Sandi - Thanks for the great video. While I'm not a sheep farmer (retired Lutheran pastor), I did find the way you talk about the information you shared on selling lambs to be good for my learning. Hey, everything in school isn't fun, but is good. Both you and Mark do a great job in your explanations. Blessings to you, Mark, and the kids.

I just love how the dog is all "Don't mind if I do!", and lowers its head into the bucket! LOL! 🤣😜

Thank you Sandi for sharing pure joy! 💖. Just one more reason why we love you.

So when you are fattening lambs or steers it takes a portion of the daily feed ration to keep the animal alive. Therefore if you can get the animal to market sooner you save money to get it to market.. You are managing the herd well as well as teaching non farm folks farm life. Huge thank you!!

Hi again SANDI A day at a time! One task at a time too. From start to finish so you don't forget and learn the hard way as you say! Really helps to do it that way and adjust time if you have a couple things going on to finish. Don't be so hard on yourself either Sandi! You work hard and do a great job. Even make a list or two and check each task off as you finish. Then overlook your day and list to see if all is good. Another great day with the sheep you love and the business meant for you. Hang in there Sandi cause tomorrow's a new day...

Thanks for the great content that helps get me through some challenging mental health issues, it gives me hope that anything is possible if we set our mind to it. All the best to you!! ❤️

just found this 2 year old video. not sure how missed it. love all the lambs and your videos. God bless

I find the economics fascinating personally. I have limited agriculture understanding (grew up just outside a city) and personally enjoy finance (my college major) so I really appreciate you talking numbers in your videos. I think its useful data for viewers who want to try and see the bigger operation picture!

Ah. My lamb fix has been satisfied. 😂. All the love from south of you in Indiana.

Love your videos. Can't wait to see all the lambs and what your day is like. Thank you for sharing.🇨🇦❤️U

I have nothing to do with farming but I do work in data analysis so I find this sheep math fascinating :-) Thanks for sharing!

Sandi, ,I just love your videos. I love how kind you are to the sheep and I love your personality. I know they are for food and I’m great with that but I still appreciate your kindness to them.

I can feel the cold radiating through the phone Lol Sending warm thoughts from Melbourne, Australia xoxo I think there was only 6 ready to ship.

Note to self, make sure all hoppers are closed before filling. Lol 😁 I think you shipped them all that were over 105lbs. How's that ? Am I close ? 😉🐑 Yup I'm that guy.

Freeze your nostril-hair cold. Yup, that’s cold. Have never been a fan of squeaky snow, that means it’s cold. Get 48” LED overhead (shop) lights above your handling system, they really put out a lot of light, with very small voltage requirements.

I like your honest review

These details are really good to hear. This is obviously very involved and an around the clock operation seven (7) days a week. Thanks for sharing! 👍

A video about the genetics would be awesome! The pros and cons of different breeds, their temperaments, ect.

Haha! Mark would hate me then. 🤣 I do all my numbers and paper work in 3 places. I have an app on my phone, a folder with info and individual cards for each sheep. 🤣

Thanks for showing the way to weight them. 15 will be ready. Please don’t feel embarrassed in revealing costs, we so appreciate you being up front.

Sandi, You got this! You have clearly come along way. and you work hard. Always keep your head up. I don't know much about the lamb business. But I do know when I see a hard worker with a dream. Again Thank you so much for sharing your journey with all of us. I personally am very grateful for the knowledge, the good & bad, and the joy. If we didn't have bad times we wouldn't know how good the good times actually are. Huge hugs.

I don’t own sheep and I never have but I love you xxx

Id love a video showing the recent lambs you really love and are considering keeping back, I can't get enough of the cute painted lambs for example ;)

I absolutely love watching your videos and seeing how you and your family are doing . Whenever I watch your videos I see you as a friend. I have chickens and I find it so satisfying being able take care of livestock/ chickens and use the eggs to help family and neighbors. Thank you so much for sharing your videos.

I love hearing the numbers, I’m thinking of starting small scale breeding, only have 10 acres. it’s so great to get to hear from someone, costs and management, equipment, husbandry, etc... I find it really helpful, plus lambs!

Hello Sandi, 700 lambs for 2019 was not bad at all. I hope l can see 1000 per year soon, a lot of work but pay offs are good as well l guess.

To be honest in Missouri (mid USA) we're really cold. We were like -17 c or 1.4 f. We're going to have a couple days of snow but I don't know the estimated amount. I hope you stay warm!

I agree with sunny, cold but not windy. I'd much rather be a little cold than having worry about rain and wind. Just a reminder that if it's below freezing, the mud is also frozen, and your boots stay clean and (generally) dry.

That was interesting, thanks for sharing it. I lovem to watch the little ones running around and jumping. God Bless.

I so appreciate you sharing your info with us. I have been watching your channel for about a week, and love what you teach. I grew up on a small multi-livestock farm. Sheep was one of the animals we raised, although not to the scale you do. I have my own homestead now, in my mid 50s, and am slowly building up what I would like for livestock, and sheep are definitely on my list!

Your barn and sheep are fab. These vids are so educational. Amazing i love them x

I really enjoyed watching your channel. I used to show lambs when I was in FFA and it really brings back some fond memories. I'm hoping to get a few ewes and a ram but I moved for Ohio to Florida and it's a big change so I'm sitting doing some research. We're all complaining about the cold today it 32 but I guess that's nothing compared to what your dealing with. Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing.

6. No any business has gains and losses. The death rate isn’t your fault nature happens

In 2019 the roof came off. That was right before lambing. A few ewes had miscarriages/ still born lambs. When evaluating ewes to keep and your overall numbers, do you consider the roof/ act of god? That would seem to be a stressful time that was out of your control and the ewes. That’s not something that would normally happen. I’m guessing you shipped 15 lambs to market.
