- I'm still trying to pay the bills here so we're out sorting another load of lambs to go to Lanark mart.
This time it's the cheviot / cheviot mule lambs which we are sorting through but we just can't believe the weights that are on the scales.
Let me know your thoughts,
Thanks #SheepFans

ABOUT ME
I’m 30 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.
LOL!! Not gonna lie... I was having an anxiety attack when those lambs were heading for the river!!! Mine would have found it!😂😂 great video as always! Congrats on 8K!!!!!🙌🙌🙌
Thanks Sandi!! I had a wee panic myself at one point as i started sliding!! =D
Hey Sandi I’m a big fan I love billie and hope you have a good Christmas and I have asked my mom and dad for one of your hoodies a while ago soon as it came out so hope you have a lovely Christmas 😁🎄🎅🏻
Sandi could send you lots of Canadian snow as a change from Scottish mud. Careful what you ask for!
Watching you run after the sheep in fast motion was funny. Those sheep can really move and when they jumped over the side I thought it was quite smart. ❤️
Can be quick when they want to be!
I never realized there were so many breeds of lambs. It's amazing all that I'm learning. Hoof trimming, shearing, bathing, commands for dogs. I love it! ❤
Those lambs who jumped the fence thought they were helping you out. "Look, he's working so hard lifting us over the fence. Whee! We can over ourselves!" lol I really liked the speeded-up drone footage of bringing in the lambs. I'd love to see another like that.
When that sheep jumped over the gate it made me laugh. On the other hand I felt bad for you that they weren't cooperating! I love your channel!! You have beautiful babies and an amazing woman!
As Sandi B. 🇨🇦 goes to ship her lambs to market toward the end of April 2022, she opens the door to go outside and all is white and still snowing and cleaning the snow off the truck and attaching the trailer and goes down the road a bit to the other barn (the sell lambs) and backs in , loads the lambs onto the trailer, clean snow off the truck again and off to white knuckle it to market. Meanwhile here on the island of Newfoundland 🇨🇦, we hardly had any snow all winter. (not always that way) I know my neighbour the sheep farmer had his sheep out later this year before going into the barn for winter. He takes his sheep to a little green island off the coast in June and brings him back Sept/Oct. he also has an alpaca.
I laughed so hard at this one. So many little problems and then you teach the lambs to jump out of the pen! You're excellent entertainment!
Why I love your videos is also because we've gone the same thing as you. We are farmers, not ranchers, but do not have a lot of acreage and started with nothing - we've had ups and downs, land at present, with the heat and the lack of rain, it has burned plants - it's just farming.
I have the same problem with my bathroom scales. I am constantly surprised by how heavy I am....... There is nothing more sole destroying than watching your recently sorted sheep casually vault your pen and make good their escape. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Haha better to toss them out and just go by feel!!
A😂
That was cracking me up! I was thinking 🤔 those lambs are watching him and thinking….. sure enough…oh, are we supposed to go over the pen wall? We can do that….just watch us!
I love Sandi Brock and The Sheep Game too. As an old city person I am always impressed by how hard y'all work.
Thanks Barb! Appreciate the support!
Those lambs gave you help by jumping out the pen. 😂😂😂
Oh Cammy you make me laugh with all the sheep shenanigans 😂
Omg I'm laughing so hard right now😆. You chasing down the 3 sheep trying to get them up the hill and not fall in the stream 😂. I can't help myself from lol.
Haha wild sheep!
Now THATS a ram! Congrats on 8 K...Good luck, especially with those wee Shetland ewes. I know I'd be worried 4 her...I fret about everything...but thats just me. You, being a vet, you'd know best...
Aww, they're so cuuuute! Just like shetland ponies; not tall, but *double stuffed with cuteness and trouble!*
Hey,when its your own language, you can murder it anyway you like!
Loved how the one watched, saw what you were doing 🤔!and decided to help you out!
😃💞👏by hopping the fence herself!
Hot diggity! Well done! Quite some weight on those wee lambs, didn't look quite that big...
I enjoy listening. Everybody has a smile. All good sports. 😀🐑
Got to keep smiling, gets you though the winter! 👍
I'm laughing so hard that the sheep are going where they want to go into the creek and the dogs can't help. You're trying to pick them up and they run in the wrong direction. You're killing me with laughter.
Them's clever wee lambs you have, followed your lead jumping out the race 😂😂😂
Haha they were obviously big enough when they start that caper!
Sorry died laughing when the other lambs just jumped the gates 😆😆😆
Thanks Kelly, lambs do make for interesting videos
Another brilliant video Cammy I was in stitches with you nearly in the burn I've been there many a time and these lambs jumping out the pen was priceless. Its hilarious when it happens to someone else again I've been there. Keep it up Cammy 👍😂😂
haha cheers Stu!
I had no idea there were so many different breeds of sheep 🐑 , learning 😏👊. Even that blue & black tall two legged guy was running about 😆👏👏👏
haha thanks kelly! We have hundreds of breed in the UK
Sandi Brock mentioned you in one of her recent videos, so I popped over to check out the channel and content. I love seeing how each of you manage and address tasks differently. Thank you for creating this type of content. I know I'm a better consumer and supporter of smaller and larger sheep businesses because of it.
