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 s a Police Officer 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 1200 breeding ewes.
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!
Since starting The Sheep Game I have met Lizzy and had two incredible boys Jock and Angus. You will see them all on this channel!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.
The other day my kids and I took our dogs out to one of our favorite places to run the dogs. We have never seen any livestock out there before, but that day there was someone with a mob of sheep. I thought of your dog issues and we immediately went somewhere else.
Before you start the daily vlogs can I just say thank you, for all the effort you put into giving this insight into your work life and family life, Thanks Cammy ❤
My dad was a banty rooster Irishman, and a consummate practical joker. One spring I had strung a high tinsel 3 strand wire electric fence around our three pastures. This was before we had let the cattle on the new green grass. The barnyard fence was hot. I had what was called a 100 mile fence, HOT, it would burn off a thistle stem as thick as my thumb. Anyway my brother-in-law came down to help me stretch the last section and tie it into the hot line of the barn yard
He turned off the fencer and we stretched the wire, when I hooked it to the barnyard line, the shock knocked us both to the ground. I looked at him accusingly! He just held up his hands saying he turned it off, but would check it again. Coming back he said he unplugged it , and grounded the output. We stretched the wire again and were again knocked onto our keesters. This time though we caught our father slipping around the corner of the barn laughing uncontrollably! At the time it was hard to see the humor in this, but looking back 40 some years I can laugh about it.😊😂😅
😂
Love to hear stories like this, clearly it wasn't funny at the time, but thanks for sharing 😂
I mean this in a positive way, thank you for showing things that don’t go to plan. It’s my first year lambing and it’s been one problem after another. Seeing people post only the good stories doesn’t do much for the old mindset!
I'm so glad to hear that you found an editor. It was hard to watch your editing eating into your sleep time during lambing last year.
"That's how I learned as a boy" (proceeds to get a good shock!). I will never forget being an 8 year old city kid visiting my cousin's farm. I just didn't believe him when he said the fence was electric, so I reached out and grab it. You definitely learn that lesson quick!
You made me smile when you showed us your sick sheep all better now and in the pasture.
I can't wait for your daily vlogs. I'm also excited that you're not editing them so you have more time at home with Lizzie, Joch & Angus ❤️💙🩵🩵🩷
Sandi’s right - cammy’s energy is infectious, someone you want to be around
Hooray for that little black Ewe, good thing you caught her in time!
I'm looking forward to seeing the chaos of lambing, good luck Cammy!
Prayers for you and your family Cam…healthy baby, healthy lambs, and strong mothers…..and renewed strength for you all. Extra hugs and loves for the little boys!
Let the lambing begin!!! Give good wishes to Lizzy and the baby coming.
Drone footage was great. They really come in handy for checking on flocks. Hope both you and Lizzy get a bit of rest. 👍👍😊
Oh Cuz, you're looking so tired. I wish I could be there to help you. I'm so sorry I'm not. I so wish I were though. Keeping you all in my heart and prayers. Love ya! ❤
Love this video. Blessings to you all ❤❤❤ praying for a peaceful weekend for everyone on your farm. 😊😊😊
Awesome drone footage. Glad the ewe is back up on her feet.
You need to have your crook welded to you somehow as it's likely to be left behind on days when you need it.
Hi to Lizzie. Hopefully you are feeling better.
Bless your heart, Cammie. You show the good and the not so good but that’s real life. So glad to hear you hired an editor. Work smarter not harder. But when that fence bit you, I was snorting laughing. I’ve done that and it’s not pleasant. I was crying while laughing, I needed that but felt sorry for you at the same time. Hugs and blessings to you and the family as lambing season begins from southeast USA.
Gosh drone technology has become incredible. Glad the sheep is perking up. Routing her on. hugs
The difference with the editor is significant - I’m glad you’re enjoying the division of labour
Awh Cami thank you so much for the beautiful aerial view with your drone. I’m so glad the sheep is feeling better. I’ll pray that no fox or dog gets into your herd in that enclosed area. Tell Lizzie we are thinking of her as her pregnancy progresses. I’m so glad to hear that you found someone to edit your films as you have way too much to do as is. I’m so looking forward to the lambing 🐑
Great drone shots! And so the lambing begins. Thank you for caring so much for the sheep.💜🐏💜
What a great run-up to lambing - several exciting videos this week. I was going to send a quick message anyway, to say that I enjoyed the Fed By Farmers podcast with Sandy, but it reminded me of why you will always be my favorite! The reality, both joys and struggles, is so beautiful as we share your life, including Lizzy and your boys! We love seeing you deal with all aspects of farming and family life. We've all had bad days, been exhausted, had tired kids and muddy boots! That's what makes your life touch our hearts. Never edit out the reality! We're never bored; whatever you share, we're all in. Looking forward to seeing you every day during lambing. Good news that you have some help this time. 🐑💖🐑😊
Yey lambing rucksac idea was mine ❤😂 hope you do it please❤❤ I think you're gonna save so much of your man hours by having stuff packed with you
I'm so happy the sheep is better!
