- A few surprises this week!
Jack is BACK, along with three new lambs!!
Carissa and I weighed the entire group of market lambs and I have the most ready to ship I think I ever had at a target weight!
Mark and Jack are fixing some bearings on the feed cart augers, and Jess helped me load market lambs to ship.
Many of you have asked how the lamb market has been doing, so I talk about that also!
AND... I've been working on a little project. I'm pretty sure you're all going to laugh. But, here we go....

Laugh, laugh, are you kidding, I admire you. I'm alone and up in age, but I still plant a garden. Next you need to learn how to preserve your harvest. I find peace and comfort in my garden. Looking forward to seeing you in your garden. Prayers
Freckles and any other colored lambs are a spinners dream. I once had a sheep who had a fleece that was oatmeal colored. Spun up beautifully.
I have a "garden" for my Grandchildren it is about 10 feet square. We have potatoes, runner beans, peas, beetroot, spring onion, sweet peppers, garlic & rhubarb. We also have a herb garden. Luckily we planted it before lockdown & I show them photos every few days. Last year we had enough peas & potatoes to feed all 9 of us for 1 dinner....it was our first year.
Totally in love with the brown lambs as well the all black ones. Plus the oreo looking lambs. Soooo cute!
I totally understand jess. I have a senior this year as well. She will have a drive through graduation, no awards ceremony and prom is tentatively scheduled for end of July. Shes my baby of three so I'm sad too. We just keep reminding ourselves how thankful we are all healthy. Weird times and definitely different memories than we had planned.
Love the suggestion for "Billy" names. My main reason for commenting though was that beautiful little brown headed lamb. All I could think of is I love my cocoa that color!
My favorite thing is watching the little babies wagging their tails. Probably the cutest thing I’ve ever seen ❤️
I hope you retain that brown one for breeding purposes. (S)He's gorgeous!
She is so proud of her lambs, you can just tell ❤🌻
Laughing at you for planning a garden??
No Way! It shows you're movin' along with our times and have good common sense...please don't give up, but PERSIST!
Life will never be the same again...I'm thankful for the opportunity to become self sufficient! This is my third year of making the effort and each season I gain valuable knowledge!
Hooray for your effort!
I always grew a garden when I was younger. I was in a really, really dark place when I was in middle school and my dad was trying to find ways I could cope with it in a healthy way. We tried gardening and keeping chickens for eggs and pets and I found it to be really helpful for me. I moved out on my own two years ago and I’m starting my in ground garden this year. I had a container garden last year but it didn’t do well for me. I got some tomatoes and strawberries in the ground already and I can’t wait to put the rest of the veggies in!
Good for you...it will give you lots of pleasure just seeing things grow...
What an encouraging and enlightening story. Thank goodness your dad found an outlet for you to deal with your issues in a very positive way. 😊🤗
About that garden. You have sheep . That belly wool you usualy throw away. Its perfekt to put between the rows of garden nicetys. It prevents weeds and wont mold and is wery effektive to hold the moist in the grownd
If I were laughing at you (I’m not), I would be laughing at you thinking you have time for a garden on top of everything else you already do. I’m not laughing, I’m amazed and very happy to see you doing this.
@Sheepishly me- good for you on the garden attempt. I wish i had that much room! I only have 1/4 acre. We do tomatoes(3 types) , cukes, squash(3 types), beans(2 types), watermelons, lettuces(4 types), kale, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots onions and potatoes. Also Sunflowers and herbs. And perennials. PS, on the virus end of things, dont be afraid. I think this has been wayy overblown.
I literally came here to write this. I’m like when is she supposed to have time for a garden? Only person I’m laughing at is myself.
Love your garden. Also, love the grey hairs...don't hide them. You have earned every single one of them.
So many good names for the Billy's.
I'm so glad this channel was recommended to me ... I really enjoy watching
I am definitely not laughing about your garden...like you said if this whole mess has taught us anything we all need to find our own ways to be more self sufficient.
I totally agree. Even I'm growing a small garden for my family so we can still eat if lockdown gets worse. Thankfully we are still able to go out for essentials here in Australia
A garden!!!! Hurray! I will LOVE to watch it grow! Plant some giant sunflowers, too! Have you checked into companion planting? That works GREAT--and it's fun!
