Shearing the Loneliest Sheep in the World!

- čas přidán 2. 12. 2023
- Fiona was stuck at the bottom of a Scottish cliff for 2 to 3 years; dubbing her 'The Lonilest Sheep in the World'. She was perfectly healthy but her overgrown fleece was needing cut. After being rescued, her postive story made headlines around the world. The next day it was time to restore her to full health with a trip to the salon and finally, to her new home, where she will never be lonely again.

Those protestors saying people shouldn't visit Fiona are unaware of how people friendly sheep can be! Fiona is sweet, curious, and starved of affection. She needs visitors! The farm will manage it so she isn't overwhelmed and gets to just be a sheep with her new herd. ❤
Number one, they don’t actually know animals. Most farm animals are social, and don’t care whether they’re hanging out with a pig, a sheep, a cow, or even a human being.
But maybe more importantly, if they’re trying to protect animals, and perhaps get them more humanely treated, and not eaten quite as often, then they should want the general public to have close contact with animals and keep the pressure on farms to treat them humanely.
Anyway, nice job shearers!
it's not the ewes you've gotta worry about it's the rams had a particularly unruly one called Reuben that liked to climb into windows about a half story up from ground level and sitting on couches mafia style and ramming things.
@@xyreniaofcthrayn1195 Like an ovine Kray Brother.
@xyreniaofcthrayn1195 omg that's hilarious - and scary!
They don’t care about Fiona. If they did, they would be concerned about the amount of hair that was growing in the issues that it was causing her because of the matting. They just wanted that opportunity to get attention.
I can't believe how calm she's been through the whole rescue and shearing. For a sheep that wouldn't have had that much human contact before she got stuck, she's been so tolerant and even cooperative of the help. I hope she continues to thrive with friends when she's had time to recover from the traumatic events.
From personal experience sheep are excellent at reading body language, and can actually be quite intelligent. They just have this extreme flocking instinct that seems to override whatever common sense they might have.
I am presumingshe had some good farm life before she got stuck, so now she is home in a farm environment again, that is coming back to her. Humans feeding her, other sheep around, getting that heavy coat sheared off, she is finally feeling good again.
i'm getting the impression she might've already been a year or two old at the time she got stuck down the cliff, she's really not skittish of humans so she's been around them enough already (prey animals, domesticated or not, do need a good bit of early and continued handling for that)
Its probably because she's never had much human contact that she's so relaxed and trusting.
I bet she wondered if this day would ever come.
I've said it before, but it's worth saying again here...the goodness of man often stands tallest when bent over to help a creature in need.
That is beautiful!!! So true too!!
Not standing over a child in need? Ok then ….
@@frisco61 ??????????????
That is BEAUTIFUL!
I still can't believe Graham was one of the ones who went and got her! Like, the fact that two CZcamsrs were part of a sheep rescue kinda blows my mind.
Yeah they are buddies, they have been on each other’s channels and on one video Graham was drinking coffee from a Sheep Game mug
😢😢😢😢 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏💥💥💥💥❤❤❤👄
I know how awesome!!!! I'm just now watching this video & noticed THE HOOF G.P. & was like, "hey wait a minute!" LOL! I know that guy! I'm subscribed to his channel. I just subscribed to this one too cause I can't get enough of hearing those awesome accents!!! Plus I love the content as well.
@@noellecrenshaw4967i follow 5+ farmers’ CZcams channels from several different states. They all met at a convention several years ago and became fast friends. They have traveled to help their fellow creators with their farms. One of them has gotten nearly his entire family into being content creators for social media. I started out following @ImaSurvivorSanctuary then evolved from there to all the others. I actually live about an hour and a half from two of the farms.
Yes! Saw GP HOOF GUY !!!
Fiona’s temperament is exactly what needs to be passed on to future generations. Such a calm, trusting sheep. She knew instinctively that the men were there to help her. Cammie, great job on your 1st old school shearing! Fiona looks really good.
