something bad happened. Vlog 239

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.พ. 2020
- Tuesday was rough.
But it was little acts of kindness from friends, neighbours and YOU (my online family) who pushed me through.
The rest of the week was more post wean sheep and lamb observations. They have transitioned well!
Lesson for the week...
Believe in yourself. Own your truth. Share your truth.
Because if you give that away, they can't really steal it.

I'm a vegan, our whole family is vegan. I still LOVE your videos. I am passionate about animal cruelty, this is NOT animal cruelty.
You're so much better than the rest of us.
Agree
You're just a total sweetheart and I can tell you love these animals. I would much rather someone like you loving, and always worried about their health raising them, than some of the real villains that don't care about the animals at all. You really care about what you do and we love you
I eat meat. I love Lamb. but i try to be Ethical with my meat Purchases. its not always possible, because of finances, but when i can, i get my meat from a farmer, or from someone who buys from a farmer who treats their animals well. Sandi is my hero. she's everything i want to see from someone who raises animals for consumption.
They're not here for a long time, but they're definitly loved, well taken care of, and happy for the time that they are here. and that matters to me.
Some people vieuw either the keeping of the sheep inside all year and/or the killing animals for meat consumption as cruelty. At first I was a bit scetshy on the inside keeping, cus I'm not used to it, I've only seen sheep held inside in the winter for lambing and just cus to cold inside. But now iv'e watched over 300 of this i can say theese girls and lambs cant do any better. And I'm glad that someone who doesn't eat meat can see that theese animals are raised good and with care. But there still is some work to do on some places where animals go in and meat comes out... (Cant write the word in english)
For every "activist" that makes you cry, there are hundreds of us who find joy in seeing how you love and care for your sheep! And I love your smile! 😊
If not thousands! There are so many ways in the way that she was treated that were wrong, and mean. We have been doing this with animals for thousands of years, and Sandi treats them better then a lot of people
Teena Willis ...please don’t cry any more Sandi.....I can’t take your sadness any more without crying along with you...It’s emotional for most of us to see you so sad and broken....Those who choose to rob you of your inner decency don’t deserve your loyalty..Those cowards who attack you don’t deserve to breathe the same air...
@@wispii2254 . Sandi treats these beautiful innocent gentle animals with kindness? Then sending them off after fattening them to a slaughterhouse to make her profit? How sweet can this be???. Oh my God. Think how insane this sounds. Treating them kindly, then killing them??
Deanna Pye this isn’t any different than the vegetables you grow and then consume. This is the circle of life that everything does. From the tiniest creatures to the biggest. Just because you feel it’s wrong doesn’t make it so. Don’t eat animals if you think it’s wrong but don’t tell others what to do. Cut her some slack.
They don’t know they will be killed it’s a good life
I’m so sorry for your sadness. Please contact an attorney to find out what your options are for someone stealing you footage and harassing you. They need to be stopped. Take care sweetie.
Sadly such activist groups tend to have deep pockets, expensive attorneys & the law often sides with them. By even reporting the content stolen she could be painting a target on herself for more harassment. I WISH TH-cam would ban the activists who obviously steal content, lie & spread hate!
@@roguewolf7053 totally agree
Did they take the whole video and re upload it with no different Context? Like the exact same video? Cause if they took bits n pieces then it normally falls under the "fair use" policy probably for educational purposes. I am not an activist FYI.
I dont think there's much that can be done about them taking the videos. Besides, i dont think that was her issue. Her issue is being narrated as this evil person. And watching that feels bad always. And sadly some may harass her after only watching their version of her videos. If that is the case, she can maybe hit them for defamation.
@@roguewolf7053 I am a follower of such animal rights activist and she is horrible. She spreads nothing but lies
There’s NO animal cruelty here. I simply can’t imagine someone thinking there is. You’re so loving and sweet.
There is a VAST difference between animal husbandry and cruelty . If they,the activists, were that passionate about saving animals they should be hunting down puppy farms,lab animals and working for the RSPCA . It is not in a farmers best interest to be bad to their animals , they wont thrive ,breed or sell ! .........this is NOT a farm to be concerned about .... away and bully the puppy killers or the dogfighting squads .....
Let's not forget the activists who are against killing invasive species, those really kill the local ecosystems. There are many many problems like food wasting, poachers, dumping pets, etc. There are way more productive ways for activists to help instead of harassing someone who is clearly caring towards her animals and their wellbeing.
I want to wholly agree but lab animals have their use(s).
We wouldn't have a lot of the drugs/treatments we have now if it wasn't for their sacrifice(s).
Thank you for what you do so well.
I am sorry those fanatics are harassing you.
Hang in there
Exactly!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have mentioned that on some of the vegan activist channels.
*I’m sick to death of the rampant bullying from SOME “activists.” Your animals have a good life and are cared for properly, ignore the haters and carry on!* 😘
While I deeply respect freedom of speech, I do think the bullying and disrespectful shtuff needs to freaking stop from all groups.
It does no one any good and just causes unnessary suffering.
I'm with you on that!!!!
Me too! They have their righteous tantrums, usually based on almost no factual information or experience. Please understand they are ignorant and confused and somehow they believe their option is gospel. We call them “crackpots” over here in Australia 🇦🇺
RIGHT ON!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@mbailey2774
We use that word crackpot here too, but it's kind of used for people who are nuts 🤪!
To be honest with you, those Losers DO NOT really care about the animals.
They care about control and intimidation. I’ve seen and heard it first hand.
Stay strong, my friend. God bless you.
Exactly
Agreed
Truth!
I totally agree J Thor! ABSOLUTELY!!! They are the same people who eat bacon cheeseburgers, braised lamb shanks, BBQ steaks etc etc!! They are Hipocrites!
Each to their own
DON'T LET THOSE PEOPLE BOTHER YOU OR MAKE YOU FEEL UPSET. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!!❤🐑🐑🐏🐑🐶
So what do you raise this sweet lambs for? Wool, milk,meat? We raise cattle but we sell them to others to feed them out. I feel like you are raising them very humanely...
