  • As we near our little reprieve in lambing... the deliveries are getting a bit more challenging.
    Today, I decided to check on a mama who just didn't look right. Sure enough, two lambs decided to enter the world at the same time.
    That doesn't work so well for a sheep.
    Also starting to see the effects of our older stock, and perhaps maybe even Maedi Visna as more and more ewes are not producing enough milk to service their lambs.

    My grams is 93. Her family raised sheep & chickens. Farmed land. She has dementia now. She remembers a lot from her childhood. As soon as grams hears the bleet of a lamb she perks up. GRAMS ANXIETY GOES AWAY, HER POSTURE RELAXES & SHE SMILES & LAUGHS... YOU CAN'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF A GIFT THIS IS FOR ME... We can still connect for a few moments. THANK YOU SO MUCH... THESE ARE MY LAST MOMENTS WITH HER...

      @Deirdre Corey, your comment made me cry. I lost my mother to cancer which took her from me a piece at a time. I have no idea what you are going thru, but I am praying for you sweet lady. Parents are so precious. God bless you and your dearest mother and all of your family. I wish you peace and may you find joy in the little things with you momma. God be with you now and always. From a stranger from the UK who knows what it feels like to lose her mother. I am with you in spirit.

      Lamb cam! Excellent. Even the boring snoozing of lambs grounds a reluctant city dweller. Manipulation with over-the-top music and canned "laughter" are, IMHO, are heinous. I wanna drive a tractor. Plant stuff. Walk outside in working hours and feel the sun on my face. I even like hearing the loud birds. Thank you for sharing the good, bad, family, tears, cheers, life, and hope.

    2. Show us the tree ornaments with the info you know about the very special ones. Your faves, tiniest, one from farthest away, etc.

I for one would still be watching the videos even if it was 30 minutes of recorded sheep noises once a week, (with the dogs ofcourse 😉) no matter what, people follow kindness, we will always support the channel. I have lots of family scattered through Ontario and I'm in FL, USA. I miss my Canada home, these videos remind me personally of my family and working on their farms.

    That was so adorable where Sandi was dodging the stealer mom and then telling her to "Go have your own" sounding just like an old Jewish mom. I also loved where the one ewe was struggling on her first baby and the ewe in the pen behind her seemed to be gently pawing the air in an encouraging way. Almost like she was quietly cheering her on. So sweet. As far as what to show if there is a break in lambing, how about a short follow up of some of the harder birthed lambs, like the twins in this vlog that were trying to be born together. Or like a follow up on Una the first born premie lamb of the season. (edited for spelling)

To kind of see how the day goes when you're not busy being a midwife. I'm also curious about the preemie lambs and the test results. Assuming you haven't spoken to Rex yet? I'm also curious how you keep groups separated come breed time with the ewe lambs to prevent inbreeding. You explained once about your 4 groups, but I'd be curious to know more details about that.

    I want to see lambs even if they aren’t having babies! I miss you so much when you’re gone. Your videos complete me!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Sandi, you can show me hours of those precious little lambs hopping and frolicking! Love your channel. I grew up in New Orleans where farming was not part of my upbringing. I enjoy you and Mark, the dogs and your lovely flock. Carissa too!

    Who does your artwork for your channel? Because they do a marvelous job and need recognition. The cartoons always make me smile, along with all the lambs. You are a true Shepherd.

    Please don’t take a break! Show us everything! I loved seeing your mom even if she wasn’t very happy about it. She is beautiful!
