I absolutely love your channel. Being an urban girl, the work of farmers is just what I've learned in books. Seeing the massive amount of work and dedication to the animals and earth is really impressive. I love learning about not only the animals but about the equipment used in farming. You make it so interesting. Thanks to you and your husband I'm learning a lot.

I just stumbled onto this channel and I have been binge watching for about a week now. You are simply amazing, very real, and a breath of fresh air here. Love your family and all the sheeps! ❤️

Sandi, I want you to know that you’ve been my saving grace! To say that this was the week from hell would be the understatement of the century! You and your sheep have given me something else to think about. Thank you for taking the time to put these amazing videos together!!! I know you e had some really rough days through lambing and I just wanted to tell you that you have helped me beyond words!! Thank you for what you do!! Much love to you, your family, and your flock! Kristin from Oklahoma 💕💕💕

Hang in there dear, we're all praying for wisdom & understanding for you to figure out this milk dropping issue . I think your doing great holding back from interfering, but getting in there as needed it's tough. God bless, your doing such a great job. Thanks for all the lamb footage😍🙏👼💞

That happened to me with a single birth...he was stuck ...when I went out early morning he was barely alive but I saved him.....good job saving him!

That lamb is so relaxed pieced ear “meh” scanned and weighed “meh” tale docked “meh”

Even though it's head was swollen, it looked beautiful. I see why you get excited seeing the babies!

Sandi when you do the facts and figures for the lambing at weaning remember this. It is but a few short years ago you would have been doing double backflips over this groups results. This group is largely maidens and been as easy group to lamb. The single births have largely been easy on the ewes preparing for their future. I guess it’s a matter of looking at the big picture. Looking at all your results over the past 6-8 years will tell the story.

We should attach a gopro to Chrissa and do a fast forwarded video to music of all the stuff she gets done in a shift

Not a farmer, but I would really like a blog talking about the gallerger system and your data recording,to me it's super interesting. 😊

You saved a life today! You’re doing so good at lambing this group!! You should do a series about the analytics on the Gallagher! Also that first lamb you tagged looked so adorable!!!!!!!

Nothing more Precious than Birth. You are a Hero for Saving the Life of that Little Lamb. 👍👍👍

"Bighead" looks like she has HUGE eyes because of her natural "smokey eyeshadow". She's a looker. I hope her front legs get better. It occurred to me that if she was stuck and you had to pull with tissue already swollen and there already being tissue damage, and her shoulder is forward and her "knuckle" is buckled if there wasn't a bit of a nerve stretch. An injured nerve would definitely affect a lamb's ability to get its legs under it and stand properly. Idk what you might so for that, but that's what occurred to me when I saw her. IF there is some nerve damage/impingement from inflammation, even though she looks great and can feed, there would probably still be inflammation in the deeper tissues. If it's impingement from inflammation and/or stretch nerve from pulling perhaps some anti-inflammatory might help her get over the hump? 😕 I realize that this was on Thursday and today is Tuesday, but I still thought it was worth saying.

I can see a huge difference in how much assistance you give the ewes during birth from before...however if you need to help then do it and try not to second guess yourself...you're doing a great job and I'm always amazed how much energy you have each day!

Sandi you have the best smile, I love to see it when you're tending to the new lambs and you're happy!

Big head looks much better, i hope it can stand, walk and drink on its own soon! The lamb you were weighing in the sling/fish scale contraption you use was making the most beautiful baby lamb sound ever! It sounded so content, despite the fact that you were manipulating it. It's as if some of them, as well as some of the adults, know that ultimately, you are the MAMA, and you are only there to help them always! It's your vibes I'm sure, that they catch on to, and feel the love! You are so good at what you do, and they all know it and love you for it. I know this by just watching your videos, not even seeing it in person, but I bet if I did, I'd cry seeing them trust you and love you, even though you make mistakes and they're skittish sometimes. We can see the love, and they all can surely feel it Sandi! Anyone who comments saying something to the contrary are just assholes, and I wish you could always disregard their comments, or maybe even chalk it up to them having a bad day or a rough life, and they can only feel better about themselves and their situations by lashing out to others with negativity. Don't spend ANY time validating their ugliness by letting it bother you......you have an extremely special bond with all your sheep, because you are a kind and loving shepherd! Keep it up, I love to watch you all!!!

with the milk coming in late I would talk to the feed guy as is there a mineral missing that could help with that problem and throw the late milk problem past the vet - if all three of you don't have an answer it might just be the hot weather or are they all the same breed x mix as they all seem to be 2016 and it's a breed type issue with lambing in the summer

Teresa Brewer Sandi knows her mommy sheep and had such a great relationship with them. Heck the whole world. She is a game changer.

I watch because the sheep are too cute and you are too sweet. I have bad allergies so I could never be in a barn like that. The last time I was at a Fair I went into the livestock barn. Two steps in and i turned around and went back out because I was sneezing my head off. Watching you throw out the straw for bedding makes my nose tickle. I love animals and this gives me a chance to at least watch them and learn. I think a lot of people are fascinated by the machine you use for keeping data because it makes your life so much simpler than having to write everything down. I like watching you find new things on the Gallagher because you get so excited.

My husband watched your weighing the lambs and how your Gallagher system records everything and can produce statistics for you. He thought that was a very good system. He liked the stats you were able to show.

Hi again SANDI Lazy is not you! One thing for sure you're listening to your inner voice sooo good now and when you have doubt about something act on it. Then you have peace of mind if all was ok or fix whatever you can. It's truly amazing how fast the lambs change and grow. So darn cute is right!! You continue to do great this group and when done it will be interesting to get the stats. Enjoy!

Even though I own no live stock, I am still very interested in how you keep track of all the lambs.

