  • Carissa is really sick... which means I've picked up some chores.
    But, since lambing is DAYS away... I need to get some other jobs knocked off the list.
    Hoof trimming is one of them... and it seems like I'm doing this particular job A LOT. Which got me to wondering... just how many hooves DID I trim this year?
    And... finally getting to those weaning weights and learning a bit more on the Flockwatch system, and excited that the app is now available in North America!!

    I am so proud of Jess on the scholarship. She works so hard. I will also keep Carissa in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. My husband is down with the flu and it's bad so I understand the worry you have for Carissa. I love how Tomatoes doesn't miss a beat when eating grain with ice chunks in it. She is an amazingly cute goofball.

    Carissa, is a very key part to your operation! Others can always do the work but certain people can see things that others would miss. I worked milking dairy cattle for about five years. My boss once told me God made woman with certain instincts so she could pick up on the signs and symptoms often missed by men. Because we are meant to be mothers and our internal senses just work different when it comes to caring for others. Not to say men can't be good at it too. Carissa has those instinct and as the years have passed she has further developed them. Get well soon Carissa the mommas and babies need you!

      Happy American Thanksgiving, that is the Thursday I watched this video. It was a nice day in the Ohio Valley. The Turkey dinner was good. Everyone who came contributed to the dinner. The fellowship was great. Watching Sandi's video just completed the day for me. Yes, I have much to celebrate despite both the Canadian & USA governments insanity.
      The statements above cover what I would say regarding this video. I really like Clarissa, but feel badly she is sick. Sandi has not fully recovered from harvest. She needs a day (at least one day) of rest. I can see the tiredness in her eyes. But was wise of her to do only 25 sheep hoof trimming per day. Do hope Mark's finger is recovering.

As for Kensi, being a self trained boarder collie with no formal training from a professional is doing really good. At five years old she is brilliant and an absolute love to watch. Glad the Golden Girls are doing good outside in their shelter. Take care and stay well.

    I have watched Kensie go from knowing she was supposed to do something and not knowing how to pushing the sheep and then still loving kisses from her. I am not seeing her freak out and driving you nuts, to being a working dog and being proud of what she can do. I don't mind the push gate because I have watched the journey

    I love my squeeze chute from Lakeland! Their handling systems have made is possible for me to continue keeping up with my sheep even after hitting sixty and becoming fully disabled. I added hydraulics for rotation and pneumatics for squeezing (more sensitive and compressible) to the chute so that everything can be done from a wheelchair. The sheep don’t mind it at all…ish…. The gates are on pneumatic sensors and foot switches. I also turned all new pins and bearings on the roller to make it run smooth. My total investment to upgrade it was about one thousand U$

    I was shepherd to 300-350 sheep in the 80's. They were always outside though, until they lambed when they got a stall for around 10 days.
    Let me tell you, I am gob stopped at how together you got your operation. Truly stupendous - happy healthy sheep mean profits and ease of mind. Your doing it right. If only there was a decent price for wool in the 80's. N.Z. and Aussie wool dropped the price so far down it was not worth it anymore. I learned I had to keep a sharp eye on those sheep for anything out of the ordinary- a limp, or any sign of ill health meant something for me to check into.
    Just a suggestion since I had same problem with my back as you do, when I did sheep. I found out if I stretch my hamstrings twice a day, my back stopped pulling and hurting. I had no idea my leg muscles were pulling on my hip and pelvis. Within a week, I had the hams stretch out and back got alleviated. It even worked, when my back hurt. Just put my leg in a 2 x 4 about 4 feet up, locked my knee joint and stretched it out. Google hamstring stretch. Cheers

    Carissa, take care of yourself honey and I'll be keeping you in my prayers.
    Sandi is truly amazing indeed, but she will definitely be needing you in a matter of days and we the viewers don't want either one of you overextending OR overexherting yourselves.
    Here in the USA we will be celebrating our Thanksgiving holiday, and all of you are definitely one of the many blessings I am truly thankful for. 💕🦃

    I hope Carissa gets better soon! I am very proud of Jess; what an amazing young lady you have raised. And……I wish people would quit saying such negative things about what you do. When they have taken care of as many animals as you, they can critique you. (But they won’t because they will realize how hard it is to do this work!) .You do an amazing job!