What do you mean?
Most people are like sheep’s nowadays without own will or goals.
Helpless bastards who follow everything politicians tell them to follow.
She’s probably been sheared before she went down that ravine
@@paulacoyle5685 They said in the video that she hadn't been. They know her original owner, I imagine that farmer was able to tell them whether she'd been sheared or not.
After 2 or 3 years alone she should be basically a wild animal… and she’s still sweet and calm and with great attitude towards human ❤️
The thing is, sheep are domesticated from several thousand years by us, and responsive to humans by selection so we can handle them. Also we bred out the shedding of the wool to have easy access to the fibre. They really need us and I am so glad the fellas got her out of solitary.
Also, people were coming and going taking care of her.
She weighs 10kilos more than me, but arguably healthier. (Must be the lifestyle? 😄)
@@fractionaldebtisfraud2187😂
Sweet Fiona. Finally she isn’t lonely anymore! She looks so much better after her grooming! Beautiful job!
You did amazing job on this sheep. I’m sure she feels 1000 times better. Thanks for caring for the support animal in need. ♥️😂
I've never seen ANY animal be so calm during something like sheering! You're a true professional and Fiona is a fluffy gem!
She’s wonderful, isn’t she? After all that suffering & she’s such a good girl. So glad they helped her!
She's so releaved.
Most sheep are. They don't like being handled at first, but in the end, sheering is not unpleasant.
A fluffy gem for sure!
@@loveyourneighbor9354 Cruel things!
I love how he keeps saying "You're okay lass". Such a sweetheart of a man. God bless you!
Ikr, what a great guy! ❤
Oh I loved those bits. So sweet!
Bless her heart. Don’t you just know how much better she felt after 3 years? Thank you so much for rescuing this beautiful baby!
What a magnificent lass .Head up, able to carry that ridiculous weight of wool about despite what must be real discomfort and who knows, probably pain too . Terribly hot in summer and so forth . Well done you people taking care of that burden for her❤
How kind to use hand shears. How altruistic to take the time and effort to rescue this chubby, sweet sheepie. How heartwarming to see humans being true shepherds of the Earth. Peace, Avie
It's strategic, it keeps the fleece long enough to give her some warmth for the cold they still have and also means less likely to nick the skin as you have to move slower with the shears. Down side is of course it's slower which if her temperament was different this could have really stressed the poor ewe's body and could be bad as with that much wool it would be hard to check vitals and such. Was quite lucky she was such a calm ewe.
The next time she's due, they can use the standard clippers and take the full amount. This shear was designed to get her comfortable and healthy.
This is a positive report in a world of negativity. She looks very healthy and relaxed and well cared for. A good rescue and all set for a safe and warm winter.
Yes! ❤
I had a friend who had some rescued sheep, and I loved visiting when she did spring shearing, they were practically dancing with joy when it was warm enough for them to get their winter wool sheared. 😊
And I spin yarn, so I'd always buy some to bring home.
I know that she is so relieved and happy. Thank God for people like u'll , that care n see about animals . She even looks happy
She’s a lovely girl, our Fiona. Thank you all so very much for helping her and rescuing her.
With sheep being such herd animals, she must’ve been lonely for those years when she was stranded. I’m amazed by how calm and trusting she was during both the rescue and subsequent shearing. So happy to see her safe and with her new friends! God bless you and your team for caring so much for Fiona 🥰.
You must not be an introvert.
I followed news of Fiona!! So glad she’s rescued!
Seattle, Wash.
@@ckkrons2338I'm definitely an introvert, many humans are. Sheep, however, are deeply social, and they need the security they feel in a herd, the same way people like you and I feel secure NOT being in a crowd of people.
