Feeling Like an Uber. (Moving Sheep, Spreading Manure & Shipping Market Lambs): Vlog 172

Moving Sheep, Spreading Manure & Shipping Market Lambs
Another couple days of what my life looks like here on the farm. When I’m not in the fields, or lambing…its chores, observations, weighing lambs and shipping lambs.
I’m also on call for Mark.
And sometimes its literally just to be an uber driver.
#sheep #manure #lambs

When we feed our calves they are the same lol "this is my last meal ever" they drink their milk down like its never going to eat again. Great video! and thanks for the inspiration

[@carolmyers6678]

I need my daily fix of Sandi and the Veggie Boys.❤

[@Calla-sl8gd]

Hi Sandi! Good video, as always. I love watching you with your flock; that grin on your face is priceless. If Mark's parents don't mind, could you show us their chicken operation? Thanks!

[@SandiBrock]

I can see!

[@mrmaliviwemhlabagatyeni6072]

I love how you treat sheep. They look so healthy and strong. Keep up the good work and you are such an inspiration to me and I'm sure not only me but to quite a high number of people who love farming livestock.

[@IvyWhiskeyDram]

Manure uber - Manuber. XD I don't care how many times you show the routines, I just love watching you work! When do you get replacement Rams and for how many generations will you use a group of rams? Do any have names?Are they more stinky than the Ewes? (would love a video if possible)

[@SandiBrock]

Manuber! LOVE it! Great questions for a video!

[@patriciasanders9109]

Good morning. I love watching the lambs all lined up in a row while they are eating.

[@SandiBrock]

Thanks Patricia! It is pretty amazing!

[@jamipowell275]

Thank you so much Sandi! I want to go live on your farm and be your slave labor! :) I have only 3 sheep in a very urban area with no one to teach me so these videos are so helpful. When you replace your older ewes with your new younger ones, then what do you do with the older ones? Do you take them to the sale as well? What age do you cull them? I have an older ewe and a younger one and a nice ram. Wondering when my old ewe is too old to breed. Thank you so much! Praying blessings on you and your farm.

[@louann4992]

I truly hope you answers to all of your questions. Are you still sheep farming? If so have you add more? Do you still watch Sandi's videos? If you do I understand if you ask her questions or have a comment you want her to see do it on her Community wall. I saw someone post it once. Take care.

[@denniswilcox3093]

Do you ever dip your sheep? I was guessing because its a feed lot and they don`t go out to pasture its not necessary.

[@SandiBrock]

I've never dipped them...

[@lawrencekieffer6770]

Did hubby wipe his feet before hopping in the truck ? Please don't ask what mine looks or smells like. Interesting to note all animals are alike one small crack that you don't want them to go past everyone is out however you open a gate nobody can figure it out Thanks

[@labella9291]

I think it's adorable how happy Sandi is that her ewe lambs like her! I remember on one of her first vids, she said that she wanted a barn of 500 sheep that all loved her the way Ruthie did. She's not there yet, but even a few years down the line, her numbers of sheep that love her are slowly growing, and I'm not even talking about the Golden Girls and Tomatoes. I'm talking about Willow, Ruby Sue, even little Pita.

[@quackersplatfarm]

Love your videos- I've watched since you only had a few hundred subscribers :) Do the prices that you get at auction fluctuate a lot? Could you share how much, on average, you sell a lamb for? Do the buyers know who the producer is so they can look for your lambs at the auction? Thanks!

[@Lovagechannel]

Anybody else get excited to find more videos they haven't seen yet?

[@djturnerue]

me

[@mercswifejl]

Lol...watching this content really puts into perspective how sheep-like society has become. Crazy.

[@farmerluke4660]

Great new video Sandi, keep up the great work👍

[@SandiBrock]

Thanks so much!!

[@paigebanks7552]

Hi Sandi! Do your sheep and cows produce enough manure to cover your fields? You asked about content suggestions and I would love to see a video on the cows. I've been binging your channel and have to say you are amazing. I understand now the sheep barn designs and where the cows go outside. The organization required, health management, feed management, etc is unreal. Add your caring and loving attitude towards the animals and I am truly impressed. Well done!

[@SandiBrock]

We don't have enough sheep manure to do all our acres, but we use my in-law's chicken manure also. So we do get across the fields that are scheduled for manure (weather permitting). Not all our crops get manure each year. Maybe a third... and it gets done every three years.

[@witchyhobbit]

You're spoiling us with these uploads! Also love seeing that chicken operations almost everywhere look basically the same. Always kinda wondered where they stored all the poop from the hens. Also, you have some seriously adorable lambs. Looking forward to seeing what the next group gives ya! Hoping you have a seriously easy and profitable lambing with NO stupid lambs this time and amazing mothers!

[@Pietro482]

Sandi I have to say i admire you so much you love what you do loving and taking care of your sheep as well as your family!

[@bobmiller9018]

if everybody had a work ethic like you and mark the world would be a much better place!!! Great video

[@SandiBrock]

Too kind! Thanks Bob!

