Playing MATCHMAKER in the SHEEP barn. ❤️ | Vlog 662

[@jonesfamily9119]

Sandi.... you bring joy to me every time I see you and your fleece family! You are an amazing human! P.S. ..... has anyone else noticed her channel growing exponentially?! Wasn't it just a few months ago she was getting close to 500k subscribers and now she is getting closer by the day to getting that golden play button! You deserve every bit of it Sandi! Thank you for all the time you spend recording and editing for us. All that time and hard work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated!

I love Willow. I know she is old enough to breed but I started scream "No Willow Run your still to young to be a Mama." My 17 yr old busted up laughing and replied "Mom it's just a sheep." One day I pray she will understand. Lol Fingers crossed Miss Willow has beautiful mini Willows.

[@FeatheredLife]

Lambs running outside the pen, cracked me up. Especially the little one laying down by the gate. "If I curl up tight you wouldn't see me." They always find that one weak spot and jet out of it. LITTLE STINKERS. Have great weekend Brock family.

[@michelledavis7333]

I love willow so much and all the pretty Tunis's ewe's you have. I hope all goes well for you in this next breeding group. I love your channel so much I click on it soon as I see one that pops up. We don't see a lot of carissa, but I think she needs a big thank you from us for all the help she gives you. I'm not sure you could do it all by yourself and still have a you tube channel. THANK YOU, Carrissa, from me for all the help you give Sandi and all that you do.

I know it looks chaotic and probably feels like it a bit too, but I really love watching you move the sheep around and changing pens. I just think it’s so neat how your barn is set up to be able to do that, with the different openings and gates. My crazy organizing brain loves it for some reason. 😅

When Kinsey was helping round up the last of the escapees, I could hear Cammy saying, "Lie dune." 😂

Sandi, you have a little brownish one the number on it is 91 I love her so much, she is so adorable. Thank you for sharing!

[@marywillsussman4321]

I can relate to the sheep noises changing and knowing something is up. My friend from Ireland had just come in from doing chores for me(my Christmas present) and I heard the bahs of what I think of as"look the gates open" . Sure enough the gate was not secured properly and the sheep were spilling out of the opening and Zorra(my Corgi) and I were out the front door to convince the group this was not the right move. Luckily , it worked and I yelled at them" Hey what are guys doing". They looked at me, Zorra and headed back through the gate. My friend said "how did you know they were breaking out?" I told her it is the tone and timber of the bahs. When they have found something good in the field to eat I hear the same bahs. Love seeing other women working with sheep you are awesome!

[@traceyolekas9607]

Nothing better then watching the snow fall outside and watching Sandi and the 🐑

[@com2375]

Same here. We got about 4 inches since 9pm last night.

[@lash1814]

Sandi, I've been watching you for around 2 years. If I was younger I would try to do a sheep farm, but since I'm on the downward slope of life, that's not feasible. My best friend's dad was a sheep farmer 40-50 years ago. I enjoy watching you, you're heart warming and inspiring. Please tell Karissa that I'm so impressed with her as a human being as she has such dedication to you as her employer and also as a friend. I'm sure she has a heart of gold. Her family should be very proud of how that girl turned out.

[@amecocoa3829]

Another reason I love you Sandi, you care about the enviroment your flock is living in. You and Carissa keep it clean. Thank you for taking the time to share.

That really is hard work and you make it look easy to people who have no idea or really think about it. I can not even imagine. And it is always so wonderful to have them cleaned out.

[@catherinedavis9538]

I am definitely obsessed with following you. I’m retired, 69 yo, and wish my nurse self could come during lambing season to help out ( at no fee of course).

I thought that they would. Sandi you are so good with your animals. You look after them so well, and Carissa along with you. It's impressive how you both keep it all running so smoothly. I admire you both immensely. God bless you both ladies and all those you love. Have a wonderful weekend!

So much logistics involved. My tech brain kicked in when you said the flockwatch folks were coming to help transfer your info over - please be sure to do a backup of your old data system before moving it over to the new.... you know - cuz shit happens and you'll never regret having a backup.

