About Me
I’m 30 years old and I’m a sheep farmer from Ayrshire in South West Scotland. That’s why I have such a strong accent!! I was born and raised in sheep with my dad being a shepherd on an Ayrshire farm.
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.
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 keep my hand in. From there it escalated quickly from my first 4 sheep in my mum’s garden to now running around 600 ewes.
I can now shear over 10,000 sheep a season in UK and I also travel to Norway for shearing in March and September.
A few years ago I bought myself a sheep 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!

That Scottish ingenuity works every time.
What I love about your vlogs is that they're as much about the people as they are about the sheep.
Think James Nisbet must have been on the night shift too. Looks like he was at a Saturday night dance with that sark before turning up to pack wool!! He's got right bonny lambs too.
Someone else had said that to me Jimmy!! It’s like their is all these supporting acts 😂.
Archie,
James,
Sean,
Robbie,
Who’s next?😂
Well done with the trailer! Very Heath Robinson!
❤❤❤ What a beautiful Warmblood!! 17.2?! Gorgeous ❤❤❤
It sure is!
I was impressed how you hitched the trailer....... until the end of your vlog! 😛
Haha my honesty is endearing though😁
Great vid as always, the horse and puppy guest appearances were a nice addition.
Think that might be my first Horse on The Sheep Game =D
@@TheSheepGame Love horses, I even do admin and fundraising for a Horse Rescue, Horse Sense Wirral.
Loved the video! Everyone worked hard and was funny and nice! ❤❤❤
Good to see you guys again. Almost 300k subscribers!
“Feed the pony” what a rascal Cammy boy
Not sure what u mean?👀👀👀😂
She knows
Great video. That is a beautiful big horse. Those puppies are so cute. They're going to be great sheep dogs.
I can appreciate their beauty but I am pretty scared of horses! 😂
I got a folding jockey wheel on my trailer and sometimes it is a hassle if you park on soft ground but i like it because it saves my back
Not seen lamb shearing before. Nice little video, nice haircut too lol
Haha cheers James! Just a trim!
You ever thought of getting a jockey wheel for that trailer 😆.
Nice to see the quality farmyard electrian hasn't been lost over the years, tape and bailer twine will fix anything
I took it of Paul for speed..... forgot it takes two to lift it haha
Hi Cammy..... still turning them fun clips ... social distance, electric, puppies, sheep, wool, horses gee there's never a dull moment across the pond. Nice one.
Shearing lambs actually benefits them great Cammy, well that's my experience anyway! Any weaned lambs that I would have on the farm come September (forsure) I would shear off. Then certainly finish quicker & that's my plan anyway, it works. The factory where I kill them aren't as impressed yet he still takes them!
Rock on......
Cheers Colette!!!! Appreciate all the support!! Always trying to keep the vlogs fun i think that’s the best way!
What a beautiful pup. Looks like another sheep dog in the makin'.
Another gid yin Cammy, the trials and tribulations of hitching a trailer are a documentary waiting to happen
Cheers jd
Cheers JD! It’s a good warm up!
Great job
Massively advantageous to clip lambs, it gives them a tremendous boost,we clipped ours straight after weaning just before their click extra cover ran out so no need to retreat again,👍 used a Heiniger Bad 9 tooth comb to leave a bit on , good choice had heavy rain since and they took no fault and you can see the change in them right away but they go trough grass like locusts, not to mention not having to put massive gloves on to try and release them from the dreaded brambles, that’s when you approach as quietly as possible to try and stop them going mental but that never works, so then you grab a back leg which goes off like a machine gun forcing you to let go before your eyeballs shatter, by this time the bramble twist is as thick as a tree trunk and you need to go and get the chain saw but then you have no petrol , this is the point when i found it tempting just to quite happily go back with the gun that is why they should be kept safely locked away in a gun cabinet upstairs in the house because the thought of taking your boots off is the only thing that stops me doing it, when you do eventually get them free and release them back into the wild why is it they then scream straight to the nearest ditch and launch themselves in it trying to die in a more spectacular fashion 😤😤😤😤. So the moral of this story is definitely clip lambs definitely no question, i know someone in comments already mentioned brambles and ditches that is sound advice.🇬🇧👍 by the way if you don’t take your gun back with you there’s bound to be a dog chasing the ones that aren’t already stuck into brambles and ditches , it’s called the sheep game 😂😂
haha I enjoyed reading that! Cheers Dave
@Sicklecroftdave if you ever want to quit sheep farming you can easily do standup comedy. I'm laughing so hard! We keep our guns safely locked away in a gun cabinet in a dead-bolted spare closet. Inside the gun safe the guns have barrel locks as well as trigger locks. That way, you have to think long before you make a decision to use one. There are tools available for cutting small trees that can fit inside a standard tool box, but that wouldn't be nearly as funny.
