- Lambing is almost finished so we are filling in the days by starting our fly prevention work! This is a really important time of year and so many farmers get caught out with fly strike,. We do our best not to be one of them!
Hope you enjoy and feel free to ask any questions,
Cammy

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.
Would love to see “behind the scenes” vlogs. Do whatever is best for you Cammy. We will always be for the ride. How good is Lizzie doing the work with Jock on her back. 👏👏👏👏
Most definately behind the scenes would be great.
Wouldn't that be funny if Lizzy filmed all Cammys disasters?
On the other hand she could film him like he's a big HOLLYWOOD 🌟 star. 😕
I agree with the others who suggested you do what you need to do for you and your family. I’ll enjoy whatever video you put out. Kudos to Lizzie for carrying wee Jock on her back while working. Doesn’t look like she misses a step. All the best!
I love seeing lizzies sass, "you need to do your hair" (clippers) you know she is not wrong cammy. Hopefully you get to it before summer sets in looks like it could be quite insulating. She is lovely you have a good one there
It keeps the heat out too though🤣
@@TheSheepGame I love the hair honestly, but we all know Lizzie is the boss. 😆
Image matters ...his style agent will be dictating how every curl must lie for each shot.
Actually thought you might get a bit of a clip when you picked the clippers up to show😆 I have to say, I side with Lizzy....you could do with a bit of a trim 🤣 As for the videos, do what's best for you...an occasional shear to show newcommers how you do it, but I love meeting the farmers that you work with.
@@suzanneippolito8716 He should wear his hair like he wants. It's boring when everyone is the same!
Yeah, mixing up the format will be fine-I personally love the culture of the country as much as the sheep. A few cameos of sheep here and there, farmers on their land, and banter sounds great.
I'm happy with any & all content, whatever enables you to look after yourselves too! All your content is entertaining, informative & very much appreciated! 💛
Exactly.
CAMMIE WOOT WOOT ABSOLUTELY LOVE A SHEEP GAME NOTIFICATION
🙋🏻♂️🤣
I’m missing some also🧐
Me to!!
I’m all for behind the scenes and chats to the farmers vlogs, look forward to them.
Enjoyed the video, nice to see what goes on with your day to day work. Perhaps Lizzie needs a camera to show her working day when you’re off gallivanting round the country shearing.
Wow. Look at the sizes of the lambs already. You must be giving the mother's a great diet for them to be able to feed those stonking lambs
Lizzie, you rock! Toting wee Jock about as you work. Fern is coming along well too.
Have all the lambs been born now?
Your regular Go Pro works well, no need for the Canon in my opinion. I enjoy the behind the scenes, banter and drone footage the best. How is the Viking (Sean?) doing with his lambing?
Almost! Just 15 left to lamb😁
@@TheSheepGame 😊
I agree; stick with the gopro. Canons are a bit much for what youre doing outdoors. Good chice in general though.
Definitely give us behind the scene footage. Love hearing the stories of the other farmers. And seeing the scenery of your beautiful country.
Lovely video, love that Jock is usually on hand, he will be a pro by 5. The videos should be however you want, you always make them interesting. Always nice to meet the folks you have around you. Do love the scenery shots.
Behind the scenes sounds good. With your sense of humor, it will always keep your followers. You Cammy are a natural.
Good idea with the behind the scenes videos. I loved what you did with lambing. More content but easier for you. It doesn’t have to be cinematic for us to watch and love it. We like seeing what you, Lizzie and the rest are up to. Thanks Cammie!
Lovely helmet ⛑️ 🪖 😍
Can never get enough of you all taking care of the sheep. It is amazing how much you care for the flock. Thank you for all you do. ❤️❤️
Your Lizzie is a hardy lass indeed! Show us whatever interests you to show, that’s what brought everyone here in the first place.
I see Cammie, I give him a thumbs up!
Like the idea of chat with the farmers. You know how the ginger guy with the moustache on @ tom pembertons goes on about drains, silage - great insites. No doubt there are others out there who can offer insights into their pet subjects.
When you do chatting with farmers, other shearers, etc., I can't understand a word they're saying anyway. I like to see men working hard, flexing those biceps, lol. There is something mesmerizing about watching sheep get sheared. But you do whatever is best for you and I'll enjoy whatever you put up. This lambing series has been awesome. Loved every minute of it!