Looking forward to the daily video's. I hope Lizzy is doing well during her final trimester. Take great care of her too Cammie.😊😉
I was wearing overalls with metal clips, climbed through between the wires, my leg touched one making me jump then of course my back touched the upper wire, I crouched trying to get through and the metal clip on my overalls got caught on a wire... I fell through the fence and lay on the ground for a bit
Yes, it was very comical to watch 😂😆😄😃
your drone footage is adds so much to your video.
Really appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos. Discovered you a few years ago and I look forward to your lambing vlogs all year! Watch year round, but lambing is always an exciting time of year. Love to you and the family from Southern California 💖🇺🇸🏴
Good to see you taking the crook out with you this year hopefully you remember it for the rest of the year
I can tell you are feeling the stress of things. My hope is you have prepared well and your whole team pulls through well!
This Twin lamb thing where a pregnant ewe is not getting up and is a bit staggered on her feet , I believe what we in Canada 🇨🇦 ( or Sandi B.) refers to as Preg Tox . I know she has to sometimes induce the ewe if she can’t turn her around. Calcium deficiency for higher # of lambs I have observed but it can also happen to singletons. I’m no sheep farmer but a retired nurse. Incidentally, Toxemia of Pregnancy also can happen with pregnant women
I absolutely loved the drone shots and explanation from the air of the field, I'd love to see more of that. Can't wait for the lambing vlogs, as someone who works with cattle I don't envy the way you shepherds have to do things.
Love to see your daily progress with sheep and lambing…been looking forward to this! Hope Lizzy is feeling bit better….i still remember 35+ years ago chasing 2 toddler boys being heavily pregnant with #3. Your hips and back are just not the same as previous times. Hope she’s able to rest some and has a bit of help. Cammy you do look so weary….hope you’re able to get a bit of rest! Thanks for vids and especially drone of your beautiful Scotland, and I’m glad you’ve got some help editing with this. You can always take that part back when lambing season settles down. Appreciate all the work you’re doing to share this! 🙏🏻🫶🏻 from Nashville Tennessee US xx
love sheep, love your channel, and great video, so looking forward to watching lambing season, so excited for you and your sheep , will be watching your adventures of sheep farm
I will be praying for Lizzy. When is Her due date?? I think she is amazing & a sweet mom I follow you both & I'm watching from Arizona
Hello from Glendale 👋
Lizzy had the baby today. 10 pounds 12 ounces. There’s a pic on the community tab. Bonnie is her name. Born at home with no midwife! Lizzy waited too long to call the midwife and baby was born by the time the midwife got to the house. Lizzy is amazing.
Thanks again! lambing is a lot of work. I lambed in Jan very cold -2f.
Wishing you well with your sheep delivering etc. nice vlog and I enjoyed as always. Have a lovely day.
Cammy you need to have high dose of vitamin C and also take zinc, sounds like you’re going to have more sleepless nights and need to keep the bugs away! Poor Lizzy! She certainly needs her rest more so.❤️❤️❤️. Lovely seeing the sheep back up in the field again. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
And lots of Vit D!
@@kathryna5912 oh YES! Kathryn I thought I had put that in 🙄🙄🙄. Thank you
It’s so cool that the drone will follow you! Tech is amazing
Good luck with lambing and delighted to see the ewe back in her feet ❤
Wonderful video, please take care of yourself Cammie. Everybody will come a cropper if you do! Xx
I’m ready for lambing season. Great video as always Cammy. Happy your old girl came around in the end.
Great that the sheep you nurtured is up and about.. bravo. Also glad you got some help to ease your pressure and to make filming more fun for you! Thanks for sharing all that drone video... awesome. I will buckle up for spring lambing! Love from the USA!
My heart feels for you and your family as you allow us to travel with you on your journey thank you and many prayers
The one above my said it all. We all appreciate all your vlogs - the sheep, upkeep of them, and your family participation is an extra treat. Thank you. 🤗👍. Nice how you et the sheep into another field. Using the drone is really a great instrument to see so much of the fields👍. The sick girl is laying g down. Oh no. Does she have a prolapse? Like I see. Sandi deal with.?