@@jillcrowe2626 well thank you for that complimentary advice, not quite sure about the stand up comedian suggestion though, I feel a sit down comedian would be more appropriate considering the severity of my PTSD ( post traumatic sheep disorder) which i think should be recognised alongside the military form of this debilitating disorder , although the shepherding form symptoms are more severe , many shepherds can be found in the sitting position with their head in their hands sobbing for breath , more than likely on that dead full wooled wet extremely heavy triplet carrying ewe that decided to drowned itself in a steep sided ditch , one of those ditches that mysteriously lacks a phone signal preventing any hope of any type of assistance of any kind from anything or anybody . Over and out under and in 👍
Cami,What a video! can't wait for the next. I'd love to know more about the night shift. JP IReland
Cheers JP! Keeping that a wee secret just now! It’s not a farming job😁
Do you have a baby Cammy?
Shearing can definitely be an athletic endeavor sometimes. My back usually is stiff the next day from all the bending.
Shearing does create its own type of fitness and we all suffer a little at the beginning of the season but doesn't take long for the body to get fit to it again!
Awesome Pups!
Fair play to you working nightshift and then shearing the next day. Good craic there as always!
Thanks Mary!! Always looking for the banter! 😁
Nightshift and shearing that’s hard going. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Gordo! I was actually straight off a nightshift in the Romney video but i think i wore it well😂
The Sheep Game yes nightshift and straight into work is ok for a while but takes allot out of you remember to take some time out and rest don’t burn yourself out been there done that.👍👍👍
Great as always, don’t burn yourself out , all these hours on night shift. Your health is important!
True James. I’ve eased off a bit in recent years i try to avoid doing too much without any sleep. Life is too short!
Good vid cammy very nice looking ewe lambs i have never seen anyone sheer ewe lambs up here but thats probably because no one tups them up here and the whether would batter them
Aye different part of the country David i wouldn’t expect to see many shorn up there!! Winter is hard enough! Cheers!
Have heard, from a man who knows, that small lambs if sheared and kept inside, will come on better than if left with their fleece on.
Great horse, and you knew there would be those of us wanting to know how many hands he is. Good horse owner! Takes care of her horse after he is done competing AND has treats in her pocket. You have the best people in your vlogs. What did you do to that electric cord? Try to shear it? Good fix though.
Haha I thought that’s good reversing too 😂😂 gid yin braw horse 🐴 pups and lambs 😀
I thought it was very honest of me showing the truth hahah
The Sheep Game 😂😂 I was impressed
Good banter again. Never sheared a lamb but don't fancy it much. But fair play to you shearing after a night shift I am like a busted keebab after one and just sleep all day. 😴😴😴
I hold it together until the camera is off then i’m burst😂
Brilliant shearing ,watch the back lifting like that it doesn’t take much to damage the back ,
I shear my ewe lambs also great job .
Much cleaner and definitely more healthy
Brilliant video as usual,
Stay safe 👍👍🐏🐏🐏🦙🦙🇮🇪🏴
Thanks for the comment Aidan. That's why I got the stob to save the back =D
Been shearing replacement lambs for past 5yrs ( late August). Definitely find they eat more through Sept / Oct and put on nice bit of condition. Secondary bonus for hill farms is they don't have a big fleece to get stuck in briers, ditches etc. Makes a super hogget out of em the following year
Yeah that’s another good point i missed out! Seen my hoggs getting stuck in the briers etc.
Another good video Cammy good laugh as always, I have never sheared lambs before, shearing them as hogs was enough for me 😂😂 but then again it was all blackies I worked with 🙄
Aye very uncommon for blackies Stu! Cheers for watching and commenting!
Class video cammy 👌
Cheers Brian!
Love that shearing trailer! Where did you buy that one? Here in Belgium is it a rare sight.
