THE LAST LAMBS LEFT. (analyzing results of some bottom-end lambs...): Vlog 242

[@kens.3729]

NO need to Apologize about Anything. This is Easy for us to Watch because of the Volume Control on our Ear Buds. 👍

[@Zinnias2go]

😂 I had to turn down the sound...at one point it sounded like a kid throwing a tantrum 😆 🙉🙉🙉🙉 one was like screaming mad! 😜😄 I am sure you have learned to block it out 😉 or wear headphones 🎧

[@russse2793]

He sure was screaming mad, and they sound human. Made me chuckle. God Bless. Russ

[@alvaroakatico9188]

Yes they were mad, deep down they knew the end was near.

[@pinkythechihuahua3156]

Yeah the screamer! It's amazing at how each sheep has a different "voice" some of which are rather unpleasant. Some sing a beautiful song. I'd bet if we had to hear the sheep everyday, we would be driven crazy. Like working at Wal Mart and you have to hear the same blasted music on a short loop. Especially if it's country music and you like death metal!

[@jazznpercy]

I used to babysit toddlers during the service at a church on Sunday mornings. When they were dropped off, if one started wailing for mom then they all would. It was like they were trying to see who could be the loudest. That's what this video reminded me of. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@maliadelosangeles3232]

Sandi, watching your videos gives me a better appreciation of all your hard work and the process it takes raising lambs... Blessings to you all from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@arieyanaskye87]

They really aren't ever too loud, it's actually funny to hear a random screaming "MMEEEEEEEEEEEHH" , your voice overcomes all of their volume smoothly without having trouble understanding what you're saying.

[@katemroczka6375]

I'm only a few seconds in and look at those dramatic babies! Thank you for giving us a look into your sheep farmer life, I love the outlook and having the opportunity to see this from your point of view!

[@christinenanaguy1143]

I don't know how you do it Sandi!!! God bless you for doing all that alone! You are an Amazing woman!💪🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

[@dearlgraham3059]

Ok ........ i decided to go look around on the internet about sheep ......... YOU ...are everywhere ....... YOUR sheep setup is the best on the internet !! .......... YOUR shared info is THE best on the internet ....... i am surprised there is not more interest in sheep !!

[@freemanhochstetler9598]

I actually like listening to the sheep there’s always one that has a funny baaaa laughed quite a bit at this video. Love the videos 👍😂

[@pinkythechihuahua3156]

Did you hear the sheep with the LOUD mean sounding BAAAAAHHHHH. Like a grumpy old man!

[@isabellelamb3967]

Freeman Hochstetler it kind of sounds like “maaad”😂😂

[@freemanhochstetler9598]

Karen Shepherd - I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that heard the one that was the loudest. I just couldn’t stop laughing.

[@freemanhochstetler9598]

Isabelle Lamb - your right it did sound like maaaddd 😂😂😂

[@madelynnhass1353]

The information on the feed is super interesting to me! Different sheep, different nutritional needs. I mean it makes sense, people have different food requirements, but there is just so much more to it than I realize.

[@michics100]

I'd suggest u take some time and narrow those chutes so they can't turn around. Would reduce your stress.

[@sharazod989]

Sandi, I just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed everyone of your videos. I have never even been on a farm. I have no idea how I got here, but it has been a fascinating ride. I started somewhere in the middle, got so involved I had to go back to the beginning of your videos, which wasn’t all that easy, since I couldn’t get them to play in order. You are one amazing woman and never sell yourself short. Anytime you don’t think you are doing great, look where you came from. There is video evidence 😁take a look and you also will be amazed. From a real city girl. Farming is really back breaking hard work. Thanks for the experience 😘

[@grammadonutsquashdog431]

You are Iron-woman!!!! Let's see Ironman do it!!! Plus all the other " chores and perks" of being a woman in a man's world! Every time you feel down, watch THIS vid or one of you handling lambing with no sleep. You Rock!

[@robertlafollette8931]

It is fun to watch you when things go so smoothly, HaHa. You work your tush off there girl. Meredith lost her lamb and didn't know what to do, so she transported you. God Bless you honey. Jess looked so much like you on the feeder.

[@territ1231]

Im glad you wear hearing protection. We can always turn our volume down:)

[@dennishettinger4469]

[@tracychapplow5987]

Another amazing video thank you for taken us with you showing us what you do day to day really enjoy watching your videos and these sheep please keep the videos coming looking forward to the next video love you guys you are awesome take care god bless

[@denniswoodby6369]

You're an inspiration, Sandi.

[@gateway8833]

I really appreciate you giving your time and talent to educate us.

