ABOUT ME
I’m 31 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 600 breeding ewes.
I shore over 15,000 sheep this season in UK and I also travel to Norway for shearing in March and September. (Covid messed it up this year)
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.
You're very lucky to have great people to work for and work with. So fun to watch!
Definitely, the season soon flys by when having fun and working with great people all the time 😁
Awesome
i wrapped for a crew and cooked breakfast on a welsh mountain yesterday.
awesome life.
Sounds like a great day Tim 👍
I have missed you here...it seems like months since the last few videos. Very glad you are back.
Yes sorry Trish, a super busy time of year working all the hours to get the sheep shorn, probably just a couple of busy weeks left.
Banter was brilliant, nice neat job Mai!!
This is about the ram kicking t by e shearer. You guys do a fantastic job of controlling and keeping those sheep comfortable while you work. Hats off to you all. My back would never last through a day of that work anymore. 50 years ago maybe. Not today.
Lots of work, but also lots of fun and laughs. Amazing team work , especially with some feisty 🐑🐑🐑😊
Yeah it's a great combination and the days soon fly by when working with great people and having plenty of fun along the way 👍😁
Love you’re videos, stay healthy and happy.
Thanks Liz

The sheep shearing is interesting but the banter is better! My dad' people are Scotch/Irish and after watching - and enjoying - you guys kid each other I can see where I get it. Find a group of people and if Im there Im teasing everybody and laughing the hardest. You tickle me Cammy! Keep them coming....I can almost understand your accent. 👍

It's good to see everyone having a laugh and enjoying the day even though it's quite a physical job. And sheep are always cute ❤
I love the 90's sitcom pose ya did there Cammy. Very cute
Haha
It's been warm down here cammy! Especially lilburn away from the coast
Some July we've been having for consistently hot days!!
@@TheSheepGame alright for animals shite for crop farmers they need rain now 😂
3rd out of 3...... Remember it's the taking part that's counts! Great effort from all off you guys.
Something like that! 🤣
And much better than 4th out of 3.. 😁
Best squad in Scotland.
Love how James had a new door in the morning and half wore through it by the end of the day, what a hero! 🤣
I wondered who would notice that first! Well in Phil😂. Hope you’re well!
Questions, questions, questions! 🤣
What are “Gold Sheep Fans”?
Will my Hoodie be the same style like the one in this video when it makes it here to me in the states?
Why is Archie so handsome?
I’m loving the shearing videos! Cammy, your since of humor is one of the things that makes your channel such a joy to watch. Thank you so very much. 😊🐑💙
Nice drone footage again. Fit looking bunch!👍
Cheers 👍
Cheers from France
Hi Clement, great to hear where the international watchers are from 👍
@@TheSheepGame I'm french and I teach english in the South of France. I'm also a viticulturist and my tractor is a "Same".
Take care. I love your videos.
What a squad 💪
You all make it look so easy…hot and sweaty, but easy😉
Getting the technique and pattern is the main thing, then you just work as hard as you want or that your fitness will allow 😉
I’d lick to see the wool press working as well i think the other fans would too
As always I have enjoyed another.
I think y’all wool bags are interesting, they’re different than what I use.
Thanks, aye I've seen a few variations for wool bags around the world.
Now that was a lot of sheep being shorn so I think a heck of a good day. Great ending to all of you posing at the end. Very well done! :-)
Thanks Dana
WE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL......EH....1ST FAN....A HAPPY. DAY WHEN YOU POST......HUGS....
Aww thanks, glad you enjoy the channel 😁
Wow. Amazing to watch. Such a great set up and you guys are so fast. I might have to breakdown and buy some electric shears. I'm so much slower than that hand shearing. Great job!
Well done all great content as always Cammy !!👌👍

Did the boys start on you first!!...that looked a warm one, you all deserved (and earned)
🍻your pint🍻
Give Lizzy my love...love from Glenfarg.
Not quite!😂 Little did we know that was the start of plenty of warm days this summer, thanks will pass on to Lizzy 😊
Nice 👍
What do the sheep say to the farmer during shearing?
“Don’t Herd me”
How may times a year do you have to shear a sheep?...
Most especially in the UK would shear the sheep once a year in the summer, there would be a few that would shear them twice a year for different reasons, like the type of breed grows a lot of wool or from a management perspective that fits the system.
YAY! TANK TOPS AND MAN SWEAT! Love me a good gun show!💪💪💪💪🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
we have to make the most of it with such a short season! 🤣
@@TheSheepGame Here's to a HOT Scottish summer!
🍻 Baaa Baaa Baaa!
Hope it's cooling down for you, had ours done a couple of days ago, 30 degrees.and the fella i use is still shearing after 50 yrs.
Still seem to be in this heat wave, with lots of hot days this July! 🥵
When ya getting your hair cut Cammy. ONE dioralite per day. Lots water. Does the big yellow thing squash the fleeces ?
What's the machine over the wool sheet?
How's Archie's new farm doing for him
Are you in the middle of summer? I'm curious how our seasons in Alaska are different from yours.
I thought that Alaska would be in summer as well...being on the northern hemisphere? : )
Yes now we are right in the middle of our summer, this vlog was a few weeks ago more at the begging of the summer.
🙉you’ve been sheared🙈
I've had a bit taken off, wouldn't make it through the summer with all that hair on!
Merino shearer’s go down on that last front leg, in crossbreds we dont
No shearing sheds over there?
You've been sheard
I've had a little trim, but still seems to grow at some speed!
do you watch SheShepherds? She sheared a sheep with scissors!
Only 8 minutes? 🥺😢
Sorry a little shorter than others earlier in the year, once shearing is by should be able to have time to edit some longer ones 👍
Bambi!
Sheep are called hogs? Does this sheering harm the sheep in any way?
Make sure they don't use the shears on you