[@teriterrytarryttt537]

I loved this video Sandi. I really enjoy it when you explain things step-by-step. For a city boy (old man) like me it's wonderful to understand the reasons why you do things (like why you rearranged the pens in the barn), then how you do them, then showing the results. Even watching you do the little things like hooking up the trailer are enjoyable. I must admit I was hoping to hear Mark say "manure"! I hope things go well for you at your function. Cheers! :-)

[@SandiBrock]

LOL! he said another version of "manure"

[@terrisummerville2378]

I would love to see chickens too

[@marygoat8651]

It never gets old. You could film the sheep daily and I would never get tired of any part of it.

[@SandiBrock]

Awesome! thanks!

[@dennishettinger4469]

Sandi = Once again great video! I can tell you backed a trailor a few times . keep videos coming love them . thank you .

[@SandiBrock]

Thanks Dennis!

[@michaelcamacho2741]

I find your videos very informative and awesome.. I'm from the city n have no idea what is required to raise lambs. I love how you and This Farm Wife provide the details in plain English. 👍💪🙏🤙🇬🇺

[@SandiBrock]

Thats so awesome! Thank you!!

[@homey3051]

Morning from Wis, Well crap it looks like the cold is here to stay. I hope you got all your crops in already.

[@jamesrivis620]

The birds are deafening !!

[@cbboggs6459]

Sandi, The Lamb Whisperer.. That loading couldn't have been any easier . Another video demonstrating what is involved to get the food to the table. Also I realize how similar this is to pork production and what we did on our hog farm. Hope you had a great trip, stay safe. 🙂

[@michaelbayerl1683]

Baler twine is TOTALLY acceptable fencing material! No shame in that game.

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Manure happens 🤷🏻‍♀️ .

[@sifbouzidi4144]

nice

[@keithbrettell2058]

I've noticed over the last while that the production quality of your videos has improved significantly i.e. captions, graphics etc. and that has to take time to do, so I say just pick a schedule that works best for you and stick with it.

[@SandiBrock]

Thanks Keith! Just noticing a real drop in views over October... wondering if the content isn't what people want. So I thought I'd ask my people!

[@keithbrettell2058]

@@SandiBrock It never hurts to ask. Your book arrived at my local Indigo/Chapters, going to pick it up this afternoon!

[@gabbyrico4877]

Post as offten as it is convenient for you I love the vlogs and I learn so much from you, could you take us along to the stock yards next time 😇😁

[@SandiBrock]

Not sure if I would be able to take footage... I definitely wouldn't without permission... not that theres anything to hide... very happy with where I ship to!

[@woolybuck6852]

I don't know which smells worse, chicken manure or pig manure. But wow are they good for the soil especially when blended with cow manure. NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potash)

[@jessicabender5930]

Love your barn

[@BlondiNativeAme3]

When I was around 13, my dad taught me to back up with my side mirrors, that was over 50 years ago and I still only back up using only my side mirrors.

[@miriambertram2448]

New subscriber here. Love your videos. I subscribed to Instagram so I could get more

[@dionnerautenbach217]

What are the sheep other side of the boys

[@npknscrb]

Sandi: ready guys? Ewes: yeah, yeah, yeah Me: 😁😁😁😁😁

[@zombygrrrl9369]

I’m watching this and laughing about the back-up camera. I drive a 32 foot mobile video game trailer and I think I would quit if my back-up camera ever went out. Lol. Not that I did it for 30+ years, backing up with no camera, prior to owning the business. 🤣🤣 Nicely done without the camera!!

[@patriciaabell9393]

Was it difficult to send them to market at first? (Since you raised them from infancy?) Please be honest:-)...

[@janisedenton4242]

I'm a newbie and bingewatching from #1. This is the first time I've heard "thundering hooves".😂

[@maheshpothuraju9206]

Can you tell me the brand of sheep handling system you use

[@lisahatchett6125]

I love how you do so much on your farm your very inspiring. ❤️

[@maxpower1721]

TEBBE best shit you can get when it comes to manure

[@SandiBrock]

We agree!!! We love this unit!

[@BeakerInShortShorts]

It’s your telehandler but you get the brunt of the family obligation and entitlement. Understand sister, sad I can’t support you more.

[@nicki9408]

Loved the video as usual, would you ever film the auction process?

[@SandiBrock]

I would have to ask permission...

[@chrssondergaard]

My OCD LOVES that straight line of sheep when they are getting fed lol!

[@augustreil]

Hahaha ! Me too.

[@h.e.phillips4002]

Twine works for everything. Chain is for people with too much money and too much forethought. Great video once again Sandi.

[@djturnerue]

your the best......thank you a fellow Ontario farm girl growing up......miss the farm soooooooooooo much.....eh

[@kevinlesch9656]

I'm had to stop a few minutes in , I once asked my vet (after a gate fell over), "do all your farms use twine to tie gates?" She said yes every one of them! My father tells me constantly to use a chain but I recently had a calf jump a gate and get her leg caught, she was fine, but if it would have been tied instead of chained my knife would have been on that twine before you could blink twice! I think twice now on where I use twine vs chain.

