HAY IN A DAY!!!
Today was a great day of getting our hay chopped, and bagged for sheep feed!
The weather cooperated, the machinery worked (well, all but Ethan's AC), and we filled a bag of feed in about 3.5 hours!
Second Cut Hay 2020 is a wrap!

The high pitched sound of the harvester is a comforting sound to me because my husband would be working late at night bringing in silage and I often fell asleep to this sound. He died at 56yrs old and I miss him.
I'm sorry for your loss 🤗
I’m sorry Donna ♥️♥️
I'm so sorry for your loss Donna 😢
Thank you so much Chantal4107,Kate Sims and Laurel Flint for taking the time to leave a reply. My husband was taking silage out of the silo when he had a sudden heart attack. It’s been 5 years now but you will always miss someone you were married to for over 34 years. Life goes on no matter if you want it to or not. Take care 👍
I'm glad you find comfort in this sound. He died too young. I'm so sorry its not fair! 🙏
We run a large Angus farm here in the states. Its nice to see what other farmers deal with. I have to say our family watches your channel regularly. My daughter really enjoys it. She is wanting her own sheep now!!!! Thanks for posting theres a 8 year old that wants to be like you!!!
My dad had 2K acres In Lake City and 600 head of registered black Angus out in providence.
The tractors looked like a dance with everyone in sync
When I see you and your family working around large rotating equipment, and engaging PTO while standing in front of tractor tires, I’m reminded of just how dangerous farm work is. Be safe!
It is so good for non farmers to see and appreciate the hard work and danger farmers face. And they are totally at the mercy of the weather!
Yes... I would really like to see PTO guards in use everywhere farmers work within a yard of one. It's far less critical for something like the mower where no one is nearby while it's spinning. But with the haylege bagging, they are standing right next to it. All it takes is one stumble or distraction...
One of my favorite things to rewatch is how well you guys work as a team. My second favorite thing is I have discovered that if we rewatch your episodes, they are monetized!! I've been watching tons of older episodes just to help bring in funds, and this is my favorite TH-cam show. I could rewatch some of these over and over ❤
Impressive coordination of a farming family operation. 10:15 I don’t think I heard a word spoken. Jess, Mark and Sandi... TEAM BROCK rocks!
Mum and baby were both upside down 🤣
Haha!! Very good point! 🤣
What a beautifully choreographed dance of humongous farm equipment!
Sandi, just wanted you to know how much your videos mean to me, especially now. My 91 year old father was in a terrible accident and as I sit in his icu room, watching him breathe, i also watch you. Brings me comfort and love your smile. Thank you
Edit- I keep hoping he will wake up and say "what the hell is all the ba sounds "
Boa Gaming praying all is well
When I had covid two months ago in the uk I lived for these videos..
Thank you everyone for your prayers, means so much 🙏
Another Life Saved because you’re more Hands On at your Farm than anyone else. 👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤷♀️
Thank you for the wonderful content Sandi! You’re hard work it’s appreciated! ❤️😘
thank you!!!
Your husband is laughing! I've seen a smile here and there, but don't remember a full blown laugh! I love how your family works together. Growing up we helped with planting and harvesting our family plots, as well as canning and freezing our harvest. You guys have a multi-million dollar farm operation. We only had a tiny bit in comparison, still it was so much fun and rewarding. I would be in heaven driving and operating your big equipment. Jealous in a good way! The sheep are the best.
Total team work , a family that works together can & will make it happen ! Congratulations everyone ! Bob
Had an idea for your plastic (a small one) to repurpose. My Dad has been gardening this way since the late 70’s.
Where you want to garden, lay down plastic (black side up) on the ground and wait about 3 weeks to kill the weeds. You can till the soil, but it’s not necessary.
When ready, make X-shaped holes in plastic and tuck points under the sides to create a spot for the plant. You can use baby plants or start from seed.
The plastic will keep the weeds killed (maybe one or two around the plant) and moisture under the plastic and to the soil.
This is called black plastic gardening and it works so well without having to put in so much work. You can google this. I gave a speech on this in college and got an A!
You said, "send Help"! When you were pulling the lamb out.
Okay!! Who do I call?
Ghostbusters??
The league of the shepherd's
Nice looking haylage
Thanks sandi honestly your videos brighten my days so much and to especially one of my very best friends she was more like family passed away yesterday in the worst way possible with no warning or why 💔 my heart is broken so thank you so this 20 mins of joy I know you have an idea of how that is yourself thinking of you to love from Ireland Seamus x
Ps glad your hat curse is over x
So sorry for your loss. 💞
Mel, Michigan, USA 💞
Mel Wallace thank you so much x
I'm so sorry for your loss...
