- We finally got some rain.
Unfortunately, my barn also got some rain.
After a full morning of dealing with our fair share of water already flooding the sheep barn!
As they say...
When it rains, it pours.
Love you all!

This is a small silly thing but, watching your dog's tail wag so happily on fast forward is one of the happiest cutest moments of any day
I thought the very same thing!!! So cute!!❤
There is just a sense of peace and calm when the animals are content. You are a super shepherd.
The sheep asked me to thank you for all your hard work.
For sure.. She has very clean Barn and loves 💘her babys
Your sheep are very lucky to have a human who loves and cares for them like you do! And trust me animals are very smart. They know it and show it. Bless your heart and your animals always!
Love that Kinsey. She stays right with you through thick and thin.
I am so sorry for the extra work and stress Mother Nature delivered to you. I know sometimes you must feel like punching the wind and pulling your hair, but I hope you also know what a great blessing you are to sooo many. You have such a genuinely beautiful face and smile, and it’s plain for all to see that it’s generated from within. You really are such an amazing, remarkable person! Know that you’re greatly appreciated and lifted up in our prayers each and everyday!
Love you Sandi - thankful you are all safe! The perspective from up high is the perfect reminder of the value of your hard work!
“I’m going to kinda let Mother Nature dry it up a bit”
Famous last words
RIght?!!!
lol
Lucky you did the really dry canola the day before! I imagine it would've been everywhere with the wind!
So glad to hear you guys are safe. A tornado 15 mins away could have easily been a very dangerous time.
I am from Bangalore, India, I will appreciate your dedication and courage in handling this type of unexpected situation .I glad to learn that all animals are safe.
Sridhar
Storms are so unpredictable. I'm so glad you guys are ok. Bummer you had to clean the barn out from the water flood. And having to do it multiple times is never fun. Thanks for your videos. I love watching them.
Thanks Bobbie!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many people would have went back to bed! You are an inspiration!! Your work ethic is amazing! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Sandi. I sit here watching you work so hard, with guilty feelings of helplessness to lend you a hand. I get it when you are reflecting on the joy and happiness of your flock, good for the soul. Better days ahead for sure. Good luck!
I can so relate to the consequences of walking past a job you can see needs doing! Always comes back to bite me too haha. Glad there wasn’t too much damage from the storm.
Heck Sandi, you are such a trooper! I'm so sorry the elements were against you but congratulations on keeping your sheep safe and comfortable! My heart goes out to you and I wish I had your strength.
You have every right and more to be proud. All of those Mummy's are alive and all of those little ones are thriving because of you.
They all love and trust you.
I think that says a lot...
Sandi, I’ve been watching your channel for some time now. I really enjoy all aspects of your families operation. Days like you showed us here, where you don’t know if the weather will damage or destroy your sheep, crops or efforts are blood pressure raising even on video. Thank you for once again being mindful enough to include us in THE EVENT, even while it is happening.
Paisano's Roost Farm in Southern New Mexico: I feel for you. It's the monsoon season here. We can get a dust devil on top of us, Virga (rain that doesn't hit the ground), a little rain with dust (dirtballs on vehicles), pouring rain with localized flooding and arroyo flood warnings. Last night, storms in Truth or Consequences had flash flooding and the gate on Elephant Butte dam was closed. I have to keep a watch on the weather radar hourly so we don't get surprised. It takes about 10 minutes to get our farmhouse locked down for storms. 🌩🌪☂
Life is all about perspective. Change your perspective and you can change your life!!
Just thought I would offer some friendly farmer to farmer advice. We have quite a few of the same waterers that you use and we put our plugs in from the inside of the waterer. It keeps the animals from being able to pull them out.
As I have said before YOU ARE AMAZING!! You seem so cool thru everything that comes your way. Your sheep and family are lucky to have you. Bless you.
I, at an older age, have been very fortunate to have found people like you and get to share your passion. There are several others I follow that also very passionate about their lives. In your case watching the lamb olympics should make everyone feel wonderful. Thank you!
There is always something.! Just when you think you are on top it Mother Nature smiles and sends something else to keep one busy. your backing skills are impressive! Glad you are safe.
What a wild day, Sandi! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! :) SO glad you are all safe!
Sandi, I was stressing waiting and watching for the curtains to lower. The wind was intense blowing the rain inside. You kept your cool and persevered. You did GREAT 👍👍
Thanks Cynthia! My stomach was in knots!
A couple weeks ago we had a storm like that...the rain was going vertical and the wind was strong enough to shake our house. Our bedroom window started leaking. I live in Moore, Oklahoma so I unfortunately have personal experience with monster tornadoes...lived through two EF-5s.
When I saw the inside of your barn I’m like noooooo, not again 😭
LOL! Thats exactly what I said too!
