If at first you fail... | RE-sorting ewes, Jess came home and a tour I'll NEVER FORGET!! | Vlog 757

[@pamelagarcia1987]

I can't imagine showing up on a stranger's doorstep unannounced and expecting an invitation into their home. I wouldn't do that to my best friend, let alone a stranger.

[@AngieJames4172]

You would be amazed how many KZbinrs it has happened to sadly. People simply have zero respect.

[@donnacampbell9281]

But they are friends and maybe that's the way farmer families are very kind people

[@Myautoimmunelife]

Me either, I never show up at my friends and family without asking first.

[@Calgary27]

Wholeheartedly agree. I don't even let family drop in unannounced. People, especially men, do not understand how much work women do to protect themselves to ensure their personal safety and the safety of their families. Where we walk, where we park, info online. Then factor in the high investment into their businesses. OMG - these are not low cost businesses. Many of these machines if they had to be replaced cost more than my house, keep safe Sandi and team plus all our Canadian AG businesses

[@susanzigler668]

Wind sounds! I listen to this and sleep well 😂😂😂 I would not be any help to u.😂😂😂 I'd never not leave when ask to😮. So rude! Love watching lambs grow😍

[@michaelwilliams7481]

Yes Sandi, your private life should stay private. Always good to see Jess, busy going to a few places, good that the snow didn't stop you. Love to you all, from Mike. Stay safe. ❤

[@alicecain4851]

Yup. We can send a Christmas card to your P. O. Box if we feel the need to be closer, but I'm thinking that's about it. Leave comments if you want to. LoL

[@willieallan953]

Sandi, I really love the way you promote small businesses, especially those who have worked their tales off! ❤❤❤❤

[@dawnsnyder216]

That's awful that people would just show up and then be belligerent when asked to leave. I wish her and all of KZbin video creators the best and to be safe. Enjoy watching them.

[@susanturcotte3176]

I agree, Dawn. However, this is the new world we live in unfortunately. 😅 The main adjective is selfishness. Everything is about the person: whether it's stealing an item or money; telling blatant lies for self promotion, etc. Why do people think any of this is alright? Sad.

[@alicecain4851]

Stay safe, families!

[@bkm2797]

susanturcotte3176, Maybe because they weren't taught any better? I've noticed especially since the beginning of 2000, that parents were not saying nor teaching their children to say thank you, or excuse me and I thought why (?), people feel better with these acts of appreciation or respect, and it cost nothing, but here we are with a couple of generations that don't,lol, what can you do.

[@deborahryan8452]

I’d never just stop by. I’d more likely drive by and yell to my sons, “That’s it! That’s where Sandi lives! I wonder if the golden girls are out in their pasture.”

[@tiabiamama]

To be fair, they might have driven a long way to get there, but still...

[@lauradent9480]

I don’t like people I know just showing up unannounced so the thought of going to a complete strangers house is just mind boggling to me!

[@chuckthebrindlepittie6820]

Agree. No one I know would show up to my home or property unannounced or uninvited -- not even family members or friends. Would be so rude and intrusive. I have horses so, mercifully, I have a fully fenced property with a gate locked 24/7, except when I drive through it.

[@julieenslow5915]

The problem is that Sandi and all the family - not even the property - is strange at all to those of us who follow her faithfully. We are the ones that are complete strangers in this scenario, and we just show up? That just is rude. It's not just wrong it is an invasion of their lives. Can't people realize that?

