When do I help? (STUCK & MALPOSITIONED LAMBS) Vlog 314
Had a couple close calls over the last 2 days, but thankfully, I was here to observe and assist only when needed!!
It's been my goal this lambing group to not interfere as much as I typically do... especially since a lot in this group are lambing for their first time.
Ewe lambs can be easily freaked out, and associate trauma with their lamb... so I've been letting nature do the work as much as I can!!
Finally also had to wave the white flag with my engorged ewe... She just wouldn't let me milk her out to help with the swelling... and by day 2, the lambs were getting too weak to even fight for a drink...
You win some, you lose some...

Yell to my 4-year old that a new video was just posted! He comes flying into the computer room yelling yeah I get to see the Sheep and the babies. Yea my Sandi is on. He loves watching your videos. My husband's aunt and uncle have a sheep/goat farm and they were there all the time until the COVID-19 hit. My son's and their cousins were getting ready to show their sheep and goat for the fairs coming up but they can't now. They love their lambs and goats. Your videos bring them so much joy and comfort being able to see lambs again.

ashley our fair just cancelled here in Washington, but they’re going to have the livestock sale.

They decided to have the fair in my county in Ohio. I was so relieved because it's the one thing I enjoy every year but more importantly we need to keep our childrens interest in the animals and agriculture. It's so very important we don't lose any more of our rural farmers and give the kids the incentives to strive to keep that going! When they were talking of cancelling our fair I was heartbroken for the kids that put so much work into it! I was elated for them that my state didn't cancel it!!

Thanks for Helping Mama deliver the Newborn. She looked like she was asking for Help. 👍
When the lamb that you had been tubing started drinking, my heart was overjoyed!

As Sandi says "Milk is magic!"
The markings and coloring are so adorable on this group of Lambs. I'm glad I don't have to decide who goes and who stays. 😍
I always get a little chuckle when I watch your videos with CC on because when the sheep bleet and bah it comes up as “applause “
I love that really deep, gentle noise mum makes for her babies. It's a lovely noise.
I just love the painted lambs. Watching them run and jump just fills my heart. You do such an excellent job.
This was a bit longer VLOG than usual, but it still left me wanting more! Thanks for helping me calm down and enjoy my inner peace (so relaxing...).

To bad you can't get the birds out of the barn they are so loud.
The Rideau ewes should produce more milk because of the East Friesian influence . That will influence the weaning weights . It will be interesting to see if that advantage persists to market weight .
Sandi's "hellooo" to newborn lambs would make a great text message notification 😁
I feel so sorry for X. Don't worry girl - it's less work in the long run - or short run in this case. yikes. Love the babies, love your videos. I must confess I now have every cute stuffed animal sheep I can find and getting more. I have my own herd growing. lol Hang in there - you are an amazing woman. I am in home taking care of my 92 year old mom - you are an inspiration to me and your sheep are a joy. Thank you so much.
Your incredible how much you care for your sheep. Thank you for carrying on vlogging, I know how there are people out there always ready to bad mouth people, but you are not that person ever, ever. I really look forward to seeing you do what you love 😍
I just love watching the lambs running and jumping and running back and forth💕💕
They grow so fast! I love that you can track all that information and you can compare them to other groups. I just love when the mamas and the babies snuggle.
Springing lamb stampede. I love when they’re bouncing with straight legs. That cow print lamb is so easy to see. Cuteness overload.

I love how happy you are to see the lambs, no matter how many, I love your big happy smile and when you say “you had your baby!!!” Or “ hello, welcome” “you having a baby?” 🤗🤗🤗
So proud of you Sandi for not stepping in unless you really have to. You are sticking to your goal!
Those babies running back and forth just warms my heart and I can't stop smiling. Cuteness overload for sure. Blessings
I enjoyed this video so much today. The pace seemed calmer than the usual, and I needed that today. To see the lamb who needed tubing finally drink was wonderful!!! You always know what's best for your herd!! My days are complete with Sandi and her Sheep!!
I love it when the village gets involved :D When I bred cats some of the dads used to be very attentive, and aunties got involved too once the kittens were a bit older. Lovely to watch them all helping
The Running of the Lambs. It is so Cute seeing the Babies running back and forth. How Fun! 👍
And here I thought from the thumbnail that the ewe was screaming....and she was only yawning! 😉
Little lambs are the cutest, when they are jumping around and playing together i melt!
Sandi, I have been subscribed to your channel for some time now and really appreciate all the work you do to get videos posted so frequently! I would like to say that these are your sheep, your farm, and if you feel that you need to intervene when a ewe appears distressed then do so. It is better to get involved when you are not needed than to stand back and potentially lose a lamb or a ewe! Do what you feel is best for your animals and don't worry about the nay-sayers.
You can just tell how much the ewes like & trust Sandi in how they seek out her comforting presence & assistance when needed at times.
How can you not smile watching the baby's fun and jump! This group of mom's and babies are beautiful.
I absolutely love watching the baby lambs running and playing with each other! They were so adorable in this video in the short clip of them running back & forth leaping, testing out their new legs! lol 😆

