Cammy I love hearing what types of sheep your shearing! I’m a spinning it’s great to see the sheep the different wool come from, one of my favorites is BFL 🥰
Thanks for another great video. Best of luck with shearing the ten thousand. It's nice to see the sheep ye shearing as well. Ye big fans of the mules there. Ally of them bred in our area and sold at special sales for big money.
I should have added that I have watched the videos several times very entertaining and well done looking forward to more and would like to know more detail on the kit used please
Grate vid as always that first farm was massive. The sheering season has finly began up here so i will at least have somthing to do. Also love the rambling rover song
Great videos. I seen in previous videos some Jacob ewes and lambs. Are they yours? I've got a small flock that run with my NCC. Every year I struggle to decide how best to make some money with them. Any ideas??
Hi Liam, i have a handful yes. Jacobs never going to make u a fortune but if ur lambing early enough u could maybe get them away before trade drops around mid June. 👍
interested in what they are, how good the wool is, what it is used for, how big they get, if they are raised or meat or wool, how they herd, good mothering ability, how many lambs they have on average, can they breed out of the normal fall season.... there is lots you can tell us about them and why you have them or wouldn't have them.
Sometime, when you're not sheering, could you explain what breeds you have on your farm and why you use those breeds? What other breeds are used in your area?
Similar sort of ratio to the 8-hour shearing records of 644 crossbreeds vs 497 merinos. I've only done a few merinos, and they took me 2-3 times as long. We're spoiled by the easy things up here.
Any advice for a young shearer (14) starting off just help shear my familys flock of ewes but would like to do it competitively and contracted in the future
@@TheSheepGame while I am at it, I cant see where you've done it already and I know you were keen on new content. I'd be interested to see what you guys vaccinate and treat your sheep with every year for health etc.
Hi Lisa. The moccasins have a few benefits. They don’t get slippy like hard rubber, they give u grip all the way round ur foot so if u turn ur foot on it’s side u still have a grip. They keep your ankle free so u can roll your foot easily. They are also a very thin sole so you are closer to the sheep and don’t have to stretch as much.
That would be one of the reasons but also due to what we call fly strike, where a fly will lay eggs in the fleece, once these hatch they will begin to eat away at the flesh of the sheep, which could at worst case cause death.
So,you just shear sheep in the spring time, just once a year? I have no idea how fast their wool grows back,,i am in the USA,, Hoggs,first time being sheared Re Google
Yeah mate don’t do the sped up stuff, just show normal time and not so many if you like, show some of the banter among the boys etc, but good luck with the 10k
That's some set up, plenty helpers but should mention the price of wool is rubbish, hardly worth the bother, the general public should know this, no fortune in wool.
I spoke with head man at BWMB this week. Wool price is uncertain just now due to markets closing for covid but the wool will still have a value and it’s still worth taking it in.
I don't know how many Americans are watching, but you might like to tell them what you mean by hoggs, mules, etc. Those are foreign terms for most Americans.
Think I’ll watch this one a couple times. Love the music.
Thanks Paul!
Great video as usual with good humour. Good chat about the breed and type of ewes and farm size. Keep them coming
Thanks George! All about the banter!😁

@@TheSheepGame aye its a grate tune
Shore merino sheep for 25 years in Australia, would have loved to get amongst that lot
How wet do you shear them
I did maybe a thousand this entire _year._ You're a madman, and I'm jealous as hell.
1,000 is still bloody good! Well done!
Good job buddy
your fan from Afganistan
wish you the best
Legend thanks!

Great video, first time seeing your videos! Good luck with your 10k challenge! What is the song you used in your video?
Rambling Rover - Siobhan Miller. Watch the bbc youtube version. She’s amazing!
I know this is an older video but yes... I’d love to hear all about the breeds.
Hello from BC Canada. It is awesome to know the breed you are shearing
Thanks Simone. I’ll start explaining more about that when i do the videos!
Great vid keep them coming but Suffolks surely not 👍
Ha some man John!

