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.
Letting kids figure out how to do things by doing dangerous things safely gives them confidence and reasoning skills. I love that you take them with to experience all of your life.
There are people who never let their kids do anything, and then there are also people who let them fail without any guidance all the time, and neither achieves half as much as what these two are doing
I completely agree with your parenting style. It's lovely to see the kids running around the farm
Well done Angus on taking those precious first steps.
Absolutely! That was wonderful!! Good job Angus!!
Raised my two kids on that same headspace. They got flapped by geese and chickens.. had to learn to give sheep a wide berth.. rode quads and bikes in the field.. fell into dams... usually by the end of a day covered in mud and sheep shit. etc.
They both mid 20s now and their childhood has stood them in great stead.
Best way to grow up....
Jock is at that age where he is becoming more independent, wanting to do things himself, but both you and Lizzie lovingly guide him through the things he doesn't know the danger of yet. Both boys are sweeties. Love from the USA.
Fantastic parents you both are it's nice to see kids being raised the way we were,makes them wiser when they reach adulthood ❤❤❤
Used to eat dirt. Play in ditches. Pinch golf balls on the local golf course. Climb stupidly high trees, and the very best thing..................put a book on a roller skate and sit on it, then let it roll down the pavement and the only thing that stopped us was falling off before we got to the road. All before we were 8 years old. Your boy's having a great life 🥰
Sounds like what I got up to too with my Friends.

A different time
I believe you and Lizzy are doing a fine job. Don't pay any attention to people telling you how to raise YOUR children, that's right YOURS NOT THEIRS.❤
You are raising your kids to be to be self-reliant and strong. You and Lizzie are great parents raising the next generation to have skills and maybe even farmers.
How many kids do you plan on having?
Marissa did a great job manning the drone, I love watching the dog work the sheep so amazing what they can do
Love the way you are raising your lovely boys, careful danger and independence, love and time. ❤️. The sheep are looking great. 🐑. Rest when you can, new baby and lambing to come, you will certainly need the energy.
Your wonderful parents. I love watching Jock work. Your kids are so smart and adorable.Lizzie is starting to show her baby bump.👍🙏🙏💕💕
Lovely family, and Cammie I am so glad that you and the Brocks got together for a few adventures...❤
When we were kids, we were taught to respect our elders and no means no. I think it helped that literally any parent could discipline anyone's child, it was swift and fair and so even though we were given a lot of freedom, "don't come home until it's dark out" we learned self-control through trial and error. We lived in bear country, were taught bear safety and spent lots of time as a group of kids, biking around town, in the forest building tree forts and snowmobiling in winter. I don't think kids get a true childhood with helicopter parents who never discipline. Your kids are lucky to be farm kids and experience life at it's best.
Great parenting. And I love the way you are always talking to the kids. Children who have parents that talk and read and sing to them, hear 3 million more words by the time they are 3 years old, than parent that don’t talk, read, and sing. A wonderful start to life!
I love seeing little Angus walking, and Jock is a character, as usual. He is speaking so well, and it won’t be long until he’s out on his little quad, directing Spot on rounding up the sheep. I think you two are great parents! Thank you for all the time you take to share your life, and family, with us.
Good parenting, we was all young once , we all needed to learn , and your sheep are looking well , and beautiful family 👍👍
That was wonderful. The drone footage was great. Love Jock on the bike,Angus is walking so good in his trainers. You all are doing such a good job. Have a great rest of your week.
Your property is so beautiful!
You’re going to need some good insurance when Jock gets on the road 😂
Happy children. They will grow up sensible and able to make their own decisions. Good job 😊
You’re doing a great job parenting. The kids are learning that part of life is work. The boys are learning and enjoying that dirt and getting dirty is part of life and fun too. They are learning that safety is partly their own responsibility as well as the adults. It’s great you’re not helicopter parents, a problem we have here in the US.
Can’t wait to be introduced to your new baby ! What a wonderful show to watch !! Thanks for including us, your fans, in your great farming life. 🙏❤️
You two are great parents, you're letting the kids learn that actions have consequences. The best way to teach because telling them doesn't work well, they're too busy exploring their world.