I love watching the videos it brings back to my childhood thank u
The lambs always make my day! There so cute. I actually have sheep my self, there very loving creatures.😊❤️
Your channel is great Sandi!❤️😁
Have a awesome day!!!
I have sheep as well would you like to watch my videos clever suki and Rachel have had all their wool cut off and Ewan shearing Samantha
There is Always Time for a Garden. The Very Best thing about the Hot Summer months. Homegrown Vegetable taste is Absolutely Amazing. 👍
Oh my gosh! I absolutely love Freckles (the brown spotted lamb).
Same!!!
That is a great name for it.
Sandi: watching your vlog, has given me more appreciation of the food that I eat, and the people behind the scenes that work so hard so that I can survive this thing. Your feelings that you expressed in the truck, are normal, know that most people, at one time or another have had the same feelings. I thank you for your hard work, and all the efforts you go through to continue supplying Ontario with food.
Stay safe,be well
Now "Falah Vlog" has posted 22 seconds of Sandi's lambs. Again, I think he is trying to get views.

Thats amazing your starting a garden! We have had one for a couplw of years now. Dont give up!! It can be frustrating at first but once you get the hang of it its super fun! Love your videos! Thank you for sharing with us!
I love your relationship with Jack! Being a mother myself who has an adult son who I adore … seeing Jack want to hang out with you (even if he’s getting paid 😊).. it’s still so sweet. ❤
I think it's wonderful that you're taking this opportunity and trying your hand at a garden for your family!! It's a wonderful thing to provide, and when you eat your own produce, which you worked for, it will be all that much better!! Awesome job to begin with!! I applaud you and your efforts to simply begin with, and with your experience as a farmer, you'll have a great harvest!!!
A huge haul of lambs, and they all look so big and healthy too!!! Soon to be done with this lambing group, and wait for the next!!! It'll be here before we know it! I just can't get enough of your sheep videos!!! Thanks again, and I'll always say this, but thanks again for your efforts in everything you do to provide us these amazing videos to share with us your life.
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
I find myself so happy when i watch your videos. Even though im at work, I still watch! #CorrectionsLife
Thank you Kaytlyn!!
@@SandiBrock you're more than welcome! I give you, AND Mark props for doing what you do!!
Gardens are so worth it. We ate out of it all winter, and more coming soon. 🍅, eggplant, cucumbers, zucinni, peppers, herbs and potato
Yay! So excited you’re going to be gardening as well, although I don’t know how you manage to fit in everything in a day already. You’re Wonder Woman!
Just hang in there. We need to count our blessings on a daily basis especially now. I am blessed that my family is still around me.
Sandi, this is my first garden. I brought a greenhouse to protect my crops form the elements and wildlife. I already have my organic worm casting from my compose worms. And soil to cultivate the garden space. Very excited to see how this pans out for me.
OMG! I freaking LOVE gardening! If you can, go with something similar to a no-dig garden - lots of compost, minimal tilling, wood chip paths that soak up excess water, and easy to pull weeds! And a hack that I'm still trying to learn is that short things that need shade can be grown under tall things that don't - quite the space saver!
I like Bruce as a name for one of the Billy's. Sheep farming is a massive thing here in NZ and Aussie, and Bruce is such a down under kinda name.
Your videos are awesome, why would we laugh at you, a garden is awesome and I know you can do it.Your videos are inspiring. I usually watch them two or three times.
That brown lamb though! Absolutely adorable! If it is a male you could name him Bear. 🤍
Baby lamb kisses to get you motivated!!! 6lbs of nothing but 💕
That was so sweet
The sheep are good girls cute sheep
Brave girl putting in such a big garden! Yes, use straw to mulch between rows instead of constantly tilling to keep down weeds. You know it is better for the soil health, plus the straw will keep the soil cooler in the heat of summer and hold more moisture in the soil.
I personally prefer shorter rows with more varieties in case one of them fails for some reason.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Watching your farm is a joy for me. Best wishes in all your endeavors!
Plant rows east and west , my dad said you'll always have a good garden afternoon sun shades the rows in heat of day
That is true. I've noticed that in my allotment as to which beds grow the best crops.
Also, don't know about where you are, but in Toronto the wind direction is important too.
