This ewe's udder is TOO BIG for her LAMBS! Vlog 313

- Sometimes...
Nature has a funny way of testing your skills. I literally just finished training two more than willing lambs to drink on one less than convinced mom how to drink, to now, a ewe that has SO MUCH MILK... but an udder so engorged that the lamb just physically cannot drink.
Also beginning to see lambs going backwards... meaning moms are just not milking up to full potential.
This means milk machine needs set up.
Which then means, I have to clean up the far side to move some ewes and lambs around...
The ripple effect of when things don't go as planned.

If people cared about one-another like you care for your sheep, this world would be an awesome place. A lot if people have a lot to learn from you. Your struggles are our inspiration..
1) I love the discussions you have Sandy about all the critical thinking you do regarding your sheep! It's highly educational and really appreciated
2) does anybody else look at all that spent hay that was cleaned out and went, "OMG! That would be perfect for my garden!" lol...
Yes to the spent hay comment!!! Only I would guess they may spray their fields to reduce the weeds...wouldnt want that on your garden if so
Ouch. It’s been a long time but I feel her pain.
That ewe with the bad udder reminded me of a ewe one of my farming teachers has. Her ewe tore her pubic tendon while in labor. I’m not 100% sure what a pubic tendon is to be honest, but it looked like her entire back half was one big udder. She recovered from it thank goodness, but it was quite a sight. Also I get the milking problem, I get kicked too when I milk goats unless they have a bowl of grain in front of them
So many colorful lambs (painted)! I like them all, but the painted ones are so interesting to look at with their different coloration. Thanks for the vlog today, I wasn't expecting this to be a Sandi B day!
Oh poor mama to be that engorged, OUCH!!! We have been down that road before. Uncle finally bought a portable milk stand that we can move easily. The one I will say is if you ever have make one or buy one. Make bloody well sure it has sides or you can make sides for it. Sheep that aren't use to be in or on a stand will jump off the side and kick the s*** out of you or land in your lap. Sandi, you do know that you can refrigerate the milk from sheep for couple of days. Just make sure to warm it up to body heat and shake the bottle well before feeding.
Poor momma. I wouldn’t be very ladylike being milked with engorgement like that! So the overflow in the fridge in case a bottle is needed for a new lamb
I see it's not just humans who must deal with the variety in breast size, poor ewes do too. This was an interesting video, very informative. Thanks for sharing Sandi!!
My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!
The sunrise in the background 😍😍😍
You’re too sweet to those ewes and babies ❤️
The “modesty sheep” just kills me every time! 🤣
No room for modesty when you're having a baby.
God bless you for helping that poor engorged mum! She’s probably in a lot of pain but your persistence in helping her should pay off. Love your videos!
Lately the sunrises have just been so beautiful and vibrant, especially in this video! Enjoy the little things while they last. 😊
You are doing an awesome job, it always look like the mamas are waiting to show you their new babies when you show up, You go hi, good morning mama and the mom looks up and nudges her baby then look back at you like TA DAA! 😊👍💕💕💕
I've thought the same thing!
@@beccadotelpy خ
Maybe you can get an automatic machine that can suction to her to help relieve her every so often, I think she needs so pain meds, warm compress and topical cream.... something to help her with discomfort...
Tbh...having had mastitis myself, pain is an understatement! The best thing you can do for her is a topical anesthetic warm washcloths and be on her otherside while stripping her out. But she has GOT TO BE EMPTIED. AND YOUR VET SHOULD PROBABLY GIVE HER AN ANTIBIOTIC.
I think there's more than enough comments about everything else in the vlog today, so I'm just going to say....that sky....my god it was a thing of beauty!!!
I STILL can’t get over the sheep emoji that you found.
Same! Haha. I was actually wondering why it was added when every single other birthing I've seen on this channel was full-on shown.
I feel her pain. try an electric pump on her. It is quicker. also for my goat who hung so low, old sheet tired around udder, cold cabbage a few times a day helps to take the pain, and engorgement down. 24 hours straight though will dry her up. So not that. But as a lactation consultant, I use cabbage on engorged moms a lot. it works!
@Addy Hodgson I took her meaning put the cold cabbage in the sheet, but maybe she did mean feed it to her. ?? I'm confused. lol!
You place cold cabbage leaves around the breast. Like a cold compress. I was told to do it a couple weeks ago but never did. Having a baby during covid prevents your ability to get out to buy things! Trying to keep the family safe and healthy!
Hi Sandi, can I make a suggestion? Give the engorged ewe medicam as she is in pain. When the medicam kicks in, then milk her out and feed her lambs. You are a Wonder Woman ♥️
Good suggestion.