Well done Angus. 😊❤️. Children lean confidence and competence through trying things that are beyond their current level. 😊❤️
Lizzie looking lovely in her Sheepishly Me T-shirt. One day you will all have to go visit Sandi. Loved seeing you all meet up. The boys are looking fab and well done Angus with your few steps 🎉❤❤
They grow up so fast let them explore their limits. A little dirt bumps and bruises won't hurt them.😊❤
All of it was so awesome.. including the blueberry muffin making!! Parenting.. YES YES YES! Back in the day.. kids had space and were encouraged to make decisions. Which is why today's kids are like mindless drones. They have lost the ability to explore and just be kids. I was never allowed to cook or learn how to cook in the kitchen. Don't think that ended well later on. Bravo to you Lizzy!! Thanks for sharing it all! Love to Spot and from the USA!
What gorgeous kiddo's and Angus starting to walk 🤗 If you give your children space to make mistakes they then learn from it. There are times when you Molly coddle them because at the time that's what's needed, every child is different, so you treat them differently, maybe to give them confidence or one child may need more praise than another. I had 3 under 3 and although it was busy, it was also packed with wonderful memories. Take care & God bless ♥️💙🩵🩵🩷
What a playground your kids have got and freedom to make their own mistakes safely as you said ❤
Great parenting. Experiential learning. It's the best thing for kids to understand their environment. We'll done xx
Loved the bit at the end Lizzie is an amazing mum your excellent parents and Marissa is very hard worker and a credit to her parents
Love that the kids are involved in so many of the things you both do in the fields and at home.
Love love love the two. Views of Spot and the field work. I admire the way you are raising your children. Problem solving is an essential skill for all of us and your little humans are getting a head start.
So nice that Lizzie is wearing a mic. Thank you!
You and Lizzy are amazing parents! It does kids good to work out boundaries and yes, doing scary things in a safe environment. More kids should climb trees, eat dirt, get snotty noses and play with sheep muck. A mucky bairn is a healthy bairn.
YES let your kids live!!! They will figure it out 100% Makes them stronger!
The biggest part of using the sheepdog to manage the flock seems to be the "on-off" button exercised by the shepherd. Spot really is shaping up to do a great job. Having only tried to get a house dog to listen occasionally, I think this fine control over their herding drive is nearly miraculous to witness.
Your all bringing those boy's up the right way Cammy. Great video again, awesome drone shots ❤
Great parenting!!!! And beautiful children. Love your videos ❤❤
Your boys are doing just fine, wish best of health and luck for Lizzy and the new baby girl to come.
And agree that kids learn from things they are allowed to try.
As parents we try hard to make sure they don't get seriously hurt, both physical and mentally, and remember that it's okay to stand firm on a NO when needed. One should never do kids a disservice to protect them from living life, and learning as things go.
What a wonderful day! So proud of you all! Great teamwork, beautiful family, happy sheep and dog, and nice relaxing music. Thank you so much!❤. The muffins looked yummy. I remember those days of getting "help" in the kitchen. All good memories!
Great job parenting. I think having them try to figure out problems on their own first makes them more resilient in the future.
The school of safe knocks. I like it.
Jock looks so serious driving his Electric Car. So adorable 🥰
Well done Angus. You will soon be just a blurry shape as you take off across the fields with dad puffing along to keep up. Jock is learning by making mistakes then trying again until he gets it right. That's absolutely the correct way to do it. He needs to work more on the Scottish accent though ! That will come once he's had longer at nursery, then when at school he will get fully immersed in Scots.
These dry sunny days will be drying off your lambing fields a bit.
I love that wee electric bike. Pity I am far too big for it now or I would be over for a wee shot.
I think you and Lizzy are great parents. I agree that kids need hands on is how they learn. Just watch them and guide them if needed all u can do . Unless u want couch potatoes. Thanks for sharing.
You’re both do wonderful parenting Cammy! A beautiful family and very blessed ❤️. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Good parenting... But hard to learn sometimes. As a new young mom our first born was playing on the swing set with swing rings. She got her foot caught trying to go upside down and started shrieking. I ran in to "save" her, but my husband called me back. He walked calmly over, stood beside her... Dangling by her foot... Talked her calm and then talked her through the trouble. She got her own foot out. She was never in real danger, with dad beside her, and the confidence she gained is still with her. Btw... She is nearly 40 now.
What beautiful hair and on a handsome boy! 😊 Nice video, Spot is working well. Beautiful 😊
The only way children learn is by trying ,and problem solving, your boys have the best childhood, out in the fresh air, and playing in mud , I always think imagination is a child's best toy❤
Hi Cammy,
Take it from a Sixty one year old grandma. No one should EVER tell you how to raise your own kids. You and your kid’s mom will know the best way to parent them.