Boy I was scared for you and that ewe. Glad it all came out good. Funny how the mind works because I thought I could smell that hay you were working with lol.
i love how the merger works it dont beat the hell out the plant and knock all the leaves off. also love them quick connects man im jealous
Oh, my heart stopped when I saw that cast ewe.
Those machines make haying oh so much better ! No piling bales in the back of a truck on a hot sticky day ! Nice system ! ....and Sandi....you do NOT need to loose 10 lbs....if you did...you'd completely disappear !
I envy that extendable conveyor on the bagger. We had a classic concrete stave silo and a Gehl blower (probably the FB87 model) and two of our forage wagons were Papec who loved augers for the front with no extension so you had to get right next to the blower. We had one Gehl wagon with rubber conveyor and you had to remember to park that further away. The short auger feed of the blower meant plugging was possible of a large slug went in - our wagons had only two beater bars and my father loved to pile them as high as physically possible.
A very relaxing video... much appreciated Sandi!!! not all videos need to be of the sheep, because this is a vital part of sheep farming too!! Seeing this backbone of sheep farming is so soothing to watch.
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
Do-si-do, haying is like watching a dance! Love your videos, lambing or haying or gardening or anything, just love you!
I've got about 10 channels that I subscribe too but yours is one of the few I rarely miss! Too much fun! Fun following you around the farm no matter what you and your family are doing. Usually watch you on my TV - bigger screen - so you are truly BIGGER than life on most visits you share with us. :-) Saw you on RealAg with Shaun Haney. Enjoyed hearing the back story of your social media empire development! Everything I see from you tells me you would be terrific at direct marketing your lambs to consumers! That would enable you to put a bottom under your marketing price and improve your bottom line. After the Gong Show in the grocery stores with Covid, people will be much more interested too. If your garden venture rewards you well, adding produce to a box of meat would be an easy sell for both! Think about it. (In your spare time, of course!) Ha!
Your channel is always exciting! I think I learn something new every time. You have huge amount of love for your sheep! Your channel is always my favorite!!! Thank you Sandi for all you show us!!
I love the way you show the tractor side of operations and explain stuff I haven't seen in the states... ok, maybe it is done now but I have stayed home except for groceries 5 mos now so ....
Cheryl Carlson
Yes - five months for me too here in Florida, only going to groceries store or Walmart. Cabin fever big time! We don't usually get that in Florida!
Nothing feels better to live stock farmers than sheds/bags/silos full of grain, hay and silage. Put the contractors in the budget for 2021.
The talent you have for lambing & helping out , total remarkable , thank you , stay safe ! Bob
I love your videos so much!! Your lambing videos are always so entertained!
Thanks so much!
Sandi Brock I love your videos
Love seeing how you all work those trackers/wagons .. so effortlessly! Learned a bit more today..thanks... hugs
Thank you, thank you, thank you....it brought me back to our family farm and putting up hay with my brother. I always got to drive the tractor which I miss my JD so much! Praying for rain for you.
goodness me that was a quick start to your day with those ewe's - you hadn't even got your hair up yet - good day of silage and. hiring in the machine sure make a difference in how easy of a day you are all having it make making silage a pleasure
When it says "viewer discretion advised" I always yell "YES". Having 2 children myself and seeing the little ones born with the mothers in relief is just so satisfying. Yes that seems weird 🤷♀️ but it really is relaxing 😅
Haylage looks beautifully rich and green
I’m so glad that hay is going well for you! Thank you for explaining how you make haylage! I’ve always wondered, so thank you! Try and stay hydrated! Much love from Kristin in Oklahoma 💗💗💗
So glad it was a successful day!! I so appreciate how you all work together as a family ❤️
At the end of July I'm getting the ten dorset sheep. There in high demand. Awesome video.
BTW, anchor down plastic with dirt or clods of dirt around the perimeter and dirt here and there between plants, keeps soil underneath from getting air and drying out or plastic from blowing away.😊
7:14 Lamb is confused but, it's got the spirit.
50/50 chance to locate meal...lol
12:05 "Sandi is filming, Jess is on one tractor, Mark is keeping watch. So who is driving the other tractor? I wonder if Jack came home to help out." 13:30 "Oh hi Jack!!"