I wonder if it would effect the lamb if you give meds to mom. I had a problem with mastitis poor momma. My doc said I had to strip myself on the infection side and feed from the other. Had to pour out the milk from infected side.
Just looking at her utter I knew it had to hurt. Great suggestion! I notice this video is at least 1 yr. old so I hope she took your good suggestion. REMEMBER ( 😉) DOING A INTERNAL MEANS 99.9% OF THE TIME A BABY WILL BE PULLED OUT.
@@cindyburk6146 I hope everything turned out good. Are you a sheep farmer & if you are or even if you aren't but raise some, DO YOU HAVE TO PULL BABIES AS OFTEN AS SANDI DOES.?
There is no way I could work all day in that barn. The birds are so loud I'd have migraines all the time. So glad you can.love the BABIES.
Poor momma. I can only imagine what that is like!
Great job as usual Sandi. Always great to watch the lambs month after month. It doesn't get old. And your patience is to be looked up at with great respect.
I need to borrow your bobcat to clean my house!!!’
Beth Ann May I hear ya! I’d love to get hired help, even if just for a week.
@@Gayle.McConnaughey 💞best money you'll ever treat yourself with!💞💞💞💞👏👏😘i took all my mother's day gift money one year and hired a housekeeper for however many hours it paid for. Literally, right off kijiji/cragslist...just started calling asked "how much ?" And whatever they charged /hr...I took my bundle of $$ and bought that many hrs, a bottle of my favourite beverage and a new bubble bath and a book. Hired, and indulged myself. Voila! Perfect mother's day! Wrote my list, requested that it, and laundry be done, excused myself, locked myself in the bathroom, and came out to my fresh house and folded clean clothes...all was better in my world!😁😎💞🤷♀️
Me too!! And I've only got dogs and cats.
I thought she had a lamb falling out of her lower stomach and I honestly had a lil anxiety issue-
Also NGL watching the ewe chase down her baby because he was trying to steal from other ewes was sad. But on a Happier note, watching the little lambs wiggle their tails as they nurse was adorable.
You are so kind to your flock , you were so kind to the ewe with the engorged udder. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
I’m graduating today!! and everyone is running around like crazy but I’m glad I have your videos to watch to keep me calm just like how they did for me during my final year ♥️ thank you for always bringing me a smile and making my dream of becoming a veterinarian certain to strive for!
GifySniffy132 ! Congratulations
Best o luck to you. Follow your heart ❤️.
Congratulations!!!
Love that sheep emoji you use when you do not want to show births lol. At least you can milk her and feed the babies for now. Love watching you with the babies.
I really appreciate how you get the most out of your telehandler.
You are doing such a good job! You are handing these problems so good! Love You!!💖
Thank you for your videos, Sandi - they always brighten my day! It's wonderful to see someone who loves and cares for their animals the way you do :)
So glad to hear you took the weekend off and please tell Mark Happy Father’s Day for me. Also that poor sheep with her utters like that, I could only imagine how painful that must be for her. OH AND COULD YOU PRETTY PLEASE SHOW HOW YOUR TINEST LAMB HAS BEEN DOING AND HAS HE OR SHE GOTTEN ANY BIGGER??? 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Sandi you are so attentive with all of your animals , it’s amazing the things you can spot or hear! That poor ewe - will you try to milk her to reduce the pain and swelling to see if she can start to nurse her lamb? Just one more job to add to the long list right? You work so hard- you’re amazing !❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🐑🐑🐑
You rock at this sandi!! Love your compassion for these beautiful creatures ❤ love hugs n prayers from the USA
Honestly really enjoy seeing the time lapse of her cleaning parts of the barn 😌 but I love everything about her videos regardless great work
She’s in pain, poor mama!! Cute babies. Wow that’s so much work!!
Owwwwwe! Ouch ouch ouch 😬 okay well now I’m jealous I can’t even get that much milk hahaha
You do such a good job with sheep all the best, Tim in the uk
I love how much you love and care for your sheep. I warms my heart.
Ouch I feel that ews pain been so encouraged it hurts it looks really red too poor mama hope the swelling goes down enough to feed them or you will have to get the milk machines going
Or she could keep milking mom and using her milk. I know it's time consuming but I think worth it in the long run. Less cost to her also.
It's hecken precious when they start drinking, their tails go wild!
Good lord her udder brought back memories. I remember the relief of expressing milk!! 🙌🏼
Kinsey is so.dang cute running back and forth herding the sheep lol she's so little ....