[@SandiBrock]

I totally agree!!! I always get flack for having twine... and I always reply... I can cut twine!

[@frankglover1554]

I would like to see how the manure is taken out of the chicken house to the storage barn .. I've never heard of that .. We always spread , not storing it, when taking out of the house .. I live in a broiler gowning area in Texas ..

[@SandiBrock]

Yes... here in Canada, the snow creates times of the year we can't spread the manure. So storage is really critical.

[@markbutters5829]

After a day or two I'm sure those ewes lambs will realise their is more space. Great video

[@e.h.7434]

6:05 the sheep in the background just jumps over another 😂

[@excusesexcuses1772]

Please explain how does the homemade ramp save marriages

[@serendipity9649]

Lol, I imagine it would be exhausting & back breaking for Sandi to lift every lamb into the trailer, or make Mark, grumble & stop his work to help. So, it makes Sandi happier, Mark happier, hence marriage happier.

[@wendyashton5274]

You take down a fence and you’d think it was Christmas.

[@SandiBrock]

The best!

[@ashleyw7588]

I love how they thank you with the leaps and jumps, so cute

[@shepherdewan]

They're clever sheep

[@louiegorman3805]

Awesome video as allways you should try a long bunge cord on your guillotine gate so you don't have to tie it everytime you can just hook it

[@SandiBrock]

Good idea!

[@augustreil]

Are the 12 sheep that are over 105lbs for food ? How does sheep manure compare to cow ?

[@markymarc136]

Pretty soon, you'll need a bigger telehandler. it looked too small for the task of loading with that big of a bucket.

[@SandiBrock]

Well... he's been borrowing mine since his has been out of commission since we started manure in August! We've spent so much money on that thing!

[@johnwhite5897]

[@montejordan6457]

Good morning, I enjoy all your videos, they are very interesting

[@jimmyjohnstone7258]

Do you ever use the dog as a sheep dog for rounding up the sheep, or is it just a pet dog for the family?

[@SandiBrock]

She was supposed to be trained... but alas... I didn't get to it. So now a family pet.

[@jessica-ri2gp]

I drove a trailer 2000 miles without backing it once...I had so much “rage quit” happening when I wasn’t immediately good at backing it...it’s funny now...but I was mad that I couldn’t do the trailer, when I could back an ambulance up a 45 degree serpentine driveway!

[@katiannakidwell4801]

Oh gawd, the ear flops when they run. I can’t take the cuteness.

[@biancajackson6957]

Hi! Can I ask why you keep all your sheep and lambs inside? It’s not something that happens at all really in the UK so it’s really interesting for me to know how and why it’s done in the US? Thank you x x x

[@isabellamaset1381]

It depends on the farm, she has a large predator population so it's not really good for buissnes to have the sheep outside where they can be killed. Farms with a lower predator population have their sheep pastured or are an indoor/outdoor operation.

[@zfilmmaker]

I just got 50,000 ton of litter. I would spread every year but I can never find enough, sometimes none. Last time I spread all my fields was 4 years ago. Last year and the year before I was lucky to find 10,000. I was very impressed by the farm you bought from. I like that it was piled indoor and looks like it’s been processed and cleaned. I buy straight out of the coop which has stones and other debris. I then have to dump it in my galvanized heat house. It’s a lot of work.

[@tammysarrazin7078]

ok so what constitute a lamb is it under a certain weight or certain age ???

[@BillAndersonNS]

In a future video could you explain the purpose of your sheep dog in the barn? I imagine in the field they do a yeoman job of herding and controlling the flock. But in the barn what is the dog's purpose? I see it jumping back and forth over the wall, into the pen and then out and then in to the pen and then out. But I don't know if he actually has a purpose or if he's just playing around.

[@stevewarne2431]

I'm quite new to your channel and I have to ask... Are you're sheep ever outside?

[@honestjohn3881]

Her sheep live in the barn year round.

[@stevewarne2431]

@@honestjohn3881 so they are never outside on green turf and under blue sky?!

[@honestjohn3881]

@@stevewarne2431 The barn has an almost clear roof and clear sides (she throws curtains up at some point in the year), but no, they'll never experience grass. The reason is because of coyotes in particular, they are prominent in her part of Canada, and she said in a video that she is terrified of losing any of her flock to predators, so staying indoors was the safest option.

[@petedohmen8827]

You guys have such a nice operation, Teamwork and yet you are all so busy doing your own thing too. Awesome farm, nice equipment, and I did not know anything about sheep till I watched your channel

[@raincoast9010]

What if you put a mirror on the the front of the trailer looking down at the hitch so you could see it from your mirror on the windshield or when you were looking back? I think the dawg wants you to throw a ball. (i have had two Border Collies over the years). The Chuck-it brand of ball thrower is the best! (don't use the tennis balls but buy the better rubber balls. Love your posts and nice when you show Mark too. (yes i watch his channel) :)

Are these sheep being raised for meat, or are you selling them to other farmers to raise for wool? It seems you raise three or four groups of lambs a year, and that seems like a huge amount of a rarely seen meat.