I agree with Duane Antor. The sheep are so thankful for you cleaning their barn and just loving and caring for them. And thank you for sharing your life with us. We know it’s extra work for you but we really enjoy your videos !
That was so intense.....so happy you and your family are safe and you beautiful lambs and sheep are happy....thanks for another awesome video....and thanks for letting us come along on your journey 🐑🐑💖
You are an amazing woman! You take on adversity and challenges with gusto and a great sense of humor. I truly admire the work ethic of you and your family.
We got that storm as well. I live about 2 and a half hours away and it was crazy here. Also look at that pen cleaning skills
Oh my stars! Nothing more to do but roll up your sleeves and dig in! At least *knock on wood* harvest is going well. Little Holstein can really jump! Good luck this week, looks like much needed rain.🐑🌾💖
It really was needed!
The sheep just wanted a water bed :) Seriously though, glad you guys came through the storm all right -- that sky was green and that usually means a funnel cloud isn't far behind.
Shalom.Thanks for sharing this video..Strom and flood..May the Lord give you wisdom and strength for the hard season..Peace and protection will cover your areas....farm and people around you..GOD BLESS
What a trooper you are! I'm completely overwhelmed with how much work now needs to be done. You... are my hero!
I am really glad everyone , all the sheep are ok
Glad that tornado didn't hit your farm. Sorry you had all that extra work.
So close! Destroyed some grain bins about 15 minutes south of us!
@@SandiBrock so glad you are all safe
What a Gong show!! You're right though..the view from the top is best. You did great keeping up!
It could have been so much worse!! Such an awesome family! Love you guys💕
I was working at a greenhouse when this storm hit us. Nothing scarier than a tornado warning while in a glass building. The greenhouse didn't have time to close the roof in time so we got waterfalls in the greenhouse :O
I'm just happy you all are ok!!!!! That tornado was a little too close to all of you!!! I hope Belinda's place is ok too. Take care. Be safe. Good luck with the rest of harvest!!! 😍😍
She’s good too! Went right in between our farms!
@@SandiBrock So thankful she's ok too!!!
Ahh sideways rain, a classic. I was worried the canapy was going to tare again- glad it turned our alright
I always worry now!
Oh my goodness. I could relate to so many parts of your day. Water flooding the barn and clean out. Ugh. No need for you to pay a fitness center to get exercise!!😉
@@SandiBrock what did you mean when you said you got a million dollar rain last weekend? I've never heard that expression before so I was curious what it meant.
Sandi, you are a woman of many talents!! Your work ethic is unwavering, your dedication and perseverance are next to none. Your hard work gives me motivation to get things done. All the best from Texas.
You pour Girl, the rains are coming and pouring in. Hard working lady. God be with you honey.
It was a wicked blast of a storm. Half our maple tree came down on our fence. Luckily we had no damage. I'm glad we aren't the only family that goes for after storm tours haha
We always do too!
I know in the BC people did that to see if everyone was OK or if someone needed help.
OMG, Sandi. I felt so bad for you, having to deal with all that water and wind. You did an amazing job through it all. God Bless and stay safe. The world has gone nuts lately.
So REAL today. That is what I like. You are the hardest working lady I have ever seen.
You need like an ally drain. Also, I seen where this guy modified old tires to attach to the front of a little tractor and squeegee his cow barn for his milk farm. It was pretty cool.
I love how much fun Kinsey looks like she’s having 😂
Thanks for all the info on your life as a lady farmer! Sorry for your emergency water problems. Hope the rest of your week goes better!!
Thanks Jennifer!
You are so dedicated to your babies. It is a wonderful thing to see. You are a very special person
well, this was an exciting vlog ! What a stress-filled day !! Glad it all turned out ok
I love when she says “to much tractor time” as she goes on a tractor in the next clip of the video
Maybe need some floor drains, that can be covered when mucking out paddocks.
I think you're right!
@@SandiBrock could you just ad them around the water bowls? And perhaps on the side by the side curtains. So you can collect the water from your 2 most prone water sources..
What about cutting into the floor so the water runs outside and doesn’t pool in the barn in case it ever gets clogged again. Like a back up. Would that work. Thanks. Keep up the good work. I like and support what you’re doing. It gets more people involved with farming
@@gonzalezaaronm
I was thinking that might help too. I don't know how thick her floor is, but even a couple strip of double lines cut the width of of the cutting blade and about an inch deep would be helpful.
Sorry you had such a rough day. I watch your channel every day. You work so hard! Just know, you are one amazing lady! God bless you and your family! 🐑🐏 💚
Your animals are lucky to have you. You just hunker down and do the work..... sounds simple, but there is so much said in that little sentence. You do what needs to done. Every day, even on Sundays. You don’t take days off if your animals need you. They always come first. That’s the way it should be but it’s more and more rare these days. I’m sure around the water bowls Ruby and Goat are leading the conversations about how lucky they are to have you. How much they appreciate you and how much they love you. Great job. Thank you for being that rare gem that puts their animals first!!
