ABOUT ME
I’m 31 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 600 breeding ewes.
I shore over 15,000 sheep this season in UK and I also travel to Norway for shearing in March and September. (Covid messed it up this year)
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.
I am recently disabled and while away my hours watching Farming videos on CZcams...I watch them more than I do the normal TV.
I have ended up creating my own list of Young Farming Legends and thought I would recommend the following channels that always carry interesting and engaging content. I am posting this comment on all the Legends Channels in order that fellow viewers can take a look and see if they enjoy them as much as I do. So here is my list:
My Farming Legends:
The Sheep Game
JM Farming
Tom Pemberton Farm Life
Olly's Farm
Farming at La Forge
This Farming Life (Series2)
Once a Day Farmer
I farm We Farm
A big thank you to all of the above CZcamsrs and please keep up the good work
Thanks Keith.
Have a look at ‘Cowley Hill farm with Will’ and ‘Farm Vet films’. A couple of rising stars. 😁
@@TheSheepGame will do 👍 are you doing any more market vlogs this year?
I love the Hoof GP. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵.😷
Try adding "sheepishly me". That's Sandi Brock in Ontario Canada.
CowfarmerDan is another one well worth watching.
I have loved watching you and your mates shearing. I appreciate your “posh”’ Scottish accent so we can understand, but is fun to hear you speaking in your usual Ayrshire dialect with your friends.
❤️
Cammy, it’s been eye opening, educational, and nothing short of brilliant content throughout.
I’m hooked, thankyou 👍
It has been wonderful to watch you shearing this summer and seen your ex citizens at becoming a father and how much you love Lizzie. Take good care of her heart. She is quite special!
I appreciate your effort to be understood and still give a taste of your normal scottish communucation. Thanks from Bonnie Iowa USA.
I am in the NW of the US and live in town. I don't expect to ever have sheep but I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel and learning.
Could make a good living shearing out there! I'm thinking about it myself if I can find a shearing school
@@willieclark2256 If nursing school falls through Ill have to look in to it!
Well thanks for speaking "posh" for us, I do appreciate it, from Australia.
Rab Graham here from Ballymena in the Province of Ulster. We understand the brog ok. Its just like our normal language. And you know WHY 😉. The videos are a treasure. Thanks for the time making them.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful day with us 😍😍😍😍
Hey Cammy, another great video. It looks like you're sporting a bit of Sandi Brock with your head band😉 She will be impressed!! Looking forward to your next installment
Sandy would be so honored!
A bit posh. 😆 Cammy youre adorable. Speak however you like. Its fun watching, and listening! Good luck with your lil Jock. 💖
Congratulations on finishing the season. I bet its good to be done & moving on with other jobs with the sheep. I always enjoy your videos. It's doesn't matter what the subject is that video its always interesting & fun to watch. Take care Hello to Lizzy & little Jock.
Why did I find it funny when they said 90% wouldn't understand you haha my mother in law was Scottish and boy when that woman started to talk a few times i nodded in the wrong place and she'd laugh and ask me if she was going too fast haha 😄. She married a English man and moved to the South and never lost her accent xx
I’ve found that listening to enough of the actual accent my brain figures out the breaks between words and I can understand most of it, which is a fun game for me, but I also see why that might be less relaxing for other folks!
What ever way you speak is fine with me. But I appreciate you speaking so Canadians can understand. You’re such a sweetie 😍
🦌💌🙏🐑
We appreciate you Cammy, and your "posh speek"! You are right we would not understand you. Keep on we enjoy your vlogs!
I'm from the states. A Michigan boy. I ran a beef cattle herd for 10 years but don't know much about sheep. I enjoy watching shearing. As I progressed through your videos, I could see the skill progress with the season. Like you were gettin back in the groove. Thank for providing these shows. In my grade school years I had a Scotish nun as a teacher. First couple years were a learning experience. With her Scotish and the other sisters, Italian, our pheonetics were all screwed up. But has made it easier for me to understand you when you get to talking fast.
The last of shearing this summer, your back must thank you!
I'd love to hear you speaking normal for part of a video.
Yes, this job would suck hung over, but like I say, you did it to yourself! I hope you had a great night before at least.
Thanks for another great video 💗💗💗
Well done, oodles of shearing and becoming a dad, good season Cammy.
Goodness me, I have only just come across this Vlog, and already loving it. Cammie, you are real cute in that bow.
Thank you Cammie for teaching us all a thing or 3 about the sheep. I doubt I'll ever have any but it's been fun watching you and all your adventures about. You really seem to have come up as the year went on and gotten better and better. Hope the young one is doing good and the Mom too. Take Care young man and will see you at the next video. 👍👍👍👍👍
I look so forward to your videos. You are right about the accent, this Texas gal can never understand a word that James says. Thanks for taking us along with you and showing us something we would never see in our whole lives. It has been a great learning experience. Do your sheep lamb twice a year like Sandi Brock does or do you just let them do it naturally only? I know you are pressed for time now but please don’t stop the vlog. We would all miss you too much. Blessing to you and your family.