She's like "Thank goodness that's over!" as she's settled in a cosy barn with friends. As herd animals that must've been so stressful for her having no companions. Well done that was the neatest trim I've ever seen on a very difficult weight. The care with the trim was second to none. Fantastic ♥
And it's the first trim, she's never been sheared. Amazing! ❤❤
You are all good, kind men. You all handled her with gentle respect. Im thankful she went to your farm. Blessings on your heads..😊
Thank the Lord for you people. You saved her, she's such an intelligent girl. Bless you from Canada.

I ve watched all the stuff on Fiona…..at all times she s been treated with care and dignity…can’t believe the trolls and their comments ..but then they ll do anything for publicity… you did a grand job TeamCammy😊
What on earth could they be protesting? The rescue and humane treatment of a poor sheep?
They think they know what they are talking about!! 😂😂 nothing better to do, wankers! 😂
I haven’t paid very close attention, but from what I gathered the farm has a “petting zoo” style area. One of the protesters concerns was that Fiona would be used as a celebrity prop to drum up business and “overhandled” by guests. That and some of them seem to be anti-farm in general.
They don’t have the capacity for rational thought. They would have found someone to harass on that day; why not farmers?
Lunatics will always lunatic....sadly
But they r closes 4 the winter and have said she's got a few months until they open to settle in. And if she dose not take she will be moved to a quite area away from the petting zoo
That poor ewe. Thank you for making her comfortable again.
Thank you soo much for saving and helping her. Well done everyone. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ ♥️
Fiona just vibing though her whole hair cut is an absolute mood. Thank you for taking care of this now famous gentle lady, this news story even made it to the local news out here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Cheers!
Yup! I'm in the Seattle, Washington area myself and I've seen the stories about her too. Pretty incredible.
I'm in Sno County. I'm so happy she's no longer alone
That's hard on sheep.
She knows that she’s being helped to get all that wool off her! It must’ve been so nice for her to stand up without all that weight!
@@sheilawelch9418Ah! I just moved here to Seattle!
@@amyhouston5817cool!
I used to work as a wool hander in NZ, but watching this hand shearer is a real skill.. well done you 😊 🐑
Despite narrating for us, he keeps reassuring her.❤
It's as though some people think they'll live and die unnoticed by the world unless they can get attention by finding something stupid to fuss about. You did a good thing here. Thank you for helping her. 😊
What a fantastic story - from her rescue, to her shearing, and to her forever home at Dalscone. All of you who were involved in each stage deserve our highest praise and thanks for a job well done with care and kindness for one of God’s lowliest creatures. Thank you, and blessings to each of you! 🙏🏼💕
I don't think God made any lowly creatures, and sheep that provide us with clothing and food are not lowly creatures. There perfect.
God bless you ☺️
Great story. Glad they shared this. 😊😊
God always makes things perfect.
Most of the time mankind messed up. Look at Adam and Eve. Adam was given the title deeds to look after the garden and he gave it to the devil .God sent his Son Jesus Christ and took the title deeds back .😊❤🎉
Sheep are far from lowly. Some of the greatest men were sheep herders (ie David) I think bugs are a little lower 😂
*looks at the platypus.* >_>
Imagine how that heavy wool pulled on her skin. Poor lassie, Fiona. Thank you for carefully hand shearing her to leave a protective winter coat. Thank you to all the rescue team! So happy to see her with other sheep, alone no more. 🥰🐑 💕❤️👍👍
I can't believe how well she is! She is in top form and very calm. Great job, it looked really difficult !
Fiona's life is going to be better now. She'll feel light and in turn that'll make her happier. God bless you for being steadfast in your determination to improve Fiona's life. You succeeded. Now let the protestors eat their words. And by the way.......that Scottish accent is one of the best I've ever heard. It's music!!!! By far THE best accent in the world.