THAT'S RIGHT!!! 👍🏻
We watch you because we love sheep!
My favorite expression," never argue with crazy. And ya can't fix mean and stupid. You can't even take it back! It's fur ever! 🐑
You are what is right with treating animals with dignity and respect. You are invested in their health and emotional well being. You name them. I know people who deal with just people with less regard for their well being. Some humans are just 🍑 🎩.
Whoever made this lady cry, let’s have a talk. She’s so sweet her animals don’t walk up to her for no reason you *#*{#*[!!!!!!!! She doesn’t just hand feed them, then want rubs.
Amen, Arieyana (love the name btw)! Here is a woman running a business by herself, missing her husband, on Valentine's Day, handling it like a pro, all by herself and doing a bang up job. To come in and attack her at this time, under the guise of "kindness" speaks volumes for how unkind that kind of thing is. But they don't see that. And they won't. You just have to learn to leave them be.
@@pooftiger.. well said girls
Aireyana. How utterly sad and disgusting that an innocent, trusting sheep or lamb would trust Sandi to be affectionate when all she's gonna do is betray them and have them brutality murdered unnecessarily. How pathetic.
@@deannapye9661 your moron is showing you might want to cover it up.
@@deannapye9661 Oh just leave, we don't need you here! Bunch of bs.
Hi Sandi , I am a vegan *gasp* but I can say that the way you love and care for your animals is beautiful . You have respect for them and give them a happy life ! Not all vegans are harsh to humans when they are so kind to animals!
But what happens to them later? And how does she do the tagging???
The tagging isn’t anymore painful than a baby getting a vaccination. It’s quick and heals quickly.
@@michellegravolin5186 What happens to all of us later, though?
@@michellegravolin5186 watch vlog 425, you can see her tag and dock the lamb, she does it with great care and affection, and it doesn’t bother the lamb at all.
@@michellegravolin5186 it is required by law to put tag on those animals. You obviously do not know how farm works. It is required.
At 19 years of age, my dad sacrificed his youth, to fight overseas. This selfless act guaranteed our freedom...in all things. This includes the freedom of choice. What we put on our plates falls into freedom of choice. I don’t eat meat but I support the freedom to choose. You raise your animals kindly and with compassion. I’d ignore the haters.
Well said!!!
Killing innocent animals to eat them, should be illegal just like eating cats and dogs in the US.
I am frankly amazed at the beautiful conditions your animals live in. You clearly respect them. Raising animals for food is so very difficult but you do it with concern, care and love. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs but they are not entitled to threaten and ridicule others through bullying.
Who treats or takes better care of a animal then her !! It's makes me sad to see her cry like this !!!!
I wish she could just realize what an amazing sheep farmer she is and ignore the hateful know it all's. Easier said than done, I know.
@flyhound97 Nooo... they mean petty spelling police, nit picky little pricks.
I know jack about farming. But I know she's a very good Shepard who takes wonderful care of all her animals.
All you spelling and grammar experts, have you never heard of a "typo"? Are you trying to prove you're so much better THAN everyone else? Why are you so filled with so much anger and hatred?
@drom techmarine Completely agree!!!
Sandi, used to work with animal rescue. There are two types. One genuinely love and care for animals. The others are narcissists and activists who use animals to hate on people. The animals don't really matter. It's all about their ego or their hate. You can never make them happy. Even if you did whatever they ask. It's about hating, not animals. They're miserable enough to be two people. Don't be the second person. You and your husband feed thousands. You sustain life. That's real. Their opinion is just their opinion and they don't hold the high ground, the right side or the moral imperative. They're just letting the misery out. March on and be you.
@Acer Acres I wish I could be blase, but I can only imagine, from past experience, the vile things these people said, the untrue things and the horrible names and wishes they throw out to try to "win". No one wins with that. Least of all the voiceless animals.
Many years ago I worked in animal welfare and rescue and we truly cared about animals and humans. But you are correct, some activists do not truly care about either. Sandi, she really is a caregiver and animal lover. We understand that these are not pets. But they really are very well cared for.
@@teresaf.gargano8088 Then let's say it together. Don't shop. Adopt!
Totally agree here. Worked in animal welfare industry and this dear lady is doing it all good. Keep up the good work
@@readpostcard I think that is precisely why they may not like her. She dispels the myth that all animals raised for food are mistreated and beaten, etc. and they can't handle that. Or have it. It ruins the propaganda. Oddly that is what attracted me to the page. It was so nice to see a different side. More akin to the actual 4-H type raising around us here.
I’m watching this 7 mos after this was posted...as a new subscriber...I think it’s still safe to say we all love the way you love these sheep. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ we all admire and support you!
I am new also. I believe you love your animals, and do what is best for them.
No......... We do NOT all admire Sandy. Sandy is in the business of killing 4 month old baby lambs, for profit. That is NOT admirable.
But, it is dispicable when it's not necessary. Most humans are brain dead since they don't or can't see the truth in front of their eyes.
People eat animals I'm sorry to say thats not going to change. As long as thats the case we need people like Sandy who respectfully care for these animals and ensure they are healthy and happy. I've worked for the SPCA and have seen farm animals that have been mistreated. Sandy shares these videos on you tube and tries to be as transparent about the process as possible. Go find someone who is actually mistreating their animals to pick on not someone who pushes for transparency within agriculture.
@@christygatto yes, people murder and eat the flesh, body parts of innocent animals. But.......some more everyday are enlightened,, not so far gone that they're critical thinkers. People who can see the truth. One of the truths is humans do not need to eat flesh to survive. Quite the opposite. To thrive, humans should avoid flesh (dead, decaying, decomposing corpses) . There are thousands of yummy, healthy vegetables,seeds, legumes,fruits,now we have plant dairy, cheeses, etc. etc,.where innocent animals don't have to loose their lives and humans can be so much healthier.
One day humans will be appalled at the thought that once alone a time, the human species consumed flesh when it wasn't necessary or healthy.
Absurd , disgusting and very sad.