This is our wind rose. I'm sure you can find one for your area.

SMT my Gma always did that too
Sandi please keep us posted on your garden I just started a big garden as well and would love to follow you progress. Thank you and love your videos ❤️
So funny that your son looks like his dad and your daughter looks like you
Man, those lambs took getting vaccinated so well, seemed like they were just thinking "huh, I just got a long hug, ok let me go abouts my ways..." and stroll off like nothing happened. Really awesome, seemed 100% stress free. Great job! That brown one is so adorable!
... you should keep it *cough cough*
😆
PewPewCat I agree she should keep the brown lamb
I think Jess has hers dads eyes and her mothers smile.
Hug
Why is it funny they look like their parent's? They're supposed to its called genetics.. Ya keep the brown one nice to see color spots mixed among all the white.
That little lamb sure is cute...
Thanks for keeping it real. Thats what keeps us watching.
I love that music sounds kind of like nursery music when you’re working with the lambs. The brown lambs are cute and look like calico cat patterns. Garden is an excellent idea.
Doing a garden is an awesome thing! Maybe some of your friends or other family that don’t have room to garden can help with it and everyone will get the benefits of it! 👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼❤️👍🏼
I think you have a great idea. Gardens are full of hope and that's what we all need. Happy harvest.
Love all the coloring on that lamb! It’s gotta be a keeper..... with the brown coloring face is super sweet! Glad your having good weather for the last four prego sheep! That’s awesome too try doing your own garden, wish I had a farm for big garden, I only do pot garden on my deck....
So very cute little lambie 😘 you showed us with the brown markings ! I think that's a great idea setting up a garden....You have the space and you have the help and can feed all your families and more ! With all that has transpired and continuing, it's a very wise and practical decision to do so.....👍 💞
Nothing better for a garden than sheep manure, my best years were when I put down sheep manure and tilled it in before planting. Good luck!
apes4life brilliant idea. Get the straw and manure into it.
Here in Australia it’s a market garden 😊 But, if you have the space, go for it!
I think it's great! I would do the straw between rows not only for weeds but also to help keep the moisture in the ground. Cuts down on watering a lot! Go big or go home! Your garden is huge! I'd love to have the ability to have one that big. Good luck!
Love that little brown lamb you held up. Hope it’s a girl. I’m getting my garden started soon, too. Still getting some low temperatures at night. Going to try potatoes in a bucket.
Always encourage people to garden! I love growing my own food. I fail alot to grow some things (watermelons). But am happy for the things i can grow. It helps with my mental health.
40+ yrs gardening, 25 years drip irrigation, now switching to flat tape buried with black plastic mulch. Why? No weeds, automated watering. Black plastic extends growing season and allows tomatoes and other summer veg to survive our cool nights and fruit. Flat irrigation tape is cheaper and lasts years longer than any drip system or soaker hose. Good Luck in the garden! Love your videos!
Get 3-6 chickens for eggs and make a mobile run/coup that you can shift daily. Plenty of designs on yt.
Swap a bit of lamb for a bit of beef and milk. A few fruit trees/vines/berries.
Everything will be alright, Sandy. I can feel it. Yes, some things will be permanently different once the main chaos is over, but most of that will be an improvement from before. Just know that we are all here supporting each other in the ways we are able to. :)
I love these more frequent vlogs! Gives me something to look forward to and get excited about during these crazy difficult times. Honestly, your vlogs are the only ones that I actively search for; I don't wait for the notification to pop up which is 3 or 4 minutes after the vlogs actually drops. I go to your channel and wait for the vlog to show up, which is pretty much immediately. I love you so much Sandi! I have shared your story about the difficulties during these times, with lower demand for lambs and lower prices, with my family and friends. They are all now praying for my "friend" Sandi, my favorite shepardess! And you know I pray for you every day. You are so loved my friend.
💙 Megan in North Carolina 💙
Yay for gardens! Yes, definitely mulch with straw. Will keep things more moist as well as keep the weeds down.
You’ll do great with the garden!!! Don’t stress about it. Lots of the plants you mentioned are really forgiving. Make a climbing trellis out of a cattle panel for your cucumbers.
We are in our late 60’’s and early 70’s. Told hubby we are going more canning this year. Didn’t do any last year because of health issues. This year we are doing great, do canning season here we come.