[@ADKEMT]

A few thoughts to make loading easier. Especially when by yourself. Can you lightly bed the chute to break up shadows. The bedding can then be tossed in an active pen and not wasted. Also, can you bribe with grain. Even if that means having them on just hay for the few hours to a day prior to loading. I worked on a family run sheep farm for a few years and those sheep would follow a pail over a cliff in the hopes of getting another morsel of sweet goodness.

[@cindyshipp4124]

I love your analyses of your crop going to market. You have a very nice handle on your production. I know it's hard work and you are so kind with the lambs and maintain your goals. I hope you understand how much you are appreciated by an old animal handler and others who learn from your videos. I've seen so much done wrong in the old days and have left several animal jobs as I felt I cared more about the animals than the owner. I use to block out the weaning kid noises also. Once again, kudos to you.

[@kenithburnett1111]

I know it's a lot harder to do your work and video but I really appreciate your videos always looking forward to watching thank you for sharing.

[@akaCONSTANTINE]

Lamb 1: Baah... Lamb 2: Baaaaaaaah... Lamb 3: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! 😂 That one lamb sounds like me when I see a spider in the shower.

Sandi I LOVE how your eys sparkle when the babies are born showers how much you love your animals.

[@npknscrb]

The lamb at 3:55 wagging its tail must be a bottle baby. It seemed so happy to see you. :) Now to watch the rest of the video.

[@npknscrb]

Ah, future Sandi looking out for you at 14:32. What a gal! Only rarely does future me manage to get through to past me. For me, more often past me looks out for future me and future me takes a moment and says, “thanks past me”.

[@amybumstead6475]

The sound of this video is hysterical! There is always one in the back that sounds absolutely ridiculous 😂

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

🙄 A sheep farmer apologising about the noise ?? 😂😂😂 You did great loading 'em up... NEVER let even one turn... but you know this 😂 Loving yer work AND yer commitment ...😇 😎👍☘️🍺

[@leisaawolf-tolotta2801]

Lolololol, the one weaner needs a spanking! Loved the one in the shoot with its head under(" oh, maybe I can escape thus way?") Keep them coming Sandi, love your flock, love you! I am definitely not a farmer, but would love to come help you for a day...i think I would be dead after one day😂😂😂😂

[@sharazod989]

No I would need an ambulance in the second hour😂

[@territ1231]

My coworkers and I called ourselves the Decades, we had each generation. I was the oldest. Someone had to keep us all in line:)

[@blakemama]

We were 3 girls. I'm the eldest. I'm 6 years older than the next and 13 years older than the last. My little sister was only 3 when I left for college. I repeated history with 1 girl and 2 boys. Daughter eldest, 6 years first son, 14 years older than the baby. At one particular moment in time, we had one in postgrad, one in the military, and one in middle school. It's like having 3 only children, just the way I grew up.

[@shannongraham867]

Hey Sandi, I love your videos. I know your frustration with trying to move lambs 🙄 But did you know that the Marweld system races allow you to narrow the bottom so that the lambs have a hard time turning around? That's what the extra holes are for at the bottom of those spacers. Just tilt the bottoms in and put the rod through. Hope that helps!

[@blakemama]

I'm no sheep farmer, just a viewer - but that sounds like a game changer to me.

Love this!!!

Serendipity, I couldn’t agree more!! Sandi is definitely a Boss!! 😊😊😊

[@hearhermccleary3154]

When you have your loading trailer parked perfectly, put a flag marked in the ground or a spot somewhere so you can use that as a reference point to always park perfectly.

[@katelynbray5531]

Those little lambs sound like they are yelling MOMMMMM 😂😂

[@marcyweisinger1537]

Love the one lamb sounded very vocal.

[@ArreisMorsCI]

I know some days are bad and some are just great. But you always push through them and come out on top. We love that!!! You're showing us all of the farming life, and who wouldn't want it any other way? Not Me!!! You make every day complete, whether it's a new upload, or I rewatch some older ones. i MUST get some of you and sheep in my daily life!! I've told you this almost daily now, lol, are you sick of hearing it yet??? From one Canadian to another, I hate the snow as much as you do!! I'm in Newfoundland and we get hit HARD, and each storm attacks me with massive migraine peaks, but you always help me through them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you Sandi, for everything you do for yourself, your family, your farm, and your sheep!

No need to apologize for the noise level.....this is REAL ! I soooo love watching watching your videos. I’m trying to catch up😂 Thanks for sharing your adventures ...... excellent content 👍🏼

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again SANDI You did it without help!! Yay!! That's a tough task by yourself. I've decided after watching for a long while the best thing to do when there's chaos going on is to keep calm focus on the problem and work thru it. Otherwise I can tell how easy it would be to panic and want to give up lose it or both! Calm in the storm especially when those lambs start their loud yelling and screaming. You really do such a great job Sandi! Hang in there! You can do whatever!!!!!

