- This was never meant to become such a big deal. We just went to get Fiona out of there and into her new home but the world seemed to fall in love with the story.

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.
… that was DEFINITELY a weekend I wasn’t expecting!
….. not one we’ll forget in a hurry either!
You all done an amazing job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 not all superheroes wear capes!!! 🏴❤🏴❤
Just like Jesus, leave the 99 behind to go after the 1❤
You made US news. I saw an article yesterday. Great rescue!
Wow 😱 now you can see exactly why everyone else steered clear and said that mission was way too dangerous 😱Absolutely amazing rescue! Well done to you all for an outstanding effort and massive achievement ,mission accomplished.You all deserve a bravery award 🏆
No more lonely nights or days for Fiona 🙌 Extremely proud of you all and on behalf of Fiona and every animal lover THANKYOU ! 🥰💞
Well, you made that look easy, boys! Well done 👏🏼 bit of rope, a large bag, and an atv job done home for dinner! Congratulations
Respect 🙏🏼 🩶
I wish Fiona lived closer!!! She would fit right in with my ladies!!!🥰🐑 well done everyone!!!
Another “Golden Girl!”
Interestingly Sandi I had the same thought and seeing your comment right after I posted one felt cool for Fionas great future to come!
Omg, she would be awesome with your ladies
I see a gofundme in fionnas future
@@danamcgrew8288 I want to see her there tooooooo!!! :)
The fact that humans feel such compassion and love for others that they risk hide and hair to rescue a creature just because, well… they feel empathy for the poor thing…. Gives me hope. Thanks y’all for helping show that there’s some goodness in the world
Oh, there is. We would have devoured ourselves long ago if there weren't. It just isn't usually newsworthy, like this was.
All that evil stuff that fills the news? Remember that it made the news precisely because it was unusual, not normal.
You said it all right, these young men give HOPE. Thank you I sure can use some of that.
So great these men are wonderful examples of the heart and soul that is the farming community +worlds most famous hoof trimmer 😊❤
Humansncreated these sheep though. It is our fault that their hair doesn't shed naturally. Wild sheep lose their hairnevery spring. Humans domesticated sheep and bred them to be like this. It is our fault.
@@mygirldarby Its not their fault Fiona got stuck. These men showed bravery and determination getting her off that beach.
the relief i felt when she got to the top 😭😭 we love u fiona 🐑
I wish you really were CZcams because I'd give you a piece of my mind. 😂
Ikr.
Also. Please implement my ideas for shorts. Make it so that left hand can be chosen for scrolling and liking shorts and a feature to hide text overlay on shorts
@@princenameless Good ideas. And enable working links again, at least for the owner of the channel.
@@princenameless don't watch videos you cannot rewind. Time is precious.
Hey @youtube! Stop Giving Creators limited monetisation on videos for words like "drug"
Loved seeing this incredible, selfless, rescue of Fiona. Loved that she seemed to grab a “snack” on the way up the cliff for goodness sake a girl’s gotta eat!
I saw that! 😂
She’s so clever, I think she was anticipating not being able to eat for a while and thought she had better be prepared 😂🥰
It made me laugh!
That was honestly just TOO adorable. Smart girl.
I thought that too
As if she was grabbing and chewing grass through her little nose hole 😂😂😂
You folks are so wonderful for taking this on, thank you for saving her!❤❤
That amused me too!
Well, yes. Because sheep. 😆
@@kirkmt😂 me too!
Watching her just keep taking munches on the grass made me smile. What was she thinking...'Well finally an interesting day not the same old boring day in and out" perhaps?
On the other hand what an intense thriller her rescue was. You all were/are incredible. All involved. Strong men and such big hearts to attempt this. My arm hairs stood up several many times watching.
What a wonderful feeling to save a creature. Something to many people would not. Hugs and love to all involved. Dana
Fiona is a sport! Not surprised to see Graham involved in this. He has such a tender spot for animals. Bless you all for being such good stewards?
This could easily be a Scottish Highlands tourism promo its so well shot and edited, congrats lads.