[@cynthiamgrooms8195]

I will Never understand Why, or How some people Feel so Entitled, that they’re Belligerent, & Offended when they receive an Icy greeting, when they run up on people unannounced-probably bc I haven’t, & Won’t Ever deal with such Rude, Ignorant, Self-absorbed people, who Obviously Don’t have Friends to keep them busy in their own territory. Strangers doing that to me, Especially living in an isolated area, such as a farm, would be greeted with a plethora of Sailor’s words, & if that didn’t work, the ole pew pew I had my hand on the entire time, would certainly convince them that they’re Not appreciated, even in the slightest of ways.🤬 My brother thought it was ridiculous that we had to call our Dad to, as He put it, “make an appointment to see him”-it always made sense to Me though, bc I don’t like people just assuming I have No life, but to sit around waiting for the Privilege to entertain people!!! Dad was a Golf Nut, who if he wasn’t playing, he was watching tournaments live, or on tv. He loved to sleep in, & during football season, it was fin for ourselves, unless the house was on fire, or some other emergency arose!!! In his Very short days of early retirement(😪), he was in the kitchen more, & had taken up an interest in plants, hand fed a squirrel Buddy, & enjoyed time with his wife of over 25 years, & eating out at his favorite places. When we Did come, he pulled out All the stops, like he hadn’t seen us for decades!!! Through my years, I couldn’t count how many times, friends & coworkers complained about certain people “just showing up”, & how they hated it!!! Some would get “Genius ideas going on How to get rid of them, saying they’re about to leave, or about to do something else. I just looked at them & asked, “IF you hate it that much, why do you keep Allowing it?”?!? Always met with a Shocked look, & a “Huh?”,🙄What is it with people & the Truth?!? I’ve never considered myself anything Special, or having anything more than One Life, & I’m Not gonna be miserable for someone else’s Feelings!!! Of course it can be done Nicely, but who’s Ever come across one of those folks taking a Nice hint, bc all’s I’ve ever known of such Hard Heads-they Only respond to Direct Rudeness, so they can make Their Social Intrusion Failures be Anyone’s Fault but their Own!!!

[@sosburn6697]

I thank you for sharing your life with us. I could never imagine just showing up to someone's house and violating their property, etc. Even though you share your life with the world, it doesn't give anyone the right to just violate your privacy. That would be very scary to have some crazy entitled person just show up. Be safe!

[@alicecain4851]

💯% right!

[@shirleysousa1133]

As much as I would love to see your sheep I totally agree with keeping your home and family safe from the public. It’s sad to know that there are people out there that want to invade your personal space

[@alicecain4851]

Yes! Wanting to and doing it are SO different! Haven't we all wanted to lend Sandi and Carissa - and even Mark at times - a helping hand? Hand Sandi that extra coffee she so desperately needs? Oh, and when there are just too many stillborn lambs... I'm tearing up now thinking of the times we've been able to read "defeat" in Sandi's body language, when she's really such an amazing hero. Those people who would just go onto the Brock's home property don't know them at all! As much as Sandi has shared with us, you can see what private people they are. Sorry I went on so long. 🐑

[@dianebannister4591]

​@@alicecain4851i would love to see Sandi's Sheep Farm and pet some sheep, especially the babies, but I would never be intruding to just show up and want a personal tour given to me. Besides, I don't live near her.

[@AdinaShoshanaSturman-os6tk]

Wow! In silhouette of Jess - this video - she looks so much like Mark. First time I saw that! Front view - just like you! ❤❤❤

[@gailcotter4228]

Sandi…grab extra lines for the Nanny…then when you go out to unfreeze, just switch with the new ones and take frozen ones in to thaw. …hope that gives you an idea!

[@sharonlamendola7421]

That sounds like a brilliant idea. I hope she see's this. There maybe a reason she doesn't but I said right away why didn't I think of that.

[@HeatherBehanEgan1974]

You guys always brighten my day. Jess looks better every day I'm so happy for her. Love and light to you all ❤🐑

[@alicecain4851]

I think Jess looks adorable with her pixie haircut. You're right - she's glowing! 🌟

[@bkm2797]

Jess really is a pretty young lady, and with her parents height she could be a model, but she chose sanity instead,lol.