How about naming The Billy's: Billy Bob, Billy Ray, and Billy Joel. A little bit of fun paired with homage to their Dad.
I love those names you made up. Sandi should use them.
Billy's Mom should be Billy Jean
Billie Jean
Sounds cute
I like that it’s a bit of fun
Sandi once again great video !! Having a garden is great, growing your own vegies is the way to go right now with covid>19 but you are a busy lady and weeds in the garden stink, THANKS
🤞🏻👍🏻 With your garden. I had to replant some things, think it was 2 cold, couldn’t wait. Hope more comes up this go around.
Speak your truth Sandi! You CAN grow a garden! You know the science and have lots of support. I know you can do it!
I have the same worries about after quarantine. So, you're not alone. Just remember to take time for self care, even if it's just a 15 minute break. Sometimes those little breaks can make a world of difference.
I wish I had just a bit of ground so I could provide for myself,mom always had a vegie garden growing up I loved it. I am in a wheelchair and at the mercies of the government. I love what you are doing at your home, I know it's hard,, but what a blessing to have Family and land. Your such a strong lady, I am so proud of you ! I am in Ont too, lol so know the weather all too well, lol. Great job sweetheart!! Be blessed Hugs and Much Love to you and the Family.
I realize this is a year ago, but have you considered a raised bed of sorts? They can be made of wood, or I have also seen folks plant in half of a 44 gallon metal drum. If you put legs on them, you can easily tend to your plants from a wheel chair. No ground required except where to place your container, and a porch or patio will do just fine.
Won't be laughing at the "garden" - it's been since I was in college (30 years ago) that I've been able to grow veg successfully! Thanks for taking us along for the ride today!
Having a garden this size is awesome!! Research what goes well planted together, too. If you have surplus you can sell at local markets or from you front gate. You could even sell relishes and pickles. Good luck! 👍🏻 I look forward to seeing your progress.
She just wants her turn! Impatient girl! Take a bush hog to the stalks. Good luck with your garden. That brown lamb and the black ones are my favorite so far.
Freakin thrilled that you are gardening! Your kids need to see the process. Our school has a huge garden and kids are exposed to it through out the year. Worked into lesson plans. Mostly used in the lunchrooms for 5 schools. Is wonderful addition to the campus.
That Lamb shown at the Beginning of the Video is A-Dorable! 👍
I think it’s great lm sure a lot of us would have a garden if we had the room it is needed the way things are now good luck will be praying for you god bles
Sandi - With regard to growing things. We have a stepping stone in our "flower" garden that says, "I tried, it died." Yes, we have been stricken with black thumbs here at our house. It's ok. We have learned to plant things that can take a lot of abuse, and still come back each year. Good to hear the prices were good for your lamb sale. Blessings to you, Mark, and your family. Stay safe, and stay strong.
Good luck with your garden. It’s a lot of work, but it’s so worth it. There are a lot of us that share your worries and concerns about what’s going to happen when this whole virus thing is over. We will all have a new normal because things won’t be the same as they were. Seeing your videos helps to inspire me and makes me want to do more. Thank you for sharing.
Sandi, before watching this vlog, I watched the promotion you did for Britespan. You did great! So well spoken and you really explained the positives to the barn and your setup well!
I forgot to mention, there's one "Billy" ram lamb that I've always thought should be named Panda. Lol
A poultry farm near us in Michigan had an outbreak among the workers and they said that the farm has to stay open. They provide eggs to half the country. 34 cases of the virus so far spread out in three counties. Hope it doesn't turn out to be more.
Oh my god. That is dangerous to everyone. Better to go without eggs than have people die to produce them.
That's going to be a huge garden! Wow. Have fun with it! Put TONS of straw down and leave only just enough for the plants to pop through. That will really help keep the weeds down and will help keep moisture in the soil.
Planting a garden in blocks of each variety is actually the best way to guarantee proper pollination.
Many of farmers I have watched who are putting in gardens for themselves are going with raised beds instead of the old way. Thought to ponder!
OMG, that garden is huge! Overwhelming indeed! Wood chips between gàrden rows works well too.