In NZ it’s been proved that blade shearing over the life of a sheep, it produces an extra fleece, simply because they don’t get a check, after shearing, and I always believed lambs grew better if shorn
Interesting mate!! Never heard that about blade shearing! Aye i think they will. Mine will need to grow or they will freeze!😂

Happy granny90
i hitched a trailer in a similar fashion, so it happens in Texas too. lol
Haha a world wide issue!
Another good vid. Looks like the fame of being on your vlogs is going to some people’s head, last time the cool shades now the beard! 😂😂😂When do we see your pups?
Hahaha he credits himself with being the guy that made me😂😂
The Sheep Game 😂👍🏻
@@TheSheepGame any boss credits themselves with the success of a former employee. If you win the Nobel Prize, it would be all because of the efforts of your first boss.
You make me want to learn how to shear.
That’s awesome Mysti get into it👍
@@TheSheepGame My husband wants me to learn. He's been sending me lyncs to look at different shears.
Super flat 🤙🤙🤙🤠🤠
churr Logan
Great video as always, i enjoyed the hillbilly ingenuity at the beginning to get the trailer hitched up. Never have seen a tub used to prop up a trailer hitch. Was that blue merle pup a collie? Dont often see collie blue merles here.
Yeah Mark it was. Blue merle dad and a brown mother
I'm the same with the jocky wheel at the moment boils my heed.loved the cable work how meany boys did it take ?😄
We’ll call it 4. And that was the edited version 😂
Did u get that necklace when u joined the band? Compliments ur hair 😂
Hahahah the modern man
Jockey wheel is needed in case of breakdown, put it back.
Those are good girls cute sheep nice video do you want to watch mine
Hi. Love your videos! Great work. Was wondering what your favourite mobile handling trailer system would be? I know you have a rappa but would you change?
Hi George. I can’t really comment on that as i’ve only really used the Rappa system. I believe it’s pretty much a direct copy of Pratley these days.
@@TheSheepGame Thanks for your advice. Looking forward to the next vid!
Great video again thanks. What work you do on the night shift?. Would you not have enough made by doing the shearing and scanning? We shear our lambs,find they thrive better we dont breed them.
Thanks James. I’m keeping the a running secret on the channel. Bit of mystery makes it more intersting😂
Aye i would make enough but i’m more interested in working all the time than how much i make. I’m sick in the head😁
You should come to Australia and shear over here
It’s on my to do list Murray! Would be a shock to my system i’m sure😁
The Sheep Game 100% ahaha no easy shearing sheep over here, just big Merino’s with lots of wrinkles
Murray Burt yeah so the boys tell me. Would love to try it some time though.... might be a bit too much red for the camera!
The Sheep Game nah mate ya have always try different things. Be an awesome experience for ya anyways no matter how bad it is ahaha
Hello cammy have you ever visited wales before and did you like it
Yes Morgan i have shorn at Corwen shears and i have been to wales on maybe 5-6 other occasion. Love it!
InAussie we use sling take strain off back hard yakka Aye
it might be a stupid question but why did you take the jockey wheel off the tan pup is a lovely dog
It was faster to just lift it on and off Mick but it was in a bad position on the grass at home and i’m too weak😂
With those boys running the sheep you're not going to need the dogs. I loved seeing them in the video. How old are they, and are they going to school or taking school online? Also, I didn't catch the name of the puppy.
They are 9 I believe. They do go to school just now. Not sure how covid effects the classes. Great fun for the kids.
Hey mate, whats name of the battery handpiece you use. Is it good and last a bit. Does it use normal comb and cutter. Just bought a harrington crutching trailer and think it be handier than dragging power about.
Great videos.
Hi mate. It’s the Razor handpiece. There is a link to it in description of most of my videos. It comes with two batteries and will last maybe 45 mins a battery when new. It takes a normal comb and cutter but u can’t set them very well. My best advice would be get the Heiniger 12v handpiece. Higher blade speed and near invincible. Just attaches to a leisure battery and lasts all day👍
Thanks mate, will shop around and see. Was shearing in norway good? What about Iceland ever gone over there?
Norway is pretty hard work. Never been to Iceland but i’m going to try and get up for their big hill gather next year! Looks unreal!
Where is that great big beautiful hair that you used to have?
First
Good lad keep it up talking to the lad ho showed you round the wool board the other day
Brilliant thanks! Busy on the haulage the now?