Fantastic,.Astounding,.Informative,...Pure Love,.Knowledgable,.Lovable,..etc,.....Sandi..! This was a great OJT for us, on what you do for a living.! Coupled with watching Marks channel, as well as your, ‘pleasing to the eye, Miss Personality/Worker, daughter of you two. ( and Marks a good looking man,...but,..I’m Ron and he’s not my type. (😇). Anyway, This is a definite joy for anyone,..that you’ve invited into your home...! Thank you.
Be safe,...yet,...enjoy.!
I love all of your videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your journey with us!
You work so hard, Sandy. I admire you greatly!
That poor ewe at least you could use that milk to feed Holsteinn or another lamb who needs some extra milk maybe?
SaraAson Infection is probably in the utter therefore in the ewes milk so I don’t think it would be good milk to feed any babies
@@mapoosianmacrack127 a swelled udder does not mean infection.. edema in a fresh animal is normal. not as much ln sheep as bovine
Shes giving the milk to the lambs though
Hope you get things straighten out with the mom. Love seeing the lambing pics keep up the great job. God bless you from Michigan
Every Day brings New Challenges especially with ALL the Lives you’re responsible for. You Rock!👍
Goodness little challenges everyday! Doing a great job just keep on keeping on!
There little tails wagg..just adorable.
Thank you Sandi for all your videos, I have been watching you in ups and downs since last year. You gave me so much strength in my bad days (and boy I have got a lot of them sometimes), I can relate with your struggles and I used it as an example of how I should step up and be better each day. Thank you.
Sandi, I think I've posted only once before? I just want to tell you I just really admire you and think you're a phenomenal person!🤗
Ok, I have a confession. When I know you will post, I schedule my day around it. That's how addicted I am to your channel. Especially during lambing. Take good care of yourself.
I’ve noticed this group so far it seems has lambert well for you I’ll be excited to see the end results, like you said less intervention and some of the different changes you’ve made I’m curious the difference in the outcome. Love this❤️
Thanks Sandi. Such a lovely video of Sandi's ewes and lambs. God bless.
Good video Sandi stay safe Daniel from central Mississippi
I Love watching the baby lambs as they eat and shack their tails it's so cute... did u know baby cows do the same thing as they drink from their mommy's...
them birds would drive me nuts glad to see you took some time for your self.
You are the hardest working woman I know. Dad and I often comment that we need a nap after watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us, we are so glad you didn’t call it quits.
Oh I feel so bad for that mama I hope she gets
better and I am sorry for the two lambs that died and lastly for all the other lamb having trouble.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. PLEASE KEEP SHARING
The lamb emoji, omg LOL! There's something satisfying about watching you clean that pen with the bobcat... mama with the huge teats seems to be in some discomfort :(
Your doing amazing!!!!! Keep up the great work🤗🤗🤗
Lol your so special. I love you.
Hi Sandi I live watching your program you are so passionate and treat them really well
I love your channell. ❤ . I am an avid spinner and know something of fleeces, but nothing about sheep. I love watching the lambs frolic, they are soooooo cuuuuute! Thank you for sharing.
You are ONE busy lady 😄
Love watching kensie trying to help herd
Busy busy you seem much calmer today everything’s coming along now almost done you need a rest lol this is the first time you haven’t used the milking Machine that I’ve seen much easier when they can do it themselves thanks for sharing today
I would get caught up just watching them all day. Sandra this brings back memories at my Grandpa's Lambs I miss this........ Thanks for sharing... ☺❤
Great job!! Thanks for the video❤
Sandy, remember that you always do your very best!!
Thanks Sandi for your care and videos
It is advised to make sure that the tube is in the stomach rather than the lung before using it. This is done by aspiration looking for gastric fluid. If you install milk in the lungs that will cause pneumonia and kill the lamb.
Good luck!.
I can’t believe how loud those dang birds are! Shouldn’t they be out looking for worms?
Will be bad for a bird flue coming in the feces and they lamd can get sick
Yes but they come into the barn but there is no doors open so now they r loud because they can't get out
Sure the birds are noisy but notice there are no flys bothering the sheep or lambs.
I love birds
Steriotypicall birds: looking for worms and making nests
Actual birds: taking care of us humans and protecting animals, they may sound annoying but their protecting the sheep
Those birds spread virus from farm to farm sadly
You do such a great job with all the sheep !! 😀😀😀😀
Wow, so impressed with you and your hard work. I can't imagine ever doing what you do. Love that little "cover" sheep. :)
Her udder is normal, you should keep her, she has lot of milk so she may have the biggest lambs. I have a dairy farm so i know how looks the great udder 😃
Just help the lambs in a few first days...
