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 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 so I have a good income stream in summer and winter.
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.

Loved the part showing you shearing with camera on head! Love from NY
Thanks Melissa. I’ll need to do more of that next year.
Great video! You’re a hardworking guy! Thanks for recording these to share with us!❤❤❤
Cammy!
Loved the music at the end of this one! I found the song - The Young and the Restless - Tide Lines...I'm in love...
I watch your videos for peace...
I was able to visit Scotland once - it was my dream come true! We stayed on the Isle of Skye. I would love to visit again!! Love from Pennsylvania, USA
Days I've had the last song in this one stuck in my head! Took me a while to find it as I've been binge watching every video!
Very impressed to see no nicks and cuts. You do your job well.
Loved the drone footage. Beautiful countryside and fascinating to watch the different patterns the sheep made as they ran hither and yon. Saw a moon almost rise 😳 but the camera cut away. I also enjoyed watching the dalmatian spots show up as you were shearing in the head shots. Wonderful music throughout, Cammy.
Glad you enjoyed it, I've loved taking drome footage as you can really appreciate the landscape and get some great shots and see so much more.
Fox on the run is one of My favourite songs 🎵❤
I love the music you put in this one❤
Your just too cute! I could just hug you.
Great video. The music is beautiful.
This was your best vlog. The photograph of your friend so tired after shearing is world class. I wonder if you entered it in a photography contest, you might just win.
Love your channel!! That young and the restless song is kick a**. Gonna have to look them up.
I love the music.
Probably the best video to date, doesn't matter you lost some footage. 🍷🍺👍🇬🇧 .......
Cheers Chris! Fair enjoyed making it!
Great footage amazing how things change i shepherded there 11 years ago 20,000 sheep 9 shepherds that year we had 9 shearing 3 trailers lined up at common burn really enjoy your vlogs keep up the good work 👍👍
Hopefully they go back to that!! More for us to shear 😁. Thanks for the comment Jock. Always interesting hearing about how things used to be. 👍
I must admit that is some cracking sheep country. The drone footage as always is really good but your choice of music for this video really was awesome. Many thanks.
Thanks mate!! Used some well known tunes to make up for the lost footage!
@@TheSheepGameI hadn't actually heard the songs before and I had to ask in the comments who sang them. I guess I am not as down with the kids as I used to be...... 🙄🙄🙄
Fantastic vlog Cammy! Love the music.
Would love to shear in Scotland or Northumberland one day. Probably too old and too slow! 😁👌👍
Absolutely luv the music!
Thanks Deb
Oh my word - that picture of Stuart! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I love your sense of humor Cammy! Hahaha
Never shore in Great Britain fell in love with a Mauri girl. May be be one day now we have grown, 21 years later, we might get there. Awesome vid keep them coming.
Cheers Leigh! Life takes us where it takes us!
Excellent drone footage! Those sheep were large!🐑. Thank you!
I loved the music for this vlog! Thank you for sharing your summer adventures (even if I am seeing them a year late). 😁
Cammy, you are getting to be a real pro with these videos. I am seriously impressed. Keep up the good work!
Churrr Cornel!! People really like them so it keeps me motivated. the winter won't be as exciting so hope people stick with it.
Well done there is nothing like doing a season with a good bunch of of boys you'll remember it all your life
I'm lucky i get to do it every year!! =D
That was a great video! The sheering can be mesmerizing . Loved watching from headshot camera .
Thanks Heather, try to get different angles to keep it interesting!
Cammy yer some man. I do love the banter and yer funny to.
Hi Cammy
Watching from Australia Queensland Gympie
We love your show.
We have 13 sheep 2 new ones over the last few days.
Jaakko my 5 year old loves the drone and watching the dogs moving the sheep. Thanks for the great videos.
Hi Trish, glad you have been enjoying the vlogs and different angles I get with the drone, also great to hear where the international watchers are from 👍
Great video. Some beautiful country love the sail away song. Cheers to you Cammy drinking a beer to you 🍻🍻 stay healthy..
Cheers Kyle! Thanks for the support!
