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.
You have to spend money to make money and the sheep you bought look like a good investment. You two are awesome, Angus is adorable and tell Jock we missed him today. I hope all this pays off for you. Thanks for including us.
Thanks Nessa very kind!
Well said Nessa. I appreciate being included.
No need to comment, this person said it all. But CONGRATS! Your hard work paying forward.
I have every confidence in both you and Lizzie and your decision making. You have a large community pulling for you.
Thanks Vicki!
I'm guessing the land owner gets more from ESG and carbon credits from leaving the ground bare so losing your tenancy is a big risk in this crazy upside down world where meat is bad and overgrown weedy grassland is good.
Good on you guys for buying the farmers sheep for the new project.
I pray both your family and the selling farming family have a great future.
Feeding good quality and affordable protein to the population of the world is how we get people out of poor health and poverty.
I’m afraid that is a likely reason behind it.
Great looking Cheviot's Lizzy and Cammy, they should do extremely well for you, also paying a few pounds more for the younger one's will pay off in the long run. Nice job by you both, love the sales and the adrenaline of the sheep in the ring .
Thanks Howard! It’s some rush of blood 😅
Oh i know it is, the nervousness and adrenaline while your bidding is something else, the ewes should do well for Lizzy and you and I look forward to seeing how they do.@@TheSheepGame
Love the pop-up explanations! Great idea, Cammy or Lizzy. Your channel just keeps getting better. I hope the farmer can make enough to get a new tenancy. I felt faint when you got to 11,000. But what a great milestone for you both. May God bless you and all the sheep!
Cammy you Don't know how lucky you are to have a woman like Lizzie. She's a smashing girl 👧 xx
I couldn’t have made her better in a lab!! 🙂🥰
Quality ewes plus the quality rams you guys purchased is shaping up to be a monumental shift if the way you guys are playing the sheep game. Fingers crossed a farm comes available and you guys are able to get it at a decent price.
That is so nice to hear that you and Lizzie were able to get the sheep you wanted. You’ve worked really hard for it. Nice video, holy smokes that’s a big auction with a lot of sheep. Angus is so handsome and that beautiful smile is going to have girls and grandma’s falling all over him. Lol. ❤❤
When my family looks at photos of our son Teddy when he was small, nearly every one sports some evidence of a mishap. Head bumps, nose bumps, a scratch from my rose bushes, and all manner of childhood clumsiness. He’s 23 now - and always laughs as his photos sporting lumps and bumps. Part of being an active child!
My kids were the same
Family Shopping Day!Thanks Angus, for taking us along, and most importantly, for having Dad explain the sheep-shopping details to us. Very exciting watching you grow The Sheep Game.
Congrats Lizzy! A nice looking bunch. Hope little Angus is OK with his bump. 🐨👍
I just saw you on our news tonight Cammy!!! You’re a sensation for rescuing the “Loneliest Sheep”! Fiona’s safe and sound. Thanks. Michigan USA loves you!
Happy for you to pass such an important mark, to be able to buy exactly what you where aiming for. I understand the financial stress but root for you and really think you can pull it off! Hurrah for the new ladies and the lonely gent you got a few weeks ago 🎉
I am so glad you're getting that bump looked at. When I was two I fell, or was pushed, and had two black eyes. As an adult I was told it was that early brake that made me ultimately need surgery to take the bone in my nose out. I had no drainage from my left sinus. I had sinus infections one after the other for over a year.
Such a happy strapping little boy! Angus is a doll! The sheep are pretty nice as well.
That farmer's stock is in amazing condition you could see just how well they all looked, definitely a great buy there guys. I was a shepherdess for 30-plus years I do miss my sheep.
Tremendous looking ewes I’m sure they will do extremely well for you and Lizzy you two are really steaming ahead I can see you both with your own farm sooner than later. You both deserve it, here’s to next spring and many beautiful new lambs I can’t wait 😊
Lizzy bought land. I wish I could. Point you in the direction of the correct video it’s sometime late spring, I could be (probably are) wrong but if you listen carefully you’ll hear Cammy say something to her in this video that these are for her block of land. Maybe sitting in the truck? Edit for lousy grammar lol
Camie you and Lizzie are great people i think the sheep are the best ones you have ever bought wish Lizzie would start her a you tube channel we know she's great at sheep hearding i just enjoy watching your videos and Lizzie thanks again 👍🙏🐑
I'm chuffed, Cammy & Lizzie, that you're pleased with your purchases. I feel sorry, though, for the shepherd who lost his tenancy. What will he and his family do?
Congratulations to you both! Beautiful sheep, glad you could buy what you wanted!
Thank you!
Congratulations, beautiful animals.
Thank you very much Lesa! Hope you are well🥰
Congratulations on going after what you and Lizzy want. Big move well done!
There are beautiful sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑❗️Congratulations!
