How we market our lambs...
This week, like most weeks, I set aside time on Tuesday to weigh and sort through the finishing lambs to see who has reached target weight. I market my lambs heavy, even though the market currently is strong in each weight range thanks to Easter demand.
In this video, I will show you how I weigh, sort and load the lambs into the trailer.

Interesting insight. A majority of the population have no idea how their food is grown and where it comes from. I'm glad to see the care you take with them, even if they are to be food.

Bill Rayvan They weren’t created for food. It wasn’t until after the flood were they for food. In the Garden they were free to eat fruit and vegetables that just grew wildly. Then after the “sin” they were forced to till the ground and sweat to grow food. After the flood there would be no vegetation so animals like sheep there would be more than two that went on the ark to breed and be used for food/sacrifice till they could grow food again. In the garden we actually could communicate with them. That’s why the “snake” was talking to her. And I think in the 1,000 reign we will probably go back to eating from the earth. (I in no way have a problem with meat. I eat a lot of it but I do know this isn’t what we were intended to do. It’s just the way it is now. So I didn’t want that to seem like I’m anti meat because I’m not😊💜✝️)

I so enjoy watching your videos. My mom was born in Canada and told stories of her father herding sheep on the cold prairie. He always wore and old buffalo coat to keep warm. She was born in 1899. She's gone now of course and now I'm the old lady with the stories but I do love learning all the new ways of doing things. Thanks for the videos.

Hi Sandi! Senior Florida newbie here. Not sure why one of your videos landed on my YT page, but it did, and I started watching your channel. And I have a TON of comments, so here goes: I admire you so much for your basically one-person operation (I would be in the fetal position and crying softly on a daily basis) ~~ I love watching the combines during harvest (they remind me of years ago in my Louisiana home) ~~ your lamb babies are adorable ~~ your human babies are too ~~ I loved the cow who stamped her foot at you ~~ dear Amy, may you rest in peace and sing with the angels ~~ mental health is important and too often overlooked (just snap out of it, they say, while you feel like the San Andreas Fault has cracked open, spread to Ontario and swallowed you whole) ~~ I love the way you and your husband talk to each other ("You done?" "Yeah." "You ready?" "Yeah." "That's it?" "Yeah.") ~~ God bless McDonald's and their coffee ~~ I don't get the point of CIDRS and hormone shots (if the shots are designed to make the ewe ovulate, then why not the shot alone and then jumping the nearest ram?) ~~ I love the way you drive your farm vehicles (I would need State Farm and Progressive and Allstate and a St. Jude's medal) ~~ and last but not least, I love your attitude about life in general (NEXXXXXXXXT!). Two final comments about non-sheep things: (1) adopt a 10 minute a day cleaning routine for each general room in your house (living room, dining room, kitchen, you get the idea) ~~ you'll have a clean house in no time at all; and (2) I think the only song you haven't played is the most obvious song of all ~~ Barbara Ann (Bah Bah Bah Bah Barbara Ann)! Cheers and take good care !!

Hannah, I have noticed that she tries not to get involved with the sheep. For example there might be an adorable lamb on the ground and I can tell she wants to hug it so bad, but she knows she can’t. I would have a hard time not being able to cuddle those moms and babies. She is so much stronger than I am.

In the 70s I worked for a food wholesaler in SC. I remember the first time I ordered lamb. It was for a Greek wedding. Years later, a Greek restaurant opened so we ordered more only a few cases at a time. Not like beef where we ordered 60k boneless beef for ground beef at a time for burger restaurant s. I enjoy watching the babies. I like learning new things. As a caregiver to my 92yrs old daddy, watching videos opens my world.

Good info. Looks like you use a short homemade ramp up to the trailer. Currently we don’t have a ramp ... just block off under the trailer ... but it’s a challenge to get the first one to jump up. Sometimes we tie a tame ewe in the trailer to encourage them, then remove the ewe afterward. Think we’ll have to build a ramp. It looks easier :)

In the UK we condition score our lambs on a code that goes EUROP. We aim for E U and R grades and no one wants a thin or fat lamb regardless of weight. R is a good average and U and E have extra muscling in the gigots. The mart grades the lambs and sort accordingly, so you get a good idea of how you are doing. Sent straight to the abattoir we get a grade sheet but it doesn’t always reflect what you know the grades to be as they pay more for top grades. A lot of dishonesty in the trade. I found by and large the mart served me better.

I have been a sheep-farmer-wannabe all my life but the opportunity never gelled. Love watching your videos. I'm wondering why you chose these breeds as opposed to others. In my armchair study of breeds and helping farmer friends who have them, have you ever considered trying Icelandic sheep - one of the primative breeds? They excell in all 3 categories (4 if you count hides) particularly meat. But specifically I understand they are known for rarely if ever needing help with lambing. Makes me think of it every time I see you needing to pull lambs which seems quite frequent. Hardly a video goes by where you don't exclaim how utterly tired you are. I feel for your work-load!

Kelly Vaughn She did a video on shearing. Very cool to watch. The black wool is separated from the white because it cannot be dyed. She said how much it is sold per pound, it wasn’t very much. She had said she’d likes to have them sheared once a year because it makes lambing cleaner. I believe the two guys that did the shearing were paid five dollars per sheep. They were super professionals, fast, efficient without stress to the sheep.

So by “shipping” do u mean “slaughter” because they’ve reached their maximum goal weight?

That is sure a nice set up to work your lambs. The bottle babies have grown a lot since your week of lambing series. 📌📌📌📌Have you considered setting up a finishing barn for some of your lambs?

This is the finishing barn for the lambs. I bring the lambs over here after I wean them.

Have you ever seen other places that raise animals for food? This is possibly the most humane place I have ever seen raise them, some places can be so cruel, she literally bought a pet wheelchair for a baby sheep that couldn’t walk just to give it a chance even if she couldn’t make money of it she was gonna have her still around

I’m sure you have answered my question in a previous video but I’m a fairly new subscriber (2 weeks) and haven’t gotten around to watching all the back videos. This is really interesting to me because there were no sheep farms where I grew up in central Ky. We were Hog farmers. And grew our own feed for them. This was in the early 70’s we were shipping around 20-25 per week to market. Just a small family farm. I was wondering how large of operation You all have. And if any other family members are included. From the equipment and grain storage I’ve seen in the videos it seems substantial. Just how many acres are there under your all’s tillage

So the overall grain operation is now 1800 acres, (mostly all rented from family) and just my husband and I run the sheep and grain operation. He runs the grain, me the sheep. We have two kids, Jack is in college but helps in the summer, Jess is in high school but works for a neighbouring dairy farm (she loves cows). I did a video a few weeks back explaining the sheep farm a bit more...kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5y4gKGBnN1peJo

Hi Sandi, love your videos! Would it be an improvement if the wooden loading ramp was on the outside of the blue chase instead of fitting on the inside of the chase? You've talked a bit about how they sometimes think they won't fit and was wondering if they didn't see the wooden ramp getting narrower if they would load just a bit easier. Keep up the hard work! :)

Aw man, I didn't know you were in Ontario! That got me so happy, then you said you were stationed far on the other side of Toronto. I'm an hour east of Toronto, and I've worked with on an organic farm with sheep before, but not on this professional and organised of a scale. Man, I'd love to come work for you!

What do you do with the lambs that didn’t make your preferred weight of 105? Could you hold them off until the next group and have a mix of larger and smaller weights?
@SandiBrock
@SandiBrock 5 жыл бұрын
They just go back into their pen until they are 5-6 months of age... Then, I ship them at the weight they are at so I can get the barn emptied out for the next group of weaned lambs,