[@HeatherBehanEgan1974]

She's a lovely young lady no doubt but you can tell she loves being in school. Like her mom, intelligent and articulate with a great sense of humor, she will do wonderful things in life. She's the same age as my own kiddo so to watch this sweet family battle cancer truly hurt my heart. Unrelated, but it really troubles me that complete strangers would invade their privacy by just showing up at their home. I guess when you're in the public eye you're going to see a certain element of that. People can be so incredibly rude and intrusive

[@jeanniemccall9484]

Your safety, and your family's safety, is more important than anything in this crazy day and age. I can't believe people feel so "entitled" to you, due to a vlog, that they would look up your address and just show up!! That takes more nerve than a bad tooth!! Stay safe, and I love your videos and all the lambs and sheep!!

[@alicecain4851]

For example, I watch a couple - and have for years! - called Trent and Allie. They live in northern Utah. Gee - guess what? I live in northern Utah. When they drive around, I've seen places I know as I've lived in and around Salt Lake City for around 40 years. They take the same exits and often go to the same stores. They do try to mix things up a bit, but if you've lived here as long as I have, it's not that hard to put things together. So, I made sure I stopped paying attention as much and trying to put things together. It's not my business to figure out where they live, work, golf, go to the Dr's, etc... They deserve their privacy. I don't need to know where they live. It's more important to me that they feel safe. They've had a rough year with Allie's Mom passing from the sudden onset of ALS that took her in 6 months at the age of only 66 in December. I also watch Eamon and Bec, with Bec getting through her breast cancer and just giving birth to their beautiful but a bit early little girl. These people already share so much with us! I feel that giving them their privacy is their right. They're just people, and life hits them just as hard as it does us. Sorry for going on so long.

[@erlrancholdies5206]

I can’t believe how many layers of clothes you need to wear. I’ve never been in that cold of weather. Your one tough cookie!

Don't worry about not filming every little thing, Sandi. You have a life that deserves some privacy. It is great the parts you already share with us. Anyone who gets their knickers in a knot when you don't video, needs to grow up.

[@bluemoonofky8468]

You and Jess looked so pretty when y'all went out. You all are always beautiful. It was just nice to see you be able to get out and make time for yourself and Jess looks absolutely gorgeous!! I'm so thankful she's doing so well, it shows on all of your faces!

[@andreageorge7280]

Sandi, it is always a great pleasure to stop what I'm doing just so I can watch your videos. Seriously! There is just something about you, your family & your sheep that is so relaxing and peaceful.

When did the "nanny" lambs get so big??!! They're clearly thriving in spite of frozen lines & biting apart their nipple! ☺💕💕

[@alicecain4851]

I noticed that today, too, with their heads coming above the top slat! I know she was talking about weening soon! With only doing 3 breeding groups this year, there won't be back-to-back lambs like we've all been used to. I can't wait to see how Sandi and Carissa will feel with a bit more time between lambing. And Sandi won't have to run so hard to keep up with lambs and fields. I'll bet it'll be just as exciting! LoL I wonder if she'll do bigger breeding groups because she's having 3 instead of 4? There still has to be a profit... It'll be interesting!

[@deirdrecorey3876]

I'm so glad that you & Jess got to talk about your CA journey.... It's hard to process when you're neck deep, plus you & Jess probably didn't want to talk about certain things to avoid stressing out the people you love. Now there's some space & time. I bet this was a good therapy sess for ALL of y'all... ❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

it's not nice to have all that snow lying there, but on the other hand you're lucky that the snow only fell after your ladies had their lambs otherwise you would have been very busy rescuing hypothermic lambs, now you're busy to give the ladies, gentlemen and their little ones a warm and soft bed and to thaw the tubes for the milk of the bottle babies. but then you have a sweet husband on the side who makes the yard a little more passable and has to try to clear the snow away every morning as long as there is snow... good luck with the snow.

Given how high the crime rate is in Fort Wayne, Indiana - why am I not surprised? Nope not even if I lived in a Disney cartoon, crime rate in rural areas is many times higher than their city cousins.

