ABOUT ME
I’m 32 years old and I’m a sheep farmer from Ayrshire in South West Scotland, which is why I have such a strong accent! I was born and raised on a sheep farm watching my dad who was the shepherd.
At 18 I went away from farming to work in the city (something I still do) and at 23 (2013) I decided I wanted to do something for some extra money so I went on a sheep shearing course. The hardest thing I’ll ever do was learning to shear sheep. [shudders thinking about it]
I shore whilst on my holidays from work for 2 years and then in 2015 my dad died so I decided to get my own sheep so I could continue working with sheep as it was something I loved doing. From there it escalated quickly from my first 4 sheep in my mum’s garden to now running around 850 breeding ewes.
I shore over 19,000 sheep this season in the UK and have my own shearing run which lets you see many different farms in the summer months.
A few years ago I bought myself a sheep pregnancy scanner and have been building up my run since then.
I watched a few farm vlogs on UA-cam and decided I could have a go and now here we are!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.
Texel's to me look like the Bull dogs of sheep. They look bow legged and have face creases!! So cute!!
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
I like the way their noses have little hearts on them too.
I was just about to say the same thing. Def the bulldogs
That's the exact reason I think Texels aren't cute.
And like bulldogs, they frequently have to be delivered out of the side.
Love the children, the little lad talking sheepgame was faultless! Great video, Cameron. I do like the shorter videos just as much as the longer ones. Those prices are really insane but in Dutch we have this saying: ‘het is wat de gek ervoor geeft’
(It’s what the nutter gives for it) All is good in Love and Sheep, I guess :)
The truth is, that a few well heeled pedigree breeders buy and sell in a tight circle, so it is a bit of a money go round. Us mere mortals are happy to pay a sensible price for a good ram.
@@wendyrowland7787 ahh! Thank you for that info. Makes it a whole lot more plausible. So a few farmers are just swapping tups and money, showing who’s got the biggest balls. Sweet!
Thanks for taking us there Cammy enjoyed that 😊
It just goes to show though Cammy, it doesn't matter if it's sheep or anything else, they're worth what someone is prepared to pay for them. 💰💲
Great video as per usual son. 👍
Cammie, thank you for this video - texels are my favorite breed! They’re so sturdy and have a very broad “wheel base” - I think they look like four-legged tanks. Another person commented that they look like bull dogs, and I agree.
That broad wheelbase makes it very difficult for them to right themselves if they get rygged. Imagine the grief spending all that money and finding your precious ram lamb expired on his back.
Crazy money for my favourite breed! We have to remember that it's only the few that go for such big money and will they be bought by a few farmers together rather than just one?🤔. Thanks again Cammy for the update!
When I first started following the sheep I couldn't understand the attraction people had for Texels. Now they've grown on me and i find them adorable.
They are very popular here 😀
Fantastic video as always Cammie you'll be happy to know that there was a record set today being the average at £4889.53 which is absolutely incredible and a huge congratulations to all the breeders as like all types of farmers they work endless days and night to produce the best of their produce wether that be pedigree, meat or arable. Everyone farmer across the country plays and important role in feeding and establishing our nation and what a job to have!!
Great vid, as usual Cammy. What some non farmers dont realise is, that its usually a load of boys get together and buy a high priced "Tip" for Semen, the ewe lamb off spring etc. They soon make their money back. Unless it takes "Texel Throat" and keels over within a couple of months. 😖😖
So glad you got all three of the rams bought, Cammie! :) A not-so-funny story... Back in the 80s, a guy I know who had registered Corriedale sheep and also had a reputation for not spending a lot of money on rams decided to shell out $2500 for a Corriedale ram at the National Corriedale Sale in the U.S. That was big money in those days. He got that ram safely home and then put him out in a field until he was ready to join the ewes.
His first night in the field, a thunderstorm moved through. The next morning, the ram was found dead under a tree, presumably the effects of lightning hitting the tree. Talk about rotten luck!
Take out some insurance.
Absolutely lovely prices. Was just driving through a parking lot in Montana, here comes a man in a kilt with cowboy boots! Just a casual evening in a kilt!
They are Beautiful Animals.
The little girl with the cone is adorable, you and lizzy need a little girl now !
Why would people not in the industry complain at all, much less about the prices these amazing tips are getting? They will be passing their superb genes to new generations of lambs, and improving all stock in the UK and beyond. What's the deal with that, unless the protest is that the smaller farms have little chance to obtain these rams?
