How I Prepare My Barn For Lambing (FROM CLEANUP TO SETUP): Vlog 145

- HOW I PREPARE MY BARN FOR LAMBING.
The countdown is ON! Less than 2 weeks to go until the new wee ones start arriving...
My favourite time, and my most stressful time here in the barn.
But, when I can stay ahead and get the clean up and set up jobs done before the first lamb drops, I feel so much more in control.
This video shows the process of cleaning out the barn, and the steps taken after to prepare and organize for the next lambing group.
On a side note.
To all my friends in Ontario dealing with this relentless rain, my western friends dealing with drought, and my US friends dealing with flooding...
I wish you nothing but well wishes, and prayers for a way out of this planting season... and a better, sunnier growing season. NOTHING is more important than your health and well being.
Please take care of yourself, and your fellow farmers.
If you know someone who is struggling... reach out.

I love watching you clean out your barn, it’s so relaxing.
For us. I am sure she meant for us! And of course, it is. Sandi however, is kicking butt and taking names, don't get in her way!!
I want to help her clean the supply room and get organized! 😊 Can't wait for the little lambs.
You are an inspiration. I get days were i'm overwhelmed by my work, to a state of panic, I plough through it I get there by the end of the day... keep up ur great work x
You got this! And I will be praying for you! Can't wait to start seeing the lambs!
PLEASE do the 7 days of lambing series again, I love it so much!!!! I’ve watched all the videos from the last one about 5 times each🐑🐑 Goodluck Sandi!
yes please take us along again :)
YYYAAASSSSS!!!!
Yesssss🙏🙏
love your organization and methodology!
This is such an awesome channel. The info is amazing Sandi!
Thank you. I am so looking forward to seeing your lambing, especially any difficult births as it's all educational. I had my ewes scanned yesterday so we know how many they are having from 29th August. Good luck with lambing, I hope it goes smoothly.
Good luck! You’re amazing!
thank you so much for showing all this!!
Good luck, hope everything goes great!!
yay you just made my day better
I love your channel so much!! Keep up the amazing work! You are so amazing and inspiring!
Yep she really is inspirational
I LOVE U SANDI!!!! Keep up the great work. U are so cool and i live tour positive attitude. I hope to be like u when I’m older. I already show sheep so i am 1 step closer to being like u!!!!❤️🐑❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 P. S so so excited to see new lambs!!!
Love your hair down. You look so pretty!! Thanks for this video. Metacam is a fab painkiller. I don’t know how you do it girl! You should do site visits where people pay to work and view your farm. I would!!!
Awesome 👍. I can't wait to see your lambing videos
Thank you so much.
I benefited from your channel...
Good luck to everyone farming in Canada & the States for the remaining spring/ summer.
You are constantly in our thoughts & prayers ❤
Thanks so much Murray!
The most thing I like about you is your determined and always put the animals first. I looked up to u and u inspired me that I should start my own I do work at a farm but there are bottle babies thank you for replying to my other comments sandi you not only teach me but others 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So sweet! Thank you!
Great video Sandi!!!
I have never seen that before. It was totally different to what I am used to here in Australia. Running several thousand sheep in open paddocks is how it is done in Australia. Yours system is much closer and also weather dependant. Heat and drought are our problems where as I think cold must be your issue. Thank you for the insight in how it is done elsewhere.
You make cleaning all that look so easy! Cleaning days are not my favorite days but I share do love when the bedding is clean and so do they!
Its definitely easier with good equipment... But I do love it when its done!
Wow, another great video!!!!!!
I live on a 1000 acre property in Australia and we breed Black Suffolk’s, White Suffolk’s , Dorpers, Poll Dorset and Border Leicester’s. I love watching your videos and seeing how you breed your ewes.
It's a bit different to sheep farming in our neck of the woods (Aus/NZ) aye mate?
With my beef i have a whole year to get ready and still wait till couple weeks before to get ready for calving. But still same - lube, vet wrap, minerals. I think it was your last lambing group that I started watching your videos it was same time as my calving season. Thanks for the videos!
you're hard worker love that
You got this Sandi!
The best Wishes for your Lambing Time from Germany...
very cool your dog watching you working
Thank you for information... 👏👏👏🙋🏼♂️
I wish I was half as organized as you were! As you mentioned. A lot of flooding down here this year. Can't speak for other states but Idaho is getting flooded one week, and in a drought the next. Can't wait to see the lambs! Couple of those girls can use a "Wide load" sign! I just found your channel again and I am so happy(and hit subscribe so fast as not to lose you!) I found you last year when I was looking for info on CIDRs to see if I wanted to use them in my herd. Actually found you again this week while looking for onfo on out of season CIDR protocol. Putting CIDRs in my does tonight. Thank you for all the info you provide!