When she said it was -3⁰C in the barn, that's 26⁰F, so it's still below freezing, but I can see why she's not too worried about the sheep. And yes. I Googled that. I have the worst time figuring out Celsius to Fahrenheit.

[@diannefitzmaurice9813]

Sheep can handle the cold temps even to -30C if out of the wind with their wonderful coats. So you better believe how warm wool really is ! And some other natural fine fibers are even warmer - mohair & cashmere from goats is 4x warmer than wool, alpaca is 6x warmer, qiviut and angora is 8x warmer but angora also has thermal qualities (hollow fiber) so in addition to insulating fibers that trap air between the fibers, thermal means it adds warmth! But what is hard if animals are outdoors is keeping water from freezing for them ! And even indoors as we see it is a challenge.

[@alicecain4851]

Have you considered having 2 sets of hoses for the nanny? Take off a frozen set and replace with the set you kept in the warm storage area.

[@KyChimerical]

I am glad the -40 is over here. We are supposed to be warm this week even highs of 0 by Friday. Hope you guys get nicer weather soon.

[@ladybleu222]

I Iove your special girls - I think it's why I keep watching. Also your lonely personality and Piper.

[@Nyquil5]

Could use a sheep or two right now to keep me warm. I'm under my covers with 6 cats on the bed and still shivering! I'm so ready for Spring temperatures. Thanks for sharing your life and always good to see Jess!

[@haleykrause1591]

I know 2023 was such a horrible year for your family, my family and a lot of others. Here is to 2024 being a year of peace and happiness. Praying everyone has a blessed year!

I live in South Carolina USA. It was 35 yesterday, I stayed in all day " too cold" Sorry to hear people think they can stop by your home any time they like.

The brown coveralls have that green back pocket. It looked like a green spray paint spot. I assume green means good, you may pass Go. 😂

I LOVE to snowmobile ! It’s been years and years since I was on one but always so much fun. 🥶❄️💚🙃

I love your channel, I'm so happy Jess is well. Praise God. Love y'all.

Sandi I know exactly what you're talking about. Born and raised on a big farm in Minnesota

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

It cracks me up when you say -6.6 degrees is not terrible...What? You Canadians are incredibly optimistic! So funny. 😂

[@sharonm3677]

Nice to see you two get out and give the snow mobiles a try. Jessica your looking so well, really kicking the short hair, it really shows off your beautiful eyes and smile. That was scary that someone watching a U-Tube channel would seek out and go to someone’s home, that’s their private lives, people need to have and respect boundaries. I wouldn’t seek out my grocery managers family home. Wth. Loved your video. ❤❤

[@jennifermassie7227]

We have been pretty spoiled this winter so far!! When it does get cold it really gets bitter cold!!! Gotta love our Canadian Winters!!!🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@gailrodgers3079]

Got to love our NW PA weather too. We generally get Sandi's weather within a couple of hours. I walk with a cane and if I fall it is a big job to get me back up, so I am at the point I am happy to have no snow. I live in a fruit farming town with the biggest Welch's factory, lots of winerys etc. so the farmers need the extra wet.

[@tomntammybrown3817]

It's been the same story in the US Midwest. Rain and unseasonably warm up until January and then...whammo unbelievable cold. Up and down temperatures rain and snow mixed in some places and a foot of snow in others with flooding in yet others. Mother nature has been crazily bipolar all year long for 2023 and now continuing into 2024. Come on girl, get back on your meds and quit messing with us. Even the birds and animals are confused. More people sick with the flu and pneumonia than people who got sick during COVID because the weather is so up and down... You don't know from day to day how to dress. Only had to wear a mid weight jacket up until New years... Since then some days are a jacket and other days are 4or 5layers to keep warm.

[@shelleyg1836]

i'm about an hr south west of algonquin park ontario and i got about 18 inches last week during that big storm. way more than i ever wanted. LOL i live in the woods and would be quite happy with 5 inches or less. been spoiled so far though before that as the winter had been mildest and lowest snow ever in 20 yrs. sure made the winter seem less long that's for sure. the snowmobiling neighbours have been having a hoot with this latest dump.