Lizzie is a legend. I’ve finally put up a profile picture. Cracking video as always cammy
Hi from MI, USA! I agree that Cammie needs a clip b4 shearing starts. Maybe have short spot in next vlog, Lizzy can shear Cammie's 'wool'! 😂
I think you should film what & how you can this season. We just want to follow you on your shearing travels. It's cool to listen to background bantering between shearers & helpers. 🥰
Do what works best for you. I will watch everything you post. God Bless
I was just thinking about Cammy & his sheep. So happy to get a notification! Perfect timing!❤️
Love the idea of the easy to edit videos anything that makes your life easier.
Some workers you have there with Lizzy and Jock. I see you’ve added modelling to their list of duties 😂 (expertly modelled I have to say).
Lol yes I noticed that too.
Cammy I love learning from you. Thanks explaining everything to us sheep fans.🐑🐑🐑
You've got a young family to take care of. , you do as much as you want when you want, we'll love it, no matter how short or seldom.
Hello Cammy, I am new to the channel and I can't get enough of all the types of content you provide. I have been bingeing your videos from this video all the way back. To February 3rd 2021 which was the day my father passed due to cancer. That video made me happy, because of how gleeful you always seem to be. I am happy for you and your family keep up the awesome work.
Thanks so much Keith! Sorry for your loss. I lost mine suddenly in 2015. Brutal. Glad u enjoy the videos.
I think that you have to do what is easiest for you Cammy, also the majority of your audience will be happy to see you, Lizzie, and whatever job you are doing for the sheep 🐑👍🏻! Great wee video, thanks Cammy !
Your proper getting around now Cammy. Wee celebrity. On Landward and now on Tom Scott. Was quality. Two of the best CZcamsrs together.
Thank you! It’s a crazy world!!
@@TheSheepGame crazy yes but we’ll deserved. Your a brilliant presenter, so natural and assured which makes you a top CZcamsr and for an easy transition to the tele box. Your hard work is paying off!
Friends - I too enjoy the banter! Bring it on. We will hear lots of interesting Scots and accents. Let’s embrace it.
I was getting worried hadn't seen a video for a few days 😅
Organised chaos pretty well describes what you are doing here. It is more interesting to see behind the scenes and meet the other farmers you sheer for. If they are willing to share the basics of their stories that would be a bonus.
The only thing missing from the flockwatch “sword” is the lightsaber sound effects! You know you want it!🤣🤣🤣
Love the idea about behind the scenes footage. Honestly, I don't know how you managed to get out your daily vlogs *during* lambing season. I thought that you'd crash and burn long ago
It's lovely to see wee Jock in the game bright and early. I assume that you're hoping that he will follow in your footsteps and keep your farming going.
Cheers from Seattle, WA USA!
Behind the scenes sounds like a great idea Cammy. Thank you for going the extra mile to share with us.
I love how your Lizzy’s smile spreads across her face as she turns away when she realizes the camera is pointing at her. Watching her work with the wee Jock strapped to her back, I’m amazed at this beautiful, smart, hardworking, shy young woman who doesn’t know how beautiful she is. She’s the complete essence of wife and mother. She’s certainly a blessing.
Cammy what ever you film I’ll watch I am a loyal viewer so the more the merrier xxx
It is astonishing how you know your sheep individually!! I am lost, but I trust your confident words.
From most southern part of Canada. Love your blogs. Am an old Oncology nurse married to an engineer from Garelochhead, and Edinburg, so was taught Scots as a second language. This was a rough year for him as emergency surgery mid December hit a glitch an he is just almost back to 90%. I am a sheep fanatic and we follow Sandi Brock who is about 150 from us... But we love to see the sheep in the fields and to hear the Scots and see the land. Yesterday watching your ferry adventures to get to Arran cheered Peter Simon up, quite a bit, as he is a West Coast Lad. He and a friend once begged a trip to Arran, on a fishing boat.
Re shearing videos, would love to see more background, more behind he scenes, and more getting there, as I too am in love with the landscape. We were at Glenelg a few years ago, have travelled quit a bit in Scotland especially Badenoch, husband's last name. We were to go over for our son's wedding in England and more Scotland in 2020, but Covid changed the wedding to 10 people, so all family in Canada had front row Zoom seats. Thanks for your informative and fun clips.
Thumbs up is definitely deserved 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Idle banter with farmers is great, and chattin to fellow farmers is what we like to do here in Ontario, Canada.. that sounds good
Good to see you wearing a helmet. I wrecked on a 3 wheeler when I was changing irrigation when I was in high-school and that was not a fun experience
Tom Scott sent me, subscribed!
Thanks!!
I'm a Tom Scott convert. Love the channel. Let's see the doggos
Thank you!