You work so hard for your lambs. I'm impressed by what you do every day!

Thank you Sandy for posting and leaving on the tube. I went out this morning 3 ewes at once. Mom quit with 1 leg and huge head. I thought it’s dead. I had to chase grab leg and pull so hard. When I got it out and breathed and lived. Second leg came out breech baby but lived also. Ewe never had trouble before. All is well. I have watched you for 3 years and have learned so much but I was still calling on Jesus who is my ever present help in times of trouble and he is my faithful shepherd! I love sheep and I am blessed because of all you do Ps. My girls outside with free choice barn so I got my cardio today😂🌸💪🏻

The lambs are calling Mom. You are doing good Sandi. God Bless honey.

I’m so happy to have some Sandi therapy! You are so loving to your animals it’s market farmers like you who gives your business a wonderful name in how to properly care and raise market meat.

Hi Sandi! I started watching your channel a few days ago and I have to say I am now hooked. I haven't viewed all videos but I know I will. The one that touched me the most so far was the one of the little black and white lamb where you tried to fix its front legs. So hard to not get attached when they are so cute. Thanks for your channel. I have learned a lot about lambing that I ever wanted to know!

I've had two C-sections thanks to heads that size 🤨 , poor Mommy I know why she wanted to quit !

I live in Australia my father was a shearer for about 20 years and the number of fly struck sheep he came across in the Aussie summer was ridiculous, even though it has been common practice to dock tails a crutch the lambs to reduce the amount of wrinkles around the sheep's behind, because of the breed of sheep, they were mostly Marino's which are very wrinkly and often get fly strike due to build up of fluid around the back ends and the boy's just love it

Hi Sandi my heart melted when you were talking to the big headed lamb and said you can do it and it tried to stand up ❤ I know that you wish everything would come together all at the same time.. We all do. Im sorry you lost another lamb, some things are out of our control tho. 😥 You are so Amazing making sure your ewes are taken care of very well. I love your compassion for them ❤ NEVER give up we are all so proud of you and how you handle things!! Even in a crisis you do such an Amazing Job!! ❤ Big Head is proof of that ❤ Love hugs n prayers that the rest goes smoothly from Michigan USA 🇺🇸

My son was born with Erb’s palsy from a brachial plexus injury. Eventually, over time and after physical therapy as an infant, three of the five nerves recovered function. My son also had head swelling, facial paralysis, torticollis (neck muscle injury), plagiocephaly (misshapen head), and cerebral palsy. He is 12 years old now, and early interventions have corrected most of his challenges. The plagiocephaly and torticollis were corrected. 3 of the 5 nerves causing his Erb’s palsy healed (nerve pathways around damage) over time. He’s an A/B honor roll student who loves to dance and play video games. Sandi caring enough to intervene with stuck lambs, pushing them to walk and drink, is changing their quality of life. Just as great L&D/NICU nurses, therapists, and involved parents improve the quality of lives for children with birth injuries.

We had a goat kid with similar birthing damage. We strapped it straight so it couldn't knuckle over and hoped for the best. After 3 weeks she was able to walk very easily with a slight residual limp, which was way better than the alternative if we had not intervened. Hope the little lamb has similar luck with success 😊

Good morning! I'm glad you were able to help the ewe and lamb.

Bloody well done with the big headed little fellow .

I might have heard that sound 45 years ago Sandy but I never forgot it either.

Appreciate your transparency. Your ewes not coming into milk...water and weather. Are they getting sufficient hydration? That is hard to track. Weather...warmer weather could negatively affect the ewes. Is it a trait of the particular breed? So thankful big head and shoulders (shoulder distocia?) made it. Remember we live in an imperfect world...you are a good shepherd.

It always makes me wince a little when the ear tag goes in, even though it doesn't seem to cause them much pain at all. But I love the little sling you put them in to weigh them, even if they don't see to care for it much. :P

Most 4-legged animals get frightened when all four of their feet are unsupported. They don't like to dangle. I had rabbits, and you have to put your hand under their hind legs when you pick them up, or they'll kick and struggle and maybe even fall and get hurt.

I know what you mean about the tendency to overcompensate both ways ! That lamb with the big head looks to have some shoulder dystonia, hope it resolves

I'd love to see more of the statistics! I love numbers and charrts are a passion of mine. Hearing the numbers at the end of lambing always brings me so much joy :D

I like watching you tag, because of those adorable baby faces!

Thank you so much Sandi, what a brave woman you are. I can't wait till the next video, I look forward to them so much. I have learned so much from you. Keep up the good work! Hugs and Love from Goderich. Blessing to you and your Family !

You're a great shepherd Sandi

Hi Sandi - While at a Retreat some yrs ago, we did an exercise where each person stood alone in the ctr of the group. 1st the group members were told to tell the person everything they saw wrong w/them. Afterwards, the person had to repeat what they'd heard. Each only remembered the most horrible things that'd been said even tho' those comments were the smallest part of what had been said. When the group then peppered them w/compliments, they only remembered the very minor 1s. You aren't the only 1 who is cut to the heart when ppl are nasty, it just takes a greater belief in yourself & the WONDERFUL, CARING, LOVING woman you are & sometimes that can take time & really listening when the ppl you surround yourself tell you just how much they love you & how happy they are that you're in their life. As for the Gallagher, The Hoof GP uses 1 to track the number on the lane cows they treat, what was wrong w/them, what he or "Craigy Boy" did to treat, if it should be seen by a vet, what the farmer needs to watch out for, when or if they'll be back to look at the cow again & if they've discovered something not hoof related that needs urgent medical attention. They give the farmer a copy & have a cc for their files/billing. It was interesting! Be kind to yourself❣ Cat 🐾🥰 🤗 🐑 💖