@@deannapye9661 The flesh of vegetables and fruit is also dead, decaying and decomposing. Not sure why you think your choice if words is bothersome. You're more then a bit of a religious zealot, I'm sorry we can't have a civilized conversation about this as we are on 2 sides of a similar coin. A bit of a suggestion though, criticizing and using malicious words is not going to win anyone over to veganism. As a matter of fact it turns people off to the idea. Even among Vegetable farmers Vegan is a four letter word, because fellow farmers are so often attacked and even threatened. Focus on education skip the name calling and harsh reteric.
You’re a good farmer. These sheep are well cared for. There’s no reason to be upset by those who don’t understand. Have a great day Sandi. ❤️
I’m a vegetarian. Some of the procedures you do (because it’s the standard in Canada) are not legal where I live (for example tail docking). That said, I don’t see anything wrong with your farm. The sheep are well taken care of, you continue to improve your care, they get treatment if/when they are sick and they look so good! Meat farm will always be a thing and that okay, as long as they are run like yours is. They are not things to you, they are animals who are treated with the respect they deserve. You should feel really proud of what you’ve accomplished! 🐑
These breeds of sheep need their tails docked. I'm a bit iffy on banding and worry that it is painful, but method aside it would be cruel to leave them with their tails as death by fly strike is horrific. Not all sheep breeds need docking but most if not all used for commercial milk/wool/meat production need it.
Thank you for your thoughtful note to Sandi!
Semiramis Hamsteruppfödning ...Thank you for being fair and honest. Your proof there can be dialogue without blind hatred.
I too am a vegetarian and truely appreciate the care these sheep get from a very caring owner. I wouldn't eat them but I'd wear the wool.
Semiramis Hamsteruppfödning i Australia 🇦🇺 it’s necessary to tail dock the lamb tails as they would suffer from an infestation of flies and get what is called fly blown with live maggots living under their tails 🤮
Don't let them bother you, we've got your back! These extremists will take ANYTHING out of context to push their narrative and sadly some people don't do any research and just blindly follow what is being shown. They live to hate, and are extremely intolerant.
While some farmers are abusive to their animals, there are many more who take good care, and love their animals and do whatever that needs to be done to make them comfortable, healthy, and happy. You're one of those wonderful farmers!
Yep. Miss Sandi has two flocks. Only one are sheep.
Yep, these idiot extremists that blindly follow without doing any research of their own are ironically called 'SHEEPLE'. Isn't that a hoot or a BAAA. Cheers...
Amen ! Gods got this and you !
Most farmers take good care of their animals, it is how they make money.
It’s 2023 and I’m so glad you didn’t quit. I’m watching your older videos to fill in time while I wait for your new stuff. I don’t know how your videos come to me but I’ve been watching since. Keep it up
Hey, am watching this from Kenya...The first time i came into these site, i literally watched it overnight, I couldnt stop but wach clip after clip. Keep doing what you do, you are impacting the world...
Sandi, as of this writing, you have 131K subscribers. You've gotten 30K subscribers in 45 days. I'm a high school math teacher and have very little connection to raising sheep. But I'm utterly fascinated by your videos. They're REAL and they demonstrate something I feel is critical to anyone who does consume meat. If you eat meat, an animal has to die to provide it for you. What matters the most - to me - is that the animal is treated with dignity and care throughout its life. You give your animals a beautiful life, you value them as individuals. And yes, you send them off to be sold and likely consumed. As prey animals they are born with only one likely outcome - that they will be consumed. Few if any prey animals in the wild actually die of old age. At some point a carnivore will consume them. What you do is give them a beautiful safe place to be born, you give them a place to wean that is certainly more trouble than necessary but which is psychologically better for them. You know them and can see if and when there is a problem. It is the dignity and care they receive in life that matters, and you provide that for them. You've often mentioned that the bunk space determines the number of ewes you have, but I imagine that if you wished, you could cut down on their space and fit in another 150 ewes crammed into small spaces. Your caring concern is a gift that every ewe, ram, and lamb in your care receives without knowing any different. It is a truly priceless gift, and I'm pretty certain that your subscriber numbers continue to climb because you provide people with a viewpoint that no other person can provide as well as you do it. People will do what they wish, steal, lie, exaggerate, misrepresent. You can't control their actions, you can only control your own and be true to yourself. Your truth is beautiful, so thank you again for giving yourself to so many people.
Very kind words!
Very true words. Heck she's even named some them. 🐑
I totally agree with you. Sandi does a beautiful job raising and careing for her sheep. She truly cares about her sheep. She is a very careing person, and I admire the work she does. Sandi is a very special lady and I admire her and her work ethic very, very much.
Oh momma don't cry.. we all love you here...💙😥👍🙂
I am a vegan too and love those animal babies. I feel you are wonderful with the sheep, using kindness and humor. Love your lamb baby talk. They know you are kind and caring. Their purpose is their presence in the food chain. You truly treat them with respect and dignity. It is a business and you are successful. Nurture yourself, Sandi. Hugs
You're SO much better than the rest of us.
Girl I’m so proud of you for not quitting!!
I love your videos ❤️
If you give up they win. Bullying is wrong.
You are strong woman more than you know. Look inside you and see what we see. Your animals are lucky to have such caring humans looking after them.
Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Justin Rhodes said of his boars and steers, “ their lives are so happy. They only have two bad days, the day they are castrated and the day they go to Freezer Camp.” I couldn’t help but laugh!
And how true is it. He and the family love on and care for those animals so well. I can't see how Sandi is any different except she has a few hundred more sheep than him....
I hate watching a family or person that I feel like I have gotten to know after a few years, being attacked by a bunch of know it all do gooders!
I'm so glad that you quoted Justin. Farming isn't always easy or clean but good farming is done with the highest respect and care of the animals
Kathie Bogue ...The difference is Sandi is a true farmer/Shepherd. She is not afraid to use all resources at hand to save her sheep. She has helped me become a better shepherd and I have years of livestock experience.
yup and he treats his animals with total respect just like Sandi he never beats up or ill treats she loves them all ugly or not hugssssssssssss Sandi
If the slaughter house uses Temple Grandin's technology, they never even know when they are dispatched to freezer camp. Temple is all about minimizing stress. It makes the animals behave irrationally but more important, the stress hormones change the flavor of the meat.
