ABOUT ME
I’m 31 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 600 breeding ewes.
I shore over 15,000 sheep this season in UK and I also travel to Norway for shearing in March and September. (Covid messed it up this year)
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.
That’s the real stuff that we do in the sheep game. No need for fancy editing and perfect conditions. Much rather see real life. Well done Cammy. Best of luck 147 or so days from now!
Thank you!! I think I overdo the editing sometimes and just tire myself out with it!
#truth
Wildwind you are so right. I’d rather see exactly what we just saw. It’s real and that’s what all of us want is real.
@@TheSheepGame hi cammy, what is the brand of your coat?
@@colinmcgrath4286 Ridgeline 👍
Don’t apologise, that was brilliant, it made me laugh out loud. The Police training obviously came in handy apprehending those rams 😆. Big Jock is a hero and little Jock is adorable. 🥰
Thanks Janette!! The bad guys never got away =D
@@TheSheepGame didn’t doubt it for a minute 👍🏻😁
I bet you're very popular for the foot chases! Great vlog, dont apologize so much. Life happens.
If you hadn't already been an athlete, your job wouldn't go nearly as well as it does.
"Audio isn't up to my normal standard" I'm confused Cam, your Scottish accent hasn't changed 😁
hahaha actually burst out laughing there!! So true! If anything it was stronger in this one!
@@TheSheepGame and that's a large part of why we adore watching you! A wee taste of around the world!
We always adore what you show us!😁😆😆💖👏👏👏just some days we laugh a little more than others.😁😅😅👏👏😁💗
One thing about sheep you've always got a handhold if you get near enough..
Archie, you need to get yourself a couple of good ponies(mm, forgot how tall you are.. )..or horses!
A couple of nicely broken(to ride, not just *pull wagons*) Clydesdales would work well (given your height), but you might need to either get some emergency ladders(the kind that roll up and you throw out your window when needed, reverse when finished) or...a portable stepladder to hook on the saddle...and learn how to be a cowboy with lasso...and, given you're working with sheep, not cattle, maybe a strong (fish?)net as well; lasso them from farther away, grab them with the net when you're close enough to examine them. Or climb down the mountain...and back up again when you're done checking your sheep...😁🤣🤣💗🤗🤗
This is the most accurate depiction of farming that I’ve ever seen. Lots of running after livestock in the rain…ALWAYS IN THE RAIN.
Please don't apologize! We love sharing your day whatever way it goes. Watching you and Big Jock chasing down those crazy teasers in the rain was a true testing of your dedication. Then the extra treat of seeing you with wee Jock and Lizzy was the perfect ending. Don't worry about us so much. We're all thrilled to be along for the ride ☺️☺️.
Thanks for taking us along on your day it was a lot of fun to watch and it was a great video no need for apologies. Lizzie is looking well and wee Jock is growing so fast. Merch suggestion, a tshirt with Meg and “lie doon” on it, bet it would be a good seller haha!
Haha that could be one to look into for 2022! Maybe a Lie Doon pyjama range!
@@TheSheepGame sold! I’m all in for pyjamas!
You kept saying it wasn't a great video but I loved it! Great choice of background music, btw. Each piece had the perfect accompaniment from the circus, to chase, to rams in the 'bedroom' Congrats on hitting 40k subs!! Well done, Cammy!
Thanks Julie!!
Quit apologizing, it was a riot !!!
Haha thanks James!
No need to apologize Cammy! You work in all sorts of weather conditions. Making vlogs in the wind and rain is just another look into the job, just on a different day! I am glad you filmed this one. I love watching your life on TH-cam. Wee Jock will have a video of his parents and his early years... which is very precious!
So true. These vlogs will be like a wee diary of his life growing up. I'm so excited about it!
Please stop apologising for the amazing weather we have here 😖😖😂😂. I enjoyed the raw real footage!! Keep up the good work and little Jock looks super cute 🥰
Thanks Carol!
Great video mate shows the real day of a sheep farmer 🇬🇧
Thanks!!
I absolutely loved this video!! Its the reality of what of what you do on a daily basis and this is honestly why I love your channel. No frills, no fuss just bloody good content!! So thank you!
The countryside is so beautiful! I enjoyed watching the real life sheep rodeo. The video was great. The little Jock looks like his Dad. His serious expression and big eyes are adorable. Thank for sharing.
Thanks Donna!! I’ll get a lasso for next year’ 😂
This is a perfectly good video. It's real life.
I'm impressed with the way you boys were running around out there. One way to keep fit.👍
Yeah I slept well that night lol
random question but you didn't send me a transfer of the Coyote from Road runner per chance? I got one in the mail with no note!
@@TheSheepGame 'Twas not I.