I am a city girl who has never been anywhere near a sheep in my life. But all of you kind people have made me fall quite in love with Fiona! Cammy, maybe you and Fiona should sit down, put your heads together, and write a children’s book about Fiona’s story and how she was rescued and cared for by a group of kindly shepherds and farmers. And I’m pretty sure that there would be a serious market for some small dolls resembling Fiona (in her lovely shorn condition, of course. Thanks to all of you fine folks who put yourselves out to work together to save this fine lassie and give her a beautiful home. Happy Holidays to you and all of yours from myself in Spokane, Washington in the Pacific Inland Northwest region of the U.S.! And please give Fiona a little hug from Sandra!
That is such an excellent suggestion. It would be so informative and yet have all the feels. Now to get them to see your comment.
Lovely idea 🐑 That Fiona was so fat & healthy is amazing!
Great idea!!! For sure a bestseller. Fiona is a lovely sheep - I just hope she'll never be used for meat.
I’d buy a Fiona sheep doll!
I love the book idea. ♥️
Something that really gets me about Fiona is her temperament, alone for years and dodging humans yet she's so calm and friendly! I wish her nothing but the best life from now on, no more overgrown wool and some friends to hang out with plus a lot of food in her belly!
How lovely. What a beautiful girl she is! Well done not only on the rescue but on the shearing.
What fine, kind men you are! Your families should be proud of you!
I am sooo glad that you got to shear her and that we can enjoy this video, Cammy! I almost teared up by it. What a glorious job you did and how sweet was Fiona, completely trusting towards you and the process. She stood up and then, after two stumbles, she suddenly raised her head up, like she was feeling the wow of this sudden freedom. Almost 10 kilo's of wool off her back. Magnificent! This is actually worldnews worth watching.
What a beautiful job you did, so caring on how you did it.
Awwwww. She was such a good girl. I'm sure it was a relief to get all that weight off her and then go to a forever home.
I saw this on the hoof GP he was one of the 5 Scottish farmers who rescued Fiona... great job❤
How lucky is Fiona to have everyone looking out for her welfare, she seems to appreciate all the care she has had!❤️
So happy to see Fiona at her new home and with her wool trimmed. I really appreciate that you all took into consideration that she would need a layer of wool heading into the winter. She is lovely. I hope that her fleece can be salvaged, but it will be a huge job to get it cleaned and prepared for roving or spun into yarn. A huge thank you to everyone involved in getting her rescued and settled in at her new home. 🐑🐑🐑
she does seem quite content. she was very calm while being sheared. so glad she now has friends and feels free enough not to look for a place to hide. you guys have taken great care of her and she really is adorable. 🐑🐑🐑🌷🌱🌷🌱
This was fascinating to watch. You did a great job shearing her and you were so kind. I am very impressed. How nice that you trimmed her a bit to make her look good. You guys are heroes. Thanks.
Not enough superlatives to describe the team who rescued Fiona!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Is it ridiculous to cry over a sheep?! What a great story!
A beautiful story. So glad she’s where she’s going to thrive. Lots of friends and lots of love. ❤
Good for you helping rescue Fiona!❤❤❤
Awww, she looks beautiful now❣️ She even paused for a few seconds once she walked, as if to think “Oooo, I feel so light now!” Did she just wink at the camera at the very end of the video?😮😁 She was so perfectly behaved throughout her whole shorn. I think it helped hearing your calming voice and she might’ve sensed that you were helping her. God bless all of you who rescued her!😇🙏🏼🐑
She was soft eyed from the moment you had her. What an incredible story and a talented team. ❤
Brilliant video, been searching for weeks, not savvy on my phone, Cammy, your rescue team and Fiona have made a bad day very very happy one. Thanks for making me cry with happiness 😊😊😊😊😊😊
What a beautiful name - Fiona - and what a soft personality. She is an example for everyone. Thanks to everyone who rescued and clipped her!
She IS Absotively Majestic, Cam! You guys did a FANTABULOUS job rescuing her wooly little fanny and as a sheep owner/lover/immense, fan I am grateful!!! ❤🐑🇺🇸❤🐑🇺🇸❤
Her woolly little WHAT???!!
