  • Lairg Auction mart has legendary status here in the UK and abroad for being the venue of the biggest single day sale of sheep in Europe. This is not that sale, but it's still a big one. The great annual sale of gimmers and aged ewes, and I hope to buy some aged ewes to take home to Ayrshire. Will I succeed? Let's find out!

    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.

    Joyce’s sheep certainly shone. I get the impression you want to end up with a good cheviot flock. Setting up with older, cheaper sheep is a good way to get going. The aerial shots look like magic as it’s hard to pick out the drovers. Shouldn’t say it but they look like well trained maggots. Waiting to see how life will change when Jock grows legs.

    I remember when most of these pens would be full.... a sign of the times I guess.
    Best part of your video..... when you showed the stands .... saw my MUM... thank you.

    Love these videos! I live in Oregon in the USA. I fell in love with Soay sheep and have a small flock of RBST sheep and a small flick of American/British soay. I envy you the fact that you can actually herd your sheep. Trying to herd Soay is like herding cats in a hurricane. Over here, these sheep are valued as a non chemical way to control weeds in horse fields and to clear brush for under trees. The fact that they will charge and attack coyotes is a real plus. Keep making the great videos!

    Cammy, I have not seen so many different shaped sheep. I just thought a very few differences but no! I find myself looking all over the word and seeing how diverse sheep really are. Just amazing. Thank you Cammy for showing me. Here in central Pennsylvania sheep are not as prevalent. It is so true though that Pennsylvania does remind us of Scotland. Your pictures are amazing! Thank you so much for your vlogs and kindness to show us. Look at all the blessings your hard work has done so far. Small Jock is your most wonderful blessing of all. 😉

    I have only just started watching you, well I should say since the time you were on @The Hoof GP. I now cannot stop watching your channel . When I was in my teens I used to live on a farm in Wales Gwent. We had dairy cows with 2 Herefordshire Bulls, and about 30 Ewes and 1 Ram. I used to get up at 5am and milk the cows with my dad and then go and feed the rest of the animals. uniform on, breakfast eaten bus caught school. Then home change and do chores hen help milk cows again. But my best time living on a farm was lambing season. I just love watching as it brings back memories of my childhood .Your little man is so cute I wanted to take him in my arms and cuddle , such a content little boy Congratulations to you both. Happy times and memories are the best ,I am now 51 and disabled would love to still do this but cannot , so watching You Tube is a must for me. 🤩Thank you for showing your life as well as Graham's and I will keep watching love to you all

Great great video, Cameron! Hugs for Jock and Lizzie.

Jock is going to make quite the sheep farmer because he will literally be immersed in it since he was born.

  • @suzisaintjames
    @suzisaintjames 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like everyone else I loved the drone shots, but I'd like to see a bit more of your country side as well. I live in the very sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵 desert (31/11c today) where most of the year our landscape is very brown and dry. And since I live in a big city, even the neighborhood roads are 4 lanes. Two generous lanes for driving and 2 generous lanes for parking. So seeing your lush green and your barely 2 lane roads is a real treat. So you might think filming the scenery as you drive by might be boring, but for us city dwellers, watching the green fly by the car window is just what we need to relax after a very stress filled day. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷

      @@TheSheepGame, I'm thinking that's why the hoof gp adds drone footage to and from the farms to his videos. So we can see his lovely countryside. But it also makes the video a bit longer and tells the story that we're off to the next farm.... Or if the lighting is getting dim, that we are on our way back to the garage for the night. 💖🌞🌵😷

    What a beautiful landscape. I can’t believe how many sheep they got into the sale ring at one time…. They just kept coming and coming and coming! 😂 Seems like you got some great prices to fill out your flock for the winter 👍🏻

    The drone shot really showed the scale of the sale.
    Wow.

    I love watching all your videos, and am enjoying the sale barns. Never seen so many sheep in one place like that, nice drone shots, definitely gives a whole new perspective of sheep flocks. Definitely got some nice looking sheep there .... I wonder what wee Jock is dreaming about listening to all those sheep baaing and the auctioneers sing song voice in the background....His inheritance is building up nicely 🙂❤

    I totally love your videos.
    I have a suggestion. Maybe you can invite Sandi Brock over. I am sure that she would be thrilled. I think that she would benefit from your skill of skinning and dead lamb and putting it's coat on to an orphan or multiple to get it a new mum

    Really well done video! LOVE the drone shots, as they show not only the scale of the operation, but watching groups of sheep being moved from one place to another was lovely! So nice to see both Lizzie and your wee one - Jock has more hair on his little head now than my son did at a year old. Will these two groups be put together for their quarantine, or will they be separated? Joyce’s Cheviots were in fantastic condition and lovely to see, even if they were out of your price range. And the shepherd’s hut was a lovely place to spend the night! I can’t help but wonder if Jock was the first infant to sleep in that particular place.😊🐑👍👍👍

    Little late to the comments game but just had to say how much I enjoyed this one... balance was spot on fella.... The drone work was just immense but the laughs and tunes wrapped it all up.

    Great video, as always. Good seeing everyone is well and to see another sale. You do a great job of mixing in different content.

    Love the videos! Could you do a video on the breeds you keep, why you chose the breeds in particular / why you make the cross breeds you do. Drone footage use is brilliant!

    I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and I sincerely appreciate it. I feel a lot of peace and love through your videos. Sheep are fascinating animals because I think gathering such a large population of cattle herding onto a checkerboard shape that would be challenging.