(Though I see why you might think so.)😉
I feel for you chasing sheep in wellies and waterproofs, like running in soup.
But that's the joys of sheep farming.
Aye, they big heavy Hoggs ones on too... that's how Jock outpaced me on the last teaser... =-D
@@TheSheepGame then there's the final grip off death trying and praying they don't slip away.
Actually, it's a great video! Can't believe all that running after the sheep. What do you do when you get older? Can't imagine you'll still be chasing after them like that.
That's what wee Jock is for lol
@@TheSheepGame I think the Head Momma Shepardess is going to make the Supreme Ruling on when wee Jock is in the fields. Women rule
I LOVE the way sheep both ewes and tups stamp a foot when they're annoyed, I'd need to be knocked over before I stopped thinking 'aww, isn't that cute' 😅
Oh Cammy, it was lovely to see baby Jock and Lizzy. Jock is a lot like Lizzy. Great video, typical rain when you are trying to do a bit of moving stock around. Keep up the great videos. Hope all rams do the business for you 😉
Thanks Rita! I hope so too!
Hey Chammy, thanks, excellent vlog, that is all real, let's all know that we still have to work in the rain!!!! Great to see wee Jock and Lizzie. Take care.
Thanks Christine!!
The rams looking good, young Jock is growing well
Thanks Ann!
Cam wins the race!! Nice to see Lizzy and Jock. Love the vid. Cam pure action.
Thank you!! a good workout was had by all lol
This was the best video ever! I enjoyed the musical sheep game. Jock is grow up quickly. He will be helping soon. Best wishes for the breeding season.
Thanks Ramona!! All good fun.
Awesome as always. Don’t stress over the small stuff. We love your videos and always will.
Don't overthink it just do you thats what we like 💯
Don't apologize for daily work. It keeps it real! Love the footage of Lizzy and Jock!
Thanks Tam!!
Nice to see them out in their wellies giving the sheeps a good ramming!!! 😂👍
😅
Don't put yourself (your vlog) down. It's real. It's what you do. I found it interesting to watch. The on screen descriptions were extremely helpful. Look forward to the next episode.
Oh and love ❤ Wee Jock 😍
Thanks!!
I am tired and cold just watching you and big Jock . 🥶🥱😴
Little Jock is adorable. 💖
Don't apologize! Great, real-life video. What a day! Thank you, from Winchester Indiana, USA.
I never realized how much running was involved in farming sheep 😂😊❤
My goodness you 2 boys are fit i would expire after the first mission lol there's another reason why I don't have teasers . Wee Jock sure is a bonny lad good luck with the breeding season and take care👍
Aye it’s a major downside to it Paul, having to gather them in😅
The chest cam is the best! Action time with chipper music and hands flying. Like the water effect from the rain. An authentic scottish filter.
I'd watch your videos in any weather.....so entertaining Cammie boy
Cheers Pete!
Aww it was lovely to see little jock he’s growing so fast bless him and well done to big jock & your self chasing those sheep shame we couldn’t have had aerial shot too it looked really funny next year you could hold the sheep games “games” who can catch the sheep the quickest, best shearer, best dog etc it would be fun
What would The Sheep Game be without the weather? We are here for all of it. On the other hand it looked like absolutely miserable weather. Keep all of the videos coming, we love them all. The baby is growing fast and is so adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Rain, snow or shine…. I’m lovin it all the way.
Omg, where has this channel been all my TH-cam life?! I’m just loving this!! Need to go and binge watch all previous vlogs!
Wondering would you ever actually use a Dorset as Ram instead of teaser?! They look beasts! 🤔😊
Hi Maddy!! I think I would! Actually felt guilty using these boys as teasers as they were such good strong rams!
Loved the video. Actually enjoyed the views through the rain drops. Chase scenes were hilarious and you seemed to tell a few boys to "lie doon". I too vote for lie doon merch.
Haha thank you!! I'll need to do something for next year I think!
@@TheSheepGame I wanted a couple of your merch items now but they're sold out. 😕 Maybe they will be restocked as well in the new year
I’m watching from Australia , I enjoy all you videos , well done .🐑🐑🐑
Thank you for explaining why the teaser ram can't breed the ewes. I wondered if they were castrated males ( which would down their testosterone ), but vasectomized makes so much more sense!
Adorable baby that Little Jacque!!!! Great video Cammy!!!! Hello Lizzy!!! Y'all stay safe!!! Best wishes from Kentucky, USA!!!!
This is your best video I have seen. This is the real life of sheep farming. Love it.
This was fantastically entertaining! Great job on all fronts 😁
Awe Lizzy your looking fabulous n baby Jock is growing so fast .
Don't be sorry! We love whatever you show!
Great video. Its great you show real life & not always beautiful weather to get things done. Great looking rams you have. I hope they get the job done. Great to see Lizzy & Jock. He is so cute.