Even the smaller farmer can rent a great tup for a lambing season, good to inject some diversity into a flock and not force someone to have to mortgage the farm for great lambs.
Thanks for the coverage of the sale, Cammy and I love seeing all the emch on so many people there! congrats!
I actually really love the sales videos to the point where I wish they were a little longer, but I can understand the need for shorter videos which are also great. I'm probably one of those weirdos who enjoys listening to the auctioneers and watching the bidding because they don't have a chance to go to many auctions of any kind.
I didn't realise that the sale videos were controversial and yeah, I can see why farmers get annoyed at it. Focusing on the big money auctions may not be a great represention, but that's not your fault. If anything, I think the way you present it and acknowledge that fact, along with your other auction videos where prices are lower, actually offset that to an extent because you get a good range of sales plus it shines a light on a part of farming that people might not always know about.
At the end of the day, it's like most auctions houses in the UK: you've got your local events that deal with small amounts of money and then you've got the big boys like Sothebys that reguarly deal with thousands of pounds of rare items. Focusing on the latter more than the former isn't ideal, but it's better than having nothing at all. Even if you're looking at both at the same time, it still doesn't capture the full picture, but you still learn something from looking at it and it gets people interested. If it encourages people to look at their own local stuff or get involved in sales and markets, even for the craic, that's a bonus.
Sorry for the essay. The point is, your videos are great and you're doing a fine job!
We were being shown the highlights of a pedigree Texel breed society auction.
Cammy, when I joined you hadn’t reached 50k yet. Here you are fast approaching 100k is just a few months. In your own words “How braw is that!”
Very braw 🤣🥰
@@TheSheepGame
Thanks for sharing this Texel sale, Cammy! I raise Texels in the US and my goals are always to work toward the Texel types in the UK, in fact have lots of UK bloodlines in mine. The only thing I don’t understand are the “peelers” and what the causes might be for that. Here it would mean the sheep was sick or stressed and had a break in its fleece at some point.
There will be a genetic factor involved now but typically it's a sign of a thrive after a hard time.
I'd say these farmers are buying exotic sports cars ... not just the car, but the ability to actually start breeding/producing these exotics sports cars by purchasing the bloodline.... Also, it's really cool to see the kids there ... the next generation
😁🤣
These videos are just so interesting!
And really, I can't get over how much those Texel ram lambs look like big bulldogs, lol. But I really like how you show such a great sample of the different breeds on your channel.
Those are some stunning Texal rams! I have no doubt that they will be worth every penny, scuse me I mean guinea. Great video as always Cami.
I was sent to you because my son sold his little sheep farm & I had to move. I miss the sheep & the dogs so much.
Let me just say that of all English speaking people, the Scots have the thickest accent. Your brogue is charming to this American. But I have to slow down the speed in order to understand you... 😉 You have a new follower.
Thanks Jewels!!
I just love the way you get all the kids on the videos!!! I was hoping you were going to see a lamb for a bunch of guineas!!
Yep...I know the prettiest sheep is a hanging prime lamb carcass...but these Texel rams look like a Pit Bull crossed with a hog. Go Scottish Mules or Blackie. Thanks for the video again...great quality and info as always.
Always a great day when u upload cammy
These sheep are very different looking but very attractive. I can understand why they are costly. Thank you , Cammy. Kids are always adorable.❤️👍
Another Scottish channel in a subscription race: CrawfordsFarm. Cattle farm (including wee Cammy), arable crops, lots of tractors and vehicles, and another cute dog.
Crawford is a great lad 😁😁
He’d sell for £100,000
@@CrawfordsFarm1 Yours truly? 😆
Good to see you back at what you do best x
Yes!!
I really enjoy the videos you do at these sales please keep them coming. Also no one should be critical about what they paid for these lambs if anyone knows what is really going these guys paying those prices are the people who are just buying the genetics required to produce the best in the future.
Adam is DynO-Mite! Love these videos…You’re the best, all ‘rounder!
😮😮😮 Here in the US this is just hard to believe! The idea that you can pay that much for a ram and still make your operation work is incredible. I would put those tups in a padded enclosure - certainly a padded trailer to get them home! I wish we were that serious about sheep here.
Think about how many babies that one ram can produce with his genetics and thus very desirable. I'm sure they're making their money back plenty times over by the time the ram is no longer producing for whatever reason.
