A year to remember, a year to forget. ...saying goodbye to 2023. | Vlog 752

Wow... 2023 has finally come to an end.
And this year really put us through it... But we survived!!
Although it didn't feel like anything worth celebrating happened, SO much did. The biggest accomplishment being Jess fighting and BEATING cancer.
The rest just seems so minor in comparison.
But, given any other year, these things WOULD be celebrated... and maybe deserve a moment here on the last day of 2023 to do it.
Numbers were surprisingly up on the sheep flock this year which credit needs given to past me for setting up management systems that when faced with crisis, help fly the plane in auto pilot.
The channel also hit 1 million subs this year, which honestly, I've been sitting on the plaque for months and am just now opening it with you all.
Thank you for being here this year.
For letting me be, well, sheepishly me.
Wishing you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

    I was so engaged with what she was saying, the tears didn’t start until she put the recap shots up! 😭😭😭😭😭 🥲 Very impactful for me. This is my very most favorite channel!🥰😻😍 Congratulations, Sandi! Very deserving for all you do. It has been a year of struggles and the happiness of it being behind you now and Jess regaining her health and getting back to living her life is beautiful. I have a child who is a cancer survivor 20+ years and was going through chemo and radiation as I was loosing my Dad to his second battle with cancer. Cancer SUCKS! HAPPY NEW YEAR to All the Brock family and ALL the subs!!😻 🇺🇸MesquiteTX

We found a special person that we identify as worthy of our emotions, our time, our desire for your success.

    Hello Sandy, Congratulations on your You Tube Award. I am an 80 year old grandmother who stumbled on your site early in 2023 when looking for something else (I don't remember which one). I have never lived on or even near a sheep farm but for some reason I was immediately hooked. I look forward to each and every post. I held my breath when the ewes were giving birth, laughed at the lamb antics, I cried when Ruby died, I prayed and continue to pray for Jess and her continued healing. I think it is the underlying love that comes out on your programs. I just wanted to let you know how happy your program makes me and I want to wish you, Mark, Jess, Mike, the Golden Girls, and Clarissa a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

    Dear, dear Sandi. You brought tears to my eyes at the end of this video. You are truly an amazing being who has taught us all so much. I love the sheep (lambs, ewes and rams … and the Golden Girls … and the poochies, too), the grain operation, the repairs to machines and people! And I also love the numbers P kudos to you for taking the time to track and interpret those numbers and then to ponder how you can improve next year. You’re amazing!! It’s wonderful that your YT channel could reach 1,000,000 subscribers while your family focused on Jess and the lovely Carissa could focus on your sheep and management systems. You’re a great team. And, please thank your family for being willing to be part of your vlogs and for showing us all what it’s like to be part of a truly loving family. May 2024 be filled with peace, joy, good health and prosperity. Yours in Gratitude

You're real, you're knowledgeable, your editing has become an art form (the two Sandi's still freak me out at times, but I love it) lol I'm a cancer Mom, so I understand how hard that was to share, and how hard it was to NOT share. I personally understood all your fears and tears... I felt it all over again and prayed constantly for your family. Congrats on YOUR award, we're so very proud of you!! Here's to 2024!!

    Your channel & your content means more to so many of us than you'll ever know as you got us through covid by giving us something to look forward to. We have fallen in love, not only with your sheep, but with you and your family. We've all been teary-eyed right along with you, Mark and Jack watching Jess go through the toughest diagnosis and treatment that anyone could imagine wishing we could hold each and every one of you in a tight, loving embrace. You've given us some chuckles with Mark's naughty humour and his accident prone antics this year. Despite all the hardships that your family has faced this year, there have been so many wonderful accomplishments - the cabin being completed, Jack buying his own home, Book Club, getting Piper, Jess beat cancer, successful harvest season, Carissa is the best coworker you could ask for (loved seeing her in this year's Vlogmas intro), and the golden KZread button was the icing on the cake, and a well deserved award. Thank you for inviting us into yours & your family's lives, showing us the trials, tribulations, and rewards of farming, being open and honest about what works and doesn't work for you, and for just being you - loving, caring, and charismatic. Proud to be a member of your flock!!

    Sandi, I have watched all of your videos and shorts. It the first channel i look at on you tube. What i love about your channel is its real! It not a performance or contrived story. You tell it like it is but with respect and humility. The love you show for all your animals shines so bright its like the sun. You share both good and bad, work and family. As hard as it was to watch you as a family go through Jess’s Cancer was, both heart wrenching and warming. I’m so very glad Jess is cancer free. Watching jess’s channel and her perspective of what she was going through, shows that she is a strong woman just like her mother. I envy your log cabin it looks so warm and cozy. My idea of heaven. If i ever get over to Canada again i want to make an effort to pop by and hopefully that’s ok with you, maybe feed some bottle babies. The lamb races are so fun to watch. That’s my favourite. Well Happy 2024 to you all and may it bring you much joy and prosperity. Just a fan Tink xxx

Non-farmers have no idea how hard it is to have time for anything else. Like setting up camera's, filming good angles, going through and editing footage. I know I don't have the time, as can be seen in my lack of video's posted. And I only care for a handful of livestock. Not hundreds. Congratulations grrl ! Much love from Northern Ontario ! 🤗❤🇨🇦

    Congratulations Sandi on your Gold Button it is so well deserved. I don't even know how I found your channel so many years ago, but I am so glad I did. I grew up on a small Pig farm in South East Queensland Australia as a kid and I just love watching small scale farmers producing such great quality animals with so much love and care for their welfare. I feel privileged that you, Mark, Jack and Brave Jess let us see a glimpse of your lives and Jess's cancer battle. I can't even imagine what it was like for each member of the family to go through this battle, I am sure I was not the only one who cried with you during this time, prayed for you all and rejoiced when Jess was able to ring that bell. I love watching the lambs doing their Ring Around A Rosy dance with the feeder. If I was working with those lambs, I would just be sitting in the pen letting they climb all over me and just love on them like crazy. The loss of one of the Golden Girls, Ruby was so sad, she however had the best life/retirement an animal could ask for, but I felt your pain, I had to say goodbye to my dog this past September and it was so painful. I am looking forward to all of this year video's and I hope 2024 is full of blessing and peace for your family.