Great video. Lovely to see what work is done with the sheep. I'd love to see some background when you're shearing. It would be nice to hear the farmers commenting. 👍🐑🐏🙂
The wee lambs are so adorable
What's easiest for you is the answer. Banter and Farmer interviews would be grand. We will always tag along with whatever you decide.
It would be interesting to hear from the farmers who call you in to do their shearing. ☺👍
Best moment in my day! 🎉
Your idea of interviewing other sheep producers about their history in sheep along with the usual banter is an excellent idea. Of course I love the drone shots and any views of the countryside you can provide as you live in a beautiful part of the world. Years ago I was talking with an SA vet and he said they had a slow release worming bolus for sheep made by Merck. It was never available, here, but I thought what a great idea, to cut down the number of times you have to handle the sheep. It's really nice to see you advocate for the welfare of sheep.
Are you telling me a chance to see a real raw and laid back you in your surroundings JUST BEing???
I'm all in, why not!!! Let's chill and enjoy a day!!! We all deserve one! Let those that need to work work
Lizzy must have a back of steel carrying Jock around and working hard. Great video again Guys. I absolutely enjoy your videos so much. 😊
Vlog style videos are great as well its always nice to see a day/week on the farm.
A video of the day in the life of Baby Jock would be fun.
I will enjoy WHATEVER you offer! You do what you think will be interesting. God willing, I'll be here.
Yea, time for lamb learning! Keep him in line Lizzy, hi Big Jock, great work All
Recently started binging your videos. I would like to thank you for showing as much as you do. Im sure you take revenue hits on your videos pretty often. Just know many viewers appreciate your transparency despite youtube’s incentives to keep everything “clean”. I look forward to purchasing a sweatshirt of yours in the future. Great videos, thank you.
Good to hear why your farmer clients use their breed. How they market and their target weights for age. Wish someone did a cattle blog like yours.
Yes to all the vlog suggestions you made. I love your interviews of the farmers and joking with their kids and when the kids do their own vlog for you if they’re up to it. The best parts are your commentary with your quick wit and funny thought of what the sheep are thinking. Love the drone shots of the dogs working and sheep moving. Maybe interview willing farmers wives and show the food they make for you and the banter while drinking a cold brew. I like to watch the shearing too especially when you are competing against a buddy. But really anything you do is great don’t stress yourself out trying to make it smooth and perfect. Jumping around from scene to scene is fine if you give us a heads up telling what’s going on.
Of course we’d love to see Lizzie and lil Jock as well if she is willing even to just put up a camera she doesn’t have to talk and entertain.
As she is camera shy, maybe put up surveillance cameras in the work areas?
Great job to all .love seeing little jock and the dogs at work. Thanks Cammie
Great team work…and don’t those lambs look good and so healthy…great body shape. The camera gives very clear images. Looking forward to shearing, and love you touring around..gives good variety
You could let the camera run and post it as is as far as I’m concerned. I enjoy all of it. I love the sound of the sheep and lambs.
I don't need music, but more scenery views, interviews with the farmers & locals would be nice. I love watching you work sheep with the dogs & friends, I love the shearing & lambing too.
I like the idea of the behind the scenes but really enjoy watching people shear
Cammy you need a sneering me thinks lol look forward to your videos . You and Sandi always make me smile and your lovely wife is such a gem . Fancy carrying a Bub on your back ! Man I’ve worked in an office all,of my life and lived on a property for a few yrs I had 30 chickens 3 ducks and a lot of fruit and veg . I thought that was hard work. Who am I kidding nothing compared to you guys so a huge Aussie thumbs up xoxo
Looks like Lizzy is getting comfortable with the camera.👏👏👏👏
Great looking lambs! Your suggestion regarding the behind the scenes would be great. Jock should be ready to help out in a month or two... Lizzie again is wonder woman. Take care.
would love to see more of the countryside and hear from the farmers, speaking in scots of course! and for the purists who want nothing but sheep shearing, you could make a couple of vlogs of sheep, sheep and more sheep, with music, voice over for interesting stuff. was looking for your video for days...it didn't disappoint as usual.
I would love to see behind the scenes. Lizzy is superwoman, working and having wee jock on her back. It’s amazing how quickly the lambs start to fill out and grow. Loving your vlogs 🐑
You do whatever works for you. Take care of yourself. I appreciate any footage you share.
My darling Scotish cousins. I would love to see you give a bit more info on the farmer/shepherd on the flocks that you shear. A short interview acknowledging the care, hard work & effort they put into their flock. On a more morbid note. At my Mum's funeral we had a hell of a time finding and collating photos for the little montage of her life (she was 98 when she died. A hardy part Scotish lass) Your little montages who be the perfect thing to include in the service to show just how dedicated to their flock they were. Just a thought. Love to all, Cousin Joolz.