Also, on ketosis/PT. In case anyone is looking to add something into their treatment list/book in case it happens, this is what I do/use.
Vitamine-B complex. Stimulates appetite.
Propylene glycol given via tube directly into the stomach so as not to burn the throat and make does/ewes not want to eat even more than they don't already(Pg BURNS i accidentally got it on my tongue and was in serious pain for quite a while)
Calcium gluconate. Orally or SQ. About 8oz orally or 40ml SQ over the ribs. 2-4 times a day. Calcium isn't required but seems to really help and also helps prevent Milk fever.
Molasses for some energy
Alfalfa/water mash given with the PG via tube for more calcium/energy.
"Magic" can also be used by isn't required. It is a mixture of Corn oil, Karo syrup, and Molasses. It is quick and lasting energy.
PT/ketosis is most likely to occur in overweight does/ewes, underweight does/ewes, or does/ewes carrying multiples. That's what I use on my does.
Omg the backwards scenes were soooo trippy!! Gave me a good laugh XDDD
Hi Sandi weather is finally getting better. plant plant plant. Git 'er done and keep lots of beers on hand see you 🤣
Another great video Sandi. You have now given me more ideas for my medicine chest. Yjese little wooly beasts do not often get sick or injured but if they do you must be prepared or lose one. Thankx
God Bless Joe
Thanks so much Joe!
Very good sandy
I loved the video and this is the one of the best .. keep up my dear
Madam
Yes madam
So satisfying!!!
It is!
I love you your the best TH-camr
I wish you success
I love how the dog just runs and runs all threw the video
she's a nut! LOL
Love the paint roller idea 👍
works great!
Omg would so love to help you get ready and through lambing. If only I lived near
I hope the spring/summer dries up for you also!!! I don't think I have ever see it this wet.
Just awful this year...
Yay another videooooo
I couldn't do what you do your a beast I love watching you.
Thanks Deborah!
I think I'm weird I love watching the barn clean out lol
Really nice u have done.
Thank you!
8:47 I use the same pain meds for my dogs, got it from my vet when one of my dogs had a big splinter taken out of her paw.
But the one I have is oral.
So exciting here we go again lol
You are the hardest working woman in ewe biz!
I'm about 45 min from Ottawa pretty neat that your from Ontario
Soils in New Brunswick are also low in selenium. I use the same product you use. Please share information about the colostrum replacement.
Hello, I would like to congratulate you on your great job on your farm. I am starting a new sheep project soon and I would like to know the software or the computer you use to keep the records of your ewes and lambs.
Also how many employees do you have on your farm.
Can’t wait to see new life for my birthday! (June 17) 😀🥳
Love the details!!! What do you feed the sheep? Any particular variant of field corn? Any other crops to grow?
ในประเทศไทยจะเลี้ยงลูกแกะแบบคุณได้ไหม ...อากาศร้อนชื้น...แกะมันปูฟางเองไม่เป็นด้วยสอนมันปูเองคนดูแลจะได้สบาย...
PLEASE VLOG MORE OF THE LAMBING THIS YEAR !
A week last year wasn’t enough 😫
I'll try!
Intesting that metacam is licenced for sheep in Canada. In the UK it isn't not sure why.. some how the cows on the farm volenteer to put their name Down in the book on the ewes behalf....🤷♂️ also I want those hurdles in the UK.
You are a woman after my own ❤️. You are a hard worker and never step back. Jack of all trades master of none . I know you definitely have 6 pack abs. I do and I am like you. I am not to good to strip stalls. 50 lbs feed sacks no worries. Cheaper than a gym. God bless you. Nothing better than a baby. No matter how many I have witnessed it always amazes me. Horses use banamine for pain and all my mares get a shot. Hey I have had a child and it was no picnic. Enjoy you Good 🍀
59snitt banamine took my horse from feverish and colicky to happy and normal in like 2 hours!
We just finished our beans today 1:30-45 north of London
Have you thought about getting a scraper tractor? Tom Pemberton has one and it looks very helpful
Pls do a video of what you need for your first time lambing and what each thing does
Once a year lambing is enough for me .
Getting ready for grass cutting and getting first cut hay. And at last it's stopped raining the first time in a week.
I can't imagine going to that level of exhaustion every few months. That takes some hardcore dedication going into that, knowing how tough it's going to be. But when you love what you do (clearly she does love this work deeply) it doesn't feel like drudgery. Farming isn't easy (no matter what you raise), it is why not everyone does it.
By day 12, annual lambing looks pretty darn AMAZING!!! LOL.