I just watched it. OMG you guys were all amazing. The rescue, the terrain, Fiona a bit skittish at first all made this video a must watch with much appreciation to all who was involved in the filming and rescue with Fiona. She was Britain's loneliest sheep. This will be the world best watched video by far. Lonely no more just lots of love. 💞
Would love to see when she rejoins the other sheep.
What a team effort 🎉🎉🎉
I can’t believe your handling that rope with no gloves! Such stunning views! Great video!
Sheep like to live in a flock. I'm amazed she coped without pals. So happy everyone is safe and loved seeing her trimmed up later. Cannot imagine carrying all that wool around. You are all heroes!
Who knows, maybe she wanted to be left alone there. I mean it does look very nice there and she seems to get enough food so yeah.
before she was free now she is in a cage :(
@@i.n.o.k. I was wondering about that myself. Plenty of food, obviously, and (apparently) no predators around.
@@i.n.o.k.She got popped in a cage to move and treat her! She is not going to LIVE in a cage! Sheep are very social and need other creatures around for good mental health. They are bred to have wool that keeps on growing. She HAS to be sheared or it will kill her.
Here's the thing, that wool will actually kill her if she'd been left there. She's isn't a breed that will naturally drop wool, as seen she has almost three years of build up. It's like with the domestic silk moth, humans have been messing with it so long that it can't be wild anymore.
Fiona just munching on grass through the nose hole made for a little levity in a very intense video!!! Well done everyone, this was truly beautiful to witness.
"Idiots" with heart, soul, and strength. Thank you for assisting another farmer and Fiona. Farmers help each other in times of need. We ALL can learn from that generosity.
You guys really do epitomise the word HEROES!! Thank you so much for putting your own lives at risk to save the life of such a beautiful animal. Fiona is now in the most amazing home she could ever wish for, treated like a Princess, and will never want for anything ever again.
I was thinking heroes as well💜
FIONA IS A RECORD HOLDER!! Hey Cami. I am one of Sandi's sheeple. I told her of this. I just looked it up and now Fiona is the new record holder for the heaviest fleece!! She suppassed Australia's Chris the sheep, at 41K! Hopefully the people that keeps (maybe Ginnesss) track notice
There's steep and there's STEEP, and that was most definitely the latter. What an amazing rescue, all you lads were outstanding, especially Mountain Goat Ali who when going back up to bring down a 2nd rope made it look like a Sunday Stroll. I want to say a massive Thank You to all that rescued Fiona, not only did you give up your free time but you also put you lives on the line. Cammy I hope your Mother has forgiven you lol
We’ll done boys, on behalf of real animal lovers everywhere. I salute you!!! 🙏🏻
That was quite the Herculean task! Thank you so much everyone for going through all of that for this girl!
You guy's are awesome God Bless you all 🙏🏻❤️ Thank you for saving her 👏🏻👏🏻
Fiona looked so happy and healthy on the news after rescue and shear.
I read about her in the newspaper a few weeks ago and was so glad to see you all rescued her when no one else would!
I just loved the way she nabbed that bit of grass as it slid past her nose and started eating it, she was so calm, she would not of done that if she had been terrified that’s for sure. She knew she was getting rescued, or she would have put up a bigger fight, she just laid there chilling out while the young man held her, it’s like she knew it was time to end her isolation for good.
How interesting this is going to be. I’m very excited to see this. Yes, Cammy, you do have a lot to live for - a lovely family.❤️ Fiona is good sized but I’m thinking that she needs a haircut badly and will be quite a bit thinner after a trim. What a wonderful thing you guys did saving Fiona . ❣️❣️ A marvelous feat you all performed. Congratulations for saving that darling sheep.❤️🥰👍
Cant wait. Im in Virginia and hadn't heard about Fiona until you mentioned her. I went back and watched some of the news clips and ive been waiting on this video since. Huge thank you to you, hoofGP, and the rest of the team that saved this poor girl from a life of loneliness and solitude.
Wonderful! So glad all is well and you had the Scotland RSPCA on board too for good measure. A part of sheep farming we don't often see.
No RSPCA in Scotland, it's the "Scottish SPCA", different organisation.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Well done! That was such a wonderfully kind thing to do! Thank you!!