Really like the sound of the behind the scenes of sheering.
You do what's best for you Cammie.
Don't lose any more sleep or family time than you already do. We love to watch whatever you give us.
Thanks for posting and Take care.
Blessings to you and the family 🙏 💜 🕊 ✝️
I do enjoy watching the scenary go by out the truck window as you chat.
Would love to see the behind the scenes banter and inner workings of shearing. Your personality as well as interactions with everyone is very entertaining.
Didn’t love the new camera today 🤷🏼♀️ but found the content interesting, thank you.
You do what is good for you Cammy it’s more important to be healthy both in mind and body than to worry about CZcams. Love all the content you put out no matter what it is love the drone stuff too. Teach one of your wee helpers to do the drone lol.
I had to laugh when you picked up the clippers and turned them on for a second. It looked like you thought YOU were going to be sheared when you ducked away. 😆
What ever makes your life easier is good for me.
What you call noise is music to my ears. Lambs bleating is better for my mental health than any international news. I love hearing the technical information because I used to work in biomedical research. I understand everything that you're doing and going through. I can certainly understand why you became a sheep farmer, because working in the city as a cop would make you believe that every person is a dangerous criminal. We're really nice people. You just can't see us.
Here from Tom's video and I am glad to have found this channel. This vlog was very therapeutic for me
Thanks!
You are just too cute! You make me smile! I am enjoying watching your videos.
Here from Tom Scott!
A boy Cammy another good video 👍.
Lot of work involved in getting ewes & lambs properly ready for the season ahead.
Just love your banter on the videos and miss days when you don’t have one. I appreciate though that you have a hectic life. Will be passing your way leaving from Fife to go to the Cairnryan ferry next Friday. Brilliant videos 😁🙋🏻♀️
Would love the behind the scenes, banter vlog during shearing. Great video as always
How AMAZING is Fern doing.................
Thank you for sharing how you take care of your sheep , I am very interested in watching vlogs about sheep they remind of my faith
Found your channel through the collab you did with Tom Scott. This is really informative, educational and wholesome. You've got such a unique channel, keep it up!
Shearing vlogs, having grown up on a sheep farm seeing behind the scene stuff would be great. Farmers are cut from a different cloth and showcasing what smart, hard working ,funny ,sincere and gloriously direct folk who are producing some of the best protein in the world would be fantastic
Good content. Enjoy seeing all that needs to be done and it's not all riding around on the 4 wheeler. Haha. You work hard and so does Lizzy. Love seeing her smile more and having more confidence in front of the camera. Can't wait for Jock to get feet on the ground. Raise up one of the puppies to watch him. 🤣
Thanks for another fun video, I agree, the Canon, although a great camera, isn’t right for your vlogs! I love your idea for shearing season, love seeing where you go and learning about the different sheep and talking to the farmers! Do what is best for you, we need you to last !😁💕🇨🇦
The footage is crisper than your go pro but I dont think its as well suited for your busy farm life! A go pro can take a few knocks but a fancy camera needs some extra care. I'm happy with anything you put out, even if it was filmed on an old nokiaal! Dont feel you need to change for us! Do whats best for you!
I love all aspects of farming I missed seeing your video yesterday
Any kind of video is fine for me, I appreciate all the work involved.
Put out whatever you can, we’re all pretty grateful to be part of Lizzy and your journey 🐑
Your idea for ''chewin the cud'' behind the scenes...sounds fantastic Cammy...I'd love to hear the craic from all around the places you go...aye you've got a really good lass in Lizzy, and ''big''Jock does well tae...give my best to all in the byres and a hug to wee Jock...Hi from Perth💌😁🖖✨
Good to see you again and what a stunning day, sun 🌞 is out
I watch everything you put out Cammy so whatever is easiest for you to keep up with while you're off breaking your back shearing sheep. Don't feel you need to do daily vlogs at any time of the year either. One or two vlogs a week is enough IMO.
Love the idea of behind the scenes and drone footage 👌 incorporated
Yeah mate, the more chat with the farmers about what they are doing, how it’s going and why would be awesome. 🤘
Another great video. The lambs are really doing well 😁👍👍❤️
Cheers to Lizzie.
I am good with whatever content you give us! Your channel is my favourite to watch 😁
Are you and The Hoof GP having a hair duel?? You are both looking very bushy and need to be sheared!! Love your videos. Thanks.
