Shout out to Mark. He is a rock star fix it man!

I'm glad you got the milk machine that should help those lambs to get more nourishment there by hopefully increasing growth on par with the twins. Keeping fingers crossed! Please stay safe and sending hugs to you and yours 💜🙏🤗

6 years later and the Nanny is still going strong. Maybe the best investment ever. Good job, Sandi.

I’m sooo glad you posted this video about the Grober!! Sooo cool!! Saves babies and work! Really good video!!

If we were having that many high order multiples, I would be purchasing one of those machines too! Or dorpers usually twin, we will have 20-30 sets of triplets per year (we have 600 ewes), and once we had a set of quads. And I like it that way. Getting my bottle lambs to market weight is such a crapshoot. Half of mine seem to do well and the other half just forever lag behind until I finally get tired of coddling them and we just sell them to get them gone. I can't figure out what is the deciding factor in their growth either. They're all raised the same. I don't raise a ton of bottle feeders (maybe 20 a year?), but they are so.much.work. Plus, I develop favorites and get too attached and try to convince my husband that we should keep them as pets, haha. Never works! =(

Cool Sandi. Got two just like it. Each Machine can hold up to 200 lambs if it has to. I clean the sensor in the cup twice a day. Great machines. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.

Good piece of kit. I'm currently doing the bottle feeding method at home and yes it's hellish time consuming to give them enough. Bit of a tip my father taught me to get lambs onto pellets or hard feed better, tip in dry milk powder and mix it into the pellets, the lambs already like the taste and go at it better, great vid as usual 👍

Some great work out of Agriculture Canada when the arcotts were being developed...7 to 9 kg powder per lamb. From France - lambs should be ready to wean when 2.5x their birth weight AS LONG AS they're drinking water and consuming some high quality creep (25-50 grams/HD/day)... doesn't seem like much but their consumption really kicks up when the milk is no longer there. We use these guidelines with our extra lambs and have very good luck.

I love watching your videos. The little room looks like the tardis from Dr Who

always good to get them feeding asap

At the start of this video it didn’t seem any different from the start of many because I was used to seeing the nanny, much better name than the outhouse, lol.

Great looking machine, funny story for you Sandy we called the bottle lambs PITA's, Pain in the A@@!

we have okay soil in jamaica, I usually have a drum full of white dirt that we call Mall, not sure how to spell it or the real name, but it look like powder chalk. they sleep in the drum and mess it up all the time even when i put something that they can only fit their head, they figure out a way, and enter into it side ways, they would stand comfortable with 2 foot in the drum and 2 out, they cannot get all 4 in at the same time.

I see Kenzie in the background getting in trouble. :)

Ive wanted one of these machines for some time. I don’t have enough bottle babies to sustain the cost and, the big thing, we are off grid and i cannot determine the electricity requirement. Within the next couple years I will be increasing my flock from 125 to 3 - 400. I will need something like this then. I’ve called Grober and asked the electricity needs but no one seems to understand the question and reason I’m asking. This is still on my radar I’m so jealous right now

Aahh, the nanny was born 😍!

You are doing an amazing job. Do your suppliers of feed and supplements and automatic feeding machines have outlets in South Africa. I will really appreciate being linked up with them.

Hi Sandi I want to thank you about your great videos Also I want to ask what is the meaning about the drawing in the door 2:15

How much time and effort do you put in to genetics, such as looking for the perfect shaped ram or ewe? I know it's off subject from you vlog , but does the meat Packers get picky about length and build or is it more about getting the lamb to a certain weight and then shipping it to market? Thanks for the vlogs!

How did the lambs weights finish compared to the lambs on the ewes? Thanks

Hello, great video and great channel, I would like to know if you will be able to feed all the babies on such machine and benefit from milking the mums to make cheese or just simply sell the milk ? Keep up the good job that you are doing, I wish you all the best.

I would like to know more about the mechanical workings of the machine. Did you end up having to do insulation wrap on the lines up to the nipples? How much dry milk replacer does it hold? Why did you go with only two nipples?? Will other milk replacer work with it. How doest it worl, does it automatically make liquid milk after a certain amount of time or does it have a resavoir that after a certain point it automatically fills? And who cares if there are hateres out there. Your sheep your business not theirs.

I have a Forster Technik calf feeder. Wouldn't be without it. I now also have about 20 lambs to feed and the time I get a lamb feeder is getting closer and closer. How much did that thing cost in Canada?

I could have sworn I just saw you wearing braces if that's so wow that is my God I'm 47 years old and I'm scared to death to go to the dentist and seeing you wearing braces at your age tells me that I can do it it's not a big deal thank you

What where the end results like? Did they get to weight?

When are we going to hear from you again

My Comments are often late but in the last video you mentioned being judged. I do not like judging comment. People on you tube that are sharing their lives are doing their best and scripture says before you remove the beam out of your brothers eye, remove the p lank out of your own eye. Most of us have all we can do to keep our own house in order.

Is your dog suposed to be doing that watch 7:40 or around there

Hi from Azerbaijan. Thanks Sandi for sharing such a price less information. Now days we are planning to start work on new sheep breed cross Dorper with Finnsheep. As most of you know the dorpers has an excellent meet test and gives birth from 2 to 8 babies. Finnsheep can go up to 8. But normally they can give 4 easily. We hope to rich a target of 4 babies each time and 8 babies a year. Problem is once the sheep gives 4 babies they ewe start to suffer to feed them. That is why we plane to get Cow which has milk quality close to the sheep. So we want use this machine but not with dry milk powder but with cow milk. Can you tell us if this machine can run with original milk.

...🙂🙂🙂

Where are you

hi Sandi, I just want to ask you what med you give the lams a day or 2 after birth? or vitamins booster etc. anything that can help Thanks Robert
