I think even your dog was laughing at your rodeo with that ram. The drone footage was so enjoyable, your site is really the best sheep vlogs on youtube. So positive, no moaning and whining, just getting on with the job at hand. You deserve way more subscribers.
I live in the Eastern Washington USA. I love your video's they are so much fun to watch. 😃 I have Shetland sheep and love them, also have Finnsheep. Your dogs are terrific, wish I had helpers like them. I shear my own sheep and I'm 65. Of course I don't have as many as you. Also love "The Hoof GP" too.
I’m quite far south in Norwich, Norfolk and have a flock of Shetlands! They are tough which is why I chose them, but they are also very independent and their fleeces are amazing, I’ve already sold next years, with a shearling fleece fetching £20.
What a nice little sheep, I imagine they'd be very popular for people with small holdings. I really enjoy you talking about the different sheep and the reasons behind the choices you make.
The Drone footage of the dogs working the sheep is incredible! Great video. I lost a little bit of your conversation in translation but no worries 🤣😂🤣. Sandi sent me, I’m watching from Ireland ☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️☘️👌
We live in Miami, Arizona USA. Its high desert, not great sheep country, but we have been raising Shetlands for over ten years. They are wonderful sheep and their thrift and strong instincts are what I like best about them. I do think they are a tough little sheep. Thanks for the video
Brilliant story Karen! Amazing that there are Shetland over there! If u have any little video clips u could send them to my dropbox? I’d love to see them. Thesheepgame@outlook.com
I have read an article about the Shetlands in a Canadian sheep management magazine. I laughed my head off at their antics described by the author (the farmer). I believe you … the world’s toughest sheep!
had a GSD/BC mix who could herd my shetland/icelandic crosses. The best part is that after a few runs at them, they realized that she was not going to take any guff. After not too long all I had to do to get them back to the shed was yell out her name. LOL they just didn't want to mess with her. Miss my silly Sadie.
Loved the drone footage of the dogs getting the Shetlands in, music went really well with it too. I think the Shetlands look super cute, but you can see they're plotting your demise, watch your back Cammy! Hahaa.
Years ago I saw some of the first Shetland Sheep that were imported for the exotic animal business. There were many colors and their fleece was really long. They were beautiful. You can see the sheen in your sheep's fiber. I imagine the fleece is lovely to spin. Thanks for sharing.
Watching you catching your boy was hilarious, but you hung on. It reminded me of the small rodeos here in Western Canada. One of the contests is the kids riding sheep. 🐑🇨🇦
I did a lambing season in Shetland and had some crosses in my own flock - they were actually easy to work with...but NOT with a dog! They prefer to be led than driven.
I love this video! I have shetlands in the US. They can be hard to work with but they're lovely sheep! They can be super friendly though, in smaller groups when you get to spend time working with them. They're terribly hard on my dogs though. Stubborn little sheep!
Thanks Sara, they came from two different farms and there is one small group that must have been fed/petted a bit and they are still a bit tame. But I agree they are pretty hard on the dogs, just not wanting to always frock together and sitting down in a strop when they've had enough 🤣
My dog seemed to enjoy bossing around a flock of shetlands at a farm we helped at. She usually works with cheviots in her classes. (I find them easy to work with because they're quite friendly and respond to my verbal commands, lol. "Hey, don't go anywhere - stay with me" and they will, lol). Her (my dog's) dad has a bunch of icelandic sheep. (His favorite rug to lay on is apparently made from a ram that used to give him a hard time, lol).
With our cows, all you had to do was rattle one of the silo doors. They could be at the back of the farm and they all would come on the run. They loved my silage.
I can't believe I missed this one! What a cutie Simon is!! I wonder what's become of Simon now, one year out? Actually.... I probably shouldn't wonder. His story may just be a we bit sad 😢 If I were closer, and not a year late.... I would have purchased Simon from Sean! He's just so stinking sweet!!! Thanks for this one Cammy! TOTALLY MADE MY NIGHT! Standing here with HUGE smile throughout this one!!
Absolutely agree they are tough! I have a small flock of Shetlands in British Columbia, Canada and they will attack my dog.. can't let her in the pen at all. We have nicknamed them knee knockers LOL
Great video. I just stumbled on your channel and already love it. I have Shetlands, I’m in the US, and they are very though sheep indeed. Even getting them penned on my measly 5 acre property is a challenge. I really appreciated seeing your dogs at work with them. I know that they can ruin dogs because they are soooooo hard to manage and stubborn from time to time.
another great video Cammy, and totally agree with you regarding Shetland Sheep, they are totally under rated sheep, yes they can be a bit wild, and have a habit of breaking into several groups when bringing them in. The moorit ones are by far the most rowdy, white ones generally tend to be quieter, I find them rewarding to work with, they are very clever and don't rub it in your face much when they have you beat, unlike BF who seem to gloat, I bred pure Shetland for a couple of years, but just got far too many tup lambs and there isnt so much a market for Shetland Tups, but the ewe lambs are deffo a big asset, I started crossing Shetland ewes with Beltex and got some cracking white ewe lambs that were 2/3 beltex looking, just had a Shetland tail and Shetland mothering , which is a great thing, another great thing is their footprint and food cost, they wont even eat half the amount a mule eats and still can rear 2 decent lambs, I sold loads store this year and was getting 120-130 for a set of twins, a mule with lambs maybe give you more money for lambs, but they cost more to feed, I may go back and breed some pures , just to get ewe lambs, because when you cross them you can end up with really good ewes .