I'm looking forward to seeing your lambing videos. Good luck.
Wishes you guys all the best for lambing …can’t wait for the fun part😂
For all of us who follow Sandy Brock in Canada, and other sheep folks like EweTube, Crowley Hill Farm,and many others, Cammie is treating Preg Tox with the calcium and glycol. Out here, Cammie has to chase a poorly ewe out in the pasture to catch and dose and monitor her progress.
It’s much harder to treat in Scotland than it is in the confinement operations. Stress really makes the disease worse and these grass fed ewes aren’t used to all the catching and handling.
Gday cammy from Brisbane Australia. Hope you Lizzie Jock and Angus had a lovely Easter. Just sitting here browsing my subscriptions and gleefully noted you’d just posted a video. Haven’t watched it all but I know it’s going to be a corker!! Love your work much love and hugs Deb
Same here …from Victoria, Australia :)
Gday Hilary. Going to curl up and watch my fave TH-camr NOW hugs to you too
G'day fellow Aussies - I too am in Victoria and love watching Cammy. Even have one of their pink hoodies that I bought ages ago!
Watching from Adelaide and enjoying the cool change we've had finally. No rain for 2 and a half months though so dry as a dead dingos dongle here. Nice to see the drech weather in Scotland.
@@classicambo9781plenty rain in England
Really looking forward to this seasons lambing, better than any Netflix 😉 thanks for the calcium info, had the same thing the other day and had to buy the cow calcium, why did they take the sheep stuff off the market?
Clammy and Lizi and boys I am in the USA in North Carolina and I am so glad I found you guys. I am so impressed with you and how manage everything and keep us with you ! And OMG Lizi is amazing, very pregnant and still farming ! She is such a great mom. I am a Certified Nurse Midwife and wish I could be there and be her midwife !You and your family keep me motivated here on my small 17 acre farm. I have 3 sheep but they are for fleece. I watch your sheep and just drool over the fleeces !! I’d love to have a Cheviot or a black face. Do you sell your fleeces ? What another great income stream for you guys ! Anyways I look forward to seeing everyone each day and I pray that all stay healthy and sound. Thank you again
Cammy announced the birth on the community page. 10 pounds 12 ounces. She gave birth at home on her own! Because of course she did!
Bless you and your family, Cammie. Love y’all ❤❤❤
Great video Cammy looking forward to all the lambing videos good luck ☘️👌
I was feeding one of our horses a handful of long grass and we both got shocked. I saw it arc about a foot, that's how far I was from it. I had a red line from my hand al the way down to my foot. Congratulations, you completed a circuit! Man that hurt! The horse wouldn't come by me for about a week. It was a 'weed chopper' fence. They don't use them anymore, because they were causing fires. This was in the 1970's that I got the shock. I don't know when they pulled them off the market.
Glad your ewe is back up! And - nothing like a zap from the hotwire! I can feel that in my hand just thinking about it. Hope lambing starts off well and stays that way all through.
Great to hear you have help with editing! Wishing you the best with all your fluffy girls! And wishing the best for Lizzy! When I had hip pain during my pregnancies, a heavy duty support belt around my hips helped so much. It might help her if the pain gets to be too much.
Might be a good idea for Cammy's hernia as well? In all seriousness, my hubby had one and every time it popped out he would start being sick but could manage until he got it fixed.
hey Cammy, lov the content looking forward to your lambing season. i see there's a lot of farmer protests happening all over the U.K and Europe and was wondering your views on the issue. all the best , Monty
He’s addressed the topic on a few Fed By Farmers podcasts. Check them out. 👍
Love your videos keep up the wonderful job
We are having same problem with gates being left open, cows getting out and people trespassing on our properties in US. Now padlocking gates to keep ATV's and rabblerousers out.
Great video! I know you’re concerned that they’re not exciting but it is very interesting to see what caring for sheep on regular days is like. Keep up the great work! ❤
Good luck with the lambing, looking forward to the vlogs!
Another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation documentary countryside content video and as always beautiful sharing camera work and you doing such an amazing job .. appreciate most of your beautiful sharing adventure and I'm looking forward to more adventures from your video channel .. take care and stay safe .. thanks again Cammy
Great videos . Looking forward to lambing. I have huge admiration for your work ethic. Every success
Thanks for sharing, this is really helpful to watch and learn as a first time shepherdess myself going into lambing soon :) Hi from Alberta, Canada!
i love your channel! i’m so happy the sheep is ok you’re an amazing soul for saving that sheep!