Super glad no one died. Didn't cost much to clean up. I know you appreciate the nice setup and great equipment you have. Just another day of farming.
Glad you didn't get hit with the tornado...keep up the great work. Love watching the videos.
Sandi, thank you so much for bringing us along. I felt what you felt and wished I could help. You are an awesome shepherdess and they are lucky to have you. OH...and remember that you were going to be feeding the sheep later in the day anyways for daytime lambing! You asked us to remind you...so I will be every other video... Hugs from Halifax
I'm so glad that the problem wasn't the roof--you just repaired it! And Kenzie must sleep really well--she's always in motion!
Kenzie looks like she had a blast, but probably smelled awful after playing in the manure water all day
@@mallorymyers7525 LOL
OH my word Sandi you are strong woman . You amaze me all the time with your ability to pull yourself up and get done what needs to be done. ..and you keep on smiling WOW😱😱😱😱
YOU WORK SO HARD,I DONT KNOW HOW YOU DO THIS ALL BY YOURSELF,,,,,,,,,,,AND DO SUCH A GOOD JOB. GOD BLESS YOU.
You sure do a great job! Sheep are happy and content because of your hard work and dedication. PORT PERRY ONTARIO CANADA
Thanks Lis! I've got some friends in that area!
Your an inspiration to being a strong person no matter what’s thrown at you! You have a great family and family values.
Thanks Peggi!
OMG 😳 Sandi, I really feel for you... I wanted to cry for you....And that rain sounded so good 🥰 I love when it rains like that... That rain will do the garden a lot of good... You are amazing! Sending y’all blessings and love from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
That’s true! We needed the rain!!!
Sandi, love to see you smile even when things don't go as planned. Because as we know we can't change it and complaining doesn't fix it.
I have said before you and your family are the best.
Tornadoes are scary, been there a couple of times when visiting Florida.
Stay safe hope for a great harvest. 🌾🌾🐑🐑
You said " I'll let mother nature dry this up a bit." Mother nature " gotta rinse that off first." lol. Poor Sandi, so much for /sunday being a day to rest!
Never ask what else can go wrong because Murphy will give you the answer. If I ever catch that Murphy character I bet a line will form behind me while I beat the stuffing out of him! At least you have emergency plans to put into action. Good work!
Lol! You sound like us in regards to Murphy!!!
@@SandiBrock does mark want me to reserve a spot for him in that line?
Wow, that storm was brutal!!! And so close to a tornado! So glad you're all safe, and the sheep are happy. At least the floors are squeaky clean, lol!!
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!! 💗💗
Omg! More flooding ? NO! You just did this! Was I the only one thinking of floor drains , maybe with a pump, an industrial vacuum that sucks up water, a new water drinking system, and if this curtains could have just gone up faster? Omg! I was saying Oh No through most of this video! I’m so glad that the tornado missed you guys- that would have been too much! And Sandi you find your happy place 40 feet up on top of a silo? That would have killed me, lol. To each his own. I hope you had a good cup of coffee after that one. So glad everyone is ok and now we know for sure who has the cleanest sheep barn around! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🐑🐑🐑💦⛈🌧🌪
Oh Sandi, bless your heart.😢 I’m so sorry. But so grateful that there wasn’t a tornado that tore up anything. Hope the crops are ok. Tomorrow will be a better day.🥰
Its a managment problem. Love it!
That storm - wow! Since the feed cart is narrow enough to go down the side alleys maybe something with a squeegee blade could be rigged to it, removable, of course.
And that was you're "day off" 😂
I woke up this morning to the same problem with an automatic waterer. We took the horses auto-tanks off our well (iron & sediment issues) and hooked up to rural water (expensive) a couple of years ago. I had a racoon that loved stealing the plug and turning the lot and our back yard into a lake for him and his buddies. My husband finally configured things and put a stop to the plug thief. For over a year it's held up. That is until this morning and it's well below freezing so instead of a lake, the raccoon (aka BUG-an orphan that I raised & released, but never left) made an ice rink. He's darn lucky that I still love him. We'll see what he thinks of the hot pepper wax tonight. Urg.
Sandi they make a pan cake alarm system , talk to an electrician , it may be hooked to your phone or computer when water hits it , it sends a message alarm , they do make them for a house hold area , under the sink , by hot water heater also , only an idea ! Stay safe ! Bob
Farmers worst night mare is a fire in the barn; second worst is a flood. Maybe the very worst case scenario is a wind that takes the entire roof off. Always something!!!!!!