Mark G I’ve heard about this system but your comment makes me want to really research it. Sounds intriguing!
They are idiots sandi. You do the best for your animals
Morning Sunset don't do it !! Don't let them do this to you !!!
buster smith what do you mean ??
An idiot is someone who says they love someone and have them murdered. And on top of that say they love their job. The job of purposely getting a sheep pregnant creating a baby and having it murdered. That is someone who is not compassionate, empathetic or aware. And you who agree with this behavior are also either brainwashed or cruel.
@@deannapye9661 They're not doing it for fun though. Meat and wool is a valid reason to farm animals. Also, these animals are fine. You're just projecting your own needs and feeling to the animals.
@@deannapye9661 this is a concept that is hard for non farmers to understand. Unfortunately people still want to eat and have clothes to wear until that day comes that we don't need or want those cattle will still be around. The best of a bad situation is have someone who will give them the best quality of life. Supporting sandi may not be the best in your eyes but i have seen much worse
Most activists are the worst type of human they don't care asmuch for animals as they say they do they just want to complain about great people who are nothing but perfect to the animals they care for God bless you and your family
An awful lot of activists know only some of the horrors of farm life. They know nothing about your day to day care of these animals. But people with a cause get the buzz feed 😜. And few facts. I am sorry they upset Ewe. But they lack knowledge and sensibility. With any luck, you'll never have to hear from them. 🤞
Oh my lord ive cried my eyes out over this.She is such a loving person to her animals so such horrible nasty comments are not needed at all bless her.Keep your spirits high precious lady you are loved by many 💖💖💖💖
Now that I know what those tears were for, WE, your virtual friends and family are here with broad shoulders to cry on (let it out and let it go), long arms to wrap around and support you in all that you do and are. So very thankful for the beautiful lady who knew you would need to feel some love that sent you that package. God's way of sending an angel when you need it most. It is always hard to take that kind of criticism but please let the positives outweigh the negatives.
Sandy; I have been seeing your u-tube vids for about a year. I have NEVER seen anyone as loving and caring for their animals as you are!!! Activists have blindly tunnel vision, and only care about themselves and their "Pharisee haughtiness" and you know where that got them! God bless you for what you do, and how you do it. All I see on your vids is love and respect for all creatures (including your family and friends) Peace be from me to you. jmd
I am so sorry you were attacked and felt violated. I cant even imagine how you feel. Sending positive thoughts your way.
99.9% of your viewers love you, your family and all that you do and teach and help us to understand about all the non-stop work you do 24/7! Trust in God and keep up the great work you do! Ignore that .1% of the jerks out there!
Don’t know how the heck I ended up here, I have no interest in farming but I am an animal lover. I live in a small country town in Australia. I Find your vlogs interesting, you seem so confident in what you are doing, your amazing! Love how you are with your sheep.
Omg.... I never clicked on something fast in my life! I'm so sorry Sandi, it's so sad that they done something like that. There is nothing negative about what you show us, if anything my 14 month old always looks forward to watching your videos. She says "baa" whenever she wants to watch one of your videos, whether it's a new one or one we've already seen. ❤❤❤❤ Sending much love from our family in N.C
It's not what Sandi shows on her videos. It's what she doesn't show. Take you and your baby to the slaughter house and hear the baby's baaaaaas for mercy as these 4 month old baby's are being strung upside down by their ankle, having their throat slit and suffocate on their own blood. This is not a Mary had a little lamb story book for your child. This is reality. This is insane.
Deanna Pye yes, this is the correct course of action. An activist should be attacking us meat eaters, not this woman.
Deanna Pye so serious question, how would you rather they be slaughtered? Is there a better way to go about this process that has not been communicated to the general public, who are not going to stop eating meat.
Julie Reis from what I have seen using electricity is the most efficient and fastest way to slaughter.
Deanna Pye you have been in almost every thread I’ve read. If you don’t agree with. What sandi is doing, don’t watch the videos.
On a previous video of yours, i made the comment how cute the lambs were running back and forth playing....one of your activists replied to my comment, saying what activists say and here was my reply...i hope it helps-
Well my friend i am certainly NOT naive- i am not a city boy and live on a farm and work on 10,000 head cattle feedlot...my original statement about the cuteness of the lambs running all together holds true- despite your attempts otherwise...nobody can argue it wasnt 'cute'- well you tried but your argument is twisted and flawed...
As far as whether they are outside or not, let me tell you a little eye-opening experience i had recently..i take care of my bosses 300 cows during calving time..last year i had to bottle feed 4 newborn calves- moms had died or not wanted them but they were under my care inside the calving barn in a small 10x12 pen...i loved these little calves and over the weeks watched them grow and get bigger, it was June and warm and i started to worry that they needed to get outside and 'enjoy the world'..so i devised this alley system so they could go out from their pen in the barn and into a large fenced off area with grass and a place to run around...the first time i let them out they were hesitant at first but sure enough they ran up and down this new area, running and bucking much the same as Sandi's sheep do in the video...i was proud of myself for meeting my expected needs of these little baby calves..they were out in this'play area' for maybe an hour that first day, smelling everything and checking everything out but soon they were right back inside the barn, back at home in their pen and 'home' that they had always known....i very soon became aware that these little calves felt more protected and safe INSIDE the barn, in a small pen than they did outside with a big area to roam..they spend 99% of their time inside the barn, inside their pen, where they felt safe and protected and where their water and food was.. it was a real eye-opener for me..i realized i was projecting my human needs on what i thought they would want wasnt really what they wanted....hmmmm
Now if your argument is about the humane treatment of animals i am all for that...i have been an animal lover and protector my entire life and sometimes on the feedlot things i see i get conflicted by but my boss and coworkers- like Sandi are good genuine people who care about the animals well being because it is their business..whether the Ewes have twins, quads or more doesnt necessarily effect the well being of the lambs...they are cared for and bottle fed and weaned and grow just as 'normal' as ones kept with the Ewe...