She’s a lucky girl to run across you guys! What a daring rescue and you made it look easy. Thanks for loving these animals so much. To say you’re not coming back without her… that’s dedication. Well done everyone. 👏👏👏
Insane rescue, so glad everyone involved got the missions done without injury to themselves or Fiona!
Epic rescue. Steven Spielberg couldn’t capture this hair raising Fiona journey better than you. God bless you and fellow rescuers. Last shot of Fiona in slow mo with fleece ah flying ..priceless
CoCo I agree! That filming was the best any of those guys have ever done! I might have missed it in the intro, but did they use a designated film and edit guy? Those shots were epic, the editing was award winning (clever fun inserts), music drama building-- yet subtle, and this video should get some big recognition!! What an amazing team of collaboration each deserving an award!! Not even a sprained ankle!
That was some rescue mission for Fiona, fair dues to you all for coming up with a plan for getting her up. It was very dangerous but you were all heroes and brave Scottish men. Hope Fiona now gets to live in the lap of luxury with other sheep pals and I'm sure she'll be spinning 'yarns' about her time down the cliff!!!!
You guys are heroes! Thank you for saving Fiona and putting life and limb on the line. Well done!!!
I'm glad to see you helped Fiona! I saw she was shorn, imagine that relief!
Also, that first shot of the cliff face next to the ocean looks incredible! 😍
Wow - just seeing her move once you got her into the shed/barn. She's so much fitter than I expected and in such good shape. Good work, guys! The whole team worked really well together to rescue Fiona! Great teamwork!
What a chilled lady, nomming on a wee bit of grass as she passes by in her stretcher. Love it!
Wow. I had tears in my Eyes....This Poor sheep. :( Thank you for helping her. Two Years is a long Time..
You all ROCK!!!! Thank you for caring enough to get out there and do something for this beautiful creature. 😊💜
Graham is a wild man! You all are amazing! So is Fiona
Oh absolutely wow, wow, wow. Well done to everyone ❤❤❤
This is an amazing rescue with cinematic videography! Thank you to all who made this happen!❤️
The story is absolutely amazing, Fiona is adorable -- and as a South African, I must add that I could listen to a Scottish accent for years 😂 And that she nibbled grass along the way was too cute. Great work guys!
OK, was I the only one with tears in my eyes when she reached the top? Well done, men! I've been waiting for this video ever since I heard of the rescue here in Virginia. Amazing work!
You were all amazing and thoroughly deserve a Pride of Britain award because it was no mean feat and you succeeded in the rescue of Fiona 🐑❤🎉 #Heroes
Spectacular save!
Wise move waiting to scare the life out of your mother Cammy!
Just a marvelous life . Thanks for taken us along.
Got directed here from Greame's YT channel. Awesome work by a dedicated team to save Fiona. Save the shearing and that was a massive fleece and she's a sturdy girl.
Great to be involved! Well done to Als on the editing and thanks to my brother Graeme @thehoofgp for the invite.
Legend James!! Bet u didn’t expect it to go like this when Graeme phoned u!! 🤣
@TheSheepGame The reaction has been nuts. Restores your faith in humanity.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING RESCUE!!! Thank you for sharing her story and your experience with us!!!
Wow....this was an amazing rescue! I had to chuckle because she was eating grass while on the way up thru the hole her nose was poked thru to help her breathe. You guys were amazing! Prince Shrek and his henchmen to the rescue! Thanks for rescuing the lonely Fiona! ❤❤❤
Yes the good shepherd left behind the 99 to search and rescue 1..and you had 4 great men alongside you ..well done ..farmers and agricultural contractors the real heros of our world ..well done..and what a sheep she is a pure tank
All I can think of is "The Gods Must Be Crazy" at the end where he throws the Coke bottle out. It looked just like this.
Cammie, I can't believe you are doing this with your fear of heights. You're some boy!
Can't wait. I've been following since the beginning as I'm a Dalscone Farm supporter from San Francisco, California. She's doing so well in her new home thanks to you guys. ❤️🐑❤️👨🌾❤️
Bravo to all! Thank you all for what you did for this innocent creature...a job well done! You all have earned your wings on this one!