Lots for me to think about there George and some good ideas for extra information! Thanks!
Sometime, when you're not sheering, could you explain what breeds you have on your farm and why you use those breeds? What other breeds are used in your area?
I will do Linda. There will be lots about the sheep after lambing time as i will be buying and selling ewes from August! 😁
Is interesting what average numbers are in different countries. Average over in Australia is somewhere between 160 and 220 is going pretty good.
Similar sort of ratio to the 8-hour shearing records of 644 crossbreeds vs 497 merinos. I've only done a few merinos, and they took me 2-3 times as long. We're spoiled by the easy things up here.
Any advice for a young shearer (14) starting off just help shear my familys flock of ewes but would like to do it competitively and contracted in the future
Keep working away with the small numbers then look for a course aged 16. It’s very hard on the body and at your age u don’t want to over do it!
@@TheSheepGame Thanks
Great video, enjoy watching the shearing, hope you smash your target. What is that song called?
Ramblin Rover - Silly Wizard (original)
That was Siobhan Miller in that version
@@TheSheepGame Thank you, really love it.
How can I get a job in Scotland in that kind of profession. I'm in Texas now and US Native.
There are shearing jobs in the US to get u started. It’s s tough job to get into.
I see you drink Fosters... The backwash of Australia. I can say that because I live here, I don't think I've ever seen an Aussie drink it though.
I’ll drink anything they give me Shaun😂😂
The Sheep Game 😂😂😂😂😂

I have to ask about the footwear whiling shearing. Why moccasins?
Hi Lisa. The moccasins have a few benefits. They don’t get slippy like hard rubber, they give u grip all the way round ur foot so if u turn ur foot on it’s side u still have a grip. They keep your ankle free so u can roll your foot easily. They are also a very thin sole so you are closer to the sheep and don’t have to stretch as much.
Do you sheer sheep because of warm weather?
That would be one of the reasons but also due to what we call fly strike, where a fly will lay eggs in the fleece, once these hatch they will begin to eat away at the flesh of the sheep, which could at worst case cause death.
Nice song tell me about the song ya used for making the video.
Hi Herbert. It’s Ramblin Rover by Siobhan Miller
How do you prepare for shearing season.
I crutch lambs all winter at local livestock markets. I also hammer the gym in winter too.
Please define for me what is a mule a hog and MOT ? Thanks 🇨🇦
Hi Barb,
Mule is a breed made by = Blue Face Leicester Father + Blackface Mother
Hogg = 1 year old sheep
Not sure what an MOT is?
Who was the girl singing about old farmers never been kissed and what song is it please
Ramblin Rover - Siobhan Miller
I love the song and the video 🎉
Interesting
Always interested Cammy! Keep up the good videos mate, you are making me consider investing in some land in Scotland xD
Mind the winters are long and wet😁
Superz 👍
Thanks Colette!
bıg end good work
So,you just shear sheep in the spring time, just once a year? I have no idea how fast their wool grows back,,i am in the USA,, Hoggs,first time being sheared Re Google
Once a year yes.
@@user-zu2bw7ig5v thank you

Cheers Chris aye it’s better quality I agree!

Qu'ils fasse cela plus gentiment merci pour eux
New tongue twister..... Scottish shearing shepherd, shears sheep slowly.
Say it quickly 3 times lol. x
How much do you charge per ewe for shearing
How many ewes have u got?😁
That's some set up, plenty helpers but should mention the price of wool is rubbish, hardly worth the bother, the general public should know this, no fortune in wool.

Ridge is as good as a shelter belt Archie
Helps the rain run off
i got carryed away with the music. granny90
I don't know how many Americans are watching, but you might like to tell them what you mean by hoggs, mules, etc. Those are foreign terms for most Americans.
Ok Cornel i’ll start explaining myself better. Thanks for the feedback! 👍