[@geezowie]

I think you are just about the hardest working woman I've ever seen. All those chores (and challenges) and you always manage to "git'er done!" I think maybe you need a cape. ;)

You had a struggle but you got them loaded no injuries or escapes so its all good.

Omg ive been crying with laughter at the screaming sheep... baah baah BAAAAHHH RRAAAHHHH hahaha its soo funny. Glad you got them all in trailer without to much disaster. The one trying to climb under the loading rail🤣🤣🤣🤣 .. i need a lamb there soo funny. Hope you and family are all well xx

[@cathyrodeheaver8694]

You said it. Is always different when working animals. We work cattle not sheep, but was feeling everything with you. Good job!!

[@RunningRoan]

Could you elaborate on “withdrawal” for the lamb you pulled to medicate? There are so many people who are convinced that there are antibiotics and whatnot in their meat. They need to hear a producer explain withdrawal and see that you’re responsibly holding them back. I love all your content! You’re doing a great job educating all of us!

[@patmccarthy5093]

Hi Sandi, great video from you and thanks for sharing. I am really impressed at the set up you have. The sheep are very well looked after and you are on top off all you have to do. It’s a lot different from the sheep farming we did back in Ireland in the 60s and 70s, and I have enjoyed watching.

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

I love the one who is screaming at the top of his lungs 😂🤣😅 !

[@FeatheredLife]

We call the "turn around lamb" the Judas. They will STOP dead in their tracks do everything possible to jam up the maze (handling system). I've had them literally take down one side of the maze and run like the wind. TOTAL STINKERS¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@KrikitKaos]

That's funny, considering a Judas goat is one that is trained to lead all the others with confidence wherever the handler needs them to go.

[@HannaFardew]

The stinkerbutt lamb was like "NOPE!! I wanna stay with mommy"

[@JustABit]

Love your content!!!! I was thinking that if you take horse stall mats and cut them to the general size of each fence of your shoots, drill holes in each corner of the mat to clip or tie the mats to your fencing. I was thinking a large karabiner clip would be quick and easy to install over and over. Hopefully the horse stall mats will durably narrow your shoots, but they can be layered depending on the lamb’s size. Every time I see you struggle with the shoot size I holler to you from California, “You need stall mats and karabiners!” LOL! Keep up the good work! Best wishes 🐑

[@budgiebreder]

An upgrade for the weeaning barn could be some strong overhead lighting at the handling end that you turn on when processing sheep. Like have alot of small lights directly above to theres zero shadows no matter the angle.

[@jackiefris5718]

[@tinajackson944]

Overall, You did a great job of loading those lambs. The end numbers were positive. You need to remember the mortality rate was due to the cold in this group. Maybe getting some kind of heating system just for this group. Also a larger water heater. I wish I had your energy. I look forward to your videos everyday. I even love the farming videos. I've learned so much from you and Mark. Love you Sandi🐑❣

[@1jmass]

Although you do show comparison shots of a few special lambs, I would love to see a video showing more little lambies comparing them from birth (as much as you are allowed to show, at least) to weaning. I know it is a lot of trouble, but so many of them become quite special to many of us.

Good video Sandi I feel for ya you was you was getting your butt kick their for a few but it's all in a day working on the lambs . Sandi tell me something when you sell dose yal market prices have a bearing on when you sell some what like selling cattle ? Daniel from central Mississippi be safe Sandi

[@mckenzie8104]

This reminds me of weaning our horses. Those weanlings get angry too.

[@colleenclem7337]

What are your laws and/or regulations for the state you live in for taking lambs to auction? Do they have to be vaccinated and for what? Do they have to be tagged for identification from what farm they come from? What is the average price per pound and is that live or hanging weight? Maybe show the auction side of your operation.

[@aussiefarmer6012]

Why not hinge the two wooden lift up panels in the lamb barn? Hinge them off the posts nearest the front of the shed. They will then swing back against the front fence. It would make your life so much easier and its a simple job to do.

[@joylumley6858]

Man that was rough watching you load by yourself. I wanted to get in there and help so bad. I did have to laugh at the one trying to go under the walls. I was frustrated at the one who kept trying to turn round and was getting stuck. The herd instinct in sheep is crazy. 🤤🤤

[@leslieb.1907]

Could you explain what it means to take the lambs to the sale barn? Obviously I’m not a farmer, and I know you explain things soooo well, that this might be a “teachable” moment for me and others not of the ag world! Thanks Sandi!

[@helenhodge-croom9635]

sale barn is just that...a barn where you drop off the animals to have them sold for you. usully it's an aution(highest bid*payment*wins the animal) and after taking their cut for selling the animals the power gets the rest. now if you drop off early you get charged feed but it's not a lot generally.

[@bobbates6642]

It is the second to last place the lambs will ever see.

[@haleroma719]