The bottom line to all this is there is a large human population to feed in this world- and our evolution has for whatever reason, required us to eat animals to further our own advancement and survival...keep in mind these lambs and Ewes wouldnt exist on this earth, and all the cattle i tend each day, would not even be on this earth without the need of humans craving for meat...so you have a choice of giving an animal spirit a chance on earth with a shortened life span, cramped spaces, but free from predators, all the food they need, medical attention and all care that is required OR the other option of not coming to earth at all..
That was right on! Thank you!
Find your big girl panties and stop blubbering. Work to be done.
That was very well said. Thank you. I hope it got through to them, but a person with strong beliefs rarely hear the other side.
@@CarisseH yes that is so true!..i am certain he was instrumental in Sandi's recent woes, but you are absolutely correct- a rational objective argument doesnt seem to work against a militant, obsessive person.
Great come back!
You are so wonderful with your babies. They don’t know you. We do. Don’t be sad. Ever.
Darling.... Your heart is what we watch here. We love the sheep and the lambs but WE ARE HERE FOR YOU. You are so gentle and caring and loving to your animals. Sandi please don't stress. Your amazing and we love you. 2/27/22 we are here for YOU 🥰✌️ one love
It’s funny how you call yourself a “whiner” because i think you are such a strong, powerful, enthusiastic and inspiring person. You always remind me to push myself to do the best i can. You amaze me sometimes:)
I am a vegetarian but I still enjoy watching your videos! I wouldn’t eat any of the sheep, but they seem to be well taken care of. They are not drowning in feces, being unnecessarily manhandled, suffering untreated illness, drinking nasty water, or growing so fast that they are disabled. People should spend their time attacking people who are truly disregarding animal welfare.
Cave nug I don’t understand the reply 🤔
Eli Case Thank you for your reply. Ignore the downers.
Sandi, everyone has good and bad...but you've opened my eyes to your heart and that's amazing. Your work with the sheep...lambs are educational and precious. There's always a sour apple, someone who has to hurt others just to get jollies. Keep pushing thru...💞
I want to thank you & Mark for doing these blogs you have saved my sanity! I was a farmer on a mixed stock & horticulture block but had to leave it all because of health problems. So here i am now at 68 a country girl stuck in a city townhouse and almost housebound, Finding your vlogs has been the best thing. Love the farm, love the way you do things, so good to see thanks again. I will probably watch all the back stories too now that i have found you.
Half of these people who are "activists" and do this kind of thing obviously have never had the experience of working on a farm or anything of the like and it shows. We never had sheep but we did have a small herd of cattle and various other things and it was a ton of blood sweat and tears. I can only IMAGINE it on a bigger scale. I love your channel and its obvious everyone else here does too so keep being the amazing person you are Sandi ❤
Lady Bone exactly because if they HAD experience they would know everything Sandi does is necessary and done with love.
You are not doing anything bad to your sheep. You so obviously adore them. Ik you already know this but it's good to be told and reminded of this. You center all your trips around them. You are amazing and treat your sheep like your children. They had no reason to use your clips
Yes she treats her sheep like her children, she sends them off to get there throats slit and then chopped up in to pieces....there's love for ya..!!!
Debbie Sharkey yes that’s right and they taste delicious 😋
@@CP-tq3hu what her children taste delicious....your sick....!!!!
Debbie Sharkey yes delicious 🤤because you and l both know we are talking about sheep not children
@@CP-tq3hu I've never eaten sheep or children, but there all the same thing when there slaughtered....just babies...
I’m a vegetarian and I love your channel. You can tell how much you care about your beautiful sheep.
I just started watching ur videos and this is the first time ive seen a woman farmer! I think youre so smart and hard working and kind.
That's amazing! It never occurred to me that people may not have ever seen a woman farmer, as I grew up with a family of mostly female dairy farmers right down the road. Took it for granted I guess! It's good that more people will see Sandy and know women can and do farm. I know this video and your comment is old but just happened by and thought I'd leave a few supportive comments ;)
@@Groundedsquirrel ty for ur note god bless u
Please don’t get confused. Animal “rights” activists don’t care about animals. They care about their FEELINGS about animals. As for the animals themselves, they want them to not exist. How can you care about something you don’t have experience with and have no interest in learning about?
Wow, I never thought about it like that. You definitely have a point! Animal activists really do care about their feelings about animals... not the animals. Sandi's sheep are well taken care of. We see it every video. Sure, I'd like to see them get some sunshine pasture time once in awhile, but being inside all the time definitely protects them from the coyotes. Sheep are like candy to predators. That is definitely a risk letting them out on pasture.
i catch your drift and it really makes sense because bullying is inexcusable even if one hides behind activism
I fully agree with u, like there are activists that believe milking a cow is stealing the milk from a calf when that is not even true, farmers make sure they get the milk they need and get their colostrum for as long as they need.
And yes there are bad farmers but what they have proven is that they clearly can't see the difference, they don't know how to tell a good farmer and a bad farmer apart, and turned themself into as good as an unreliable source. And no one whit that little knowledge should judge farmers, I bet they don't even look on if what they read is new or old news considering farmers have evolved and new rules have followed up in the years.
Humans are omnivores true we can live on only plants or meat but only for a while, sooner or later ppl eating only meat will need the proteins from plants to stay healthy, and the same for ppl only eating plants they will need the proteins from meat. But if ppl don't want to eat meat at all and ignore those points so be it it's their body, so all up to them, but they should not force there believes on others, ppl are free to eat the food they want.
I'm also kind of wondering if they have been considered the probability for the need for farmland increase for a full-on plant diet for everyone world vide since that would also include deforesting and chasing wild animals away from there land that again can lead to the extinction of some animal species if they have even been thinking that far.
All in all, I fell insulted that those Activists call her a bad farmer when she is clearly not... She takes good care of all her sheep.