Thanks for watching TMM
Hello from Ontario Canada. Sandi suggested I head over and watch. She said I would enjoy your channel . She was right 😁 I will like and subscribe 👍
Thanks Heather! Hope you manage my strong Scottish accent too! =D
Great video. Sorry but I was laughing when you nearly fell in the river. The only predictable thing about sheep is they're unpredictable 😂😂🐏🐑🐶🐾🐾🐶🍷🍺👍🏼
It would have been great tv...... horrible..... but great tv lol
omg I am laughing so hard these videos are giving me great joy. Your fantastic sense of humor. Fastest dogs ever lol but I also was panicking at the river bank although I knew there was an end to the video so....fat as hell, love it. And when the sheep jumped the gate it was like to heck with being tossed over we will just go ourselves.
Try to make the best out of all situations Dana, and if it doesn't go to plan don't panic or stress 🤪
Brilliant video again, Cammy. Just wish I could keep as cheerful when working in the wet and mud which, by the way, I now see you have as much of as us!
Good prices for those Cheviot lambs - well done.
Cheers Jimmy. Hellish wet this winter so far! I was happy enough at that of the grass. Been a good year for sheep!
Really enjoy your videos. No need to apologize for your facilities. You have generous paddocks and the pups to help you. My own flock is small, but my ewes are generous lambing. Just guardian dogs as my sheep are pretty tame.
Thanks Patricia!! Happy New year!
@@TheSheepGame Happy New Year to you Camy, family and Shepard friends there in Scotland. May your new year bring plentiful and abundant grass and lambs!!! ) And markets paying generously for your lambs!!! )
I love watching you guys - your pups are true star 💫 material ⭐️
At 5.15 on video, looked like trying to juggle massive marshmallows, bless them 😊
No you're right it was giant marshmellows lol =D
Cammy. Your videos sure do cheer me up. Merry Christmas to you, your friends and family and of course your subbies. 🇨🇦❤️🐑🐑🐑
Merry Christmas Sheep fans😁. Thanks Cheryl!
As usual, an amusing and colourful video, Cam !!!
Thanks James. Am I getting easier to understand these days?
That was a good video. Can't sleep now after all that laughing. Will have to watch your next video now instead of with the morning coffee. Maybe your rain might have stopped by now. Ha ha
We have had some drier weather recently and a bit cooler which is a nice break from the constant rain and mud, flowers won't be far away from coming out now 😊
When those sheep jumped the gate I just had to laugh, sorry. 😂 I love watching Sandi's videos, I admire how hard-working you both are. Is it always so muddy there at this time of year?
Thanks! Yeah it’s always like this 😂
You need a Otter Box for your iPhone. That was fun! Glad you did good with your lambs. Thank you for sharing :-) Stay safe and healthy :-))
Thanks i'm due an upgrade so see what santa brings =D
Great video!!🔝🔝🔝 Almost 8k !!👍👍 I ended up in a wheelchair due to illness. My biggest wish is to run after my sheep again, just like you in the video!! Big support !!
Sorry to hear that Boris. Makes me appreciate what i've got!! Thank you!
Just want to say, your name "the sheep game" is awesome and your logo is just amazing also.. it stands out so good on your sweaters and coats!
“It pains me!” That says so much about life! But you just keep going! Good job!
Thanks Bill. 👍
Lovely stock and thanks for making me smile!!
Thanks christina!
Another fun video, was wondering why those three sheep were determined to fall down the ravine into the river though. Lol. As for Sandi Brock, she does have a sweet set up for weighing, but since her winters can get to -40 C and tons of snow, it’d be a bit hard finding any sheep in the fields, plus she has coyotes. She does have one disadvantage, she needs to clean out the barn and feed her sheep constantly. It keeps her busy. You both do a great job of it and I love seeing the different varieties of sheep you grow out by you. ❤️👍🐑🎄
Thanks Meghan, those hill breeds love to hide from the dog
One of your best videos yet!
Thanks Peggy. You have made me so much more aware of my gender specific terms =D
I always enjoy your videos, Cammy!
Great vids mate keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Well, Id like to say our sheep area is like Sandi Brocks, but we live in the Kootenays in BC and until this week our ewe pen ( no pasture as everything is covered in snow) was 30% lake as we went through a very fast thaw. Mud, mud, mud! Pretty much the same as your field except without the lovely grass.
Great footage on this one, Cammy!
Thanks Liz!
I’m laughing because I thought the same thought at all the mud. Sandi’s is so dry and clean when she’s weighing - plus she’s got the Galiger.
Another great video. 4:25 you were lucky 😂
Cheers Calum,,
I love watching the dogs work.
Thanks Anda!
I like the trailers you guys use
yes, we do love our Sandi Brock here in Ontario, just can't find her lamb for sale in the local stores in Toronto.