Getting away from the farm for a night must have did ya well. You were glowing at the beginning of the video
God bless you in your work
You are doing a very good job 👍. Stay blessed
Love your videos and you do such a great job!
I love the spotted colors.
When the lambs wag their tails, it's soooo cute!
Hi Sandi
I am from New Plymouth in New Zealand and LOVE your channel!! I have a small flock of 40 ewes which I shepherd intensively...even setting my alarm to get up in the night if I am worried about a ewe - not suggesting you should do the same as your numbers are so much greater and you would burn out!!! I think you do a fantastic job and you are somewhat of a kindred spirit with your love for your sheep and the pleasure you get from them and their lambs!
I am very interested in your sheep with the engorged teats. I have one exactly the same, and the udder hangs so low that the lambs cannot latch on. I have successfully got them on by making sure I am present when she gives birth, stripping each teat and then lifting the udder and guiding the teat to the lamb, rather than guiding the lamb to the teat. If I press the teat against the side of her udder where the lamb is looking, they have something to press against and can get the teat into their mouths. They are quick learners and once they have done it once or twice, they are away. I find if I bottle feed first up, they get nipple confusion and I will always work with latching the lamb onto mum as 1st option. Bringing the teat to the lamb works better for me than trying to guide the lamb's head...NZ lambs seem to hate it🙄😄. Keep up the fantastic work and I look forward to more videos. My sheep start lambing in two weeks🤞😁.
To clarify, I always top up my lambs with a bottle if mum is insufficient, just as you do!😊
These videos make my day!
Your doing good job .keep up the work .watching you give me thearp.thank you love your video
When I saw you drop some of the bedding from the tele handler I was like "oh poop." Then i realized it actually is. Lol. Anyway, i always look forward to your videos! I love seeing the lamb races!
I love how they head butt the udder lol. Poor mama.
Thank you for taking the time to make this channel. Although i have Boer goats i have learned a lot from watching your videos that crosses over. Only thing i can say from my end is get a milking stand! You save on time not having to chase them around and can tie the legs on the kickers. I have a single mom with a bad side that has to be hand stripped 2 xs daily. Major pain but as i only have 15 total she was worth keeping for a couple of breedings. No signs of mastitis, she just got cut from teeth on a breeding before i got her and that injury was enough to bulb the teat on that side.
Man, I remember that feeling! Poor momma. Sorry to hear about the recent issues. Hopefully, that will be the only setback.
Keep up the good work I enjoy watching u
New day new challenges..
And you will concur it all..
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
I don't know about lamb. Is their anatomy such that you cannot run the tube into the lungs? Do you ever feel for air to come out of the tube or pull back on the syringe to check for stomach contents?
My husband laughs at me because I have to watch "Sheepishly Me" every day. My history is cattle and dry land farming. He never thought I would be so interested in sheep! I just love how real you are in your sharing and emotions. Please keep sharing this gift to all of us. 🐑🥰
So smart to number the lambs and moms!
So cute 🐑❤
Poor mama
Today was bad my bull got out and run on the road to a mad bull then fighting though the fence then he ran to my neighbors house then my mom had to cut the fence and he got back in
Ugh, been there. I had a bull, 2 cows and their calves get to our neighbors. There’s a spot by our pond where it connects as overflow to the neighbors pond where there’s no fencing. I was letting them graze on a different part of the pasture that we haven’t fully fenced but we see them if they come down by the house and shoo them back. Somehow they snuck by us and made it to the pond opening. My neighbor called and said they were over making friends with his cows so we had to round them up (including 2 couple month old calves) and bring them back the long way down his driveway, down our road and back up the driveway to an enclosed pasture - took forever! Glad you were able to find him and bring him back!
Naughty!!
From a city girl whose has taken a lot of ribbing over many years because I don’t know the Farm way. However, I did work in the maternity ward many years ago where I learned engorged “breast” meant ice packs. So here it goes. Could you make a sort of sling and place an ice pack or two on the issue? Yep 👍 go ahead and say it. Crazy city girl🤣
i love the little sounds the ewes make to their lambs.
Ouchy, does she have mastitis. Looks super painful, poor ewe.
You never give up , just keep swimming !!
Awe the little Holsteins mama loves him so much h though while he was.tryin to drink from the other the mama was trying to let him know hey I'm right here little.dude what are you doing lol .....it's so cute to see how into her baby she is like she really loves that little baby .....