I now get to sit back and see my 3 kids with their kids and I’m so very proud of them!!
Another excellent video!!
Great parenting. They are so happpy.
Jock is getting good at driving. I agree with your philosophy about safe dangers Cammy.
wonderful to see your children with you while you work. Best for the boys.
Excellent parenting, got to allow them to learn while supervising and never get excited it only fuels there fears. Jock is independent and smart ladx
Grew up on a farm, me and my brother were outside, constantly filthy/covered in cow poop , got up to all sorts and it was great!
Absolutly Loved seeing you all out together. Your kids are having a great upbringing.
Thank you for allowing us to share some of your time ❤
Let kids please be kids. In the Netherlands they will pamper kids if they are made of sugar. Just 9 months old I ate stones. 7:57 I ran in the Swiss mountains age 15 months. Climbed trees and was always outside. On my cycle or by foot. If me parents hade known everything, they maybe had a heart attack. You guys are great as a family. Be proud of your family and farm. ❤❤❤
Lovely images of the countryside and the sheep
The Drone is excellent
Fantastic film. Great to see Jock on his bike driving the sheep too. Wont be long before Angus it joining him. Fun times ahead.
I freaking love watching you live your life with work and family! Very awesome! Amazing parenting and coupling and caring and sharing. I adore you with your can-do attitude and your positivity! This video made me happy. Love how the little one is learning how to drive, as that is a skill he will need to help out on the farm! Well done. You are terrific. Truly a joy to follow on TH-cam. Thank you for the great video!
It's absolutely good parenting..you can't wrap them in cotton wool..it's all about learning...I brought my 2 kids up myself and am now a granny of 3 monsters 😂.... I keep meaning to ask..when is the new baby due? Bet you are both really excited ❤ you both work really hard and I wish you both all the best for the future..blessings from Perth Scotland 💙
Wonderful to involve the boys in the everyday work life. Blessings to you & your family.❤❤❤
That feeder is great. The sheep see it and come running to you, and then the feed just rolls out. Spot is getting better. And of coarse we have Jock Cam. It's good to get the jobs done. When will the lambing begin?
Aww watching you lizzie & the boys, certainly puts a smile on my face in brightens my day, what a fantastic family life you have ❤
love the at home scenes!!! Pls lets have more and how Lizzie rangles the boys, like my daughter with her 3 sons
You could learn a lot from Lizzies patience too 😂 I hope she does lessons, she's not too too busy. 😂😂
Love the family scene at the end!!!
I'm with you there Cam. It's no good wrapping the kids in cotton wool. No1 son had his first quad bike at 4, was driving his Rover 200 on the fields by 11 (which was soon followed by handbrake turns into the odd tree) and driving my Fergie and Landy on the farm soon after. At 16 it was a 50cc scooter followed by a 125 then a TT600 Triumph at 17 (which he crashed). He's still living at 30.
No1 Daughter had a scooter at 16 and travelled round the world, alone at 18. Its not that I don't care (their mother died when they were young) but they need to be independent. Dad is always there if things go wrong (ie, in Seoul when the Nat West cancelled your cards)
There was a large pine grove at the end of our road. The trees were all about 30 ft tall. We'd play tag in the tree tops. Never told ma. She wondered how we were getting pine pitch all over our clothes.
Sounds like something my Grampy & his sibs would've done!
Didn’t know parents like you guys existed anymore well done !! (Rare breed for sure) ❤
You two are great parents! Your guidance is great, we all had to learn to problem solve and not think it’s the end of the world or that mom and dad have to fix everything. Jock is at the right developmental stage for his age. He’s busy learning about everything around him, is wanting his independence, is exploring his environment and learning that things don’t always go the way you want it! Both of you are so patient and calm and he will learn so much from that. Love seeing you all work together. Great to see the boys around the sheep. Angus is growing like a weed and he’s going to be running across the field in no time. Cammy, I see chasing your boy in the near future!😂❤❤
Angus is starting to walk and how exciting can that be. Two toddlers🥰. Love watching your family working together. In a few years the boys will be very helpful. You are there to supervise Jock so it’s all cool. Jock is talking more and more. So cute❤️ jock maneuvers his bike very well. Have a great day at your work. ❤️🥰👍
GREAT parenting!!!!! And funny 😂 Love your boys
It was wonderful to see Sandi Brock with you on their trip to Scotland!