Excellent footage again Cammy. I finished shearing yesterday for a neighbour so now time to wean and sort out all our lambs. Keep the videos coming please
Cheers bro. I've been weaning lambs ths week too.
Love your Hary t shert, and how much your so honest.
Cheers Celine
Great video, enjoying the series. I like watching shearing vids for reference, especially yours, because I’m doing a bit of tailing and shearing at home.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Great video cammy great music I'm a dairy farmer know nothing bout sheep enjoying your vlogs
Brilliant Gary i love hearing that!!
Final blast. Just love that music and the views from that drone. Bloody amazing....and the sun is shining. Thank you, amazing videos. Would love to know whose singing and a couple of titles...glad I stayed awake...still chuckling about that near fall in the creek video......
Thanks Linda, can't wait to get back to shearing in the summer, such a great time of year and all the great people I work with.
Like the heave away music cammy. Shame was just enjoying that. Yep liked the end music too, great choice. Shame someone stole your clothes at the end.
A great shame! A great song also lol
Enjoyed
How did "Foxy" do with understanding your Scots. I understand it really well, except when you're bantering with your mates. Great music! Rest in peace, lost footage. I wanted to say thank you again for all your videos. I have multiple sclerosis and have to use a wheelchair so I don't get out much. I always wanted to keep sheep but of course it's not possible now. But I can enjoy the fun of being a sheep farmer in Scotland! -Jo Lori D. in rural West Virginia, USA
Great video Cammy I always enjoyed shearing sheep down that part of the country they always seemed to be in great order
yeah mate it's been a good run down there!
Yeah Stuart looked like he was enjoying the great banter🤣🤣
He was on great form! Just caught him at a bad time!! =D
Knockin they videos out the park Cammy and commentating while walking over a cattle grid... Legend.
Cheers jd
Cheers JD. Consistency is key!
Awesome video, Cammie. Puppy training wee-Jock is the smartest thing Lizzy did there: on his father's wooly top!
Don’t cry, the sea shanty made up for it. Sandy fleece! Long gone are the days when the sheep were put through a sheep wash because the fleece was a valued commodity. I think you deserve more subscribers.
Appreciate it Wendy. They are going up slowly. I'll just keep working away making videos and see what happens!
Awesome video! 🐑❤️🐑❤️🐑
Thanks Elizabeth
She’s a K one W one, from the land of the long white cloud, she’ll be bloody good😂😂
Loving the music!
Thanks Ella!
great vlogs fair play great sounds on this last one
Cheers!! Lots of good Scottish bands😁
👌👌👌Your getting it too handy, no more full on running and chasing sheep. WTF. Getting very professional. 🐏😂🤣🤣🤣
Churr Gareth! It’s all easy in the sheep game!
Crestfallen is the word for that picture of Stuart. hahahah
Haha brilliant!
I deleted a whole vlog once! I was so sad. like nooooooooo! I feel your pain. loads of great drone shots in this one!! It's interesting to see the drone footage sped up and see how the sheep move as a flock :)
Great vid Cammy. Bought some blackies from there few year back, tremendous sheep. Can relate with the sand problem, my hill swales are always full of peat lol ive found the icon wasnt as hard on cutters and combs in sand as older handpieces though
They were strong sheep! Not sure if the handpiece helps but a newer handpiece will run better i suppose!
Grate vid cammy cracking drone shoths and music choice
Churr David
Enjoyed the video, even though you lost the best bits, poor Stuart he was proper upset about it, lol. Cheers.
haha poor lad. He was in great form it was just a funny photo that Foxy took =D
If you’re shearing sheep without a beer you’re not shearing sheep...’beer’s to ya!’ “But, Alas!, it’s gone..”. Classic. What’s a great sheep vlog without an occasional blaaaaaackout!?
Shearing and cold beers do go down quite well in the warm weather 👍
Loved the GoPro stuff, had to grab for the sweat towel, good onya cobber
haha i'm gonna try take a video on the head cam of every different breed i shear net year and then stitch it into one video.
another great video
Glad you enjoyed it Mick
Pity you lost the footage , poor Stuart looked awfy upset 😢 Great vid as always 😊
haha poor lad. He was in good form we just snapped this pic at a bad moment
That music reminds me of a Newfoundland band called, Great Big Sea...you'd likely enjoy them.
