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 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.
It’s one in the morning here in Seattle. 🌧 Hooray for insomnia! And hooray for Cammie and his lambs in rainy Scotland. 🏴
I hope the sheep help u sleep😁
@@TheSheepGame I’ll keep counting ‘em. 🌛
And 7.30pm here in Australia
Evening Cammie from New Zealand 🇳🇿 9.36pm here. Grabs a drink to watch.
That double decker trailer really is slick. I dont think I've ever seen one here in the US. It makes so much more sense when you're transporting smaller stock so you can get twice as many animals in at once. The huge livestock haulers have multiple levels, but I haven't seen a regular stock trailer like that.
That is some racket!
You did well with your lambs this year! I'm happy for you. I'm amazed you get such weights on grass alone.
Well done Cammy! Lovely surprise getting on and finding a new episode. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Good morning Cammy. It’s just after 4 a.m. in middle Georgia USA. This was a great video to wake up to. I want to send Lizzy my best in her late pregnancy. Hoping all is going well!!!! ♥️
Thanks Tammy. All going great!
Wow such a beautiful sky and land❤️
Cracking video as always mate... Lovely to see the lovely comments from all over the place and and all times of the day 😎
Absolutely people are great! Cheers Matt
A little bit of bedtime sheep video for me here in Melbourne Australia! Only just getting to watch it. Love all the noise in the shed. I wonder if the workers who count the sheep in the pens ever have trouble getting to sleep😂😂
😊😅😂😆🤣🤣🤣
A boy Cammy another good video 👍🏻.
No point dwelling on past prices you couldn't have known about price difference between then & now, like you said that's sheep farming for ya.
You're priorities are right, family expanding soon & you already have enough sheep to look after so selling those lambs was a must.
You done well, lambs were looking well too.
It is a noise business going to market. Hopefully you do well there. Good job apparently, Cammy. Always fun to watch you.🥰
Good evening! Pretty lambs ! New Zealand lamb is prized here in Canada!3:42 am here, I woke and cannot return to sleep so I thought that I would count sheep! I want to say that I love your accent, it's much clearer than Grahame's. 🤣🇨🇦
Glad you like it, we can’t afford to buy it here 🤣😂🤣
Thanks Irene!
I can understand why NZ lamb is prised in Canada as it is meat from grass. We like it here too. My own lambs were of the same quality but now that I am retired, if I have a choice, when shopping I choose NZ over Welsh lamb as it is a reliable product.
It's the wee hours of the morning and it seems I've been blessed with a sheep game video!
Enjoying the vids and the older ones great too. Hope you're having a good fall. My sons really like the 'catching a big ram' vid we must have watched it 30 times.
Haha there is more of that coming soon!
The trials of being a farmer! Thanks Cammy for the video and your positive attitude!👍🏻❤!
As you said, some you win, some you loose. That's any type of farming. My yard is like the Okifanoke swamp still. My lawn mower man said he got bogged at several places he mows. Poor wee manie. (I'm talking about average house blocks in Australia, not farm acres. ) My sister came back from her outlaws place the other side of the mountains 10 days ago (the Murray River side) & stopped at a big water storage Dam. She took photos of water pouring across the spill way. I think it is only the second time in it's existence. Love to all, Joolz.
Crazy wet here too. And still 16c in November!
Always a pleasure to see what Cammy and family are up to . The sheep are always adorable. Buy wool stay warm!
I really enjoy the market videos, and the work in back of the ring. Things are done quite differently here in the sales I have been to in Missouri. For one thing the seller is responsible for his own sorting and they have ring"men" , which are sometimes ladies, that go in the ring when animals are sold. I think the seller in the ring with their own animals is a much better idea.
Absolutely another beautiful fabulous upload.. gorgeous editing sharp and clear well done Sir Merci 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was wild, But fun to see how fast it went and Love all the sounds made it real to me. I was there..Great video...Granny USA
Great video to watch in the wee hours here in Canada. I'm staying in with cold weather warning. -26C 🥶🐏💜🇨🇦
6c here in Iceland just now. Just like Scottish weather 😁
@@TheSheepGame and you can relax in the nice warm thermal pools❄️🙂💜
Good video, don't know why I watched it but I grew up on a working dairy farm and somehow felt at home here......
Thanks to you and Sandy Brock, I am going to get some sheep! If all goes well I will have some feeders next year as a trial run!
Good luck!
Thanks for the video! 🐑
10pm in NZ.Failing to sleep. Enjoyed the vid.
fantastic 'atmospherics' at the sale on todays episode. and thats a fantastic mic, good clean audio in what sounds like a right rammy! great video as always.
Glad you enjoy it!
Love the videos, sheep farmer here in Wicklow prices gone to shite here too
I've not seen the duel deck trailers here in Australia mate, not for sheep anyway. Most use a standard trailer with a cage for the sheep and dual decks are usually reserved for the lorries.
I just love the look of the Suffix sheep in Scotland. American version has to much Dorset in them. They have far longer legs and longer bodies with the same markings.
Probably a bit late, but really enjoy the tup sale videos u made previously
That’s a nice wee surprise tonight ..did nt expect to c u …glad they all got away and a reasonable return….hope the family s all fit and healthy
Thanks Elizabeth. All well =D
Well done Cammy😀
from Indonesia love you
Thanks for the hat ,love it from the lambman in Nova Scotia
Thanks William!
That was very interesting!
Made my day receiving my Sheep Game bobble hat.Will wear it with pride.
Legend Sara thanks!
Good morning from 🇨🇦
Your plate is full and you can't predict what the market will go right now. They are Richard's concern now.
Only seen double decker trailers for the big lorry in Canada.
Sandi could do well with one of those.