The Sheep Game worst year ever for leading wool farmers think they aren’t going to get paid
@@cumbriafarmer6258 aye. Lot of rumours not helping things! What’s the alternative? Wool board is the one that’s going to do the best by the farmers. Not easy for anyone.
The Sheep Game totally agree
I love the Scottish accent but please slow down so us Canadians can understand half of what your saying
Thanks for feedback Jayne. I’m always trying to improve so i will work on that.
I'm too lazy to shear the bastards just take the belly n a swipe at the leg if I feel like it 😅 some lads are dead set against letting the ram to lambs around here but I find they settle a lot better myself
Aye it all depends the size. I’m not keen on it as lambing hoggs is a lot of work. Might give the tup a week with the 50 biggest ones this year and see what he gets.
Aye bitta extra work n feed I suppose, I lamb early so lambs are strong. The auld lad would never do it, he just doesnt want the hassle and lambs blackie so they wouldnt be strong enough. I have a small lleyn ram to let with the ewe lambs, prob let him out n 2,3weeks..the main flock will be finished. The lambs are small never much bother, not worth much but takes the hassle out of it for again, can have the same probs with first time lambers whatever the age imo. Ya should give a go with a small lock and see how they go 👍if you look over the lifetime of the ewe shes still producing more for ya
I'm not sure if you all are actually speaking English? It sounds Scottish. Greetings from New Zealand.
It’s mostly English but where i’m from in Scotland still uses a lot of the Scots language. I’m trying hard to speak plain english but people have told me that they start to understand better after a few videos 😆
Anyone else can’t understand half of what they’re saying!!? I’m Canadian and I’m struggling hard. Haha!
You're not the only one Janine. I'm very Scottish =D
S. Appalachian and I have no problem hahaha
I think your accent makes me listen harder! I love it!❤
How much land do u own cammy and how many sheep do u have
I don’t own any land Ricky and running around 1100 head of stock just now. I’ll have 6-700 going to rams.
I’m a cattle foot trimmer here in Northern Ireland run around 160 ewes and milk 100 Holstein cows I thought I was busy how do u have time for another job plus cliping love the videos
Ricky Kane sounds like an interesting mix mate!! I’m a busy lad! I do struggle with time to edit videos that’s the big one! 👍
Cam, how much do you get for shearing each sheep ?
£1.35-£1.50 James 👍
Is that Archie and Sean behind you
Hahaha feels that way most of the time. Young boys that just need to get their wind out! In a funny twist of fate i was with them both this morning!!! Filming a hilarious scene for an upcoming vlog!
@@TheSheepGame even the kids love the banter on your videos more power to you Mr Wilson
Yah know, speaking as a licensed electrician, most folks would unplug that cord before repairing it. Just sayin' man.
🤣 u are correct! I’ll bear that in mind!
What kind of pups are they?
They are both Border Collie pups Kathy.
Wasn't sure if those cuties were a herding dog cross or just really sharp looking bc pups. Thanks!
Where do you work night shift, I did 13 years of it with Kiwirail, it’s bloody hard on the body
Keeping that a wee secret the now Chris. It’s a townie job nothing to do with farming😁
And aye it’s brutal. Been doing it 12 years and struggling with working through day off the nightshift now i’m an old man!
@@TheSheepGame my best guess is a security
Why did you take the jockey wheel off
It was faster to just lift it on and off but the way i had it sitting on the grass i couldn’t life it so had to improvise😂
beautiful pups but I couldn't work out what he was saying. Blue mirror, blue metal, blue maeror subtitles don't help
Blue merle 😁 it’s a colour gene that makes them sort of grey and white 😁
@@TheSheepGame thanks what breed are they?
Why did you have a whistle around your neck?
Mainly fashion as neither of my dogs work to the whistle 😂😂. It was a gift.
Do you ask every woman if you can see their puppies.
Only the pretty ones John =D
What does tupped mean??
That’s what we call it when the ram jumps the ewe. When a ram loves a ewe very very much ........ 😂
@@TheSheepGame Interesting term...lol
What’s your nite shift job cammy?
Keeping that a wee mystery just now Matthew.😁
The Sheep Game 👍
Night shift at what?
Keeping that as a wee running secret... bit of mystery adds to the drama eh?😂