That's some boy, glad to see Angus Brighten up everybody's day. I hope he gets his nose Fixed or at the very least, gives him a bit of character later on in life. hope I can see a video involving some horned Cheviots in the future.
So glad that you’ve young couple is finally made enough. You can buy what you really want. I’m so proud and you and even my kid.
I'm no expert when it comes to sheep Cammy but, they looked really good to my untrained eye. Well done to you and Lizzie, great investment for you both.
For those wondering about the Scots word Blethering, it means talking or having a wee chat (talking a load of rubbish/chewing the fat really😂) We would call a child (or even a happy baby) that won't shut up a Wee Blether.
Congratulations Cammy and Lizzie I’m sure the sheep will do you proud ❤
Great video.. 👌
Best of luck to yourself and Lizzie! Lovely looking sheep..👍
OMG.. OMG..OMG.. have been to many auctions with you but this one gave me goosebumps. Congrats.. to you both...they look amazing!! Better live in the moment on this one and remember every second! Big investment into your future.. ENJOY.. thanks for sharing and taking the time to explain in detail to us non-sheepy folks what was going on! Love from the USA!
Thanks so much!!
Fantastic achievement and what a momentous day, hard earned with solid graft. Delighted for you all and hope they do as well for you as you hope. Some team ❤️
Thanks! Just need a year to pay them back then another year to make a profit 😁🫣
Wonderful watch Cammy and Lizzie….lambics for 2024😊😊😊 can’t wait. My goodness Angus is growing up sooo fast the little darling. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Really lovely looking sheep, congratulations! Money well spent, happy for you guys!
Don't worry Cammy about the money. You bought good good stock. Good luck Lizzie with your sheep. You're a good girl 👧. Xxxx
Nice one mate some big fat sheep.
Cammy Wilson + team. You are absolute HEROs! I hope your channel goes massive. I'll be following. well done lads. amazing stuff.
Congrats you two, they are indeed beautiful sheep, all looked very healthy and alert, they will be a great investment for the Farm!
Thanks!
Congratulations on getting the sheep you both wanted! I look forward to seeing the direction you both take with this lot. Rooting for you.
So exciting that you were able to buy the sheep you wanted.
Have the Sheep Game family become the big show? Wow. I got a little tense when I heard the final tally. whoooo. Excellent looking sheep. A great investment.
Angus is such a happy and handsome boy!
A boy Cammy another good video 👍.
Lizzy & yourself spend a nice few squid but wow look at the beasts coming off the truck at the end. Superb looking ewes, best of luck with them.
Little Angus already looks like a prop, big strong boy 💪
Cammie, you and Lizzie do have 2 beautiful, bonnie boys. I'd be ecstatic if they were mine.
My three boys are 29, 27 & 26yrs old now, and my hubby and I have just become grandparents to a beautiful little granddaughter a week ago. so 1 of each now, we're over the moon ♥️💙🩵🩵
How exciting!! I bet they were a handful! We’d love a wee girl but it seems to be all boys in my family 😅
At times they were hard work having 3 under 3, but they are now men and we are so proud of them all. They really are a credit to us. Although because I was the only daughter with 4 brothers, so it was hard at times. But we are a very close family and always ready to help each other. As long as you teach them respect for others it covers everything, respect their beliefs, respect their friends, respect their property and their boundaries. We are so proud of all they have become 💙💙💙
Good to see you made the press about Fiona! Well done, Cammy!🐑
😅good buying. 140% lambing ya get ya money back. You'll have start shearing flat out Cammy.However sheep prices are poor in Australia 🇦🇺 and wide spread drought. Good luck LIZZY all will be great for you ❤❤
Beautiful sheep! This somehow feels even bigger than buying a new house. All the best to the new flock!
It must be heartbreaking for tenant farmers having the farm taken back when they have built up a fine flock and then having to sell it off.
Why is that even legal?
Nice investment for your family. So proud you were able to increase your flocks. You have come a long way. 😊🇨🇦
Good on you! It takes money to make money and I remember when you could only dream of buying such beauties.
Good grief Cammy your on everything I watch. Just watched your video then you pop up on This Farming Life too and the boys from the Ayrshire farm are wearing your merchandise too. 😳😂
What a beautiful set of Cheviot ladies there! Well chosen and looks nice and sturdy. Good luck with them! Looking forward hearing what the plan is for them, I might have missed it.
We have three different rams for them! I’ll explain more soon 😁
Best of luck with them 👍🏻 Great to be able to get them all from the same place.
That was the best bit! All the same breeding! Hopefully helps produce nice even ewe lambs.
It has taken us 16 years to get uniformity (peas in a pod) in our herd of goats. We truly started from scratch(no AI or flushing just natural breeding) It's like we know the secret recipe now. I am so happy that you and Lizzie see the value in these sheep .You are miles ahead of the game. You are courageous for taking this huge step forward.@@TheSheepGame
Congratulations, they looked very healthy and in good fettle. They should do you well. Hopefully the videos are also doing you well and will ease the pain!
