ABOUT ME
I’m 33 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 s a Police Officer 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 1200 breeding ewes.
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!
Since starting The Sheep Game I have met Lizzy and had two incredible boys Jock and Angus. You will see them all on this channel!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.
It appears it is time for Cameron to take better care of himself, he is not getting any younger! Go soak that foot, wrap it up, lie down, take a pain reliever and get some rest!!❤
I agree..
Thanks Colleen... I just need to survive long enough to let the boys take over lol
Remember to I.C.E.: Ice/Ibuprofen, Compression through wrapping, and Elevate!!
@@rinnyrindawgICED ice, compression, elevation, Doctor.
Once the average person leaves there 20's, you discover a shocking reduction in ability to recover from injury. Cammy's facing a tough go in spite of being in amazing shape, because his daily work demands so much activity. In many cases a simple break is easier to recover from than repeated sprains. My heart goes out to you man. I joined the Army Reserves at age 36 and every bump bruise and strain took double the time to recover than just 10 years earlier.
Do take care of yourself! Multiple sprains bring bad things later, so heal properly (I know this from experience, and as a nurse). Get some compression, too. Higher boots will help to support your ankle, so find some, and wear them regularly.
I hope your ankle heals quickly. Ouch!
Thanks Cammy for showing us all the moving parts of your farming and scanning.
Can’t wait to see the new scanning trailer. 👍😊👍
Nice to hear you’re getting a new scanning trailer, you’ve worked many sheep through this one and you’ve earned it. Nice new sheep! Oh Cammy, that ankle! I almost screamed when I saw how bad it was. Hope it heals well for you. Lizzie’s such a sweet lady, she’ll get you back on your feet but you better listen to what she tells you! Lol. Take care and get well. ❤❤
Thanks Sharon!! She looks after me well!
Perhaps once it is doing better with the swelling you should get a brace for it that still allows movement but will prevent you rolling it. They work great.
Cold relief on a bruise is 100% a must, apply as soon as you can for as long as you can (8-12 hours, almost constantly).
I recently bruised my palm pretty seriously, I couldn't write for the first day. I applied cold for as long as I could, for most of the day. The "cold" were aluminium drink cans (with their drinks), they are extremely convenient for small bruises; I had a can of beer with me at work because the closest shop only sold beers from their fridge 😆 I drank it the next week at home, I was on antibiotics, didn't risk drinking. That bruise wasn't as bad as it could be, that hand recovered in just a few days. The elbow though, which was hurt at the same time (I slipped and fell), which felt less damaged, and didn't hurt as much, still hurts after two weeks! Cold compress is a saviour.
On it thanks Catherine! Ice then warm to flush it out... then repeat!
@@TheSheepGame idk about warm, I was just hugging my two cans of beer intermittently (putting the second can on the outer windowsill to cool out), and it helped.
Just take care of yourself. Don't overwork the injury, the better you take care of it, the faster you get back to 100% efficient.
As a sheep farmer, we think it is all fresh air, family and fun. Todays video reminds us that it is also cold and wet and painful too. Least not forget that you get to do it allover again tomorrow. It is a passion that is in you and drives you on. Hope the ankle heals quickly and here's to a good breeding season with the new Rams😊
I absolutely have the biggest sympathy for you, cammy. I did my ankle 8 weeks ago, and it is still swollen. I pain then, and now is literally nothing I have ever felt.
First farmer at the market, i was first to like it! 💗 the Game!
So sorry about your ankle. Lizzie is right - ice that puppy, but the way it looks and hurts, you might want to get it x rayed. Best wishes!
Thanks!! It's getting better every day! Got it well strapped up now!
It's nice to get some quality tupps From a good breeder who'll stand by their stock. Get that ankle strapped Cammy you'll only roll it again.
Lol Um yes Cammy it is time for a new scanning trailer!!! That thing is what nightmares are made of!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 It literally looks like something you would see in a horror movie and the killer is dragging that thing behind his crazy looking run down truck like in Jeeper Creepers! Lol That thing needs to go before you show up to someones house and scare some little kids!! Lol On a side note.. Hope your ankle feels better!! Thanks for sharing hun!! 😊😊
haha that made me laugh!! The horror show will be over soon!