I actually miss doing hay this year at my Aunt and Uncles farm. My kids have a blast being able to ride the tractors and being able to bring some to the goats and sheep to feed them. They just laugh and giggle when they tickle their hands while licking it up
"She's on top of me! Send Help!" That was hilarious. Well done! I was a bit worried! That was for sure funny :)
Good morning Sandi, WOW that is a lot done in short time. We need the rain really badly. Dry as all get out. We got 2nd cut done some in bales some in ag bags, but much smaller then yours. Uncle moved alot of it yesterday into the feed storage area. 'casted' mama is always a scary heart pounder. Not good before breakfast that for double darn sure. We moved all the ewes and kept lambs into shader pastures. Too blasted hot for them. That means one of us has go check in them a couple times a day. Water troughs / tanks may need topping off with cold water. Also have to watch them for heat stress.
wow lots of hard work in that awful heat wave we had!
Gosh, I just love your vids and personality!!! My only suggestion (for today, lol) is that I hope you start taking better care of your skin...you are way too beautiful to grow old with sun shriveled and cancerous skin my dear!!!! Please wear sunscreen, hats, etc. I'm 64 and am having MORE skin cancer surgery on Wed. We live on a farm (cotton, corn) in central California and a beach house CA that I stay at most of the time now so I'm exposed to lots of sun...I didn't worry bout it in my 40's but now it's not fun...so please protect your skin...you truly are a gorgeous woman, inside and out!
My retired Aunts & Uncles spent more Time/$$ at dermatologists for themselves than all their teens for acne/pimples. Wishing you the best!
@@CurrentChoices So sweet of you...I'm good and only hope to educate younger people about the dangers of sun exposure if it is not part of your DNA...
@9:38 so cool to see Canadian farm girls working it!! Hello 👋 from a new fan from Nashville Tennessee USA 🇺🇸- I’m hooked and been binging!
Hard work but rewarding making first rate food for the sheep.
I'm not a farmer but I thank you for including me on how things work & are created. I Love you're 🐑 they make me laugh, they make me cry. You are a special person to be able to get out there and bring such beautiful creatures into the world. Ethan is cute 😍 is he hitched? I've never seen him b4. My husband passed away 3 yrs ago, I'm Ok out here just living life. Bless your heart and keep up the good work 😘
Hi again SANDI
What a way to start your day! A bit too much excitement but surely can get your blood moving I imagine! Relieved you're ok after being squished by that ewe. Timing is everything and you found her just at the right time...
Looks like it was a nice productive hay day. All looks beautiful! Thx as always for all you do to share here! Catcha again next time...
Love every opportunity to see you smile!! Have a wonderful day!
I used to work in Occupational Medicine - I applaud your use of hearing protection ❤️ I don’t see enough of that in my area.
I have been watching all your old posts. I love lambing but I must say I love harvesting hay.
Wow, now I know why Mark hasn’t had time to post recently! Lol. It was so sweet the way the tractor can hook up to the wagon, saves a lot of time! Will you ID the contents on just the one row you split between two kinds of grains or in the dead of winter will you just remember? I’d never be able to. You guys work so hard it’s amazing! I hope it works out for that one lamb, and I hope you get your rain. We sure are. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🐑🐑🚜🚜🌾🌾
Curious about something, why don't you use a hay rake to put your rows together? I think you're friends with Meredith Bernard, (seems like she mentioned you), she uses a rake that I think puts 3 rows of cutting into 1 windrow. That would save time and fuel it seems to me. Until watching your channel, I had never heard of a merger like you used.
Your oat hay did pretty well in my opinion. Gotta keep the ewes fed and the lambs growing.
Another good and interesting video. Keep them coming. 👍
Rakes have a tendency to move stones into the swath the merger picks up the row and not the stones. Stones and harvesters don't like each other
What a great video, Sandi! Loved the lambing footage, and can't wait to see how the possibly stolen lamb is doing! Great work by all on the haying!!!
How do you mark the stolen lamb in the Gallagher system? Do you mark the one you suspect gave birth to it as the dam?
Ooh... good question!
Hi sandy i love your video and i hope you never stop making them!!!
thanks so much!
@sandybrock your wellcome
@@SandiBrock I have to agree with scribble offical, please do not ever stop making videos!!! Love all that you do! Just so you know, each and every video you post is very much appreciated for the content, your time, the ups, as well as the downs, you show in every video....if there are any downs in the posted video, the education you provide in each video, and the editing time and process it takes for each video you post. Thank you will never be enough for what you put into each video, but it is what I have. Thank you, Sandi. 💞💞💞💞
Watching you do hay looks like a well organized ballet going on.😎
Of all the farming videos I watch, yours is the only one where females are out running the tractors and performing so much physical labor. Farmer P is possibly trying to teach his daughters but otherwise it's only you. I love that about your family. If you lost another 10 pounds you'd be a stick.