The Running Lamb show. Two thumbs up!
I love to watch the little ones run back & forth & jumping.🐑
Oh Sandi...how much I love and appreciate these lamb races...and Hereford Harry is just gorgeous...there are so many lovely lambs in this lambing group...they look to be a good size...I am so glad the one whom you had to tube is now feeding for itself...well done you...love from Scotland...
The baby lambs are so CUTE! When I see them run back and forth, it reminds me of cartoons in the 40s and 50s. They had cartoons about, Little Bo Peep tending her sheep plus other cartoons with lambs. They are so sweet, and innocent. How can anyone not love lambs. 🤫 I had lamb chops for dinner. They were delicious🤫
I watched for the lambpede. Was not disappointed.
Sandi- Lambs are one of the cutest livestock when they are first born in my opinion!
Loved my visit with you Sandi. So many miracles every day. Ewes and lambs. Babies the succeed in drinking! Lambs bumping into camera.😆 Lamb-pede!😍❤ Thank you dear one for all you do for your lovely sheep and sharing the experience with us.
First Thought Right! I’ve Realized with Age that the ideas that I think of and don’t act on, I always regret. A bit of advice from a very old Lady. God Bless You Sandi I adore your Videos🐑
Great job!! Hope the rain helped the crops. This lambing group is so beautiful.
LOVE the lamb races, so adorable! Makes me giggle every time. :)
The markings on the Lambs are gorgeous!
You are doing an amazing job Sandi.Thank you so very much for sharing yourself and your Sheep with us. Stay blessed 💖
I could sit and watch the babies run around all day! And their little tails flicking when they eat!! OMGOODNESS!! Lol
Good morning Sandi, talked to uncle about your engorged ewe. He said to milk even if she doesn't like it. It extremely painful for her too, to be that full and no release. He also said you can freeze the milk from her for up to one month or use it to supplement other lambs. He will do it in pinch and if he has the time. Time I know is the biggest factor having enough time for anything besides breathing that is. Haven't seen Mark post in a while, I know that you said in another video, that he is battling army worms in the wheat fields. They aren't any fun and destroy crops in NYC second. Much love.....

Everytime a new lamb is born, the excitement and joy on your face it's like the first time everytime. You really enjoy what you're doing. Never loose that!
Is it just me or is this lambing a lot let stressful than the last one lol the running of the lambs is my favorite tho! So cute!!!
That was great Sandi. Beautiful babies. God Bless.
I like seeing the daily lamb count.
Mrs X keeps checking on all the new lambs.
These beautiful babies keep coming..
The coloring of that black and white lamb is gorgeous!
I am having a rough morning, so I came on KZread to see if you had any new posted videos. This popped up in my stream...it was the universe answering my need for some Sandi and her sheep.❤ I realize you are beyond busy, but I was in need of the "Baby Dance". I could use a whole entire video of just the "Baby Dance" for days like this! How can you stay down when can watch baby lambs so happy to be happy!❤ It amazes me how much difference between this lamb filming and your new videos. You are a natural at this and have only grown bigger and better. I'm not sure how old Marge or Big Momma are but I am sure one of them has her 30 seconds of fame in this video.❤ I don't know the difference in the breeds, but you seem to have more black and white ewes in this video. The little dalmatian looking lambs are so adorable!
Peanut has spots like a cow. Should’ve name her Cow it’s soo cute!
I just love your videos. Keep them coming my friend. So cute how excited you get when they are having little babies lol
I just love watching the babies run and play. So glad that little one was taking a bottle. I feel so bad for that mom that has the engorged teets. It must be painful for her.
So many beautiful color combos and patterns!
I love the painted lambs and their romping around slays me!
I find Watching lamb give birth is educational. keep up great work
Oh my heart is melting so sweet almost a stamped lol I love the black faced ones so much they have the prettiest babys
Those little Babies are Absolutely Precious. Tell Mark we sure miss seeing his videos. 👍
Good job! They always need you
So cute to watch lambs prancing about!
The random running and hopping just makes you smile..and if it doesnt. Your heartless
You are so loving with LARGE FAMILY.
I am not a farmer in the least, but I absolutely love watching your channel. Your smile is infectious and I love how real you are throughout your hardships. In reality, I don't watch this channel to learn about lambing: I watch it to be encouraged. (I also watch it because I love seeing the lambs!!)
Asleep at the teat... what an angel ❤️
The baby you were just bottle feeding his do eyes beautiful beautiful baby good job mama
Watching the lambs frolic is so cute, funny and entertaining
Hello Mrs Brooks you are sure is a very good job on them sheep's God blessed you and your husband also family