Haha spot watch that fence and spot looks at the fence 3 times!😅😅
Honestly, Cammy, I don't know how you or any farmer/shepherd does it! Such an outlay of money for new stock, for products to feed or doctor your sheep, rent for land, plus all the stuff that you need to buy for your children, and all you have coming in is the sale of lambs? It reminds me of the joke about the farmer who won $1million in the lottery, and they asked him what he was going to do now, and he replied, "I guess I'll just keep farming until the money runs out." God bless you & your little family!
Do you subscribe to the Fed by Farmers podcast? In one of the Q&As Cammy addresses money. Last year he made £50,000 from TH-cam. He also does sheering every summer and does pregnancy scanning. He does these jobs for other farmers. He also makes money from selling merchandise which he seems to sell quite a bit of judging by his new trailer he uses at farming shows. It’s a really impressive bit of kit. Cammy works really hard and seems to find a way to make money any way he can. I feel for the farmers who are trying to make it by farming alone. That must be really difficult.
I touched a wire for highland cattle once, felt like I got defibrillated.. didn't even feel it on my arm where I touched it, was all in my chest. Definitely a thrilling adventure
You are doing your best to help the sheep that are a little weaker.
Keep doing what you do and never’beat yourself up
You must take care of yourself as well as your animals
🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️👍 👍
Well done sorting out that ewe! Great job 👏
What a brilliant product, need this in Australia
Nice to see she's Up and about.
On the fencing, your a proper farmer when you get a few nips off it 😂😂.
Great Stuff Cammy, Good Luck with Lambing >
Love the video. The drone you have is wonderful. I want some of that hot wire to keep the dang loose dogs out of my town yard! Sorry you got cooked by that wire - that is a body trauma for sure! Where I used to volunteer, we had it for elk. If you hit it, it would stop your heart. The joke was that the people you were with had to pick you up and throw you back into it to start your heart back up again.
Good on you getting someone to edit 😊❤
Great video! So happy to see mama back on her feet and reunited with her friends.
Hope the lambing goes really well for you
Feel your pain with the fencer Dad used to check the charge by grabbing us Still afraid 😱 40 years later of getting a shock😂😂
The madness is about to begin 😂. All the best with lambing
Cheviots and Shetlands, the ultimate fence testers.
Still have your head on after bringing some other girls home yesterday 😂😂
Can I just tell you how excited I got when hearing almost 6 weeks of a video everyday??
SUPER STOCKED
Glad to see the sick ewe up and about looking good.👍
The black old girl, despite being good in tooth and udder, being old, has denser bones less capable of releasing calcium back into the blood stream to meet the demands of the growing lamb. The calcium worked really well orally so you have to ask, why were we making them into serious pin cushions. I think calling propylene glycol sugary is a bit confusing, because as you know, sugar given to a sick ewe ferments in the rumen making her more sick. You may laugh, hut I found cow colostrum fed to any metabolically stressed ewe be it twin lamb or milk fever in addition to treatmet, 60mls 4 hourly, made a tremendous difference. Sometimes some of the old ways are worth a try. If you think about it, all the energy and nutrition to keep her going is there.
Well done Cammy! 👍🐨
Oh gosh Cammy I laugh so hard when you touch the electric fence. I have done it so many times lol 😂
Can’t you put signs up around lambing time to ask people to keep their dogs on leashes? If I saw that I would definitely keep my dog on the leash
You're one of the few. Never ceases to amaze me that people don't think directions apply to them, just everyone else.
Great video as always x
Thank you for the time and effort you put in to share your lovely life with us!❤❤❤
hi well i bet that was shocking as the grate man from Edinburgh said hope you all ok see you in the nx one good luck stay safe shocking still laughing ha ha
Enjoyed the video ✔️
Dexamethosone is often given for preg tox induction. You may also need to treat hypoglycemia in addition to hypocalcemia.
Hi Cammy! Sorry the Calcium doesn’t work fast enough. Maybe she needs one of Marisa’s RedBulls?😂❤
Felt that one ⚡️
Thank you cammy & I know I shouldn’t laugh but you shocking yourself made me laugh 🤭 😊❤
What's the vet protocol for twin lamb here cammi? How often do they need glycol?
Yay video every day love it
Well done.
Great drone work
❤❤❤❤ Loved the video
