    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.

    Another great one Cammy! Nice to see Lizzie and big Jock getting in on the shearing. Whoever was doing the camerawork while you were shearing was excellent!

    The plums on those lads. I bet you have to be careful not to step on them. 😆

    Excellent job Lizzy! Keep giving us our Jock fix! You know why we are watching vlogs these days! BTW... my son in law is a farrier. He HIGHLY recommends using an inversion table to help with those sore backs.

    I think Jock is ready to handle some sheep with that grip. 😂❤️

    Oh my, hearing little Jock babble in the background had me cracking up! He definitely wanted to give you his two cents about the sheers.😂

    Loved the music! Cammy, that was a huge ram!!! The border lesters (sp?) make me lol with their rabbit ears. They always look surprised.

    We bought a local (US Made) shears but there is only one company for cutters that last! Our sheep need shearing twice per year to keep them from overheating and the wool was 40cm and it will be again come September! I love to watch our shearer wrestle with our 162k Rams and the 126k ewes. He moans and groans about the weight and at 60 I have to tip in to help get them flipped. Then we still have to crutch them for march lambing! The Leister Longwool lives up to their name! I love to see the shearing videos! Little Jock is going to be strapping shearer for sure! It’s great to see your young family growing! One thing for sure when there are both loving parents in the home and spending the time with the young ones they will be healthy, smart and less likely for troubles in life. You’re off to a great start! Good on you!

    LOVE shearing vlogs! Great commentary while shearing that tup. Can't get enough of wee Jock!

    WOW !!!!!! Those were some huge ram sheep you were handling there. Lizzie is amazing. Big Jock should do modeling on the side. He is one fine specimen of a man. Great video! I look forward to your vlogs. ❤️ from Alabama USA.

    Great video as always Cammy! Glad I'm not the only one that feels like an eighty year old after a winter off from shearing!

    Looks like some giant rabbits at the 2nd location. 😆

    I like your sheep farm. I just started watching and heard about you from watching Sheepishly Me with Sandi Brock. It’s nice to see sheep in their natural habitat too. I enjoy watching how you herd them in with the dogs.

    Well done for the commentary during the shearing of that tup! Jock shows off the biceps well but yours were certainly working just as good Cammy!!💪🏻👍🏻👏🏻! Good on Lizzie for doing some as well👍🏻. Wee Jock certainly loves the camera, becoming quite the professional in front of the lens!!❤ The tally is steadily increasing, have you given any thought of what you would like to achieve this season ?🤔, -- you will need to make sure it's more than Sean's( even if it's just 1 more!!)😂😂

    Cammie, the sheep with the long ears reminded me a bit of rabbits! I still like the texels best because their stocky build reminds me of a tank.

  • @boba9253
    @boba9253 Před 2 lety +17

    Great (for us) to see the shearing season is truly underway! I wasn't sure if you were going into that raceway, or the tup was coming out. 😉😂😂 And it was wonderful that Lizzy was there to pull you guys through. 😊

    I bet the birds love all the bits of wool left on the ground. It must be great nesting material.