Good parenting! You're both keeping an eye on things as best you possibly can and I agree with letting a few scares happen without any actual harm being done (kids are so funny when they just forget how to do something and then whinge for help haha)
Think you are brilliant parents, the boys are having the best start in life - learning through trial and error, getting dirty and out in the fresh air! X
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your family life.
Too many kids are now so pampered it’s insane,your bringing up your kids in my opinion the correct way 💪🏴👏👏🤷♂️
Hi to you all...lovely vlog Cammy, enjoyable usual, very much appreciated as usual. I'm afraid to say...the gorgeous boys are in danger of taking over ...move over mum & dad lol .Big hugs to you all Sue & Ben (Woodhall Spa) xx
That’s how you grow up independent strong kids 💪🏻
Lizzie is so patient with those boys. She is amazing.
Well done Angus 👏👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏻👏🏿👏🏿👏🏽👏🏼❤
Can’t wait for Jock to be playing for England to make his Mum proud! 👍🏻
😂😂
It’s good for the children to learn at a young age and be pampered all the time ,,
Brilliant as usual
I can't believe one day that little guy will be a big guy and we get to watch the process. Time has already flown by... Thanks for letting us have a view into your world, Cammy. It's a comfort.
Brilliant parenting by You both…you have to learn boundaries and safety whilst having fun.the boys get both a great farming experience and also cooking 😊
Angus is walking already!!!🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉 If Jock figures out how to make a sheep dog whistle sound before he’s 3, I can only imagine the confusion in poor Spot! I think I spent about three months with my first whistle, practicing in my car trying to get any sound out of it at all….and later, when I finally figured it out, my husband insisted I only practice out in a field, or in my car when nobody was around to hear the racket🤣
Loved the last scene in the kitchen
Reminded me of my childhood helping my mum cook cakes too ❤️
Yeah, good parenting, builds confidence and the valuable lessons are learnt early.
So glad you enjoyed our birth city..Edinburgh! We went to the Chamber St museum too o.n our last visit! ❤
Oops that was meamt for Sandi!!! Lol
Jock reminds me of Farmer Pete when he gets hold of the Camera: pointing it at himself 😁😉😁
Beautiful family and wonderful video! ❤️🐑❤️
A boy Cammy another good video 👍.
100% agree about letting kids do dangerous things safely. I won't say the crazy shit we used to do when we were young 😂😂, but nobody got hurt.
I think that is great parenting! Kids have to learn how to adapt and overcome.
I agree - experiential learning sticks better than instructed learning. Keep safety in mind but don't cocoon them is absolutely the way to go.
HI Cammy. This was cute. My Cat 🐱 Yoda was watching your video with me. I got to see you & Lizzie, & Jock & Agnes On the Sandy Brock Show. What a great feeling it was to see all of you together like that. I hope we get to see you & Lizzie & the boys go see Sand's family soon. Oh Yummy yum Blue Berry Muffins I love them. Looks so great.
Thanks Fer taking us along.
Great Video, what a fantastic upbringing those lads are getting 🙂
Hello Cammy and welcome back .. absolutely beautiful family over there and I really appreciate and enjoy watching your lifestyle documentary video channel countryside and as always beautiful sharing and you doing such an amazing job .. best of luck to you and your beautiful family over there and may God bless you guys over there as always .. million thanks again from Montreal QC Canada
Great to see a bit of home life. I may have missed your baby girls naming, but think Brittany or Bethany would be cool😊
You have a very sensible attitude towards Parenting, Cammy.
But I suspect that the family dynamic will be very different when your little Girl arrives
I suspect that she will run rings around you and we will all then remind you what you said about your boys
Hey! No judgement. My Daddy was very protective of me and my sisters too
Which is why I never told him about all the Trees I would climb and the building sites I would explore in my pre-teen days as a Latchkey kid in the
70s with my little Gang all on Bikes and covered in cuts and bruises and mud from our Adventures
Good Times
OMG what a warrior of a woman you have in Lizzy. I see all these other youtubers with nannies etc. But your Lizzy does it all, pregnant, toddlers and all! Your kids will grow up with common sense, something sadly lacking in a lot of children these days. Theory is great (playing computer games etc) but nothing beats actual experience of trying something for real and figuring out what was good and not so good in the decisions you made. Keep doing what you do, you are all awesome! I'm exhausted just watching you 🙂 xx
