Lambing Again. | Vlog 37

I'm back in the barn! Another group is lambing. This episode speaks a little bit about a special ewe, Poppy. I'm also tagging, weighing and recording lambs that are about a day old.

I’m watching this on July 1st, 2022. I love watching these older videos. You forget how some of the favs come about, and there is baby popcorn! So sweet!! 💗💗💗

[@bridgetrobinson2001]

Bitty baby Popcorn!! I’m so excited that I accidentally found her video in your library. She’s adorable and reminds me of my special sheepy girl, Cinnamon!🐑

[@rennyc4685]

Bridget Robinson I’m going back through all of Sandi’s videos, too. :) I was so excited to see baby Popcorn!

[@labella9291]

@@rennyc4685 When she said the mommas name and that was her first girl baby, I was like OMG IS THAT BABY POPCORN!!!!!! I am also going through Sandi's old vids. It's a little harder because they took away sort by oldest, but but I don't care I just scroll down and down and down and down and down, lol

[@reneedeetjen2180]

Oh Sandi I’m so sorry that you broke your ankle! Unbelievable! So sweet of Mark to bring Poppy to you for therapy!

[@cRaZyLaMa84]

Thank you for being my inspiration and a guide.

[@serling3520]

OMG. I couldn't get rid of Poppy or any of her offspring after what you two have been through. Hugs.

[@kristinreynolds577]

I just found your channel and I am loving it!!! My husband and I are just starting out wanting to build a small farm. I appreciate you giving so much great advice! Thank you for all the info, that you’re willing to share! 😊😊😊

I laughed soooo hard when you were talking about the tail docking. I thought you were saying that their tail covers their "hole" 😂 but you were just pausing when you said it covered their "whole"........ back end. Don't know why i thought that was so funny but I guess either way they're covered. Lol

[@vikkisoderquist6013]

Love it!!! For some reason, to me lambing is calming. Tfs! Please stay safe and sending hugs to you and yours 💜🙏🤗

[@debbiehorn9558]

Would love a video of where to tag in the ear and how you don't rip it, never done it before and have seen some people accidentally rip the ear when the lambs jolt.

[@SandiBrock]

Good idea! I'll try to remember that in June when I'm lambing again!

[@cindyboard7816]

Is Poppy the mother of Popcorn?? The baby looks like a baby Popcorn!!!

[@IceFox606]

Yup! That’s baby Popcorn

[@CricketsBay]

I think Sandi moved Popcorn to the Golden Girls' retirement barn recently (Spring 2024), but she didn't explain what's the story with Popcorn, so it's good to see this video for a tiny bit of the backstory.

[@teresarouse1169]

I love how you ask the sheep questions.

[@kaylee207]

We lost a lot of lambs our first year doing sheep because we have them lambing outside and this year we will be doing lambing in the sheds/barns we have for them and the we are going to be putting them in there own pen with there babies! Last year we let them all together right away it wasnt fun.

[@meghanplamondon8639]

I love to watch these older videos and see how you used to do things and how you updated your techniques! Poppie! Such a famous ewe! 👍👍🐑🐑🐑❤️

[@SB-ll1tt]

So Sandi, do you keep all the females for breeding? Are the males kept separately and fattened up and do they get castrated? It’s different in the USA. What age do they go to slaughter? Sorry, so many questions. I just find this so interesting. We have a farm with land that lies derelict- my mind is thinking maybe sheep?!

[@SandiBrock]

These are great questions! I am going to do my next video all about how I run the operation and I will answer these there! So if you have more, fire away!!!

[@BeakerInShortShorts]

More than 2 cents’ worth. + great Alt exotic musicality.

[@thekatt...]

Loved the mash-up music at the end. Being housebound musta just been torture !!!! I know the feeling , I had am arm outta commission recently with carpal tunnel, drove me nuts not being able to tinker. Started "flossing" nerve exercises...cured it, mostly. Now, I. Tinkering away ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bethnewman8499]

We raise Boer goats and I can relate to a very small degree of what you do. I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I just started watching from the beginning. When I saw this one it made me think of the death naps our goats take. I’ve got to say I hate those naps. They always make me stop and make sure they’re still breathing.