Hi Sandi ~
That speckled lamb was sooo cute. I just about 15% of your energy and I could get everything done I have to do. Lol! True! The garden will be fine. It is a family garden, right? So, family helps. It’s easy-peesy! Okay, you’ve got this, dear lady. I see the affection, by the way. Don’t know how I missed it. Thanks, Sandi. God bless all. 😉😁
I wish, I had a place to plant a garden... If you have the land, that’s awesome... I love watching your videos and I have watched all of Mark’s videos as well... Those babies are getting so big they’re so adorably cute... Blessings to you and your family, Sandi... Sending y’all love from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good luck with the gardening. Not laughing, you’re being smart and taking control. 👍
Hi Jack and Jess ! I’m excited to watch your future gardening videos , I always want to comment all throughput your videos Sandi !
Your children ROCK!! Great Kids
That garden is H-Ewege!!!!!!
Are you planning on feeding your town with that?!?!? 😅😅😅
Garlic is one of the easiest things to grow and it tastes wonderful, ours grows well with our onions.
Sandi , regarding the garden , a slight suggestion , how about doing a challenge between Jack / Jess in the garden , maybe a reward at the end , the knowledge they will learn , pictures , u tube video , we can ask questions , watch , maybe a few laughs !! Very proud 👏 of this Family Rock & Roll , Jack / Jess , or should I say " prepare , plant, & harvest , stay safe , enjoy each day ! Bob
Straw between the rows works well. I also use it around my raspberry bushes so I dont have to weed much between the thorny stems. Can not wait to see your garden. Thank you for sharing all you do, it is an enjoyment.
Awww it looks like a big fluffy Smore😍
Totally!!!
I just love the spotty brown lamb! Just adorable!
Sandi, I'm proud of you for trying a garden. Especially one so large. It's a lot of work. One tip, we've started using a woven ground cover to prevent weeds and it has been a gamechanger. It is worth checking out. Also, I'd let Mark and the kids know that if they want to reap the benefits then they should be out there helping you. 😉 Good luck!
Beautiful lambs! I wish I had that much garden space. Mine is only 20x30 feet. But I can still feed three families out of it. No need for landscape fabric just surround each plant with pack from the barn. Fertilizer and mulch in one. Good luck Sandi.
Sandi I garden on small scale, very small scale. 13 large pots on my deck. Green beans, peas, carrots, kale, arugula, lettuces, beets, broccoli, swiss chard, herbs such as basil, mint, dill, cilantro, oregano, thyme, lavender. So honey if I can do it so can you. Besides that it cheaper than buying veggies from the store. I prepped every thing last weekend.
Glad to have another video to watch! Just the break I needed! :)
Yayy!!
A few pumpkins? Not laughing at you just me trying to get a better one on my patio again! Nice weight on those ship lambs. Blessings
You can really tell you love your children. I though you were going to cry talking about Jess's first semester and what she'd be missing. Good luck on your garden too. I know which ever direction you decide to plant it'll do great. I have always found shorter rows feel like less work.
You could call your sweetheart Billy... Puppy. You've already been calling him that!
And you need a bob. 😁❤️
Love Bob!!!
Everyone needs a Bob , Bosse or Ove. Good solid men names.
Sandi Brock what is it jess dosent about but you say they're good girls
@@SandiBrock Billy-Bob
@@stephenkennedy9322 Billy, Bob and Bubba.
That one lamb that is on the main picture of this video is so beautiful. Looks like he,she has freckles. I love that one.❤️
Put some of your sheep manure/compost on it and disk it in. It will realky make it pop. I use my goat manure on mine and it is outstanding. Also check your last frost date before you plant. Can't wait to see your garden growing.
Here in Ontario our last frost date is May 24!
I really hope you get a good price for your lambs Sandi. We have three big processing plants closed in the US due to Covid. I hope you don’t fun into the same problem in Canada. Your lambs are beautiful and I wish I could buy one for my freezer.😍😍😍😍😍. I also think it is important to understand that these animals really are humanely dispatched. That should give most people peace of mind.
It is a great idea to grow our own. When it comes to potato, tomato, squash and cucumber you can even cover around plants with straw to keep the weeds down.
Oh wow!! I wish I had that huge garden space!! I usually grow a big variety of veggies & can them every year. Glad the market price rebounded!!
I think its great you are growing your own food.God bless you and your family