@@DanBeech-ht7sw fanny..bottom, rear, ass, tail end, dupa, dumper...FANNY!!!
@@WkdWnch007 it's a Scottish sheep, and that's not where a sheep's fanny is in Scotland.
@@DanBeech-ht7sw strange, having raised several breeds of sheep for most of my life including Scots that's what even the vets called them. Whatever you do in Scotland such as abandoning sheep down cliffs is obviously sus. ❤🐑❤🇺🇸❤🐑❤
@@WkdWnch007 Free range sheep, free to make bad decisions on its own. Not my sheep. However, in Scotland (where this sheep is from) a fanny is a vagina.
She’s such a good girl oh my goodness. Her temperament is just like a calm puppy. I love her 😄
So gentle...and not hurting the sheep...great job!
I just saw this pop up in my feed again and I just had to watch! The rescue by Cammy @The Sheep Game , Graeme @The Hoof GP, and everyone else (apologies to those whose names I am leaving out!) who didn’t give up on this sweet girl! What a treacherous rescue effort and such a rewarding ending/new beginning for Fiona. She’s absolutely lovely! Great shearing job, Cammy! ❤😊love to all of you from South Carolina 🇺🇸
Fiona is adorable. She ran after the shearing then stopped short as if to say “ how did I run? Where’s all that heavy weight, I feel fantastic”
So true! I noticed it after I read your comment
You're a grand man Cammy, you and all the team have done a wonderful thing. I used to farm up in Cromarty nearly 50 years ago and I know what it's like getting sheep back up those cliffs 🐑🐑🐑
thank you God bless you!
That smile at the end and her calm demeanor throughout says it all 😊. Fiona was so happy to be rescued then relieved of nearly 10 lbs of matted, stinking, dirty wool. This guy did an amazing job in the matter of minutes while making sure Fiona was as comfortable as possible the entire time. Thank you, sir, for caring and putting her health and safety first. Anyone with the ability to comprehend things can see she is in the right place to live her best life here on out. People really should do their own thorough research before protesting things they don’t truly understand; and, don’t forget to fact check your sources.
I learned about Fiona from Graeme the Hoof GP and I'm really glad to see her get tidied up with a nice shearing -- she looks fluffy and lovely. Watching from Utah, USA.
likewise, but from Australia
Not sure if you saw, but Graeme was there for the shearing! That’s him in the Hoof GP hat. Looks like his boys came along for the ride.
What an absolute sweetheart. She is so calm and trusting. Thank you all for rescuing and caring for her.
Poor girl! I like that she was calm through the whole process, like she knew you were helping her
Thank you for sharing. Watching that just made me feel good.
What an awesome video. Thank you Cammy and all concerned in the rescue and ongoing and forever care of Fiona
how awesome it must feel for her to do something as simple as scratching that itch!❤️
Thank you for the rescue the hoof Gp and what a beautiful shearing job you gave her Cammy. So nice to see her at the end with friends and in a big family. ❤ ❤ ❤ Great job
I love how friendly and relaxed she is, what a beautiful character. Love to you Fiona! ❤
I listened to the fed by farmers podcast yesterday chatting all about her rescue, it was a great yarn.
She’s quite the adorable sheep! Congrats on her safe rescue and I’m glad you got that huge blanket off of her, what a relief it must have been for her
What a beautiful lassie she is! Amazing to see all that wool come off her Cammy! The rescue have done such a fantastic piece of work. Thank you all❤️🇦🇺🏴
I am severely depressed and this lifted my spirits to see her new lease on life! Thank you for helping her!
That was a great job. Happy life Fiona.
Thank you all for everything that you did for Fiona. She appeared to know what you were doing with the shearing and was happy to enjoy the pampering session
She is so chill for not being around humans for years. So glad to see she is thriving.
How INCREDIBLE!!! Imagine how awesome she's got to feel...that is so amazing!
Compassion and skill, what a combo. Thank you.