Great video Cammie, the children were adorable 🥰
Having some experience in the Dog Show World, this seems like a “Specialty” where you have different breeders from everywhere who breed one particular breed say Golden Retrievers 😊 and instead of a judge, this breed of sheep are up for sale and whatever farmer gets the best price, wins first place. In the show ring like Westminster or Crufts, they announce haw well the dog did in previous shows who the Dam and Sire were and if that dog has sired any. Sometimes you will see a dog and his offspring compete in the same ring
Amazing sheep and they will pay for themselves over time. I always enjoy the sheep show you video. The kiddos were all adorable. Take care.
Them rams will look well in front of the kitchen fire because I wouldn't like to be putting them out with a bundle of ewes in October or November and it pelting rain. Too be fair they look more like beltex than texel its getting harder to get a traditional long texel shortly there heads will be sitting on there shoulders some crack lambing them.
You should talk with Crawford, at Crawford Farms, about the joys of owning sheep, perhaps he could add to his sheep herd. He does own 3 sheep and always comments on them 😁😎👍
I love his three black sheep and their shenanigans, especially when joined by his black dog, Lulu.
@@habslover2306 Yes, Crawford always comments on his black sheep and cannot wait to they go market.. 😎👍
Always Love to see the sale / market videos, Great stuff as usual, Hope Lizzie and Jock are doing well....
All well here Howard thanks!
Wish the auctioneer had more of a chant then just saying number. But good video. For reference I from west central Illinois. USA 🇺🇸
Great video! Thanks. I'd be afraid that I would scratch my nose at the wrong time! lol Jo Lori D. from West Virginia, USA.
Great video Cammie! 📹Love all the different breeds you show us. As far as Texel #236, he seemed like he was “baa-ing” as if to say, “Come on, you idiots! I’m worth way more than that! Just look at me!”😂 Their “baa” sounds like they just drank several great pints! 😂🍺 🎥🐏❤️😁Oh! Almost forgot-the kids are great too! Hello to the family!
Exactly my thoughts on the sheep's voice. 🍻 The second sheep's bum was colored like he was wearing a thong. Did he back into something before his showing or why the color difference?
@@habslover2306 Right? 🍻Cheers to the thong sheep! 🤣(I didn’t notice it the first time, but bc of your comment I had to watch again!) He still got big money! 😂
Interesting voice the texels have. Reminds me of the big bullfrogs at the pond in spring.
Another fine video, Cammy!
Any chance you can explain what sets these apart from a regular texel. I get that they are paying for its breeding potential but like is it the muscling, height, weight, back angle, how much is pedigree ? Maybe an interview with a buyer perhaps. Love the channel. Take care of your back. Shearing looks like a nightmare.
That little boy is a future UA-camr Cammi, awesome!! LOL
It would be interesting to see the farm accounts of the buyers. That is, what they paid for the rams and what the resultant lambs from the breeding of each ram made at market for the lifespan of the ram.
Wow, those prices are amazing! and why again are the sheep yellow?
Great video cammy 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm sure these are breeding quality and highest breed standards vs stock sheep for commercial sale which is an entirely different genres and markets!!
Which explains the price differences... I compare it to any other livestock or animals that are utilized for both purposes, and it makes total sense!
Always good when you upload
Great video Cammy and they were unreal ram lambs 👌
Yippee another great video Cammie. Come on everyone give Cammie a thumbs up and write something in the comments 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Teresa!
Just did the calculation into CDN dollars, told my husband, and he declared we need to get into the Texel business!
Great vlog…those texels really do growl
Well done new introduction laddie!!
Amazing prices ,but not surprising. The vets that care for these animals must be the top in their field.Who typically underwrites these farmers?
Oh wow it’s madness spending that much money on a ram you can buy houses that are not going to die on you or fire blanks , thank you cammy 😊
Cracking video as always lad
A boy Cammy another good video 👍.
Do you ever see yourself getting into breeding rams?
They are weird looking sheep. The bulldog of the sheep world. 😂. I prefer those teddy bear black and white sheep you have shown before. Hi from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
Wow, big money. Interesting.
Good job Adam!!!
I'm not familiar with sheep, but he look shorter than some sheep I've seen. He's very stocky though. Are these wool, meat or dual purpose sheep.
Meat. But they were only born in February so
Just 6 months old 👍
No wonder one can’t afford to eat lamb. Kindest regards 🇨🇦
They were really eyewatering prices Cammy...wouldn't do to scratch your nose by mistake!!