Have only been watching you channel for a short time but I love it! Where are you located? And have you thought about getting volunteers to help? If you were close I would love to volunteer and my kids would probably enjoy it also!!
Can i just ask as you dont grow silage is the muck sold or used on your crop fields?
And just want to say im very jealous of your setup we struggle lambing 300 once a year😂
You look really nice today 🥰
I love your hair style
Me too
I live in Australia and am currently on holidays on the Granite Belt, known for its sheep farming. While I understand that high intensity farming draws criticism from Animal activists, I can see nothing but benefits. As we head into our tenth, at least, year of drought and I see the livestock struggling, no fodder in the paddocks, sheep falling victim to wild dogs and foxes, your farming makes sense to me. Someone has to supply the meat trade and this farming ensures the sheep are far better looked after than a paddock mob.
You do amazing things, well done.
thank you so much! Nice to hear this... Many still prefer to see sheep outside. But we all know, Mother Nature doesn't always provide us with lush green grass, and easy going predators...
Metacam seems like it can be used on everything😂 I've given it to chickens, and seen it given to rabbits, too.
Great
Great work ma'am
How often you clean it
Hi Sandi.. thank you for another great video!
After cleaning the pen, don't you use a disinfectant? Like spraying a specific chemical or diluted bleach to kill bacterias? Thank you :)
I have gotten into some bugs in the past that required a strong chlorine disinfectant... but haven't needed it for a couple years now...
1:30 I am a farmer and what you said at the beginning it must compell all of us to believe there is ONE CREATOR who is controlling everything. We can only do much rest is upon HIM.
you're gonna start me sheep. :)
Could you tell us what breed your rams are please. I think you said you used three types in an earlier video.
I love your channel and I dont own any lambs. 😁 This is better than National Gepgraphic! ❤
Awwww! You are preparing for new lambs?
Great attitude with the welfare of your sheep foremost.
Planning, preparation and observation all make a good shepherd
Old paint rollers made me smile. Plumbing pipe insulation in foam with split already formed is great for the job to.
These snares are great for lambing when tight or big lambs and your having trouble guiding the head

You was talking about your rations for the heavily pregnant ewes, have you ever considered using molasses in ball feeders it's great for energy and rumination
In the UK you can get it with added minerals if required. Don't know if you have considered limeing your pens after cleaning and before strawing.
Good luck with you upcoming lambing and hope you get those crops sorted
Nice John deer’s!
Too bad of the crappy red sprayer
Sorry,i ask to you..how long you use straw mat in 1 period?
You have to daily vlog!!! All the lambing love them
If you want to see every day of lambing, you can follow along on Instagram if you have it! I do lots of lambing on my stories!
Sandi Brock yes I know but it’s so much better in a vlog!!!! Xx
Can u discuss why u don’t Beta iodine umbilical cords? And, I didn’t-see a nostril/mouth bulb syringe in your tool belt? Have you considered or used it in the past?
Question?
After how long you clean up?
No plan survives first contact with the 'enemy'.
Is it feasible to cover crop if you can't do the corn? Like winter rye or something?
Yes... lots of plan B's this year have been discussed each morning while we drink our coffee. So far, all but one field got planted to the planned corn crop.
We love your channel, may I ask how wide your barn is.
She made a video on her her barn and her setup
فيديو رائع
do u let your sheep out of the shed thing there in
You said you can run 8 lines max, what is your limit for lambs per nipple on the system?
We just started in raising sheep, what time of year would you prefer having lambs born ?
Hi Sandi, what are you doing with the straw you use as a litter? Sir, is it valued on the floor or is it garbage?
The used straw is used on their crops for fertilizer. The straw is to soak up poop and pee, also for soft bedding when ewes are birthing.
I'm just wondering why you don"t put them on pasture now the weather is warmer? We don't have this barn method in Australia.
We have a heavy coyote population on this farm...
💜💜💜
Классной молодец! !!!!
مشاء الله
Where you keep your rams ? when it’s not mating season
Can we give corn Silage for goat's ? Please reply
What do you do with the straw/manure?
Get an ATV For that cart.
It will be stockpiled and spread after wheat harvest late summer.
Sunshine, short sleeves and birds singing in the background. Good deal. Seems odd to see it in your videos, lol
LOL. Right? No winter coat... no toque! People won't recognize me! LOL
How often do you clean the pens? Every time before they lamb?
Exactly! The other side of the barn can go a bit longer... Maybe 2-3 times per year.
I had a question, Why do you leave the tails so long/. I worked for a Vet for a long time and we did dock lamb tails. We docked right to the end of the bum. Didn't leave any tail at all. Its easier to keep those bums clean and maggot free.