I REALLY hope you keep Teddy around!! I can just imagine all the pretty red babies she could have!!

[@phyllisscroggins7725]

Good Morning Sandy - When I retired I started volunteering at our county History Center. I have learned the importance of saving materials devoted to a specific topic. In years to come people will be wondering about life in year 2023 - how many sheep did Grandma raise, what did she feed them, could she really drive a tractor, did she really climb all the way to the roof to fix something, did she love her work, etc. People get so excited when stories concerning their ancestor's is found. When the US celebrated the Centennial the counties were encouraged to publish a book on history of each family living there. This was accomplished with great success. These books are huge and filled with information and continue to be sought after. Sometimes a second book was published to complete the history of the area. So, what I am building up to is this - You have wonderful video's that tells your story of life in Ontario raising sheep, your husband's work with sustainable crops, and your son and daughter. I hope these videos are archived for the future use. When my father died he progressed through farming with horses to tractors, installing electricity on the farm, milking cows by hand to milking machines,etc. People love these stories. So, I hope you can safely save the material you are documenting. Not only are you educating the current population but also the future. Don't sell yourself short. You have wonderful, informative, actual lived experiences to share. You live in a very progressive area with many talented people. Don't lose your history. It's too important. Stay safe - Phyllis

[@johnniekilgore9413]

I agree whole heartedly. A lot of my family history was lost because my grandfather and his brother ran away when they were young teens and refused to tell thier history. All we know is thier father remarried after his wife died and the stepmother was mean to the two boys and they ran away and refused to talk about it. So we don't know anything. Granddad and his brother changed thier name so we can't trace them. Both passed away years ago. You do such a good job , love you.

[@mrssausagegravybiscuit9597]

Welcome to the weekend. Thank you for doing these videos Sandi, we all know how busy you are and to allow us to see what you do from day to day is such a joy, but a pain for you to edit and post. Willow looks so small up against those huge boys, hope nothing get broke. Lol

[@ruthashcraft6679]

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the deep litter method of keeping the barn warmer in the winter. It was very clear when you were cleaning the little bit today and all the heat that was coming from that pack. Kinsey just wants to work and she wants to please you so much

[@dd3wc]

Another breeding, which will eventually lead to sleepless nights for Sandi! All part of the job!!!! I'm so excited to see how Willow makes out as a Mom. And yes, she is so tiny compared to the other ewes. It's also neat watching the interactions (sans actual act of breeding) between the ewes and rams ... easy to tell 'em apart when the rams aren't sheared. I always enjoy it when you clean out a len for some reason ... there's something cathartic about it I guess! 😁 So much to do in farming, whether it be a crop or livestock farming. Thanks Sandi and I look forward to the next VLOG!

[@Nyquil5]

I feel a bit sorry for the first few ewes who go into heat. Talk about attention over load!!! Watching the escapee lambs reminded me of the times the horses would escape. It usually was the middle of the night and raining. I'd be in bed and hear the telltale clopping of hooves coming down the drive. Many "barn words" were uttered on those occasions!

[@jenniferp5916]

Wow, musical sheep!🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶 I hot confused, but I know you know what you are doing. Kinsey's was a help, saving you some herding and extra running about!🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐕

[@patopfer4355]

I told someone that I watched Sheepishly Me vlogs on KZbin to relax. They said (using a decidedly snippy tone of voice) that they watch 60 Minutes. Uuummmmmm, I did not say it but I did think: How can you relax while listening to stories of murder and crime!?!? So I did suggest that they watch lambs leaping and listen to sheep telling their stories. Sandi is soooooooo much better to listen to than someone who has to talk about the horrors of crime and scandal and murder!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sandi, you go girl! Please keep on keeping on! Your work is very hard, you spend so much time editing and filming your fluffy flock for us. We want you to know how much we all appreciate your efforts on our behalf!

Border Collies don't get tired lol. One of the reasons I REFUSED to get one when I was looking for a "herding" dog even though my mom kept pushing me to get one.