Thanks Cammy ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Always a thumbs up! Texels are so funny lookin
Not a big fan of the look of the Texels (I’m not a farmer though) but it’s interesting to see how much these prime example are worth to businesses. That also shows how high farmers have to invest to keep producing quality stock for the future. I would also think that these investments are risky by nature as the working life of these rams are unknown.
PS your editing has changed a bit, videos seem to be faster pace. 👍🏻
Yeah i was starting to bore myself with some of the longer stuff so trying to make them snappier. Shorter and more frequent is what i'm going for.
Gotta admit these rams look almost like funny dogs short, stocky and rabbit ears and a real odd colour. 😂
Thanks ! Off to Google texel
The texels just kinda remind me of bulldogs... just their body shape and how stout they look. I shall now call them bulldog sheep
Hi Carol it’s Mark a met yet Lanark
The Lizzy Game is great!!
I cannot take Texel sheep seriously 🤣 they look so goofy
What kind of information do the bidders get about those specific rams before they bid? Do they get fertility counts/linage data/Weening weights/time to market/etc? Surely it can't just be the Breeder's name otherwise ALL rams from that farmer would be making the same.
Some day you’ll have to explain to us how these particular sheep are worth so much. And I’m wondering if their tails are docked.
The tails are docked. 😁
If you’re shocked at the price? What do blue blood horses sell for? ( hint - same or more) These rams are also farm equipment to create more sheep. What does a Case combine sell for? ( hint - way more). Yes there’s far cheaper rams, but this is a discerning specialist market looking for specific top DNA for a purebred flock. Think the yearling sales at Keeneland.
Thanks Liz!
Ive never seen these sheep before not pretty little darlings are they😀
Nope. I know Id not buy something so sloppy fat, either, especially for breeding.
What information is given on these rams before the sale? I can’t imagine anyone would spend that kind of money on pedigree and looks alone.
Man that's some nice prices for the breeders.
The more I see Texels the more I fall in love with that scowly face.
The local baker always beats Gregg’s haha
I love the Texels. They remind me of bulldogs.
Evening Cammy! How are you doing? have you got that photo of me you and my sister from scot sheep?
Did u email me again bud? I’ll get it on i just didn’t have her name on the email 😁
@@TheSheepGame Alright cammy, will send over the Email With the picture and mine and my sisters names
Why does anyone go to an auction? To get their hands on the best of something of course. I am not going to just giveaway something I put my hard earned cash an time into. Especially when I intend for it to be the best of what I have. Wether it's an art auction or a horse auction. Only difference is that a piece of art cannot generate more revenue. If it's livestock, you plan to make the most of your purchase. Also that little girl with the ice cream was so cute 😊
That young lady had me on the floor! Awesome shot!
I have so many questions about texel sheep now… like why are they yellow?
Wow! People do pay big!
I’m guessing these are all ram lambs for thorough-breeding.
There must be a bit of personal desire in this.
If each ram impregnates 100 per season for 5 seasons, and they have 2 offspring on average, they will father 1000, so the money is not there.
I didn’t realise a thorough-bred texel could be so expensive!
wouldn’t it make you feel sick if you bought one of those lambs and it dropped dead after you got it home. I love to see the kids, hopefully tomorrows farmers.
They are well insured Wendy don’t worry…. And i think Lizzy would kill me if i brought one home🤣
One of the kids or one of the rams? 🤣🤣
Great video.
What is the reason these sheep go for such high prices?
I allways think top end is like football teams, successful business people having some fun
Well i’m Fort William FC 🤣
@@TheSheepGame Accrington Stanley me
What makes texels so valuable? Why is one sheep breed consider more valuable than another?
These are the most popular terminal sire in the UK so there are lots of farmers that breed them👍
Do the wrinkles on the texel's face show good condition? Do all texels have wrinkles on their face?
Those were some expensive sheep!
Hi Cammy - will we be getting a live Q&A when you hit 100,000 subscribers? Won't be long now 😃
Why are the tups yellow?
Texels look like they hit the gym hard
Cammy, are the lambs guaranteed fertile or is it buyer beware?
They will be guaranteed and insured for 3 months 👍
A little like comparing a famous personal chef vs fast food 🤣
I really find the huge prices crazy.
🥰🙏
I dislike it when the rams get pocked with sticks.But thank you for the video.
Are you saying Greggs is better than your local bakers? After a new sponsor? Mind I like the bean and sausage melt.
Nothing beats a Killie Pie from Brownings the baker 😁
Will you be going to the two day lanark blackie sale