What an interesting mix! Make sure your fences are high, Shetlands, if they feel like it, can bounce over four foot fences with no problem.
Sandi-- Have a Great Day
that baby is beautiful the blackish and greyish one.
I love to see the babies frock and play. So sweet
You are so cute!! I love your chanel. God bless you for the work you do.
I noticed that the IDF group had the little lamb. Since it was a small group of ten, that probably pulled down the average.

So was the 25 lb. ewe. I think they just don't do so well weight wise it seems. Perhaps it has something to do with the way the genetics are mixing among the different breeds...

@@aurorarowley7310 that's what I came to comment; 2 of 10 is a big part of the percentage. I wonder if there were more between the 25 and the 29 in the other group? I wonder if there were other commonalities with the small ones? I have a small sheep flock and never weigh them so I have no idea why this interests me so much, haha.
Mommas seem to be doing alright so far. Just a few bumps on the lambing road.
Phenomenal how mom takes immediate care of the new born. Did not know. Thanks, Sandi.
Sandi!!! Keep up the good work! Love your videos! 🧡
Hope you are having a great day! Thanks for sharing your life with us all. It brightens my day!
15:02 poor ewe, she's exhausted and in pain 😢
They are so cute running and jumping
Just love the little painted lambs!
Thank you for sharing a week with us I love love love watching the lamb races watching the mamas, and you know she’s thinking it’s her fault she saying to you you let the stinky boys in and this is all their fault. At least I remember that was my thought process while giving birth. Again thank you for sharing going to Instagram now
Lovely day Sandi , rain and life is a perfect result 🥰 !
Thanks so much for a great video once again, Sandi!!! Can't wait for the next one! How is Mark doing? It's been a little while since he put a video up...so I'm guessing it's super busy in the fields or in the battle of the army worms! Hope you, Mark, and the kids are doing great!
Oh my, those spotted lambs are SO adorable!!
Hi again SANDI Thinking there have been alot of twins this go around ?! Seems like it was a good week overall. Yay! Not so many left now. Yay! Happy you got rain for your garden also. Yay! Hang in there and keep paying attention to your gut/inner voice. So far you've been happy you have but for the one. Good job!! Thx as always for sharing and hope it's been easier and less pressure for you. See ya soon...
Beautiful babies
When it comes to growing plants to feed ourselves, others, and animals, stressing over the weather is no joke. It's why I now have rain barrels and follow Poor Will's Almanack. ❤
Hey really enjoying watching this lambing group, so interesting. Do you ever turn your sheep on to their rump to milk them? My sheep are way too feisty to stand for me if I need to milk them so I pop them on their rump which makes it easier to strip the milk out

Not a bad idea. If I remember right the shearer said putting them on their rumps kind of puts them into a trance. She might check on the pressure points Shearer's use to help control the sheep easier. Might be a way to keep them from kicking too much too. Or at least hold them their easier.
Like, whee, we can run & jump & kick up our heels with our new friends ! This is a fun new 🌎
Poor Sandi.....love it! Can I come and help? Free help......of course a nice time away from my kid!

Well pregnant sheep are like humans. If the weather is hot/humid they find it uncomfortable and their respiration rate will rise. They will pant a lot. The sheep will eat less in really unpleasant conditions. If the weather is freezing a lot of the ewes energy goes into keeping her body temperature constant and protecting her lamb. The ewes will eat more to fuel the body.