Exactly! When she said "Couldn't we all?" (lose 10 pounds) I thought, "Not you!!" :)
I was wondering how people filled those white rolls of stuff. Amazing 😁
Everyday is a GOOD day when hay is complete!!
Stickey is good ! Means there is a lot of sugar 👍
Sandy can You show how to protect hay in this split open bag... What will You do to safe that? Always I see those well packed life stock food i wonder how much damage can some rainwater make. I send You lots of love with some rainy clouds from Poland (clauds don't like to listen but I will try anyway) Started to rain in early june and can't stop.
love the new view of you in the cab watching the other tractor pick up the buggy thank you!
First thing we saw when we pulled up to our Bed and Breakfast farm visit in New Zealand was a haystack size pile of dead lambs. I so much prefer your indoor system. They seem so content. I only wish I was wasn't 78 and could do as you do. I have always loved hard work. Take care, no more broken bones .
My heart started too, right with you, kiddo.
Now that's CLEAN! The way all hay should be done...
Well a moment of relaxation for you two. I am sure running a farm a easy day for you is like the hardest day for someone like me who has never lived anywhere but a city. 👍👍🥰🥰
I really love your videos so much and your videos help me a lot when it comes to my sheep, especially lambing since I just started doing sheep almost 3 years ago. Thank You :)
You do an excellent job filling your silage bags. When I filled a bag I would slightly apply the hand brake on the tractor operating the bagger. This help to put some pressure on the bag and resulted in nice straight uniform bags.
Awesome video...thanks for bringing us along! HUGS
I used to work for a farmer and we had a Claas 880, i ran it a few times but mostly packed and ran catch buggy. We did custom work too and there were some long days but we never had a merger, that looks like a sweet machine. Nice to hear that it all went smoothly, good job everyone !
Loved watching it all......just amazing...
That linkage system is sweet.
Love what you do. Thanks for all your hard work for us to view this.
That was a little bit scary when the ewu sat on you, you are so tiny, i was like on no ! Please don't get hurt! But you handled yourself awesomely!!! That was a big lamb ! And i enjoyed watching the hay being processed ! Kinda soothing!😊👍💕💕💕
The trouble is mature ewes are heavily. The worst problem is the ewe and Sandi were in the mummy and baby pen with no room to move and get purchase.
Great video! awesome footage 🧡👍
Gotta keep that A/C rad clean on the harvester. And if the Blower and spout is gumming up run some water on the windrows with a tote
I had never really thought about a sheep getting cast. In my "industry" (horses) , a cast horse is very scary - and heavy to move!
first thought poor mama seconde thought poor sandi
I love ❤️ all your videos new or old ones but UTUBE asked me to comment on this video and I gave it a smiley face and warming and calming and important 💜 💗 💖 😊 💕
Great production. Impressive to the ending...! Sauna n all else..! Thank you..!
you one hell of a sheep farmer nice crop of hay and oats nice merger
Loved the typed narration for baling. Good vlog.
I can almost smell the hay through the screen. Aahhh...
Hello Sandi. Love watching your channel. Have to smile at the fact you have done second cut. I’m from Edmonton and we have had sooo much rain that there is standing water in the fields and no way to get the first cut hay done ☹️ Would love to see the sun for more than 1 day. Keep up the great work.
Wow you've hit 1 million thats fantastic Sandi congradulation ❤🎉🎉🎉
Glad the babies were fine..... looks like a nice day for hay! Interesting on how you filled those bags, too bad he doesn’t have a mini fan to cool down in the non working air conditioning tractors......
Love what’s the Hay Ballet! 💖😁
So nice to see a good hay day! Hoping the 2 mommas and babies are good too. Take care and be safe.💕
Farming ballet at it’s finest!
What do you do with a blown bag? Do you add a layer of plastic? Or do you scoop out, and fold it over?
Great job honey. God Bless.
That’s the first time I’ve seen a ewe upside down she needed you to help roll her over right? Poor girl how the hell did she get that way?good to see how happy you are with the hay
There’s a video in her collection of her unfortunately suddenly losing a ewe to this particular type of event- it was my first introduction to such a concept and it blew my mind!
Wow, great footage. Have a wonderful and Blessed day.
I love seeing how you do your haylage in a bag because we do it in silos we do some corn silage in a bag
You guys never stop!! Amazing!
How do you keep the bagged forage from going bad once you open it? I feed my small herd of goats bagged forage (like smaller bags from the feed store), and it goes bad within a couple of weeks of opening if I don't use it all. Just curious how you do it on such a large scale.
Great video Sandi
Busch Light always makes working outside better! Lol