Thanks so much Teresa. I just lamb once a year! In April =D
now more vlogs of your little man and Lizzy i hope hugssss
Thank you from Texas for the great effort to speak so I can understand you ! You would probably laugh listening to me speak Texan.
It takes a real man to wear a pink headband, as proven by the work you do. 😜
Great job ALL season with videos showing work, scenery and the people you work with.
I have a big white standard poodle I groom, so I find the shearing process very satisfying.
Don’t have sheep, but I am hooked on yours and Sandi’s sheep. You should really appreciate your wife. Not many women left in the world like her. Thank you for showing us a small part of your world. I love it. Keep it up. As far as you speaking, I sometimes have to go to closed captions and it doesn’t know all the time. But I am learning. I’m sure if you heard my southern drawl, you would probably go to closed captions also. Lol That’s what makes this so fun. Learning new things, enjoying watching new things. Keep it up. Prayers Love and Peace
Brilliant summer with your videos Cammy. Well done and thank you for all your extra work producing the films. Regards to Lizzie and hugs for Jock xx
Thanks Jill
Well done Cammie! Brilliant.
I love watching your videos I love sheep too From Oregon USA
Great video Cammy as always here's to next year we will do it all over again !!👍👌😁
I work on a dairy farm, just brought the maize silage in which means we are quiet till first cut next spring 👌
Another great video, keep 'em coming Cammy! 😍
Us wool guys are freaking out at that wool ending up on the ground....that's the profit margin....lol....😂
In all honesty that is absolutely not the case either now or over the last few years as the value of the wool is so low. Cammy has said in earlier videos the sale value cannot cover the cost of the shearer or their crew! For breeds that have a low value fleece it is either dumped or burnt (and it does not burn well either) to get rid of it
@@w056007568 Bahaha. Thanks Dan! I know that - the comment was just my lame attempt at shearing banter/humour.
I am so impressed by the fact that all the sheep I watched you shear, I didn't see any nicks. They reason I do my own is because the last two shearers nicked my ewes so badly, they looked spotted from all the Blue Coat (Gensin Violet)
Thanks Tam, I have the odd nicks as can anyone. Impossible to shear that many sheep and not get the occasional one.
I’ve been looking up the Scottish language to try and understand. I have laughed at the thought of me (native Texan ) trying to speak the Scottish language. With the Texas slang and the slow drawl to my words I feel it would be very funny. But it’s nice to learn and understand. Love the videos.
Well thank you for another great season but PLEASE throw some Ayrshire Scot in there from time to time. We do enjoy it even if we can't always understand what you're saying. It's like when someone speaks French, can't understand what they said but there is a beauty to it!! Cheers 😊
Cammie it’s has been a great summer and your videos have been amazing and we got to see your beautiful country.
Now it’s time for you to enjoy Lizzie and baby Jock at least until the lambing starts. 🐑🐑🥰👍👍
Great season cammie well done on getting so many videos up loved them great to come back after a day shearing and watch more its a weird satisfaction your get after such a hard days work 👍👍👍👍
😂i’m the same mate. Shear all day then watch shearing videos 😂. Cheers!
Thanks for posting Cammy, been interesting, entertaining viewing.
🇨🇦 Really enjoy your videos. A good mixture of educational info with a side of lighthearted humour. Hope all is well with your little one.
Good to see you Cammy. How are baby and momma? Soon we will be watching you help the momma’s during birthing. We all love you.
Ok I’m writing while you are sheering. So why didn’t the boy get sheered? You take care of you, take a break with your lovely family. ♥️♥️♥️
Karen
Love the shearing videos, very skillful and artistic. Cheers.
As an American with no ear for accents, even your posh accent was difficult for me at first, but I’m learning! Thank you SO MUCH for making your channel and your profession understandable and accessible to folks around the world!
Nice wan cammy you look a happy man to be finished great going the last few months of shearing 👌
Good stuff! Shearing hungover from time to time can definitely help your shearing skills in a round about way.
I had missed commenting on the video where you showed us your footwear when you shear. That was interesting to learn since I never thought about the type of shoes worn. I know you're happy that your season has come to an end -- see you next shearing season!!
I’ve had so much fun watching and learning from you! Can’t wait for next Spring🤗
Was so enjoyed. Thank you again for sharing shearing season and soon enough will start all over again! :)
Curious to see how the winter goes with your sheep. Thank you for the videos. 💙
🎉
! well done - enjoyed watching from Minnesota USA
Sheep shearers have the most beautiful arms!🦌💌❤️🐑
loved the shearing vids. looking forward to next year.
The headband is so rad! What a modern man you are!🦌🙏❤️🐑
Cheers mate! Main reason for me to watch your videos is for the shearing content you create and it's just getting better every time!
Since I started watching you last year I've quit my previous job and are now shearing full time in the south of Sweden.
Keep it up Cammy, looking forward to more shearing videos next summer!
Yes, dont change anything, we love you, thé way you are.
Well done 👏
Recently your channel came across my radar.really enjoy the shearing .watching from New Zealand.🇳🇿👍❤️🐏
I love your laugh Cammy….can’t help but laugh with you! How’s the wee one and Lizzy doing?