Being a Shetland breeder, this video really made me laugh! They are canny wee shites! Mine are all very tame if you believe it but they are too smart for their own good, see me with waterproofs and they suddenly become feral 🙈🙈 but hardy as for high up in the border hills so suits me. I think I’m more mental for getting into Kerry Hills... 😂
Where I live, they have (large) Ramboullet. They were found in (France) in WWII, wandering with no caregivers at all, which was considered very unusual. They were a wrinkled skin type. Some were brought here. They did well and someone started watching for smooth skin, so they were better shearable. (Read a local book on it.)
Watching you catch that ram reminds me of the first ram I ever had to catch. You almost had as much difficulty as I did. Of course, I was only 11at the time - and a girl, at that. Persistence pays off. PS. Great video, as usual. And thanks for the memory!
You forgot the Hebridean blackface... Braw is a throwback to the Viking (Norse)...it still means great, good and all that is welcome in Sweden and Norway...we still use many words that have stayed with us from them!!
Love it. Those sheep were pretty cute with their own minds for sure. Watching you ride the ram was pretty funny. Seeing the drone pictures of those dogs rounding up the sheep was amazing. Love the dogs. ❤️
One of breeds here is Altay sheep that was bred to live in harsh winters of Altay mountains, I guess they're not very far from other breeds that live in not ideal conditions.
Did well to hold onto him there Cammy! Once saw Adam Henson catch one like that on country file years ago,I think Swaledales are one of the hardiest sheep,but then am being biased as they are my favourite ones.
Sandi Brook. I've been watching her since she had just over 30,000 followers. Now the HoofGP - he makes more sense for me to follow as I grew up on a beef farm with horses and we trimmed our own horse's feet. Cattle never seemed to need it but for an odd toe needed a bit of nipping off with horse nippers
Shetland are my favorite, the best fiber to spin and knit with. I'm hoping to have my own flock next year, they're pretty hardy here in New England in the states.
I really enjoyed this video, took me awhile to understand you, but you explained a few words and over time, I got the gist of it. I’ll keep checking in and I’m sure I’ll love all of your videos and learn the lingo as it goes also. Thanks for the post.👍👍👍❤️❤️🐑🐑
@@TheSheepGame I’m originally from New York, but am living in Quebec now for ages. I’ve visited Scotland once, and loved it. It felt like home. Took awhile for me to catch what folks were saying sometimes then also, especially when they were excited and talking fast. Hopefully I will be able to go back someday.
I never saw a breed of sheep before that had so many different facial colourations, and body types, and also colours. A few even looked like Jacob's sheep only without horns. Very interesting to view. Thank you for showing us these sheep.
😹😹😹😹me Aunt use to breed Shetlands, plus she is in the Shetland’s 😹😹but hers always run to her when she called them 😹😹 Sandi Brock from Canada mentioned your TH-cam glad she did had a good laugh when you were catching the ram😹😹
That was a pretty good tackle on that one.lol. I just bought 50 head of SAMM ewes that were supposed to be bred and they were all open, I put a buck with them and he already bred 20 in two days lol
North Ronaldsay sheep from the Orkney islands. They live on seaweed all year so they are in better shape in the winter when more seaweed washes up on shore.
I have to say that toughness is relative. None of the breeds you mentioned can hold up here in the US deep south (Georgia). It is very hot and very humid. I run a small flock of Gulf Coast Native sheep. I don't worm adult sheep. I don't loose sheep to heat. They are way more resistant to foot rot. I'm not sure how well they would do in Scotland, but for my area, they win the toughness award.
They sound tough alright!! When i was making the video I didn't think about all the breeds that withstand extreme conditions at the other end of the scale! It;s been really interesting reading about all the different breeds! Thank you!
I had a ram that just decided to go feral…we named him Rambo because no one could enter the pasture for any reason for 3 months as we tried to alter behavior. Finally got so bad that it was dangerous for animals and people alike. No health reason so we packed him away in the freezer. Turned out to be the finest fattest pile of sheep cuts I have ever tasted. I ended up giving away this mean 3 y/o mutton to potential customers and got 3 new customers in one shot! That’s 3 half-lamb orders for the holidays every year I can supply them! So Rambo got me 750 quid per year for the foreseeable future! I guess mean tastes great! Had to update: Lamb has doubled since I wrote this so 1500 quid per year and rising with more referral customers! The sheep business is good right now!
Love your channel! I think sheep are adorable, you teach as well as share your world, it's wonderful. Loved the drone footage, is there such a job as sheep wrestler? If so, you should go for it!
If you are going to make the river running inside the pasture, then you will need the stream to be less than a tenth of a sanitary deep in order to purify and protect young sheep from drowning, and you will need barriers inside that river, even if it is an artificial river created from a natural river.
I think even your dog was laughing at your rodeo with that ram. The drone footage was so enjoyable, your site is really the best sheep vlogs on youtube. So positive, no moaning and whining, just getting on with the job at hand. You deserve way more subscribers.