@@shadownight5294 a modern dairy cow produces more milk than 8!! Calves could drink in a day! Do you have any idea how painful a full udder is? Kick some guy in the norgs and watch him walk! Now double that(seeing as a dairy cow has 4 quarters that are that painfully swollen, not just 2!)
When I wanted a milk cow for the house(we DO go through a lot of milk!) I deliberately went looking for our cow amongst discards 1st. Those who were headed for slaughter.. through no fault of their own, ours had had one teat stepped on and virtually severed by another cow's hoof, she was still young(only her 2nd lactation) and, frankly, she just begged for a home. We called her Dolly. Not because of her "assets", although she has that right too! But more her eyelashes and nature. She's just a doll in every way. And we never expected that particular quarter to function. We knew it would dry up and scar inside. So every other quarter would have to be monitored carefully as they'd all be prone to mastitis until that scarring sealed the injured quarter. Well. The injured portion of the teat fell off, but the interior of the the quarter never sealed nor degraded, and we weren't able to find the milk duct to punch out a new exit...so every time she calves, she goes through the pain of that quarter filling up and then gradually drying up when it's not drained... we've tried everything. Even our vet acknowledges I've got the most sensitive fingers so when anesthetizing *for that test and SOMEone had to feel around for a drainage tube, I still couldn't find one to punch through to*, we had to give it up as a lost cause. The kindest thing was to freeze her entire udder and inject that quarter with some sort of caustic solution(I didn't ask) to burn away the milk producing cells(internally) so she wouldn't have to go through that cycle year after year. Being a mother myself, I could empathize only too well. So she got frozen, and I left, after assuring myself she WAS well frozen, there was NO WAY I was leaving that to chance!
My husband and I have this for you- If people cared for each other a fraction as much as you care for your sheep, the world would be a much better place. The baas from your video got my bottle lamb baaing 😁 time to heat a bottle.
❤❤❤
💙❤️💜🕯️🙏🌹 With everything, EVERYTHING, there is risk of pain or heartbreak. Going through a season of heartbreaks here as well. Thank you for blessing us with your transparency.
I love watching your posts! I’ve spent my life raising and training horses. Even though I never had sheep I love your videos because of your big, caring heart. Your animals are so well taken care of, don’t ever doubt that. The lambs are so cute....I wish I could work for you. 💕
DONT GIVE UP SANDY
YOU ARE A VERY STRONG WOMEN.
DONT LET THE LITTLE IDOTS BUG YOU.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWSOME. LOVE THEM
It is too bad that some people don't live in the real world. I have only been watching you for a short time and you treat your animals extremely well. Be proud and stand tall
So true!
I just started watching your videos , your farm is so clean and neat and your animals are so cared for my goodness you are so strong and good hearted , just let those people run off you like water off a ducks back and keep smiling 🙂
You actively love your sheep every day and present peace to so those who watch your life. Thank you so much. The ‘activist’ who work to hurt others don’t know what peace and love is. Stay strong and know your appreciative watchers outnumber the invasive ones. God bless.
I am a vegetarian and love your kindness, compassion and love for your animals in spite of my beliefs.
Me too. But I am not an animal activist. I think most vegans and vegetarians are not at all.
as an ex rancher not in it anymore we raised cattle when you get people who know nothing about raising animals you just have to wonder about them without you and others that do what you do. Thank you, you do a good job, you really care about your babies if you did not care you would not go out at all hours of the day to check on them when they are having the babies. I was the one to go out when it was calving time stuffing my nightgown in my pants and putting knee waders on my feet to check on the herd at two in the morning because every life means something. Good job, keep doing it will keep watching
I think anyone who watches your videos watches because your love for your animals is just infectious and amazing. You put your animals almost above yourself and if anyone watches for more than 5 minutes will see that.
We love you and your family. Thanks for all the love and care you show your flock. We love Billy!!!
“Activists” who belittle people and insult them to prove a point instead of using facts and providing actual evidence are just looking for things to whine about. We all know how much you love your animals and how well you care for them!💖
Salam..
I am from Algeria. .
Me and my daughters , are very happy to watch your vlogs.. we love you, we love your job, we love your sheep. You make us very happy, When we watch your vlog. Please don't cry. You must be strong.

@@jnielson3683 thanks a lot.
I always keep our farmers in my prayers! God Bless you for your calling to be an animal producer. It is a difficult job. HUGS and PRAYERS from Tennessee!
Linda from Idaho, USA
I just found you 2 hours ago & have been binge watching your videos ever since
I’m so sorry that jerk made you cry
Wish I was there to give you a hug
You are a great little lamb momma
Looking forward to all your video
No matter what ever happens
Always remember how amazing you are!!!
I'm from Idaho also! Love watching your videos! Keep your head up.
I don't know what drew me to your videos originally, but I started watching them and I'm completely hooked. Your barn is SPOTLESS, your sheep are super clean, the way you even just talk to them is so beautiful, they always come up to you when they see you (which means they love and trust you)....I could go on, but I never knew that a farm could be run in such a respectful, kind and loving manner. You are the best at what you do, everyone is happy, fed, warm, dry....you have really opened my eyes when it comes to farming. The activists are assholes. That's how much they care about animals, they don't even research the places they are trying to shut down! I mean, just look at your lambs jumping around and playing....they're so happy. Your stock is spectacular ♥️♥️♥️
I'm on my way to Canada to hug you.
I'm always so impressed with the wonderful care you give your sheep and lambs! You do good work, Sandy!
Hi Sandi, I am an Aussie and have seen some really awful treatment and handling of sheep and lambs here. One of the many things I am so amazed about watching your videos is that you have names for most of them, they so obviously love and trust youand how you love and deal with your girls and babies is how ALL animals should be treated, Your so dedicated and God knows and sees. love your vids thanks :) Lisa
Stay strong Sandi we are all behind you and your smile is what we all look for. Take a deep breath and move on. Last year i felt like giving up but the love of my dogs, sheep and wife kept me going. Never let the bastards grind you down. 😀😀😀
sheepdogman1 ....That’s right Sandi...these people pray on our emotions and have nothing but blame on their minds no matter the issue....We can’t give them “supply” and let them know they effect us...Stand strong with us...we have your back and love you and what you do....These negative people are nothing more than sad narcissists who use the cover of anonymity via TH-cam...They are COWARDS....nothing more
Hang in there Sandi, don’t let others try to intimidate you.