So happy she was rescued. ❤❤❤
From a fellow rescuer, I must say you guys did and amazing job. I have done alot of rescues over the years but not one like that. You guys are awesome. I followed both you and the hoof GP well before I knew you guys were friends. So it's awesome to see yall working together ❤️
Hats off to each and every one of you involved in Fiona's rescue. Lonely no more, living her best life 👏👏👏💜
That was intense! It really took a small army to rescue Fiona. You guys did a great job.
Thank you for actually going and saving her, I can't imagine how lonely she must have been.
Testament to the courage, care, and consideration of all involved: glad that you all came home safe and in one piece, and with Fiona whilst perhaps a bit stressed from a change of environment, still in fine condition and health. Thanks for looking out for all creatures great and small 💕 Well done Cammy, Graeme, Aly, and others. A toast to you tonight!
Proud of you all. Saving the beautiful sheep. She is so sweet. Can’t wait to see how Fiona does.💕👍🙏🇺🇸🐑🐑
I did not know Graeme was such a hero !!!! Well Done Gentlemen.
Thank you for rescuing this poor baby, I have so much admiration for you all, you are brilliant ❤️
You all are AWESOME!!! I too rescued a sheep. She was left abandoned in the Mojave Desert. She, Snow White, is a wonderful new member of the family.😊
A prime example of health and safety NOT getting the job done. Sometimes it takes common sense and no big companies (with insurance) involved. Well done to all involved, you are all amazing x x
I applaud your concern for Fiona and your selfless desire to rescue her. I am concerned for you gents. You're not using a safety line. I hope you stay safe as you perform this heroic effort.
Absolutely incredible! You guys were all amazing. Cammy, I am so proud of you for conquering your fear of heights to save this precious sheep. God was with all of you. Thank you! ❤
I had no idea you and Graeme did this, I've been following the story but not see the photos.
You guys are amazing.
Wow! I knew it was a steep cliff but that was an incredible rescue. You guys are brave and selfless! Thank God no one was injured and Fiona is safe and living at the wonderful Dalscone Farm. Bless Fiona, surviving alone for so long! 👏🏼❤️🐑🙏🏼
Thank you so much for what you did! You are all truly wonderful people! Restoring faith in humanity :)
Wow! That has to be the most EPIC video you've ever done! Saw the teaser on the Hoof GP and couldn't wait to see the full rescue on your channel. Great job guys!
Wow! I can’t believe what you all did, that absolutely amazing and insane. So happy the rescue went smoothly (at least you made it look that way) and you are safe. Fiona couldn’t have gone to a better home to live out the remainder of her days! Bless you all. ❤
Looking forward to seeing Cammy and team rescue Fiona who is now in Dalscone farm in Dumfries in Galloway Scotland 😀👏👏
Love the “Idiots Assemble.” 😂Jokes aside, you all are terrific for rescuing this sheep.
I'm watching from the US and it brought tears to my eyes to see that beautiful girl rescued. Bravo guys.
Hold you both in such high respect for what you do but now you you just went higher. Ty for posting this today. My birthday is tomorrow and it's going to be tough. First one without my Scottish Dad. You are all amazing Scottish men! ❤❤❤You made the news here on Canada too! So proud! Glad my namesake is safe!
Happy birthday, Fiona OG. May you have blessed thoughts of birthdays spent with your da (amid the tears).
I'm just amazed at this rescue... so so proud of every one of you for saving Fiona!! 🏴❤️🏴❤️🐑❤️🏴❤️🏴
Yeah don't let the ne'r do wells, put down what an amazing achievement this was, they couldn't have done it. Only you guys.
That was a GREAT save!! Wow!!
But really, the sheep couldn't have chosen a more beautiful place to be trapped!!
Gorgeous views!!
As a Mother I am so proud of you guys for rescuing Feona. ❤
Amazing rescue, boys!!!!!! Hats off to you all! And thank you, Cammy, for narrating. I love hearing Graeme's accent, but I think yours is my new obsession!😂😂😂😂
Totally awesome!!! Thank you for sharing this once in a lifetime experience with us. Looking forward to seeing Fiona after her spa day! Congrats to the whole team.