[@jeremyrefshaw1481]

Great information do your dry ewes ever leave the barn?

[@SandiBrock]

Hey Jeremy... No, the dry ewes stay in the barn but just get rotated to another pen typically. Our ewes are housed year-round as we don't pasture. The farm is still predominantly a grain farm, and our ROI on that land is still captured more with grain. (many will argue that with me...)

Love you vlogs!!!!

[@SandiBrock]

thanks so much!

[@gavingustad3895]

when do i sell my feeder lambs

[@SandiBrock]

That's a decision only you can make depending on your system and cost of production. I ship mine around 105-110 lbs until they are 5 months old... Then they get shipped at whatever weight they are.

[@danishmushtaq7111]

in which tym u sharing ur sheep

[@SandiBrock]

I shear the sheep about 3-6 weeks before they lamb.

[@keithbrettell2058]

Love your vlogs! Would you ever consider doin' more than one a week?

[@SandiBrock]

Keith Brettell awe! Thanks so much Keith! I would love to do more than one a week... I just run out of time most weeks. Takes about 4 hours to edit then so I do that early morning and late night. Maybe if things slow down in the winter I could try to do more! I'm glad you've enjoyed them!!

[@thekatt...]

I'm not sure how you find time to do videos at all !!!

I have a sheep and she has had a flame so I am wanting to let her lame agine in like a year when my ram is old enough I get him in March to April

[@louann4992]

Why does it bother me so much that this wife & mother through out her videos let it be known & cocky abt how she doesn't like being in her home. What does it mean "she doesn't do well?" She doesn't do well I would think doing wife & mommy. Oh I think it's good she voices her dislikes but maybe done it before getting married& especially becomes a mother who needs to be in the home if not in a workplace to take care of her children well I guess you could have dropped them off babysitters I just think it's really sad. What would she had done if she had not married a understanding man who clearly brought wealth into the marriage? I've had my own issues with mental health. I've lost my husband, my oldest daughter & 6 months later my dad. You work through them with help of course. You don't use you mental issues to get what you want.

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

Don’t know what video you watched to get that idea. Sandi happens to be a great wife and mother to her children. She doesn’t use her mental health issues to get what she wants. She is extremely hard working and has been her whole life as she was born and raised on a farm, went to university, met her husband who is a farmer and they have done cattle, chickens and now sheep which he suggested to her. She likes to keep busy and being stuck in a house and not being able to do anything is what was driving her nuts. She cooks and cleans and guess what so does he husband and even the teenage children because in a family everyone chips in to keep things running. If you watch her videos you would see that depending on the season and what is currently taking place it affects how much cooking and cleaning gets done daily or weekly. Sandi does the sheep with very little help from her husband and children though they do help when asked. When they are planting, cutting hay, harvesting Sandi is out in the field working her ass off in addition to taking care of her sheep. No she isn’t a farm wife that stays in the house cooking, cleaning, and caring for her babies because that’s not what she and her husband decided. They both worked along side with his family with Mark transitioning to be a grain farmer while Sandi was running the chicken farm. She was a hands on mother and still is and there is nothing wrong with her working outside of the house to provide for her family. If I remember correctly the children were with family and along side their parents until they went to school and like most farm children they help out daily. She may not like to cook and clean, but she does it and they have mentioned that Mark loves to cook and is the better cook in the family because Sandi’s mother didn’t necessarily teach her how to cook because she was a farm wife who did everything you seem to think all women should be doing. I would have loved to have been able to stay home with my children, but it wasn’t possible on a teacher’s salary. When she broke her ankle in 3 places she wasn’t allowed to put any weight or pressure on it for 6 weeks and that’s difficult for someone who is constantly going and busy as a hands on sheep farmer. Before you start judging and criticizing someone who you have never met and who you obviously don’t really listen to when she speaks in her videos or on Instagram I suggest that you stop and either really watch and listen or keep your rude, disrespectful comments to yourself and worry about your own life and family.