Miss Sandi Brock, congrats on Your Devotion and Hard Labor. Being a Woman doesn't mean that you can't do what You Do. If anything You should be Praised for the work that You do. Most wouldn't even attempt it but you Sandi Brock Rocked it on Your Own. Not All Men Want A Woman To Achieve What You Have. So Stay Strong And Keep Your Faith And Everything Will Be Alright. My Daddy would of loved having a quarter of your Lovely Lambs. God Bless You and Keep You Healthy and Safe Always. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🐑🐏🐑
I LOVE YOU Sandi!!!! I'll be praying for you!!! Stay strong 💪😘 Don't ever forget that ur LOVED by ur 100,000,000 followers (yes I'm sure they're that much hiding out there! ) and best and MORE important our GOD!!!!! 💓💓💓👍💗💗💕💕💕😊❤️❤️🤩🤩
It's interesting how we react to one moron, when there are thousands of folks are with you 100%. It's the same in my business. I guess it's human nature.. Ignore the haters and always remember your doing the right thing for your sheep!! Be well
Hey Sandi, just remember: You are beautiful, you are strong, and you are amazing. We all love and support you! 💗
I’ve been watching your videos for weeks now. I have been binge watching them all morning and seeing your heart break in this one hurt. I think you’re amazing and I love how you are also a teacher. My family has a dairy farm and unless you work a farm, no one will ever understand the life of a farmer. Thank you for all that you do.
My husband decided to take a nap, while he was napping he dreamed that he had your herd around him. Then he woke up and he still herd the sheep bellering and he found that it was your channel I was watching...
Some people were never taught 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'. Try not to let it get you down. Miserable people like making other people miserable
I’m so sorry I can’t believe activists targeted you!!! You are so loving and caring of your sheep! Remember you are not only caring of them when they are with you but also feeding people when they go from you!! I appreciate what you do and sorry that you felt targeted!!
Aw I broke my heart over ur loss of peanut I was hoping he was going to make it.
U tried so hard to save him.
I live the care u give ur animals. Obviously I know u breed for the meat market but I think we should all understand where our food comes from
Sandy im sending u huge hugs take care of yourself lots of love 😢
You love your animals so much, you seem more an activist for animal care than anyone! Walk strong lady!!!
Sandi some people are just bone heads but we will always be here for u no need to cry 😢😢😢
Your thumbnail scared the crap out of me, I love you so much I feel your pain, I cry your tears, it's hard to say don't let them get to you when you in the thick of it but your an amazing person and a damn good sheep farmer, keep loving it, keep pushing through and never quit. We just had a tragedy yesterday in the UK with the demonatizing of a celebrity and she took her own life, please please remember you control you life and your emotions, don't let trolling, bullying or Intimidation take over you, you are loved and apriciated, these activists don't act for the animal or their welfare they attack the people who care for them, demons will always seek out the light and try to dim it. Shine bright Sandi, as you always do and they can't touch you x
I know this is 2 years later, but I have to comment! This is the furthest thing from animal cruelty I’ve ever seen! You can see the genuine care and compassion you have for every single animal you have - the fact that anyone would paint you as anything but a wonderful bright and sweet human being is just ridiculous, you pay them no mind my lovely!!! ❤❤❤❤
Keep doing, what you're doing. Hang in there, we are rooting for you!
Copywrite claim the content. It's your footage they used and therefore you should get the compensation for the content. Fight!fight! Fight!
At best she could get the video removed as most such activist videos aren’t approved for ads. However doing so would then make here even more of a target for them. It’s a no win situation.😕🤷🏻♀️ And I think she knows that. It’s what makes the violation feel even worse...doing something about it will likely mean they come back at you 10x harder. And like she said...if it gets the attention of any of the large activists groups they have far more financial & legal resources to spend than she does. It’s an extremely unfair situation & there should be more limits placed on what such groups can do. Especially without extremely strong evidence! But then you have the even darker side of such groups...who have destroyed farmers’ barns, homes & even beaten or killed farmers & their families. Or just harassed & terrorized them often for years. THATS why she was so distressed & has made sure not to even mention such groups on her channel. Farmers fear such activist groups now days & its why several have been labeled domestic terrorist groups. 😕 Gov action should be taken against those who go far beyond trying to ensure animals have healthy, safe, happy lives.
I'm a bleeding heart animal lover who grew up on a farm. I love watching your videos, I see how much you love the sheep, people are stupid.
I’ve never seen anyone as kind and loving towards their animals as you are.
The little black one stick's out like a sore thumb 😂😂 they are all so cute
The lady that sent the lamb coffee mug is an angel.
And always remember that good things happen to good people usually when they need it the most. Stay strong sweet lady❣
Ignore those activist bullies. You’re a good sheep mama. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
My two daughters and I snuggle up on the couch together just to watch your videos!! We watch and learn, and just love everything about you and what you do. We giggle with awe at every baby we see, and laugh and every silly sheep that gets confused. To watch you help those babies and work so hard taking amazing care of them gives us so much joy! We know there are a lot of terrible people out there, but your strength in what you do gives those internet bullies no power. Keep smiling, we ewe-bsolutely love you!
We are a free people,that is why I'm proud to be an American! We have the right to do life the WAY it works for each one of us.Im not bringing the extreme craziness that extreme mindsets always want to factor in to the conversation!
God bless! Follow your heart and convictions
Hey Sandi I've never commented before but I feel like I need to add to the love. Anyone who watches your videos knows that you love and adore these sheep. You do the absolute best for them and those activist opinions don't matter. I and all your fans love you and all those sheep especially Billy lol. Keep going
Can't forget Popcorn or Billy Jr. lol
I would most certainly report them for stealing your footage, probably also harassment and cyber bullying. If people don't get told that what they are doing is wrong then they will never learn. Ugh, 'Activists' like this give the rest of us a bad name. Seriously, focus on the people who are actually harming animals, not the ones making sure they are safe, given medical care, and given a healthier diet then I eat myself.