Congratulations on the purchase of such gorgeous sheep. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Good looking mob, congratulations
The sheep are worth it, trust your feelings!
Well Done Cammy and Lizzie! **** Beautiful Sheep*
Well done to you and hoof gp and all the others involved but you two are two peas in pod both of have a big heart well done for saving the sheep
Best of luck with all those sheep you bought. Hope they do really well for you. Love the videos from the sales. Thanks for sharing.
So proud of you two achieving your goals!
Really interesting video Cammy. Great insights as always.
Hi Cammy and Lizzy. I see you have Angus with you today🥰. So many different kinds of sheep.
Would love to see a video on yours and Lizzies business arrangements. Ie what’s lizzies land and sheep what’s yours and what’s shared. How it works between the two of you 😊
Will try cover those things in future videos!
Congratulations, it’s great seeing you both getting ahead and your family growing!! Hard work pays off.
Wishing you and Lizzy the very best of luck with them, they do look the good 👌🍀💯
Your some man cammy. Best of luck with the new sheep. Really enjoying the regular videos.keep thr good work up
Fine looking sheep you two are going to be so busy next spring hope they do well 👍

Cracking sheep mate! You won’t regret spending that bit extra. When it comes to what they produce
Working my way up to lleyns bro 🫣😁
You guys need to do another collab. 🙏
Just watched you on the ITV news clip rescuing Fiona! Top work from you and the good GP 😎thankyou for bringing her back what an amazing feat! Hope to see the video soon if there is one 🐑
Some gorgeous sheep for your gorgeous lady! I do feel bad they costed so much over your budget, but boy are they nice looking! These were really fun to watch come off the trailer- like a sea of sheep bounding out 😊
Angus is adorable and Looks so much like his mum! He's going to be handsome when he grows up!!! :)
At least you know why the sheep were at the sale, and they weren't just someones bottom end sheep, so worth spending money on sheep, you know, will give you good returns for a good while 😊
🐏🐑🐑🐑🐑🐕
I find the (children)farmers to be just adorable!
You guys are awesome....I was quaking in my boots just watching.....xx😮😊
Very exciting!!! Glad you good good ones!
Well done to both of ye
Best of luck with the new flock
Keep increasing, keep pushing, till be worth it
I see you’re wearing your Welsh hoody again! I must get one!!!
Of course ewes aren’t just for one year, they’re an investment for at least 5. I had a ewe that delivered twins every year for 22years! And her ram partner was 27 years old! They were Llanwenogs….
😮 👵👴🐑
Wowzers!
Congrats it's awesome when you get all the sheep you picked a pleasure to go check every day
Brilliant video, theses auction videos are my favourite videos of yours
And not a sore foot in sight! Those are some beautiful ladies :D Good job Camm!
Best of luck with them Cammy + Lizzy! Great to see you investing in stock! Something I hope to do myself soon! 👌🏼
All the best Cammy , Lizzie with your purchases, look like excellent breeding stock 👍👍.
Congratulations! Those are great looking sheep! Your sales videos are a lot of fun. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
This is one step closer to your closed system, so congratulations 🎉🎉
So glad you said something about the babies nose I thought it was broke or something and you didn’t notice it but they I knew you were good parents but you know new parents, so catch everything when you’re busy it gets out of your control
Great purchase ❤
Good luck to the three of you
I’m so glad you get to buy what you want. Nice young couple and you get to pay what you need. You guys worked hard to get it but I got an ideal. I bought about 20 years ago and they were called mu and that’s the ear and the inside you know right over the ear and they dried them and my dogs loved him. I bought everything they had that I couldn’t find it no more and the horns on those sheep and their hooves them sell for big money for dogs to chew on big money I buy yellow herbs from the pig pig seers lambs are the same thing, but they call a muffs. Good idea check that out you gotta sell something for the dogs. It would be megs dog stuff.
Amazing amazing. You have a good eye for a good quality sheep. As the saying goes. Strike while the iron is hot. Well done
Easy to get caught up in the moment BUT, you have to spend $to get the best and what you want. It will work out, I am confident!!
Congratulations they are great sheep 🌟
Best of luck to ye with the new purchases. They look like good stock. Can't wait for the lambing. Interesting to see lots been divided in the ring. Great way of doing it.
Cheers shane!
Congratulations!❤
They look awesome to me! A great investment for Lizzie❤
Really uniform sheep - good return with your new rams
Absolute cracking looking sheep will do you and Lizzie a good turn hopefully pal
Thanks for being so honest with the numbers! I hope they make you back many times what you paid for them. They're bonny sheep for sure.
Thanks Alex!
Looking very nice!
All the best cammy and liz. Big investment but some lovely sheep. Can't wait to see the lamb's on the ground
They are gorgeous and condition too. Well done guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