    Keeping y'all in my prayers...it's been a hard health year for everyone. Believe me, I feel the calendar (I'm 77 now, lol) Gotta say tho...I remember when you first got those clippers...what a difference for your poor hands!

    Jess did a beautiful acceptance speech, recognizing the community. Get well wishes to Carissa, she is an amazing young woman. I am glad you took it easy on the hoof trimming, if your back is acting up when the lambs start arriving, you could injure yourself further when pulling. Keep yourself well, Sandi, the flu this year is a nasty one.

    Oh Carissa, I hope you get better soon! Stay home & stay in bed girl, my granddaughter has had it for a month here in Northern California. Everyone in my town has it including newborns☹️ RSV and Influenza (tested). Sandy, I've been seeing Flock Watch adds on your videos with Cammie & today w/o Cammie in the USA for the APP! Congratulations Jessica on your Scholarship! You are such an awesome girl!💕

    Only 8 days until lambing!! Jeez where has this yr gone?.!. Well done to Jess..bet you are both sooo proud of her..she and Jack are mirror images of you and mark..!! Great parenting.. yes its great to watch Kinsey with the sheep..she adores her job..even when you don't need her she runs up and down waiting for you to give her the word to come and help mom out..love to watch her..5400 hooves..mu goodness thats back breaking work on its own..the cold weather won't help your back..try a hot water bottle on it when you are sat down relaxing of an evening..it should un-knot those muscles.. I have back spasms and osteoarthritis and sciatica so I understand completely how you feel.. lambing and vlogmass is the BEST time of yr.. the GG'S look so snug in the back of the barn..i bet they're quite toasty with their wooly coats too.. will you be shearing the ewe's before lambing or were they the batch done last time?.. look forward to your next vlog..getting all your lambing kit ready to roll...🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🐏🐑❄⛄⛷🇨🇦

    Sweet woman, we are all feeling our age. I can still pick up 50 pounds at 61, but have a difficult time picking up a heavy cup. It's a challenge growing older, but we adapt. You are remarkable!!!

    Sandy you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen with all the stuff you do and all the animals you take care of and the things you do around your farm you are beautiful never say you're not, I think your hair looks very nice under a hat with it hanging down. Also you are one of the most genuine people on the internet you will come out with things to people to help them learn what you're doing and understand what you're doing where other people do not for that I appreciate you very much. We had sheep when I was a child but we never did the things that you do we might have trimmed their feet once a year and then they land once a year but that was it. We were not a big sheep operation. I can remember having to go and bring in the sheep though so at night because they would go to the neighbors woods and they would crawl into the fence and go way back into the woods and eat the sticks and the leaves and all the good stuff and I would have to go back there and get them and I hated it, I was always so afraid something was going to get me and then when we got a sheep dog I wasn't so much afraid anymore until the people came and claimed their sheepdog broke my heart, but the dog kept running away and coming back so they told us to keep it finally. I love that dog she saved me from many boogers man's. So never think you're not beautiful because you are.....

    So sorry to hear that Carissa isn’t feeling well. I hope she feels better real soon because she is so integral to your operation. I also hope you stay health - take you vitamins😊. A great accomplishment for Jess. Your children are such hard workers and very dedicated, What a proud Mama moment.
    With the new flock watch does it have a place you can mark whether it is a single, twin etc? That’s so important when considering whether to keep for breeding.
    Stay warm and healthy.

    A trick to do to is to put a ball on top of the water so when it freezes again it will freeze around that and there will always be a hole for them to drink out of

    It sounded like the first sheep getting hooves trimmed growled. Congrats with the scholarship. Every little bit helps. Further education-past high school- is horrible expensive. I will say-I love how you always talk so sweetly to your sheep.

    Sandi I am a diehard city woman but having discovered your videos I am positively addicted. From one type S driven (ambitious) to another I feel like a sloth when I see how much you accomplish in a day. You are a wonderful role model for young women everywhere, challenging yourself and having enough hubris to laugh at our mistakes (although I call them learning opportunities).
    Wishing you continued success, good health, joy and randy rams in 2023

    I'm really glad you purchased the power Hoof trimmers. As we age we need more accommodations. I'm 70 and truly am in awe of all you do.