Hope all goes well for the delivery and take care.
Thanks. I'm sure the trailers will get over there eventually =D
@@TheSheepGame, I hope so. But the bigger trailers can be used for cattle & horses, as well.
Good pen of lambs there cammy shame the trade has come back a wee but thats how it goes. Great vlog as usual!
Great video Cammy you done very well 👌
Thank you! 😁
Good video that must have been a massive sale between weanling calves and store lambs fat lambs bit back on price too👍
As usual, a great video.
👍👍😁❤️
I totally understand about the racket. When the newly-weaned calves or their mums are pastured across the road from my house, they tend to keep me awake at night for the first two days!
Did the grey fleece come in after the baby arrived? 😁
Those are beautiful lambs. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Hi Jo! Do u mean my grey hairs?🤣
@@TheSheepGame glad that I was awake to see your shining face again.
God job! Looking forward to your own new wee lamb!! Please put music back into intro!
I’d never seen a double-decked trailer like yours until I watched your videos, I hang around with horse things here in America, have a 3-horse myself. Those trailers are just the ticket for sheep.
Yeah i'm sure they'll get over there eventually
That was a good sale
That's a good average price. Well done!
Cheers Jimmy.
I often wonder how you got them up the top of carrier. Now I know.
I don’t understand the logic behind the design of American trailers. Marissa is fitting in well, and yes, there is a lot they don’t teach at college, I guess that is why they send them out for experience, some good and some regrettably horrendous. I am sure your student is getting the best experience.
Didn't appear that there were many buyers in the seats...but in the end you make a decision and move on...
That ua is crazy busy market for sure.
🤣🤣I was getting a little concerned there for a minute. I thought this was a "sheep" only market and heard nothing but cattle bawling. Figuring the sheep were changing their tunes.....
Morning Cammy hope Lizzie is keeping well and little jock is being a menace he’s a right bonnie loon. Take care xx
Thanks Debbie!
Narr not too late mate, it is what it is with the prices! Your still ahead of your target. Are you recording which ewes are producing fats vs stores and off what ground on flock watch??
No i'm just not well enough organised to record all that info. I might try a bit more one day.
You know what you do with your animals, I think if you didn’t lost money you can sell because you make money and the filds can recuperate and sometimes the weather conditions is changing and you don’t know what will happen. Greats from Uruguay.
Thanks Fredy!
🐨👍
😀
You know what the sales are like, but in the end someone else pays to get them to wieght
Have you ever sold stores at Longtown mart? Usually a great trade there even for smaller stores.
No but i hear good things 👍
Wernice👍🇹🇷
Ps that's a good price wouldn't hardly pay you to give them meal to finish 🤔
Trade was back alright, think it's better to try and ship them all when trade is good, made the same mistake myself several times, still a fair price though, well done.
Yeah we need a crystal ball lol
Let us know if there is a food delivery sign up for when the second babe is born. Here in the US they have those kind of services
Hi Donna we don't have that here but thank you for the kind offer.
Hi would you mind if I ask you where is the address that you go sell your sheep ?
Thanks
Hi Jack this vid was UA Stirling.
@@TheSheepGame thanks
Do you deduct the mart commission from the prices you show?
Morning Cammy. Where do most of your lambs sell to? For meat or for breeding? How you’re all well!
All for meat!
Are store lambs only ewes or rams as well?
Both 😁👍
jenis domba aoa yang kamu pelihara?
When was the sale?
24th Oct
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑👍👏🏼
Are you selling them store as they aren’t ‘fit’ enough? As their weights would be prime here in Nz.
Yeah, They are big but lean.
factory want a lamb that will kill out at 20 kgs ........will pay up to 22 kgs at the moment ........23 ks next march and back to 20 kgs when the new seasons lamb comes on stream .......they do not want them above those weights or below 17 ks at all ............
@@georgedoorley5628 they want 17-19kg here in New Zealand, which is interesting as lots gets exported to the uk. you'd think they'd be wanting to meet the market. I guess the asian market is much bigger so perhaps that's why the slightly smaller size (although lots of our mutton goes to China etc as well). 37-42kg is about standard to send off as prime.
Question: the gentleman working at sorting out the wee sheepies (the man you kept telling him to, "Don't look at me! Don't turn around!" So funny, lol. But you called him a "gaffer." Is that what a gaffer is? I've heard the term before (thank you, "Lord of The Rings"), but never knew what it meant. Is that right? Is that what a gaffer does?
No the ‘gaffer’ was the older gentleman. It means boss. 😁
@@TheSheepGame OhOOooooH! Thanks for the explanation! I always like the vids of taking sheep to auction. I always learn so many cool things.
Were these lambs takin to market Before Iceland?.
24th Oct. Yeah😁
Why did you sell the 44kg lambs as store and not fat? Thank you
Because they weren’t fat 😅. Too lean for a prime sale 👍
weanling sale on ........going by all the roaring .........!
It makes me so sad that they will be slaughtered for food....but i love lamb and it's the majority of meat that I eat....
I miss the old intro
Not sure when his was filmed but the fat went up 30p last week, so hopefully that's the sheep trade turned the corner.
Yeah this was just before that.
I think you should be selling ewe lambs seperate at breeding sales. You would get more for them.
Might try some next year.
Have y’all found out the gender of the baby yet? Team pink!!
It’s another boy 😅
@@TheSheepGame maybe next time 🤣
Don't you feel remorse for your crimes against these innocent creatures?
Don't you see that they love life like you and don't want to die?
Don't you see how much they are afraid of dying and scream out of fear?
Do you want someone to treat you and your family or loved ones like this?
If you have an iota of compassion and conscience, stop this dirty work.
(Eating meat is a crime
