- Video is from end of Sept. We were drawing more lambs for market and trying to keep the cash flow positive to cover grass rents etc.
Lots of big changes to the system coming in the next year or so, we'll share it all with you guys of course!

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 (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 TH-cam 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 had to laugh at mild mannered Lizzie saying " Lie Dune" in a possessed demon voice 👹. I think she is the greatest partner for you Cammy.
Here in New England.. 5:30am.. but a Good Afternoon to all SHEEP FANS! Thanks for sharing! I had a great laugh through most of this excellent video. Yup.. driving the jeep, holding the camera making a video, herding the sheep, instructing the dogs, Jack hanging out the passenger door, hanging onto the toddler so you don't lose him..WOW.. talk about multi tasking!! Love and cheers to some better weather!
Jock is turning into a full fledged toddler.
I think this is the best video yet, this is a true family effort. Jock is definitely a star attraction , Lizzie is an absolute trooper a Jack of all trades and making sure Angus is in the thick of things too. Jock bouncing about the car and hanging out the door was I must admit making me a bit nervous but the look on your face when you thought for a second you might have been locked out of the motor by Jock was priceless 😂
Think you need a puppy crate for Wee Jock or he will be in
Grand Thedt Auto before long.
Thanks Cammy and Lizzie . You have opened my eyes to sheep farming. I’ll never look at lamb chops without appreciation of the work it takes to get to our table .
I'm here in Georgia USA watching you work in the rain while we're having a thunderstorm! 😂😂
Jock and Angus are having the best childhood…Team work is the dream work
Hope you are all safe and dry after the storm 😊
Stay safe Cammy. Hope storm Babet doesn't cause you too much hassle.
Loved the video Cammy. Jock is a chatty little guy and his camera work was pretty good. Hope you guys are all well and I’ll be looking forward to the next one.
See if you can get a broken camera for jock to play with! My kids when they were that age were obsessed with my phone. I got a broken one and they thought it was the real thing 😂 might work for you guys! ❤️ much love. Another great video!
You are such a hard working family, and of course the children are adorable 😊😊😊
I love wee Jock! “Please” and “bumpy” so sweet!
Jock and Angus just made my day with their darling faces in the camera 😊❤️
Jock is really learning a lot of words. You will have to watch what you say now. His driving is pretty good too 😂
It certainly is a family undertaking. Cheers to Lizzy, you, Jock, Angus and the lolly pop man 😊👍👍
The camera is great!
That boy is hilarious 💚 love the curls ❣️
I love how you keep it real, farm life is hard at the best off time, then you put small people in the mix 😂❤
What a great video clammy, I take my hat off to you all, your all working ever so hard for your family, I don’t think we really appreciate all the hard work that goes into being a farmer, in it makes it even harder in this weather, plus having two young kids in tow, I really admire you & Lizzie, I hope storm bebet doesn’t do much damage, I’m just up the road from you’ s We’er getting battered with the wind right now, ps you’re kids are just amazing, wee jock’s loving every minute of it, he’s not got a care in the world. Please stay safe all you ❤
Oh my gosh!! Jock is adorable!!! He's gonna get ya dad!! With that cute face, I'm sure it's hard to say no! I can't tell you how hard it is to turn that around when they're not as "cute"! Lol!! I'm sure you're just trying to video, though, and what we have to do sometimes to appease them just so we can get some work done is enough to make us all cringe at ourselves!! Try raising your grandson since birth. I'm mom to him, but to me I'm still grandma and boy does he get away with murder because of that!!! Lol! I know better than most the grave I'm digging myself!! 😂😂😂
Absolutely adorable footage Jock!! LOVED IT!!
What a great video! Jock is just so funny, what an age - not a bad camera man either. The new GoPro really is so clear, worth the money hopefully. Stay safe in the storm!!
Sometimes a car seat is for parent's peace of mind more than actual car safety. I used to lock mine in just so I could be able to focus. 😅 He is a good cameraman however!
I agree, too many small children die or are maimed in farm accidents.
Loved seeing the boys and Lizzie working with you. And you giving driving lessons brings back memories.
Tough lot you all are. Not sure I could be out in the cold rain and wind for hours. The boys will be great farmers, drivers, and cameramen when they get older. Lots of experience.