The wee one is growing up so fast. He is gorgeous.
Well, you said it wasn't a good video. But I said "Are you kidding me?! It was HILARIOUS 😂!" You trying to catch that last ram had me laughing so hard my husband came over to investigate! Some rain. Some wind. Greengrass and great looking rams. I LOVED it!
Great to see Lizzie and Jock. Xx
We are mixed farmers in Central West NSW, Australia running Merino/Merino - we love watching how it’s done in Scotland - watching you get dragged around by a teaser my son asked ‘why doesn’t he get them to the yards and draft them off??’ I had to explain that the mob sizes over there are vastly different to the mob sizes here - ours are a minimum 400 per mob. We put the rams in 2 weeks ago - will pull them out in 4 weeks time, then scanning in Feb & we’ll be drafting every mob! Love your work Cam!!
It was alot of fun , the chest cam got your shadow really nice . Alot of wrangling .
He's a cutie .
Thanks for the fun video .
Great video Cammy and also some good tups
Thanks Ewan!
Please don’t apologize. It’s fun to see it all just as it is. We appreciate the vlogs. Wee Jock is a chunky lovely boy! He looks like his mama. Take care.
Thank you! He definitely looks like his mum!
Hello from Ontario Canada, best part of this video you running 🐑 Love your video weather and all.
Yep real life rocks. I’m in a wheelchair so love seeing you young guns chase round 👍❤
Thats one thing I don't miss about the auld country, the wind and the rain (and the sleet, the snow (maybe no so much the snow) and the hailstones). 😂👍💪🐑🐏
And that's just the Monday lol
@@TheSheepGame 🤣
Don’t worry about the quality of the video Cammy, I just felt sorry for you guys out in cold wind and rain, I am impressed that you even tried under those conditions. You must have legs like an Ethiopian runner the way you chased those sheep down, did you pretend they were perpetrators? Wee Jock is adorable and doing so well, nice to see Lizzie and baby! 💕🇨🇦
The video is great !! I am tired just watching all the chasing and catching you’re doing.
Lizzie and Jock are the sunshine of the day. ☀️
Oh!!Cammy your to funny. Love your rough n ready videos, always makes me smile 😃
This was not a terrible blog, I really enjoyed it. Nice to see what you have to do in really life with all the sheep in sun or rain caring for live stock goes on. Those rams have a lot of work to do. Keep up the great hard work.🇨🇦
Another great video shepherding certainly keeps you guys fit, Nice to see Lizzie and wee Jock he is really beautiful very like his Mum.
Loved this video!!! The rainy day running from the chest camera was fun.
Something a bit different Laurie! Thanks!
Great vid! Glad to see the real day, the weather, lots of nice rams headed to work. Thanks from NorCal!
Awwwh wee Jock is fairly coming on 🥰 good video
Thanks Jane 😁
I really enjoyed watching you chase that last group of rams they put you to work😁
It has HONESTLY BEEN MY FAVORITE VIDEO MINUS YOUR APOLOGIES.....YOU ARE HUMAN!!
AS LONG AS YOUR HEART AND INTENTIONS ARE PURE THERE ARE NO APOLOGIES 🙏🏻💖🕊️✊🏻🥳🎉
YOU HAVE A VERY HANDS-ON PHYSICAL JOB. TAKING AWAY ONE HAND AND HAVING TO KEEP A LENS IN FRAME WHILE EXPLAINING THE INTRICATE DETAILS OF YOUR JOB DAY TODAY IS PROOF ENOUGH AND HONOR ENOUGH ENJOY ENOUGH FOR US TO WATCH AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT YOU ALLOW US TO BE A PART OF YOUR WORLD THAT WE WOULD OTHER OTHERWISE HAVE NEVER ANY KNOWLEDGE OF WHATSOEVER OUTSIDE OF THE LIMITED READING RESOURCES.
SO I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR WELCOMING ME TO SCOTLAND AND SHEEP FARMING AND 😉GAMING!!😊💜😇🎉🎊🌍🌎🌏
Perfect music for this activity!
haha yeah a Circus! Thanks Peggy!
Brilliant video Cammy. Loved seeing your wee Jock and Lizzie at the end too. Xx
Thanks Jill!
I really enjoyed this video, despite the wind and rain. Good to see Lizzy and young Jock.
Thanks Steph
The video was fine sound good it’s fun watching you and Jock out in the teeming rain. The grass is really green good for the sheep.
Your video and audio for that is perfectly fine. Days like that happen even where I am you're going to have wind. You're going to have rain and that's just the reality of it and you've got one tough job to do catching all those sheep. Whether it's a video with good audio and good video or one that's got rain in it or whatever. I like watching your sheep videos. Keep it up. They're very interesting.