Congratulations on a season well done. It has been interesting and entertaining. Now back to home and the wee little one. Enjoy!
Thanks Donna! Looking forward to the next challenge
Always a big relief to finish a season with almost anything... Good year and we really enjoyed you bringing it to us. Cheers
I have found your channel very interesting, to see what goes into taking care of sheep.🇨🇦
Really enjoyed the shearing videos, lambing next eh 😎 my sheep game hat arrived today absolutely loving it really warm for the western isles weather.
Thanks Ciaran! Yeah wont be long lol
Thanks for all the videos I always watching your videos waiting for the next one good job
Watching from Manitoba Canada , ! Keep up the good work !
Thanks Cammy...really enjoyed the shearing, you all made hard work look fun...love to Lizzy and Jock, from Perthshire🎇😁💞🎇
I have loved your shearing videos this summer. Now we need some baby updates😊
I’ve enjoyed the sheep shearing videos, but you’ve never made a video that I didn’t love. I’m looking forward to the next.
Have loved ur shearing vids the year cammy can’t wait until next year for some more
Always look forward to your video’s Cammie ! 👏🏼👏🏼
Nice job guys keep it up. Hopefully see you again👍😘
So sympathische Menschen!
You boys are some craic over here in NI we can understand you no problem it must be the Ulster Scots in us👍
I love watching you shear, also love all the different locations you cart us along to. Always something new.
Wow, Cammy, y'all are really working to get through all those sheepies so quickly!
Are you and Sandi Brock going to start a line of stylish bandana headbands together? Lol, I'm teasing. I love watching Sandi's channel too. It's fun and really interesting to see the similarities, and differences, in how y'all care for your sheep. Especially at lambing!
From the outside perspective that really did fly by this year! I've still got The Young and the Restless stuck in my head from last year!! Nicely done video with a good choice of music.
I think you should demonstrate the voice by doing the exact same scene starting with your natural voice then showing it again so folk can understand. Having worked all over Scotland 20 years ago I know full well that after a few drinks it's near impossible to converse 🤣
Having spent a decade with an Irish family, my ear is tuned to Celtic tongues better than most Americans, but your brogues are so thick that it is I struggle to understand your banter, but I get a lot of it.
This was so much fun to watch and learn from you. No trips to New Zealand for the winter? Or are you set to just be a papa for the season? Give Lizzy our love and we look forward to seeing your youngling next spring!
Keep us appraised of the news!
Another season in the bag! Will you be able to give us a count of how many you sheered compared to previous years? Thanks for speaking “ posh”, I’d be lost otherwise.🐑🐑👍❤️
Gaelic pub n labor work talk. like the humor and laughs
Back breaking work. I started as an 8 yr old, stomping and packing the long burlap wool bags hung from the roof. They had to pull me out of the sack at times. 3ft tall in an 8ft sack.
Remember being so covered in soaked in lanolin, could not get it to wash off until end of shearing season and a deep long bath with lye soap.
Can't wait until you catch up to present day so maybe we can see your little boy!!!!
rofl. We stayed in Kilwinning for several years. I love hearing home again. Always enjoy listnen to ma home folk. Learned so much too.
it's been great, thank you! when does lambing start??? :)
Thank you for trying to make it understandable for us.
Enjoyed your sheep adventures
Have definitely enjoyed the shearing season looking forward to see what you’re up to next
Thanks for a fantastic Sheering season!
Awesome videos all season Cammie. How are Lizzy and wee Jock ?
Make that pull cord longer. Nothing worse than a short cord. Your season finishes and we just get started
Cammy, I'm very grateful that you use "posh" English for your videos. When you start joking around with the other people in farms, I have no idea what any of you are saying. Thanks for thinking of us non-Scottish speakers!
Another fun video. Keep it up. I enjoy your local dialect. 😊
😁😁 thanks Rebecca!
Thanks for that over the year
Hello from White Haven,Pa. USA
Hi!
Don't worry cammy, scanning season Will start before you know y.
Ok now more about Lizzy and baby.🥰. 🦌💌❤️🐑
Hello from Oklahoma USA
Have you ever thought of doing a video on what happens to the wool from the sheep you sheer? So that we city folk can see how the wool is processed after it is removed from the sheep.
Yeah that video is coming in next couple weeks!! You will love it! 😁
Great video as always!!! Now that shearing season is over and you have a new little bundle of joy at home with Lizzy, is it time to cut your hair again? Its looking quite unruly and you look so much better with a grand new cut to complement your dashing good looks!
Haha thanks Lisa, having long hair makes people think i'm too busy for haircuts lol
Love the videos. Keep it going.
Great video! I enjoyed this shearing season!❤❤❤
Loved it!!!
Nae need fir the filter cammy., keep it up 👍👍
Oh no Cammy you got one more shearing job to do and it's you. You need one more trim before you grow your winter coat. Just teasing. You know I love your 'Fro
I very much appreciate the "posh" narration, I was just watching one of your island trip video's and you slipped into more traditional speech and i didn't have a clue what you said :D :D :D :D :D
Very much appreciate the effort you go for us.
Much love from Australia !