Morning to you Mr Cammy .. another day and another spectacular beautiful sharing great video .. appreciate as always your beautiful sharing documentary updated resume countryside .. Merci beaucoup Monsieur
Thank you kindly
Such a busy day and then re-injuring that ankle - I winced when you were talking and in obvious pain but then to see it so swollen at the end - you have my sympathy, I've been there. I have to be careful with my own ankle all the time now, years later. The body does not forgive these injuries as we age. I have a brace for every joint in my medical stash, a complete bin of different compression bandaging, ice wraps for various body parts, etc. Please make sure to think long term as far as supporting that ankle during every day work once it is healed, it will hopefully help keep another bad twist from happening. Hugs to you and Lizzie, and I hope it heals quickly.
Sheep are a lot of work, they look so easy out there in the field eatting grass lol
Take care and have a good week.
A boy Cammy another good video 👍.
Hope the ankle is better. I know exactly how you feel, I've weak ankles I go over on them quiet often.
Those rams looked solid!!! Delivered to your door as well, can't argue with that. Didn't see the ewes but I'm sure they're fine, you wouldn't have bought them otherwise.
Best of luck with the ankle & the new purchases.
🇳🇿 from New Zealand. A new scanning trailer, great. Nice tails on those rams. Oh shit on the ankle. Poor manny.
Hi to NZ Dee. Big game this weekend!
@@TheSheepGame oh yes indeedy !
What a long day. Please take care of yourself. Thanks for the video.
Feeling tired out after watching your long day, hope the new sheep do well and your ankle improves quickly
Another super video Cammy
Sprained my ankle earlier this year turned out it was fractured 😢get that seen too man. Sending healing vibes.
Those rams look to have real power hope they go lucky for you.
What a day! Thanks for taking us along! It was fun to watch, and I amazed how many tasks you squeezed in. Nasty injury! Best wishes for rapid and thorough healing!
Hope that ankle heals well & quickly. Lizzy takes good care of you & the boys.❤❤❤ Blessings to you all.
Great stuff Cammy, always love the content, new Rams looking well, not so much the ankle, as if Lizzy doesn't have enough to do lol........
Thanks Howard! She's a legend!
Great video Cammy I hope them new rams do well for you and the new ewes too Jesus lad that’s a sore looking ankle 🙈👌
Ankles are hard to ice effectively. Over many years and 6 boys I’ve found a bucket of cold water with ice in it does the best job. First 3 days you get the most benifit. Do 20 mins a time as often as you can. You may need a boot for comfort and physiotherapy to rebuild the ankle after.
Bit of blue spray and stand in the freezing rain, sorted no time at all 😂 loving the more day to day video, must be a pain to do sometimes but always interesting and entertaining to watch, get better soon 👍
Had a severe sprain once and was on crutches for 2 weeks. Also, try wrapping it with an ace bandage for stability. And don't put ice directly on skin, wrap it in a towel then do 20 min on / 20 min off for 1 hr several times a day. Lastly, ibuprofen works best on soft tissue injuries. Get well soon!
Thanks Melissa! I'm on it!
Very good advice.I too have sprained my ankle a few times. It doesn't get easier to heal.
Personally, I’d use aspirin, not as hard on the kidneys and liver.
@@kathybradbury If the problem is an injury, then the Ibuprofen works better because it helps with inflammation. If you are only on Ibuprofen for a few weeks, then it shouldn't be a problem. You can take Aspirin and Tylenol with it for pain.
@@westzed23 a lot of people have a toxic reaction to Tylenol and ibuprofen. I personally have. I’ve also heard that around 100,000 people a year die from the use of Ibuprofen a year in the US. That’s why I caution people on the use of it. For myself, my urinary system shuts down from the use of NSAIDS. Aspirin works pretty well though. Aspirin was disparaged when Tylenol was given the green light for OTC sales.
You are an amazing person, farmer, father, friend and inspiration to many! Now you need to use some of that strength and wisdom to take care of yourself, and allow your body to heal. Your family and a whole lot of people out here love you, and will be supportive of you always! There have been lots of suggestions in the comments of ways to support your ankle and protect it while you work. Please listen to the advice so that you aren't dealing with pain longer than necessary. Awesome new rams, by the way. Good news about the new scanning trailer too!❤❤
A Farmer I some times work for has a Fonterra ram on his farm as well as many other tups to cover his +900 breeding ewes although the Fonterra tup is quite old now. Am from North East Aberdeenshire
I slipped getting off a train and ruptured my ankle lateral ligament. Agony. Surgery to fix and a long recuperation period.
Hopefully your sprain heals completely soon. Take care where you walk...
Oft!! You have me worried now Jimmy!!
@@TheSheepGame if you could weight bear at all after the initial injury it's unlikely that the ligament is completely ruptured (detached from bone) but it could have a tear.
