Love seeing the wee ones compacting the fleeces in the wool bags!
HAHA, these videos never fail to be a pure joy to watch. The kids sitting here laughing along too. Especially love the part where we went from "lady in red" to dubstep! LOL, great job. My hubby doesn't believe your radio plays meatloaf and other pop from the Americas. I said, "what do you think they listen to?" He says, "Scottish music". I was like "okay, so here in Kentucky we only listen to Bluegrass and Gospel??? No!"
Love drone shots, it's great to see how farms are set out. 🍷🍺 🐶🐾🐾🐶
Aye i think it adds a nice change to the videos!
I will bring my own coms and cutters
I am so glad I found your channel. I watch HoofGP and Tom Pemberton and now The Sheep Game. You would think with what I watch on UA-cam, I was a UK farmer but nope. Just city girl from Texas.
Fairplay Cammy! I'm actually blown away that you've the time to be a police officer on top of all you're already doing with the sheep farming, scanning and shearing!!! 🤯🤯🤯😲😲😲
No one would think less of you for taking a handy job on top of all you're doing. My respect for you has gone from a 10 to a 25 after that!! 😁👏👏👏
You make shearing look easy and it is not an easy job. You have to try it to know how hard it really is. Great job.
Great videos!
Going through chronologically am up to 2July 2020.
Amazing Jill thank you!
Came over here from Hoofgp. I’ve been watching for a while but went back to beginning. Love the drone footage. Very interesting to see farm layout. Are some breeds harder to shear than others ?
Great video again. Great to see the young kids involved.
Cheers! It’s a family affair! 😁
Enjoyed
Beautiful drone shots!
Millions thanks FOR sharing YOUR video.. looking forward FOR MORE uploading video from YOU .. I really enjoyed watching .. thanks again..
Thanks for watching!
Good vid again with drone adding quality shots.Archie does mahussive undermine and that’s why he’s flying ahead of you😂🐑🏴👍
Massive undermine, fills the comb, better footwork.... 😂😂 i’ve a lot left to learn!
Keep producing the vids - as a shearer I always look forward to seeing your next ones - your the Scottish MN millennial farmer
Legend thanks mate! Got some belters coming from my trip to Northumberland, England!
Wish you were closer, my neighbor has one sheep, hasn’t been sheared in 5 or 6 years. Even though there’s a water tank in the pasture, he “can’t catch it!” I’d move the water tank into the pen attached to the pasture and shut the gate on it. I love watching your videos.
Im a sheep farmer not one of those vegans but thats pure animal cruelty from your neighbour
Long time Judy! Sounds like they need to call in someone to help them catch it!
When I can shear sheep tell me a day and I will come and help you get most of your sheep done the sheep game is the best
Grate vid those farms had some grate setups really got me thinking about a few i would like to put in
Aye it’s braw seeing them from the sky!!
Great job 👍 always love watching you...
Cheers Kyle!
much hard work I seem in this video. So glad it was you Boy you put in you time well..granny90
Haha 10:10... you're lucky Archie didn't run the cutter and comb over you too!
To be fair it would have been great Vlog content 😂
Good shearing, blackie wool only worth 5cent over here that's if they'll take it.
Aye i saw that one Facebook. On a positive note lambs are up 20p/kg on the year.... swings and roundabouts...
We will yoos your trailer
Top man Cammy
Gid man! Got some belters coming from Northumberland! Tonnes of drone work!
Brilliant video lads keep them coming. Am a shearer too down in North Yorkshire but not in you lads league!!! Going to have a go at making a video too so keep an eye out. Cheers guys.
Cheers Rodney all the best with it!
Music issues you said pity as while I am watching your videos from a hospital bed everyone here in crosshouse are enjoying them immensely What about a live bluegrass band or some more Scottish.p.s I purchased the cd that you used some music from , only joking though you have enough to deal with but keep up your videos they fair provide a bit of light relief sent links to America as relies over there just love the Ayrshire accent and hair
Thanks for that comment Jim that’s awesome! I’m only 5 miles from Crosshouse!! Hope ur on the mend!!
Well done guys and Archie make Archie the next time you give Aidan Elliott from Donegal a big shout
I sold texel Suffolk cross hoggets yesterday for €185 that’s euro -
,
Top price for the day🐑🐑😂 how does that compare to Scottish sheep prices
Store lambs are making crazy 😜 money 31.5 kgs sold at 89 euros/ 35kgs @87 /euros top price lambs at 45 kgs sold @129.50
How does that compare to Scottish prices
Keep up the good work love it cheers Aidan donegal 🐑🐑🐑👍🤔
Great money Aidan! We’re not far off those prices. It’s been wet here so i’ll probably try and get some lambs for market monday... see if i have any ready!
That was cute with the little girl. Then you acting like one that was hilarious. I saw a video of Sandi's tonight ok well it's about two thirty in the morning for me. She's been getting preemies not much bigger than her hand about. I would be super crying!!! My now 29 year old great niece told me a few years ago that I'm just (sensitive). Anyway good with the video. I'm just watching what pop's up to watch. Maybe one more for tonight. I was on my feet for four and a half hours making homemade Chili. I finally gave up on soaking the bean's. I'll just ramble on. Later.
Haha thanks Danielle enjoyed that! Hope u got the Chilli sorted 😁
@@TheSheepGame have you seen Sandi's video today. Her momma lamb Goat that's been slowly dying had three babies but only one girl lived. She knows it's time to let her rest now forever. I'm crying now. But there was a mom that had healthy triplets she showed us though. After I get everything watched then I watch whatever videos of your's pop's up. Later.
