- Hello 👋
Welcome to Sam Shutt Farming, daily life on the Hill farm
This is Sam and Oliver plus 4 children farming beef sucklers and sheep in the North Yorkshire/Cumbria border area.
We are first-generation farmers, and we've had no help at all to get to where we are now. We are here to show you our life and what we do. I am also here to show new entrance that it is possible to start from scratch. Being strong-willed, determined, and a lot of hard work, you can do it.
We are both from farming backgrounds. I grew up on a family dairy farm. Milking from a very young age.Working for my uncle when i left school. I've learnt everything from him and grown ever since. I met Oliver when I was 16 he was 15. We started with a few sheep when we met and have built up over the 16 years to where we are now. We took on a 500-acre hill farm in 2019, currently 5 years into the tenancy.
Also, here to show people women can be useful in the agricultural world.😉😁

Keep up the good work I love your videos.
I just wish your partner would treat you with a bit more respect.
I was quite shocked by his manner in the last video. You deserve better.
I’m from Ireland with a farming background, but nobody in my family would speak to a lady that way and you should demand the same from your family and husband
We all have stressed days, if I put on what I say then be different again. We say what we want to each other. Sometimes hard to hide everything 🤣🤣 I want to put across real life . And this is part of our real life. Arguments and disagreeing is all part of life. 😁😁 thanks for watching 😃😃
I hear you Sam, my husband and I have been married for 38 years on July 2 this year. You argue and have bad times, but it all depends on the stress or hardships. I see you and Oliver love each other and work very hard. You have a good outlook, don't change. You two should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Now about that sheep you brought in and it looked like it was seizing, did it make it ok? Or did it die? The area you live is so beautiful. I wish my Steve and I live somewhere like that. We both love England. Steve was born there, and I only lived there between 1964-68. We are both Air Force brats and moved a lot. Have a good day :)
Iam glad someone has noticed the real us 🤣 hardships and stress are always a concern for relationships, but we've been through the worst and making a go for it. No, she didn't make it . We tried. ! We've lost a few sheep this year. Airforce wow ! 👌 one thing we've never done is go anywhere 🤣🤣
Sam, another enjoyable video! Nice date! 😉 Very interesting on how you got started,thanks for sharing!
Haha only date we will ever get🤣🤣 iam going to do a full video on background and how we built up for people that were interested.
Holy moly you guys work hard! I can’t imagine how unbelievably hard it must be!!
Sam your ok sweetheart ❤❤ it’s a couple things said that were not ok. Yes we all have our fights but there is a limit and some things are not acceptable. Oliver your a better man than that and would be a much bigger and wonderful man to treat her as the queen she is! ❤ And Sam obviously love and treat oliver as the king he is and can be ❤. Your a beautiful family and love the farm, keep posting. The good the bad the ugly and wonderful! Your kids are just awesome and you guys are making proper little farmers, 😂❤😂❤
Love the vlogs keep em coming can’t wait to see you reach your first 10k then 100k and more!!! your stock look amazing btw! ❤🐑🐄❤
Now on to binging all your content ! 🐮🐑🐓🐄
Oh, what a lovely comment 😍😍 thankyou very kind words! We love our lifestyle its just a very hard one . But hopefully worth it . Kids adore farming and iam glad there such a good help, and all well mannered most of the time 🤣 I enjoy showing all aspects and continue to do so. Glad you enjoy the vids thanks for watching ❤️❤️ ia..not sure I will hot 10k and definitely not 100k 🤣🤣 if we did it would change our life 🤣🥰
Another great video Sam,it's great to have a bit of sun on our backs,it has been one long miserable wet winter here,Great to see your hard work paying off,hope fully one day you will own a farm instead of renting one.Beautiful countryside.
Would be fantastic to own one instead of renting, could grow better and build ect. Renting is dead money but in a way its helping us build up for future 😍 hopefully have a backbone for the kids
Good to see you getting g out and about and tidying up the pens , you keep those animals in top class conditions with fresh bedding and food , roll on the grass taking a jump 🌱
Can't wait until we turn out!! So excited for them !! We try our best 👌 look after them they look after you
Another great video as always. Your blue heifers are super calves. Love the scenery. The good weather at last means everything.
It sure does . Happy happy. Thanks! They have turned out really well .
Calves have grown loads! Looking great 👌🏻
Thanks ! Put our cattle numbers up to 44😍
Your living my dream life Sam, I love how you 2 get along Oliver seem to be the grumpy git at times but I’ve a feeling he’s a dry sense of humour and man must have his good fun days for you too keep on married life with him 🤣
You and the whole of the kids and not forgetting Oliver are all doing amazing with the farm and also showing us all what it’s like through highs and lows.
He's grumpy because of lambing tired and been a tough winter. When things go well he's great. Money is a weight and worry aswell so he's the boss and carries it all. We get along great and he's really genuine so that's why I said yes 🤣 just can't afford a wedding yet. Absolutely more tough than good times but like you say we're living the dream 😍😍😍
Your doing amazing both of you and all the worries you both carry are more than most could carry here’s hoping the weather picks up I’m not too far from you and have horses so I understand the state of fields etc you should open a petting farm people could pay to visit and even feed bottle lambs x
I say don’t make excuses for his disrespect and bad manners. He’s been greatly blessed and should not think that his crude behaviour is the way it is for farm men. It is not and speaks poorly for him as a man, a husband and as an example for his children.