So I discovered your channel about a month ago and in that time I literally watched all your videos in order so I learned who everyone was and Im addicted. Like Seeing the birth of willow to her having her own babies. It’s amazing. And you, seriously if there was an award for human on the year you really deserve it. The love, care and compassion you show these amazing animals just warms the soul. You’re so amazing. through all the hard and tough things you had to deal with just remember life throws challenges to the strongest of people.

[@janisedenton4242]

Welcome to Sandi's Sheeple! I've been following her, Mark and Jess for almost a year. I, too, bingewatched from #1. It really helped me feel "at home," but I'd NEVER drop in on her. What a scary prospect that is.😮

[@hummingbirdinSoCal]

What was piper saying to the sheep?? 😆 Piper: "Look, this is how it's going to go today... I'm going to open the gate and Mom Sheep Lady is going to think she left it open, and then you sheep ladies can .... Oh no here she comes with the camera! Act natural, act natural!! dooditty doo, nothing to see here!" 😂 Ahh love watching your life with the animals! Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤❤

[@susanturcotte3176]

Awesome events, Sandi! Your peer group, tour, snowmobiling, friends, and you and Jess on a live podcast. No wonder you can't help but smile, even though you are tempting fate that it might be "frozen" 😂 in place! Pun intended. I'm so happy that you have a network with the best family, friends and businesses. It all combines for a great life. Thank you so much for always sharing your adventures with us! The tour of the farm clips you showed, were actually shocking to me. Although I never thought about it, the pumpkin seeds being processed were actually a bright golden yellow color. I actually wondered if they were from pumpkins, because they should have been orange. Tee hee! Little do I know! However, introducing us to this family's farm and products were extremely interesting. No wonder it takes 3 days to get ready before opening their store. Those flours probably have a great taste which only comes from grandma's cooking! Oh how I miss her cooking .... She used a neighboring farm's flour, still raised and ground at the family owned mill! There is no commercially made flour that even comes close to using it in baking recipes. The little billy lamb might have a blind eye. However, the only way to know for sure is to sneak your hand across that eye (from behind) to see if he reacts. It might be too much inflammation. Then again it might a new injury, because you would have seen that up close a couple of weeks ago while holding him. I hope he is not. Fighting for the nanny's nipple, being the runt, doesn't help his chances of allowing it to heal. Bless his heart. Glad school is going well with Jess. She grows more beautiful by the day. The cherry on top is that your daughter has a heart of gold to go along with it. Great parenting job! You and Mark raised two wonderful young adults. I'm applauding Jack, his great job and skills, along with a wonderful new home! Wonderful young man. Well, since I'm dealing with temps in the teens as well, I'm signing off in order to bear hug my heater! 🥶 It is rare to have these low temps and wind chills lower than that. But it is even more rare to have them days at a time below freezing and remaing there. I've kept you all in my prayers as I have watched the radars showing the artic blasts blowing over you all. My best advice is to get a small enough heater that you can get your arms around 😉 Warmth and blessings from Alabama ❤️

I have to agree about 2023. I guess there's a bright side to confronting your mortality on very rare occasion so you don't take so much for granted. Hoping for better in 2024.

[@dorothydecesare1607]

Do you have two or more sets of tubing for the nanny? That way you need only put the frozen tubing in the hot water and grab the ready to go tubing to get back to the wee lambies. Sort of like, a second and/or third set of sheets ….one to wash , one to ‘wear’… ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

So glad you got to enjoy some time "away" from the farm. Kudos to the family ran business. I buy from a few, not so much local, but ones I have come across on road trips. The COLD ugh I'm over it too. We are looking to be unseasonably warm this coming week. 🙏 But loads of rain instead of snow forecasted. Soup bean and skillet cornbread for dinner for us. 😊