Your two boys are adorable. 😊
Jock needs his own little toy camera! Once again, cute boys hardworking parents teaching them what it takes to make it. What a mom and dad! Nice sheep! Thanks for sharing.
Oh yikes, it looks chilly out there and you are all working so hard. Okay, I have to admit I am no farmer and love your videos and I was completely shocked at the sight of that fly strike. I had no idea that those maggots went right through that fleece to their skin. It had me scratching and wanting to run for my bug spray! Your boys are adorable and right out there learning what hard work their parents do for them. Loved the video, stay warm and I hope the storm isn’t too bad. Take care Cammy, Lizzie and thank you for taking the time to bring us along with you. ❤❤
Jock is so cute trying to help you drive. Lizzy and Angus outside moving the sheep. You do have your hands full but you are a patient dad.❤️. It’s getting cooler this time of year. Here it’s raining and cool today, yesterday was sunny and beautiful. That time of the year for change. Family teamwork.❤️🥰
❤ Love the hard working family.
Some rain in Irelad too. Never ending
Jock needs his own wee camera. The wee man was doing great filming you!
A boy Cammy another good video 👍.
Jock cam was funny, he wasn't happy with the bumps 😂. You better hope Angus isn't as wild as Jock or you guys are in trouble 😂😂.
Lamb's are looking good Cammy. All Lizzy's hard work is paying off 😉.
Just loved seeing so much of Wee Jock!!! Hope the storm wasn't too bad.
More blogs with Jock is needed brilliant, great video
Loving the format of the videos, great to see the reality of sheep farming day to day
Glad you enjoy it! I like making them this way!
Fantastic video ! Thanks for sharing your lives with us. You’re the best !!!!
Good video bad weather here in Ni too that rappa is a great job 👍
Jock - he needs his own channel! Sorry, Cammy but I only come here for Jock 😉. He’s your star turn 😃. Looking forward to Angus catching him up.
Aha! I'm picking up the Scots accent at last. After binge watching about halfway through all your videos, a mystery to my ear was finally cleared up. My Canadian ear kept hearing "Salu Meg" or something like that and it had me baffled. The light bulb finally went on as I realized it was "That'll do Meg". My Gran would be proud. She left Glasgow for Edmonton in 1913 at age 14. Just her and great grandma Gowan travelling all that way by themselves via RMS Lusitania.
Great video! your boys are adorable … can’t believe fly strike is still around!
Jock has a future in film I think, that was some impressive camera work, especially for a toddler lol. He's been watching his papa closely. ❤️
Love the new Gopro. The stabilization as you were running and when Jock was holding the camera was perfect.
Great video! I laughed when I first saw your mic because I thought it was your chest hair!! hahahah The fuzz was just at the bottom of the screen and it was attached right at the opening of your jacket. I thought you'd get a laugh out of that! hahah
I have just arrived in your neck of the woods from 🇦🇺 Australia. I must say the weather today is stunning. Love your vids
And here I was thinking the beautifully enhanced cinematography was due to my recent cataract surgeries; come to find out it’s only your new GoPro. 😂😂. Well done, Cammy!

Heard that there was flooding in Scotland, I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.❤
Wow Jock is an amazing cameraman😲👍
Cracking lambs Cammy,big Jock is some boy!.I hope the weather get better pal great video take care.
New go pro difference shows and is excellent. You do a top job of shifting from one thing to the next and letting little Jock experience all he can while keeping him safe. Good on you and Lizzie. Boy oh boy when Angus gets moving on his own you will both have more than your hands full.
When babies first words are not mom and dad. But Sheep 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s the way to bring up weans, wonder what their accents are going to be like
Great video and a small shepherd in the making! Used to raise 250 head in Western Canada and considering it again.
Love the way the sheep lay back for a "Fleece Cut"
Jock is the foreman on these jobs. Your part of the country has missed this storm. I am in South Aberdeenshire. Right in the heart of the red warning area. Fortunately I don't need to go anywhere and can hide indoors with extra cake.
Great video Cammy them lambs are in great condition 👌👌
An Angus smile.❤️
Awh jock is sooooo cuteeeee❤❤ cheesseeee
Oh my god, Jock is a grand little bairn!
