginning and the end of each stage
great idea! Thank you!