The best option is to have it scanned to get exact detail on what has occurred. Not by you doing the scan !
Otherwise, keep doing the ice and elevation treatment every time you can get a rest. That, plus ibuprofen and paracetamol at max dose will help. Lizzie will give you adequate care...if you behave yourself.

Eons ago, whilst driving around GB, visiting historical farms, I saw a poster showing all the breeds of sheep. Wish I had that now.
Ice is your best friend. I’ve gone through 8 different knee surgeries (both are now titanium, chrome cobalt, and milk jug plastic so they don’t hurt anymore, and I can do things I did 30 years ago pain free). Found that ice was far better for pain relief than any meds. Take time to heal! Also - pay attention to how your foot and ankle fits into your footwear. If you have some oversized Wellies, take them with you in the vehicle when you start the day’s work, because you are likely to need the bigger boot later in the day.
Good morning SHEEP FANS from the USA! Wow that was a long day! Really nice looking sheep.. will look forward to seeing them in the light! Holy ankle batman.. size of a baseball. Perhaps a good soft cast from an ortho? WE NEED YOU CAMMIE! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!! Been strapping it up hard!
My sprained his ankle so many times in 18 mths it wouldn’t heal- sports. They finally put him off ankle completely and in PT and he healed and has done great for over 20 years. Take care of it and let it heal fully so it can take care of you
Great video that shows how long and busy a farming day can be.
Oh that looks like it hurts. Heal quickly Cammy. Tups are looking good.
Take care! Hope you’ll be able to recover soon!
😮 that sprain! I hope it starts healing right away! When I sprained my ankle really badly, I almost blacked out & threw up! That pain is REAL!
Goodness Cammy, wrap your ankle tonight to keep the swelling down! You need to stop messing about lad! What a day!💕🇨🇦
Oh dear Cammy! Speedy healing with that ankle! Lizzie has the right remedy oh and a wee drop of a dram too helps lots😊.❤️🇦🇺🏴
Wise move going down the Quality road,them cheviot ewes you showed on fb looked quality also,well done best of luck with the ankle i feel you're pain as iv done it before take care pal.
Aye, your some kid. Lucky you have nurse Lizzy to look after you.😅
Love these videos Cammi
Cracking video as always
Yowch! I could tell from your face that you were sick with the pain. Rest easy lad! Can't believe you got that trailer moving 😂
You had me at “Girls”…always 🤦♀️😂. Cammy’s famous words…”What could possibly go wrong?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So Cammy how is your ankle? I hope not to bad 🤍🥰
Thanks Tammy. I've had to buy a big pair of boots that I can tie up tight to keep it protected! Can't handle that pain again lol
Them texels look good especially
Number 9
Those are realy nice rams , ps here in the Netherlands we're currently struggling with blue tongue it's a true massacre whit a daily mortality on 554 sheep per day, never seen anything like it.
Those new rams def have attitude…am sure the girls will love them. . Oh that ankle must be making you feel so nauseous…..having done that once, I well remember that pain….and left with a weakness for many years still
A bag of frozen pees works wonders 🍀 Hope you are feeling better soon x
Love watching these videos 😀
Fascinating insights, engagingly delivered (as per usual ;). 👍
Sair yin. Swift recovery. ✌
had two sprained ankles at the same time a few years ago. Get an xray, might be broken or just a chip out of place. Wear an adjustable boot, make sure your boot is big enough. Elevate!
Ouch, Cammy. Sprained ankles are painful. Nice new tups and ewes. What a long day for you.
I treated the exact same ankle sprain in my household this year. I feel your pain.
Good job you have lizzy to look after you ,hope its not too painful tomorrow
Excellent video once again - take care and hope your ankle gets better soon 😔
My Grannies name was Ingram, born on the hill overlooking the bay Gamrie/Gardenstown called Ferry Brae Cottage but it’s long gone.
Oh no, Cammy! You have a baseball on your ankle…🫣😬 I hope it heals soon and well! 🙏🏽 Glad you have a supplier you can trust. Those look like nice rams. Your scanning trailer, though, has seen better days. 😄 Can’t wait to see the new one!
Yikes that's a doozy sprain.😬
Thank goodness for frozen peas.
Also try some Arnica rub to help get that ankle tightened up. It work great. 👍👍
Ouch Cammy that looks painful. They say a sprain is more painful than a break, plenty of pain killers needed…..Looking forward to seeing the new scanning machine, when it arrives. Watch that ankle but I suppose that’s difficult when running a farm, and kids.