Braw video. Good timing for my cup of tea today! That's some shed, Robinsons??
You come across any flystrike down your way? I've had to give the ewes an extra blast of Dysect this year so far
Landward should of had action shots of the shearing like that!!
I take it you are coll isle of lewis if so i have not seen much flystrike so far this year on the island
@@davidnicolson6443 I'm actually on the island of Coll next to tiree. Aye that's good, long may it continue 👍
@@CollCrofter oh right i see
It was hellish for flystrike in May. Weather has really changed now and a lot of colder wet days. Reminds me of 2017. Dry May then lots of rain!
When is the landward film on telly and why not use a counterbalance weight instead of the knicker elastic and more gear chat please comb types I.e. short bevel or long thin cutters to full thickness just a thought as I see so many guys using what they bought or swapped with no thought to what’s best and wonder why shearing is like pushing a railway sleeper up a sand dune with the mother inlaw on top Cheers Cammy
Haha great craic Jim! It was on last week so it’s on the Iplayer now. It was just a 5 minute bit. My next video has a bit more chat about gear and i unbox a new hand piece as well. Should be out tomorrow!
Why is every clipper I get cuts the sheep while clipping ,do you????
It happens sometimes Christopher but we try to limit that was correct gear and proper technique.
Hey Christopher, I think it's a two fold thing. Ie. Both the sheep and the Shearer. A sheep that is thin will be easier to cut, if the wool is not risen it's easier to cut, a sheep that is calm but makes a sudden jerk is easier to cut.
A Shearer who is tired will start making the odd cut , a Shearer who's comb and cutter need changing and are having to really push through the fleece will start making cuts.
All the above should only result in a small nick here and there.....worst case scenario is a so called shearer trying to go way faster then their actual ability. This results in multiple cuts to every ewe and is horrible to see.
It's why I love shearing my own flock. I'm slow and only do about 50 ewes in the day( with lots of breaks 😁) but vary rarely cut them. This is why I enjoy watching Cammy and Archie. To shear the numbers they get through and see how they shear so cleanly at that speed is mighty. ....and of course seeing the craic the boys have
Any ‘the sheep game’ merchandise on sale yet??
Not yet mate a few people have asked i might need to order some!
A granny from the states wants to know, what is the difference between a tupp and a hogg?
A tup Hogg is a male sheep that was born last year and it’s usually it’s first time being clipped. Then it becomes a shearling tup/tup. Once it’s clipped.
Hey Linda, Hogg is short for hogget. Ie. Any sheep that is no longer a lamb but not really an adult yet. Teenager:)
Hi Linda the guys have answered pretty well!!
Double bubble for rams
Yeah that’s the way
Archie got Welsh singlet on again cammy what part of Wales has he worked
Lleyn peninsula, it was Delwyn Williams ( I think )
We actually talked about it a bit on the podcast i did with him on Patreon. He has fond memories!
Nice part cammy being from South Wales I shore for Ian mowatt up in Inverness think it was evanton near Dingwall loved it back in 1998 we where using 7.5 ton lorry with race same as you are using now but on trailers Ian was so switched on to shearing the race was way before anyone had see them before the nz lads shearing with me had never see it before they loved it
Sounds a great gig i don’t know the chap! Are u still shearing?
@@TheSheepGame just started again 20 plus years out of the shearing game grave digging instead but after last year had to start shearing again and realised I’m not as old as I thought and actually I want to shear again loved it watched your vids booked on to British wool course this year in Wales after watch you with hislop and thought I can break those bad habits with a course work smarter not harder keep posting cammy trust me they make a difference ordered some gear from Dave at highway in my day Tom Wilson owned higher but he’s now moved to nz but it’s nice to keep Bussiness the way it should be grave digging has been good to me but finding shearing again has given me more motivation over money graves to dig earn more but being happy it more important keep it up mate 👍💪
Hi cammy the clipping seems to be going quite good with you down there do you know of any good 2nd hand blade grinders about
Hi Douglas! Thanks! A 2nd hand grinder is a hard thing to come by!! Usually they are sold without being advertised! I just bought the Chinese one from Horner shearing. Does my job!
Do you charge by the sheep or job
For small numbers of sheep we would charge by the job, and then for larger groups of sheep it would be a rate per sheep.
You will never get a negative comment with that kind off t shirt (Norge ) 💕🇳🇴🐑 swing the hammer boys
Archie and I will be heading to Norway in September! Should get plenty Vlogs then!
What’s the most you have clipped in a shift
In one day? 453. Today. 😁
Braw video 😁
Thanks Jane 😁
Cammy what brand of gear do ye work with?
Heiniger everything! Even making the switch to the new jeans!!
Braw shed
Yeah the boy did well!!
Is 90 ewes a day a good number to clip for a 16 year old?
That’s a lot!! 16 year old boy working with me last couple days did his first 150. U don’t want to do too much at that age! Body still growing. A day on and then a day off is a good way to go!
The Sheep Game ye that’s what I’m doing at the moment but got 110 to do in a day so that’s going to a big day coming up but I want to go over to New Zealand and clip sheep for a living when I’m older
First
Your accsent the is very uneak I’m from ireland and would not know were you are from
Hi John i’m based in Ayrshire on the south west of Scotland! We probably don’t grow as much grass as u boys but we do ok😁
Has Archie been into many Merinos,
Yeah i believe he’s done a lot in Ozzy.