Also, a Nova Scotia band from the 90's, called, The Rankins. They sing some songs in Gaelic.
I’ll look them up! Love that kind of music!
Hello! Love the videos😀. Are you speaking more slowly or am I developing an ear? 😊. Just wondering what you do with the little bits that are swept up? I have heard that some farmers place them strategically around their fields to deter deer? Thanks for doing the podcasts, great to see, & interesting commentary. Oops, sorry, forgot, you could have filmed it at a slightly different angle, & included a few sheep interviews, like how they feel about being sheered, etc🤪😂.
New to this channel I love watching shearing but I could listen to him all day lol
Thanks Pamela. Hope you can understand me!
@@TheSheepGame yes every word is that weird?
Top videos best ones on UA-cam of sheep farming 👌
Legend Brian that’s what i’m aiming for! Plenty of Tractor / cattle vloggers but not many sheep ones! 😁
👌👌👍
I'm liking the drone footage you've started doing; very green country. You didn't buy into the Texel lamb that just sold in Scotland did you? lol a cool £368,000 ouch.
No but we actually shear at one of the farms that bought it! Might get a video of me shearing it next year!
Love it keep me coming
Cheers!
Shearing those sheep in a minute or less seems pretty quick to me Cammy. Also, thanks for the 3 half naked shearers towards the end there. 😉
i am a huge fan
Cheers Henry!
Great vid I finished 300 ewes today and that was my last of shearing this year it’s time to welcome autumn soon
Gid man! Shearing is always easier when u are doing it every day. The boys that shear their own and just do a few days are always working the hardest so well done!
Thanks
Good to see the Indigenous all stars shirt mate!
Cheers bro... bit of a random purchase but it's a stick out =D
Sheep always run away from you. Have you ever thought what’s going through their heids? “Oh hell, here’s that man wi’ his dugs again. Run away, run away, run aww, a’body. Ah’m telling ye, he’s gonae hurt us. Damn, he’s gonna cut oor hair off again. Damn, cold, cold, cold. Tipping us up, don’t like that. Just let us run and eat grass, Mister. What did we ever do to you?”
Not a farmer, an not a Scot, although I’m told that’s my ancestry🍀❤️…I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your hard work and your sense of humor through it all! Shearing looks like break-backing work! Just wondering how you decide what music to use? I like it!
Hi I like your video
I see you use special kind of shoes. learning curve.granny
music wonderful I did a relay..!
RIP to the lost footage 🤦😥so sad .....loving the matching white vests 🥰...why do you clip the lambs you keep out of interest ? Love the music ... Poor Steve with the towel on his head he looks dun in 🥵🤣💪...likeing the go pro while clipping I felt I was giving it a go and earnt a beer 🍻 🤣🤣keep up the videos there awesome 👍
Oh there good quality sheep .
They are longer keep lambs so keeps them clean all winter. Boys reckon they grow better too but i’m not sure on that!
My white vest is fading daily😂
🐑🥰
Deleted footage????? Good job it's not the BBC - we'd all want our licence fee back!
Found some good music to end the season. It's been good fun to watch, well done, keep it up.
thanks Keith. Crazy that you get this for free!!
Loving the skipinnish over the video!
What are the names of the songs??
@@99037149 the long song is tide lines - the young and the restless amd the skipinnish song is ocean of the free
@@james5327 many thanks for replying. It would have taken me ages to find them without your help.
@@99037149 not a problem my friend enjoy!
Christmas 🎄 is coming
Good video quality and content.hard wearing corwen shears hoodie still looks good.why not shear lambs earlier as they thrive with sun 🌞 on backs.🐑😎🏴👍
I wanted them shorn earlier but i've still not got it done and it's looking unlikely now
Kia Ora Cuzzie
churrrrr bro
Just seen the vlog was Richie brought up at the Kirklands
That’s the boy!