Clearing out sheds on a derelict small holding we bought, we found antuque hand shears, and also an iron push-along potato / seeding "pram", and an old Welsh oven (iron pot and lid). Seeing these old skills in use is great, and good to see Fiona getting in the groove too.
Fiona is precious. Bless the rescuers and the kind shearer.
Aww I’m glad Fiona is doing so well. I heard of this story from being a follower of Graham so I’m happy to have stumbled upon it. Fantastic.
This sheep, Fiona, has been the topic of conversation for a few years now. Do your research please.
Sheep shearing is an incredible skill, and this chap is one of the best.
Incredible story.
I’m glad that Fiona has been rescued and is back with other sheep. It’s reassuring to see every being, including one sheep, being cared for.
Great job Cammy ,Fiona is so chilled out ,she trusts you because she knows you're trying to help her . She is such a majestic girl ❤️
I love the way Fiona the lonely sheep was able to scratch herself with her hind leg for probably the first time in years after shearing, you all are really impressive by the way you rescued and now care for Fiona the lonliest sheep, God bless you and your families ❤
Grew up on farm in Canada. What has always been wonderful and heartwarming is how the farming community stand by each other and help each other out. Something I have observed for decades. Something many people do not comprehend. It takes a village for a lot of things to succeed. Kudos to all who played their part in this delightful success story.
Bless your heart Cammy. The people that are protesting must be ignorant of the help and relief Fiona is getting. I believe she is holding so still because she knows you are helping her. Fiona is so pretty.
Who would want a herd animal isolated and weighed down by filthy matted fur? Yes,they are ignorant.
This has been the most incredible story. It was amazing that she was even found! I watched the day that you guys made it down to the bottom of that cliff,and brought her back out of there. I was holding my breath praying that non of you would get hurt. It seemed like she knew that she was finally getting out! It was pretty incredible that she wasn’t kicking like crazy! Thanks so very much for sharing this update 👍🫶🏻‼️
There's something mesmerizing and cathartic watching Sheep get shorn, especially with Scottish accents describing the process. Apparently by the number of views, I'm not alone. And now, neither is Fiona. Great job.
I'm so glad those farmers rescued Fiona.
Great job Cammy and everyone involved in her rescue. She seemed to know she needed the help of a shepherd(s). ❤️
It's so sweet to see her treated gently and I am sure she LOVES having friends much more than having freedom. I can't believe how stocky she is! Well done.
This was amazing to watch. Such a sweet sheep - so cooperative. And your patience is beyond belief. Great job -she looks wonderful.
Awesome shearling. Fiona looks less stressed
Thank you very much 💖
Cam, you did an absolutely remarkable shearing job! Thank you for helping that poor sheep up the cliff and for shearing her.
It was very interesting to see you use the hand shears.
Yes, it was very interesting! Never have seen anyone shear by hand. GOOD JOB! 👍🏿 🇺🇸✨️✨️
What a beautiful lady Fiona has turned into after your shearing. She was so calm. Thanks again to you and all the others for rescuing this loneliest sheep. She seems happy in her new home with her friends.
Great job camy. I've never seen a more gentle shearer
Just wonderful work, gorgeous people and such a lovely lass😊
Bravo za vas koji ste ovcu oslobodili tolikog tereta.
Fantastic hand shear job & great to leave her in her undies - not naked! Cammie you are so gentle & caring & I love the way you talk to the sheep & explain what you’re doing.
The rescue clip was great - my favourite bit was her nibbling at the grass through the hole in the bag on the way up! Beautiful temperament. Greetings from S Australia
Wool underwear 😂
@@paulk8532 Underwool!
that close up of the wool at ~6:00 was so beautiful. the textures are just magnificent.
Oh wow, they trimmed her up and made her all pretty.
That's great. Good job boys.
Soooo precious!!❤❤ Thank you to all involved in her rescue and shearing. ❤