No need for exercise when chasing the rams. I enjoyed the video. It is nice to see things the way life really is. And of course baby Jock is amazing. ❤️❤️
That was the real deal. Crazy weather and all. (Wee Jock is adorable)
I think Jocks first words are going to be “lye doon” lol. Loved this vlog!
Really enjoyed this video despite you thinking it’s not your best. Cheered me up as full of cold! Jock is adorable 🥰
I love them boys they are so beautiful. Oh gosh little fern is so big and leading the pack it looked like! initial rounding :) Hello wee Jock! Always love seeing you.
Not every day is perfect weather-wise. This is a great video! Thanks for sharing! I really liked this one.
It's a great video, Cameron, don't worry. I enjoyed it thoroughly, never minded the weather. I was hoping for another belly mud slide like last year, but I guess that is why you had the belly cam... to let your friend have that honour haha. The chase with the belly cam was awesome.
Thank you!! I think i'll go chest cam and Jock can go head cam next year! =D
@@TheSheepGame I am so going to stick around for that one, Cammie!
Boy was it cold and rainy! You both did well. Thank you for getting your vaccinations. 💐
I would love it if you would do a video on the animal calls for the sheep and dogs. I hear so much but I know there is a lot more going on than I can see. Thank you for your channel and thank you for sharing your life with us! Lizzy and Jock look wonderful!
This was great! No wonder you guys are such great shape!! But the rolling green farm land absolutely beautiful 😍
You are hard working and it is not always a FAIR WEATHER JOB!!
Hats of to you boys ...Love the Pastel Paint on the mated Ewes, Easter Colors.Thanks for taking us along and Hi to Missy and Little Jock. 🤗
Thank you so much 😀
Now that was the best vlog 🤣😂🤣😂 . glad you boys got your exercise in.🤣😂😂
Great dog work!! I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings by the hysterical LOL thru the whole thing!
Haha that's the angle I was going for =D
What a hoot!!!...what do you mean it was an awful vlog...it was GREAT...it was the real stuff...🤣...and Lizzy and wee Jock...he's not so wee now growing into a lovely lad...Love to all from Perthshire 😁
Glad you enjoyed watching!
Great video, Cammy. What a rodeo! Sure could use some of that rain here in Los Angeles County. It’s been very dry the last couple of years. Little Jock is adorable. Enjoy these early years with him, they grow up so fast. My first born (daughter) will be 60 in January.
Best video I have watched. Must admit I laughed more than once, great job getting them all moved. Rounded of by an appearance of the main man Jock he’s growing so quickly. Keep the videos coming loved it 🐏🐑
REAL is why I show up!!! Thanks for sharing that with us that Cammy!
Rain?? Born and raised in Seattle..... the rainiest spot in the US😉.... If you work outside?? The work would never gets done if you wait for it to stop raining😂
You surely don't need to go to a gym! You get enough exercise chasing rams! Little Jock is adorable!
HAHAHAHA I love it!!! The last chase! Great job
Now when a true Scot complains about the rain and windy weather, you just know how bad it is outside. Lol. I thought I spotted some of your new rams in those shots, good luck with them. Little Jock must be a real Scot since he didn’t seem to mind being out in the weather one bit. Too bad he hasn’t inherited his dads hair yet. Lol. Great video Cammy. 👍👍🐑🐑🐑🐑
When your farmer even in the wet days you have to get out go farming that's love of the game keep up the good work 👏 👍🏼
Cheers Michael. It's so date specific this job especially with teasers that there is no way to avoid it lol
Good job by you 👍🏼
Love it! Wow can’t imagine chasing those teasers! You probably felt like they were teasing you! 😂😂❤️🐑
I lost 10 pounds just by watching this! Thanks for the virtual exercise session!
Haha cheers Craig!
Great work Cammy !!👍👍 This is a great video for me, I watched it 3 times right away !! Just work with the sheep🐑🐑🐑🔝🔝🔝🔝💪💪💪
That was real sheep farming. Man power not Quads etc. Good stuff Cammy don't worry about the weather we can't control it. The family is doing well. You'll sleep well this evening.
Thanks Robert!
This was a fantastic video! Brought back a lot of memories, my son was my sheep and goat wrangler.
Oh my gawd this is so great! Cammy I wasn’t laughing at you just with you…..🤣. You’re keeping it real like always, thank you.
haha plenty of fun had despite the weather!
Great job. I really enjoy watching your channel. It’s real!
You seem disappointed in the video quality during the making. I really enjoyed it; don't be so hard on yourself. We can't control the weather and we have to get jobs done. Looking fwd to the next one.
Thanks Melinda! I almost didn’t bother using it but so glad I did now. Such an important day in the farming calendar.