14:49 😆Bless her precious heart!! Girls grabbing a snack on the way up, it's a testament to how comfortable she is with y'all and how READY she is to get off that beach!! huzzah to all y'all!!🐑
A BIG OLE SHOUT OUT TO CAMMY, GRAHAM AND THE OTHERS FOR SAVING FIONA!!!!
Omg my heart was in my mouth watching that and cheered when she got to the top even tho I’ve been a subscriber with Dalscone for about 18 months and been watching her - yous guys were so amazing (idiots) and took your own life in your hands but great job well done!! Fiona wouldn’t have been safe another winter down there, she is so happy and safe due to you guys and if she could talk I’m sure she would say biggest thank you
Well done guys a massive thankyou to you all so brave 👏 that was an amazing rescue fiona is now in her forever loving home thanks to you guys ❤
I am awed to see you guys at work. I know how frightened you are of heights Cammy. To make this kind of endeavor to save a wayward sheep shows what a great group of folks you are! 🎉
Just incredible. Those cliffs are so dangerous but you see the girl was smart.
Fresh water stream, plenty of grass and sturdy windbreaker shelter.
Thank you gentlemen for your efforts and risking your own safety to provide some closure.
I hope she has a few more good years in her.
The shearing video was amazing and do trim with hand shears was an artform and likely exhausting.
Good on you ❤
An absolutely amazing rescue. 👌 Thanks to ALL of you for making this happen. Fiona now has a fantastic & well deserved forever home. The World's Loneliest Sheep is No More. ❤👏🐑
Can't wait to see the next video. All you lads did an amazing job bringing her up that cliff. Fiona was fine and all the lads too. Thank you for rescuing her. With all that wool it wouldn't take much to fall on her back. It would be difficult for her to last another winter. Great job all around. Thank you.
How remarkable, the length that you all went to, rescuing Fiona. God bless you all.
Amazing, stunning video guys. It truly shows just some of the hard work that it took to rescue her .... Now we need the film version !!!!
What a bunch of legends you all are!!Just heroic in my eyes. I bet that is a weekend that will never be forgotten. Amazing amazing job. Thank you for your help. ❤❤❤
What a rescue! And the camerawork/drone shots were fabulous - really showed off how beautiful the area is. Thank you for your hard work, I'm glad it hasn't gone unnoticed for you
Congratulations to everyone involved in this rescue that no one thought it should be done, amazing job and from an animal lover god bless you all!
EPIC!!!! I loved this video. Congrats on getting her up the "hill". Great seeing everyone come together for this mission. Very funny that she grabbed a snack while being hoisted up! 🥰
Wow, what a rescue 🤯 what a location! You guys really are insane, but thank you. As for Fiona, what a trooper, what a girl she is! I'm loving watching her at her new home. A proud Dalsconie here ❤
Thank you so much for rescuing Fiona! Wonderful job.💖
That was amazing. What an astonishing rescue, fantastic footage. Proud of all who took part ⭐️
Wow, wow, wow! Thank you for rescuing sweet Fiona!! You all are rockstars! ❤❤❤
Amazing guys, so heart warming watching you all rescue Fiona I love watching her journey at Dalscone FARM lol xx 🐑 💖
This got me so emotional... First to see all of you teaming up! How was I not surprised that you all would take on this task no one wanted to take? How am I not surprised you guys succeeded? Pure joy!!! And you allow us to witness it. Your hearts are Pure Gold!!! Bravo👏from Montreal🇨🇦
Thank you guy’s for helping Fiona & taking her some where safe to her forever home ❤❤❤
What a wonderful rescue!!! Shout out to James and Graeme and YOU, Cammy! When I saw this on the news, I was like...I know those guys!!!!! Just a wonderful thing the team did. I don't know the other guys but a real great job to you all!!!!
Wow, you guys are amazing. Thank you for the risk you all took in rescuing Fiona, and putting her to the best home ever. Have loved following her journey, and even happier being able to see her every day at Dalscone Farm, the best place in the world for her.