You are a good farmer and a caring person. You most certainly follow the ideal of your animals only having one bad day.
Exactly.
Copyright violation if they stole your footage
Sandy, you are such a pleasure. You obviously love your sheep & It looks like they love you. You take such good care. I love watching you because I love sheep & don’t live in an area where I.could have. A lot of people have your back. Hang in there. 🐑 💕
‘One bad day’. But a totally unnecessary bad day.
Why do they need to be force weaned??? For your benefit or yours?
You are awesome. I admire your hard work, honesty, the excellent care you give your sheep. They are part of your heart. You can be so proud.
You treat your sheep like baby's, the love shows in every video. Don't let the haters bring you down. You and your family are amazing. God bless you all💜🙏💜🌸
Hi Sandy, I work for the FSS here in Scotland and part of my remit is to watch out for animal cruelty and to be honest I haven't seen a lot but what I have seen can be VERY X rated , but after watching your vids from no1 I am up to no 61, a real binge week, I have never seen you mis_ treat any animals , I was brought up on a farm as a boy , father was a stockman as you would call them or a cattler over here and I have stayed in the meat industry all my life , started in broilers when I was 14 in the catching squad and then into the abbatoir after that, thanks for the time that you take to put these vids together as I know how much time it takes to make them .You have brought pleasure to thousands of people , cheers
Omg some people are so horrible, you are so good to your animals and do a great job dont let anyone get to you!!!! I love watching your videos, your videos always bring me such great joy
Sandi is so kind that she literally has the animals that she says she loves, killed. Lambs only 4 to 5 months old. Baby's! Oh yeah, that sure sounds like love to me. NOT. You that believe that you can Love someone and kill it are either brainwashed or evil.
@@deannapye9661 It's a business, they're not her personal pets. She doesn't actually 'love' them. It's like seeing some strangers animals, you say you love them in a jokingly "aww you're really cute" way.
@@deannapye9661 She does have sheep she considers pets. She loves them dearly, and was distraught when she had to put one down for health reasons.
Deanna Pye another vegan extremist trying to force there personal ways on us....vegan extremists try using terms such as murder etc to force us to believe in you personal ways..well your evil ways don’t work with the majority of us...the way you word things if anything makes me laugh at you, you don’t help your cause in fact by trying to cause mental anguish by your use of hate filled words makes me actually disregard your cause...Deanna pye..if this is in fact your real name you are nothing more than a pathetic vegan extremist or mental terrorist.
@@deannapye9661 animals were put on this earth to be eaten get over it, I raise chickens I love them and hatch them as babys I give them good lives and when i get hungry i kill a chicken its nature its life you dont criticize a lion for killing a zebra. If you're a vegan good for you , I dont come at you a certain way so u shudnt do the same, yes her sheep will be eaten someday but the fact is she gives them great lifes and care where lots of people dont even do that.
I love watching ur vids. I am not a sheep hearder. But to see all the new life u bring into the world. And with that u are a gift.
Oh hunny I will always be there for you through thick and thin some people are just arses sorry you had to go through this we all love you and sheepies xxxx
these animal 'activists' have gone too far. I will be the first to stand up for animals being mistreated, abused or neglected. I will be the first one to argue against the mistreating of animals. but I will not ever make something out like its bad, or horrible, just for the sake of getting more people on 'my side'.
if an animal is getting mistreated, yeah, I'll fight in the animal's corner, and I'll defend my cause.
but like this, sheep farming, farming in general, I see nothing wrong *unless the animal is in pain or distress*
your sheep, Sandi, I can tell, are pretty happy sheep. and I'm pretty new around these parts. I saw your video about the lamb with the deformed legs, and how you tried to help her and tried to fix her legs. that screams someone who very clearly cares deeply about their animals.
this might not make a lotta sense, I'm very tired, and very frustrated at these people smh
you carry on doing you Sandi
Shadow MorningStar I have often said there is a large difference between activists and extremists! As a lifelong animal owner and lover, I have met many wonderful activists who work tirelessly to prevent cruelty in every form and to rescue those who are the victims. I have also found that the extremists seem much more interested in pushing their personal agendas and always being in “attack mode” if you do not share their particular feelings. I don’t wish to stereotype, but it appears that quite a few animal vigilantes are not screwed down too terribly tightly! Sandi is a loving, deeply understanding steward of her “livestock”! Worry about (for example) Dog Markets, Zoo conditions, Laboratory testing, etc.. And, try to ignore the lunatic fringe!
these groups are not that much in the animal's corner, there more after the financial gain then anything else, just like all the other groups on other subjects are, the more they can jump on the more funds roll in.. people that back these diferent groups are so miss lead and blinders on.. as they hand over there money..
i agree 100 with you're statement. if anyone is seeing abuse in this then wouldn't the well the known P.E.T.A have something to say about it, whoever this Activists is, should have done more researcher cause clearing they not doing it.
@John Samuels shhhh. don't insult the swines now.
Let’s not generalize please. I’m an animal rights believer. I’m working on being a vegan but it’s hard. I don’t eat meat but I would not push my belief on others. As a former teacher you reach more people through education than violence. I have the highest regard for Sandi Brock. I know other sentient beings don’t want to be eaten. So I don’t eat them. But her farm is how it should be for animals that are eaten with kindness and love for their wellbeing. When she had to put Ruthie to sleep, she was devastated and she didn’t film it. It was a private moment between them. Such respect. She’s an amazing women and if more women did animal farming the animals would be much better off. We aren’t all sociopaths.
Some people are never satisfied in life unless they are hurting others! Love your videos and don't worry about them! Keep doing your thing!
Your animals look well kept and happy so that is beautiful for the sheep. The Activist will never get ever one to stop eating lamb and the wool is a wonderful way to make organic garments not full of chemicals.
I love your soul and strength in running your farm and caring for your sheep.... Please ignore anything that bothers you as long as you do good things🌹