I know I'm no where near as invested in your sheep barn but I find myself cringing about your roof flying off again 😣 . You Have Big Storm and I'm so stressed for you 😔 !
Same here!!
@@SandiBrock I hope it helps you to know I regularly pray for you and Belinda 🥰❤️🥰 !
On a good note those lambs are growing fast. Holstein is huge !
Wow, BUT, the hay, and food is still dry. Always like on the bright side of life, da, da da, da . So sorry for you today.
Oh man!! This is when I want to be your neighbor and roll up my sleeves and come help out!! If only I could come through the screen I would be there! You got it done, though! 💪You are strong of body and soul! Love your "perspective" at the end!! Bless your heart! xo
I just cut my front yard and trimmed bushes/Weeds in 92 degrees and I am SOAKED in sweat and feel Like I'm gonna pass out!! I AM DEF OUT OF SHAPE! You on the other hand are a beast at getting it done and inspire me evryday! I used to work on a landscape crew in my 20s.. and think to myself now at 37. How the hell did I do it!
Yes Sandi, you do get a HELLUVA lot done! I'm happy you found your spot in the barn to appreciate that on occaision :)
Also heard while watching: "But that truck isn't an indoors truck!" ...Realizing just how big that barn is.
On the plus side: The next clean up will be just a smidgen quicker!
Also, Lookin' COOL MOMMA!
Poor Sandi....it’s always just when you think you are getting on top of the work.
You bet! Oh well... we got ir done!
Sandi Brock is popcorn in the flock
@@shepherdewan I think that she is on the far side away from the flooding...so she is quite safe😁
ChristophersMum would you like to watch my videos
Thanks for another video Sandy God bless you glad your family safe and your farm
Thanks Jonathon!
You are my wonder women!! I can't believe all you do with no help. Keep smiling!!!
Loved the video. Sorry about u having to clean up the stuff 4 times. It's never easy when you did it once. Love the view from the top looking down. Love the cloud's.
Got that rain here. Watching and knowing it was coming was like a absolute horror show. So glad everything was okay.
The Animals seem Content and are Chilling on a Sunday which would be Nice if Everyone could do.
I’ve been sitting on TH-cam waiting for this video today. Just watched Jess’s vlog. I love your family!
Does Jess have her own channel 😲 ?
She does! Here is a link!
th-cam.com/channels/Vq3xZv5fEAUSKdg0HHciew.html
Thanks Bellamy!
Just Subbed and smashed the Bell 🥳 !!!!@@SandiBrock
@@SandiBrock Thank you Sandi...subbed and hit the bell
I was holding my breath when it started storming and the rain was blowing in. Thankful the tornado didn't hit your farm
When we flood we use an 8x4 sheet of plywood to push large amounts of water before using a squeegee to finish off. It might help in that aisle. So pleased you are still smiling!!!
You live and you learn, just learn to trust your gut when the brain alerts you OF A SOON CATASTROPHE. Days like these I know there are people wishing they could jump through the screen and help push water out. Only plus thing was not a lot of pack so that was easy to clean.
Oh Kinsey! LOL Looking at the water: Mom, this is NOT supposed to be here.... 😂
Impressive to see you gather everything up on the bobcat! You've done a very neat clean job! The water in there was alot... you make you're job look easy by speeding up making you work faster! I know it's nothing like that. I used to have horses and they are hard work. Today at work I got to use the floor buffer in the primary school where I work! And if I had videoed when I had my training with it I'd get nothing but laughs and giggles.... The faces I pulled trying to concentrate and control the thing was hilarious 😂🤣 gotta say after that my supervisor loves me for it! 🤣🤣 Have a nice day 🤗❤️💕
Thanks so much!
I agree with comments about yr dog. He's adorable and works so hard
Those storm clouds looked menacing...glad you guys were ok.
At least you didn't have to shovel by hand. Thank God for technology. I do admire farm people though. The work is so hard and physical, and it never takes a holiday.
You are a super woman, you always have a ready smile when I was crying for you. I pray God blesses you big
Only GOD give you the power to keep ALL together. Praying for you Sandy
Damn Girl, you are killer with that bobcat!
I grew up in Niagara Fall, NY and I’m now living in Southern California. I miss the rain and rainstorms (not that I wish that extra work on you, Sandi). Living inSoCal we get rain, if we’re lucky “usually” between November and March with an odd rain occasionally, rarely, at other times in early spring or late fall. You are phenomenal in your work ethic, your attitude, your stamina! I’ve learned to appreciate even more farmers - both of livestock, chickens and fruits/vegetables. It’s so easy to take for granted when all we need to do is go to the grocery store to get what we need. It’s a real education seeing just a part of what goes into getting these things to the consumer. Thank you as always for sharing this with us and educating us!