They will be loving life down there!! Yes the wool is very good! nice sheep to shear too! Maybe i'll need to sell the wool through TH-cam haha
What a nice little sheep, I imagine they'd be very popular for people with small holdings. I really enjoy you talking about the different sheep and the reasons behind the choices you make.
Yes they are. And because the wool is so soft the spinners like them.
And the knitters! Watching this wearing a Shetland wool hat. Check out Shetland Woolweek for a free pattern. 😉

I agree. Captions are not enough. I need simultaneous translations

We give our sheep, sheep nuts to train them. If I run out, I shake a bucket of stones instead. The looks I get from them after, I should be dead.
Haha, very good, I'm sure they were a little disappointed at the stones instead of nuts 😂
I didn't know it was a repeat, just woke up and found you've been running throughout the night on my tablet

loved seeing Meg watching you flopping about with the ram.. good times
I am getting shetlands in a few weeks so I have been looking for videos about them. Yours was by far the most entertaining 👌🐑

hahaha not as tough as me though eh Mags?
@@TheSheepGame looked like you had the situation completely under control.
😂😂😂🥰
Pure Jacobs are the toughest I've had. Some of them look more like goats than sheep! Great drone footage on the round up too Cammy, love it.
Cheers James! got a few Jacobs myself! I'm crossing them with a valais blacknose this year!!
So true. A lot when city people come to visit they are surprised I keep my 'goats' with my sheep. As I have more sheepy looking cluns
hahahah loving Cammy's subtitles
Hoping its helping everyone understand a bit more with my accent.
Quite the ride to catch that tup, while the girls just stood and watched. :)
Think they enjoyed the role reversal for a change😂
Love the Shetland sheep!
Love the drone shots with the sheep and the dogs - and the accompanying music is perfect - like a movie soundtrack! Great job.
2nd music segment terrific too - even a slo-mo shot!! Really enjoyed it.

Thanks Dean it's been well received I maybe need to do more of it!!
Great catch ! Going to be exciting to see what the lambs are like out your Shetlands , they’ve got character 😊
Will be fun!!

Thank you!!
They're quick to learn, I call and in they come. Cheap to keep, easy lambing and with the right tup you'll still finish a decent lamb.
Thanks David! See how these ones go!
Dude! I'm not the only guy mental enough to run Shetlands after all. If I can ever go back over to Ayr, we need to talk sheep over a few pints.
If we’re ever allowed out for pints again🙌🏼

I do love my traditional scottish music Ruth and try to fit it in when I can.
Cluns are so popular here in the US for fleece. It’s so lovely to process and spin. Difficult to find, and expensive.
Right, not sure I've seen too many of them over here.
Shetland are my favorite, the best fiber to spin and knit with. I'm hoping to have my own flock next year, they're pretty hardy here in New England in the states.

Merino from Australia, summertime temps of up to 48-50 F, and living on the barest minimum of Grass toughest sheep in the world

Love your channel! I think sheep are adorable, you teach as well as share your world, it's wonderful. Loved the drone footage, is there such a job as sheep wrestler? If so, you should go for it!
Love the vid cammy keep em coming
Thanks Owen!
The Shetland that looks like a goat... I love 💘
She does stand out pretty well Katie, I will know if I haven't seen her I haven't seen them all when checking 😉
If you are going to make the river running inside the pasture, then you will need the stream to be less than a tenth of a sanitary deep in order to purify and protect young sheep from drowning, and you will need barriers inside that river, even if it is an artificial river created from a natural river.
Much to know about sheep and you made it interesting. Thank you for sharing.🐏🐑😷👍
Thanks Randolph!
I love to watch the dogs work the sheep.❤️