Another good video and u all did well
What does the thing do that u put the fleases in never seen one before always put in the big bags
Cheers Nick. I should have spent some time filming it. It’s basically a hydraulic presss that packs the wool in to square bales much heavier than normal bags. Means less bags to store / transport and when u have 9000 sheep that’s handy!
Would love big shout to mr Gavin
Who's that?
Really liked your video. Like the shirt you were wearing about half way through the video. It looked like an Australian Aboriginal design. I've never had to shear a sheep with a tail. Is it hard? Also, is there a standard rate per sheep in the UK?
Cheers bro. It is an Aboriginal Allstars shirt. Like to look cultural on the videos😁. No flat rate here. We don’t have a union like Ozzy has so we set our own rates.
I know Lilburn estate. Fella ciaran
mc nulty works there. Some place.
Aye Ciaran is on the drone footage at some point. =D
How many sheep have you sheared this year? I enjoy your videos!
This year i’ve shorn 19,000
Cammy - what is the source of the recording "Heave away, Heave away, on the ocean of the free, the island men sail again ...." "???
Stewards enquiry around the missing footage! 🙈🤣
I take full responsibility for my lack of tech knowledge.
@@TheSheepGame It's easy done. Had some mishaps with videos I was creating for work before. All part of the fun. Lol 😆
Are you adding a calendar of you boys to the merch ??
Aye mate that's the July pic.................... orders out soon
Great vlog as usual, what was the music at the end?
Thanks Mary. Young and the reckless by Tidelines.
@@TheSheepGame thanks for that ! Loved the music nearly as much the shearing😀
Was that Mairead or Oriagh Fox? I've worked with their sister Fabia here in Waimate.
I think you should shear the sheep shirtless all the time 🔥😉
Some amount of skin to be sun creaming! 😂😂
@@TheSheepGame I think your views would go up, it would be worth the effort! 😊
I know you are over 10,000 but what's your total for the season? You guys worked hard!
14500 give or take a couple... 👍
Are you paid the same rate no matter the breed or does each breed have its own rate? Are you paid travel expenses? How long is the shearing season?
Not to give away your trade secrets can you give me an amount you receive for shearing an average lamb, if you put it in pounds will you equate it to US dollars!
Now is that enough questions for you today? If not I have more!!
P.S. How is Jock and his Mom?
Hi Colleen,
Let me try and answer them.
So we charge around $2 per sheep. Double for rams.
No travel expenses that's just covered by the contractor who pays the shearers around $1.70 per sheep.
Lambs will be around 15 cents less than ewes as it's a quieter time of year when we do them. Shearing season in Scotland is June - Mid August.
Do you guys use the tummy wool too or do you get rid of it, just saw on another sheep farmers here in canadas youtube she said she can't sell it
Here in the UK, they do like you to put the belly wool in the fleece it shows a complete fleece when being graded at the depot.
Any jobs for next season!!!
Long waiting list bro😁
And it all starts again with the tupping in a few weeks.
Working on sourcing my boys just now!
I had some luck two suffolk x tupps, nice sturdy lad's. Hopefully they'll do the business.
Hey from Alabama, USA. Shearing looks really hard on your back. Do you suffer back problems? Is shearing a “young person’s occupation” or is it something that can be a life long career?
Hi, I personally don't have back problems but I know some people. The boy I shear with most days is 52 and he beats me every day so he would say it's a career for life. U need to keep fit and flexible in the off season I think that's key.
How many combs n cutters for the day?
Not that many to be fair. I couldn’t tell u a figure. Nothing like i see the boys using on sheep in Oz!
You should be able to download a programme that will recover deleted files.
It was deleted off the sd card though?
The Sheep Game Yes you can recover deleted files from an SD card. Download a programme to your pc, then plug the Sd card in. Look on Google.
On it
What’s the heave away song called
Young and the reckless by Tide Lines
@@TheSheepGame cheers good video
What was your final total Cammy?
Around the 14500 mark for the summer. Still doing an odd day here and there. Got three days on lambs this week👍
The Sheep Game
That’s a lot of shearing... I bet the ol back is a little sore.
Подруга работа стрижка 👋👏👍🙋😃😀😯
What's the song called ???
Young and the restless by Tidelines 👍