Good stuff. 👍 Aye. It's been some weather. Wet & windy here in East Lothian. Heart goes out to the flooded folk up in Angus, Perthshire & Aberdeenshire. Hope it doesn't hit North England too badly. ✌
I think in addition to a fine career as a sheep farmer, Jock could be a lorry driver, a photographer (we say "cheese" in the US to get people to smile for a photo) or a TH-cam star. As you say, some boy with a bright future! I see that Fern hasn't changed her ways. I love the new GoPro. Was that snow, sleet or rain? Were those your store lambs? As always, you don't have to answer if you have better things to do. 🐑
Jock is a STAR 🌟
Can definitely tell the difference with the new GoPro!
Want an amazing woman. Lizzy is one in a million
Lovely filming from Jock there, loved the close of the lamb haha. Poor girl had really been got by flystrike
Sound and video were good. Nice new go pro
Cammy, it is Storm Babet.
When plugging in his seat belt, I thought Jock was going to tell you to "get tae f@#&"
Lizzie and Angus! What a good baby! Perhaps Jock's onterest in the camera might lead to a career someday...
Stay safe. Storms coming❤❤❤
The name for the van is a bit wordy but had me dying 😂😅😂
Storm Babet not your friend today with even more rain predicted.
Hope you aren't under water like poor Scotland.
Stay safe and smart with washouts.❤
Another entertaining video, Cammy. You're going to have to start carrying your keys with you when you leave Jock in the truck or he'll be off and away with it. Do you watch Tara Bellerose? She's also a shepherd with a great sense of humour.
Great camera work Jock
Great job
My dad used to let me sit on his lap and drive around the store parking lot.
Mine too. Happy memories.
Enjoyed
Re Storm. What do sheep usually do in a storm? Gather together? Hide in tall grass? Just curious 😂
As a former driving instructor, I’d take an inexperienced farm kid over a music student anytime! Or as my dad said, “If they toot a flute, they can’t drive worth a hoot”
Lizzie lie dune was so funny to hear her say that x
Car seat ❤
He wouldn't like it but car seats work to keep little ones safe better than a fist full of clothes.
Scared the crap out of me when Jock kept opening the truck door.
Cammy could we see you in an England themed Jersey in support for the last home nation in the World Cup, us fellow oval ball chuckers in the South are keen to see your support. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 come on England do the unimaginable 🏉
Child car seat ? He's not saying cheese out the window lol he's saying Sheep ! Sheep ! 😅
You are some hardy folk up there, from an east anglian. Does the fact that the lambs are wet give a false impression of weight?
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hopefully you are dodging these 50mph winds the past few days or atleast the rain the east coast has been getting the last week or 2
I used to let my daughter drive on my lap like that too...but then someone mentioned what happens if the airbag goes...? Stay safe mate!
Time to flip the child safe lock on the car doors.
Hope wee Jock didn't get too covered in sheep sugar (poop)
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Me first!!! Love ya Cammy!
🐨👍
💕💕💕 doesn't Jock have a play camera of his own?
How is your ankle doin' my friend. Those things can last longer than a break. I learned how to tape mine up from a sports trainer, so I still had some mobility, but wasn't reinjuring it all the time.😊
Aye the BFG's are getting too dear, but they are good. The Mexican made one's don't last anything like the USA made so check before you buy..
Every WINGING female in the world should take a leaf out WONDER MUM LIZZY, 10 OUT OF 10 TO YOU LIZZY. ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO CAM . Yes button down the hatches for storm,all the best from Australia 🇦🇺
What happend to Angus' nose?😮
As always another great video, shame about the weather. Random question does your merch ship to Spain ?
Thanks! Yeah we go all over the world 😁
@@TheSheepGame AHH perfect i am now farming in Spain left my family farm Normangill in Scotland to go out on my own with my Spanish wife and decided to farm here.
Wheres the weigher today ?
What did they likely do with that last lamb with all those maggots? How did it get that much in that line across the back? Worst I've seen so far on this channel. I assume all that wool was trashed, right?
Hi Cammy. Can you tell me what model of shearer you’re using in this video? Love your videos!Thanks, Garry Isle of Lewis👍
Frist again 😂 love your videos
Is "frist" a Scottish word for "second place"? 🤣🤣🤣🤡
Dont your vehicles come with child safety lock feature?