At least the scanning trailer's tires weren't flat! That's a nice result for those lambs! Hope it continues. ❤ Lizzy is a star. It's not easy to take care of a stubborn farmer. lol czcams.com/video/Ni0YfrSK570/video.html - The Farmer Pain Scale (hilarious). I hope you feel better soon!
Cami you're earning your farmer's body with those frequent injuries ❤
Can't wait for the boys to take over!
That's a day off Cammy and no real walking on it for a week ..years to come you get arthritis in it like me if you don't take our advise.lizzy strap him to the bed !
Hope that ankle looks better quickly. Ouch!
Great video with so much variety... long long day for you. Hope some ice, elevation and Lizzie's fine care help that ankle.
I hope so too! Thanks
How many ewes are each ram to service?
What is the current count on number of ewes/rams? Do you breed all of them in the same time frame ?
10/23/23
Another great video … you need to get a better torch system
Good job you’ve got Lizzie to look after you…better to put the peas in cloth so you don’t get freeze burn on your skin 😊
I turned my ankle over once descending from the tractor. So I can sympathize with you, Cammie. I wore high leather boots with tape around the outside to keep my ankle stable so I could continue to milk the cows and do the dairy chores, hobbling around the farm. Poor Lizzie will have more to do with you slowed up. 😢
Good. Video Cammie take care of that ankle
I'm a new viewer from America and have to share a joke on myself. Whenever you called a sheep a "hog" I thought you were referring to the Texile sheep because their faces look like pigs to me. 😂😂😂
Make sure you rest that ankle as much as you can so you don’t aggravate it. Rest, ice, comfort bandaging, elevate.
Also, please don’t put ice/frozen veg directly to skin, it can cause frost burns. Wrap it in a towel first
Speedy Recovery Cammie!
You ought to spray paint “Free Sweets Inside” on the side of that scanning trailer to complete the aesthetic. 😂
Ouch! You poor thing, go steady lad. Ankles are a pest to get right once they have had a sprain.
Love you videos
I have a Suffolk ram lamb he is massive
I made a video on him
My smallholder life
Keep the videos going it's a long process but well done!
the better the ram hopefully the better the lamb money well spent
When you showed the ladder hooked on with bungees, then said "what could go wrong" and tge next thing we see is you walking into a building with all white and whatnot...I totally thought you were walking into a hospital emergency room 😂😂😂
Take care Cammy.
Heal well!
hi cammy and lizzie and clan ,lizzie you have 3 babies to look after now..douglas mcrae from australia
Golly Cammie, get yourself healed up and then take a little time getting fit again! Your body has to last a lifetime, and farmers take a lot of abuse. Be well, friend!
Oh Cammy I feel your pain 😢, take care
I thought I just had a bad sprain, but the ligament had torn away from the ankle pulling a piece of bone with it. Prop that baby up.
Good luck with the tick mops. How many times have they been treated to kill the ticks ??
😊
They were dipped shortly before I bought them and have been on low ground since so should be ok.
arnica cream for the sprain. also soak in epsom salt. looks painful, especially if you have 2 small kids and sheep to chase around.
You poor baby. Sprains are nasty. Take care of it. Give it time to heal !
Florida USA
Electrical tape works well to tie layers as is duck tape! Cheaper than bunny straps
What sorta breeding is the frontera tup
What pretty faces they have x
Great video
Will the new rams be terminal sires or do those breeds have maternal attributes? Excited to to see how they look next to your blue Leicester rams.
Oh Boy, sprained ankles, bloody ouch.
ye gods, that trailer looks like a military armored vehicle.
I'm hypermobile and can easy twist an ankle. My cousin was walking behind me once when I thought I had just slightly went over on it but apparently it was so far she took the boak at the thought and didn't know how it didn't burst. I walked it off like nowt happened, although it was an angry beast for a while after it.
haha took the boak is a great expression! Cheers!
Good video
Ya Cammy! I think a set of x-rays may be in order. In the mean time STAY OFF IT. I know, hard to do but in the long run you won't regret it.
Take care of yourself Cammy
Take care of yourself Cammy....you can't do what you have to do if you're hurting.
Huge sheep fan here - how come you differentiate between your and Lizzy's sheep? aren't they all both of yours?
Definitely grass fed rams. Another aspect of force feeding is that the teeth drop out prematurely.
I like the rams
Ya would want to try a Suffolk cross texel on the Cheviot
I hope those tups leave nice lmbs but l think there afew breeds that will fall away .