@zinnia3684 he's an honest genuine man we all have bad days and good 👍 his bark is louder than his bite and that's why I've stuck with him for all these 16 years 😍😍🥰 I no a good Man when I see one , kids adore there dad and we are a great team 💙 ❤️
Add an Anderson connector to your "hunny" the tractor ;-) then u can leave the panels on !
Al have to Google that connector 🤣🤣
Excellent video again thanks for sharing with a lot of hard work one can make a go of it as the saying goes Oliver's bark is worse than his bits lol
Yes he's a gem really 🥰🥰 Al show his soft side one day lol
Yes she is a hunny she's a old school 8000 series valtra better than fuckin case scrap red newholland s really lol the valtra is beast Sam regards from South Ireland 🇮🇪 Mr valtra mad man were bisey bisey at minit spring planting crop won't be long till grass silage season 24 starts night n day agen then .
Loooove her 🤣🥰😍
Oliver makes a barney about everything. It's good that you chose the strongest arm wrestler. He is useful labour on the farm.
He's the driving force to our business. Can't manage without him 🤣🥰
Great video Sam as always it’s good to here how you got started on the farm interesting 👌
Thankyou 😁 hoping to make a vid on our backgrounds give people a good idea
Brilliant video again keep up th 15:04 e good work farming is a way off life
Thank-you
I think the close the gate sign is too small.
I put an Anderson connector on my tractor so I can just plug in a set of jump leads to save pissing around getting to the battery terminals.
Will Google it and see how much they are thanks!
So beautiful sceneris you have.
Yes beautiful on a nice day !
i think you've done well to build up what you've got on your farm .......up till now you've ploughed everything into the farm but as you say once things are paid for you might get to the stage where you can put away a penny or two
Hopefully but there's still a lot of outgoings to have any. Will try one day
Hi sam.great video as always.ur belgian blues are lovely weanlings.lovely shape to them.what happened the ewe that was lying on the road.i hope she got up.loving ur videos as always.greetings from Ireland.
Nope it died there and then !! So strange! Havnt a clue what happened to it yes iam proud how they have turned out
Who’s. Red pick up is that in the yard loving the videos
That's Peters it needs MOT and 4 tyres. Might have to wate untill we can afford 4 tyres 🤣🤣🤣
A ten year tenancy and having to work for the bank at the same time. I hope your hard work is seeing a profit and the tenancy is renewed.
Not sure it will be renewed! Who nos. yes it's a Shame, not enough profit to pay any tax 🤣🤣 maybe 1 day
@@Sam-shutt crossing my fingers for you to get another ten years, you are both putting so much hard work into it. One thing that helped on our small farm was that my husband went on a welding course to learn how do it well. It came in very handy. He was also not afraid to do a bit of spray painting to tidy up the equipment.
@wendyrowland7787 would be lovely but we tried for a 15 year and 20 when we signed up. So who nos. Ever changing times who nos. Yes Oliver can do a lot of things he's really good at everything. It's just he's the main stay hear and I have done courses ect so I will have to go out to work again shortly. Its a shame but its life 🤣
@@Sam-shutt so many farmers wives near me have to keep the farm going too.
@wendyrowland7787 rolls have reversed hasn't it. Not like old days. I could man the farm and Oliver could work longer hours but he's the boss x
👍
Keep building that beautiful farm guys. How was the sheep that fell down?
Thankyou we will try ! She died there and then ! I think them were her last breaths and havnt a clue why . She ran out fine. 😳😢
What happened to the sheep lyeing in the road enjoying your videos.
I havnt a clue she ran out of field fine and then all of a sudden she rolled over and started fitting. I've no idea why ! Such a shame ! Sheep for you 😭
What’s background on Oliver before you took the farm on? Did him and Peter farm? What’s peters farm at dent is that sucklers and sheep aswell?
Will do a vid on Oliver amd Peters backgrounds and how they started .farm at dent is 90 acre 2 small meadows and rest rough pasture. Oliver and Peters gran own that and they rent if of her . Will do a video specially on that
@@Sam-shutt brilliant thank you
Do u think ul buy the farm or keep in renting it after the 10 years
Would love to have the chance to buy it if he would ever sell it but not sure we would be financially well off. If we had a deposit then would be fine. But notnsure he would want to rent it for longer . Everything is unknown at the moment in the agricultural world x
Is it a rented farm how many acres off it is there
It's rented yes. On a 10 year FBT. We are 5 years in. It's 500-acre
your hubby treats you terribly he's got to snap out of it what you need to do is skip off for a few days with the kids it may make him think my partner of 14 years I treated her with upmost respect and she did me them I lost her to cancer he need to think and fast
He snapped out of it years ago kids have mellowed him. He's wonderful now. Nothing I can't handle amd I give everything back.🤣 so no need to worry thankyou tho. X
