  • Join me on a tour of Sean's hand made sheep shed up on Orkney.
    Sean Cursiter and his team gutted out an old slatted shed and invested a lot of time and money into making this incredible slatted sheep shed.
    Let me know what you think.

    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 CZcams 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.

      Not only well designed, but superbly executed. That's the best galvanizing job I've seen done on welded steel in a long time. Really top quality. It'll last many years and only stainless could perform better... At 4 times the cost.

    Awesome sheep shed, brilliant job. There is going to be a lot of envious shepherds out there wishing they had come up with this practical and sustainable layout. I am sure it will pay for itself in no time at all. Happy sheep = happy farmers. Good Luck to Sean and family.

    Sean is quite a genius to know what he wants in his shed and be able to design and build it too! The thing I love the most about him is that he isn’t building this shed for himself, but for his grandkids and their grandkids……thinking of the future always pays off. I’d love to see future videos of his shed when it’s in full swing. Thanks Camy for this video, just amazing! 👏👏❤️❤️🐑🐑🐑

      I was wondering if Simon made it. My blind lamb ended up so fat because his only pleasure in life was a bit of cake which he expected when he heard my foot fall. He was slaughtered on farm for ourselves as I would not have been allowed to send him to market. The fat trimmings made some coarse washing soap.

(I'm also itching for the lambing season so it's fine to get some interesting stuff to tide me over until then) Cammy, I've been away for a time, but I've with you since the HoofGP plugged your channel a couple years back and I must say that your filming skills and your natural charm has become a study in good humour and I love watching just to have a laugh and learn about sheep because one can never know too much, eh?

    Cammy when I saw this advertised, I just new it was going to be worth the watch….but really, it hasn’t disappointed. Sean….you’re a planing genius…this is your claim to fame. Bravo I’m sure it’s been a hard slog for u Emma and your team . Cammy thnx so much for doing this feature……and Part 2….bring it on

    Sean certainly knows the definition of innovation. He should hold onto to some of that design to help pay from the family.
    Just imagine Cammie and Sandi having that.
    If he set cement road dividers against portions and dropped those panel, he would have feeders inserting cattle trough shaped metal.
    Just amazing..well done Sean.