I'm a big fan of Sandy too, hope you're enjoying the channel George
We had the same issue with our tyres until i started checking preasures... keep them at about 75psi and never had a bother after that
Good shout i'll give then a blast see where they are at
Give yourself more room on the side where you’re turning, so, if you’re turning left, hug the center line. Don’t follow the fog line. Square off your turns, when turning right, get halfway through the intersection, before you start your turn. It was hard to figure this out in my head, because I’m an American truck driver, but I hope this helps. I worry about your animals, because, besides being hard on your tires, curbing your trailer puts it at risk for tipping over. Be safe. *hugs*
HAPPY SOLSTICE, CAM ...from the mountains of Central Vermont ❄️⛄️💥
And you James! Looking forward to summer now!
You should remove one axle and use only two. The front and rear axle tires are working side friction against each other under load. You can center the two remaining axles and put them as close as possible perfectly aligned so that there is a full 5cm between the closest point of the tires and put 8 ply bias belted tires (heavy load tires) for up to 8 tons gross weight. Your tires, like mine will last for many years. I built my own trailers and run them 40,000 k per year each. Under load I often carry 6-7 tons. My trailer is 3.5 ton
Great video, with our scales you can put the same lamb in 3 times and get 3 different weights and they were bought new 3 years ago.
haha i'm not the only one then!"
@@TheSheepGame definitely not, also I think the marts scales are always on the buyers side.
Scotland has some brilliant words. And her people are always cheery. Rain wise in Fife same as Aryshire, pishin doon. Cuddle your mum for me. Lynn from Dunfermline
ah the mud. Don't miss that mess...lived in Thetford, Norfolk for 4 years while hubby was stationed at RAF Lakenheath. We visited Edinbourgh and Glasgow in november...it was wet and miserable weather as I recall. oh the cold bitter wind off the north sea...yuck...don't miss that !
Aye we get it tough up here but it makes us hardy =D and miserable haha
Some Benny Hill vibe from the drone as well !
Can't wait to see what the lambs will be like from the Valley Black Nose and your Jacobs, should be some cute lambs. What am I talking about, all lambs are cute. That little Shetland has got the best facial expression, a sort of wide eyed amazed look, lol.
The shetlands are something else! Lambs should be good!
The Happy Team of Ayrshire. What more can you ask for. I’m still struggling with the language. It is what it is. Thank you for sharing.
🐑🐑😷👍
Thanks Randolph. Hopefully I can speak a bit clearer and maybe you will get used to it over time too. Thanks for trying
Gotta love the auld Sunday video 👍🐑🐏
Thanks for watching!!! =D
Had same problem with lanark weights this year weighed at home 5kg to 6kg less at lanark we must be daft.
Only industry that gets deductions when we sell. Great vid as always.
Ach it is what it is Jsw i still think it was a fair price for the lambs so i'm not complaining =D
Great video love the content
Cheers Danny. Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Sean
Cammy after shearing lambs & once the have a good pick of feed they pill on the pounds much more than an inshore lamb.
Sounds like you’re on a winner aye. Another fun interesting video.
Fine batch of lambs. 👍😜
Thanks Colette!,
Ye I love sandi brock I was like did he just mention her I had to rewind to double check
Her barn tho 😍😍
She's a legend! Can only dream of that success!
She doesn’t have to chase sheep around the countryside, just around the pens.
You are doing well sloshing around in all the mud and still have a happy outlook😄🐑🐑🐑
Only thing for it,!😃😃
Glad to see you've wet field as well not just up in Stirlingshire.
We're all in the sh*t together Cara =D
Boy its wet there, you even leave tracks walking across the pasture, a bunch of us fans should get a collection going to buy you a pony you can ride when gathering sheep. That would be fairly entertaining.
A jet ski be handy for going round the ewes 😂
Grate vid as always cammy lambs where looking good. Still can not belief the trade at the momment.
Cheers David. Interesting to see what Brexit does!
@@TheSheepGame intresting is one word
What's the night time job? I'm sure you have mentioned it before
Hahaha . 10k subscribers we do the big reveal!
Amazing absolutely amazing
Thanks Sapphire!
Maybe it was wet and muddy wool throwing the scales out: I know from washing fleece that wet wool is incredibly heavy ⚖️🌧️. Now I'm imagining each sheep with its own automatic umbrella strapped to its back that pops up as soon as rain is detected. Ah me, this sheep game is fun!
The only think is most of them were shorn! Would be dodgy scales I think,
I wish I had Sandi Brock's barn too!! 😂 No one likes the mud
It’s some setup,
Saw the new weight crush this old one must be so different!
Oh don't you love those days , where u get caught on barb wire, get the sheep sorted only for them to leap out on you 😢the joy of sheep! , great video, very funny
Haha thanks Mary Catherine got to keep smiling!
Good video cammy! So much I want to say 😂 but the main thing is... Meg and Skye have asked santa for a canopy for the truck. Don’t ask me how I know this, I just do 🎄🎅🏼
Do you sell said mentioned canopy by any chance 😉
Funny story! Meg won’t jump into a pickup with a canopy so easy. She stands in the huff because she won’t be able to see out!😂😂
I watch Sandi brock all the time 😁
Yeah she's the Sheep TH-cam queen!
@@TheSheepGame hell yeah and if you see this I have a flock of just texal and beltex but there is one mule but doesn’t bother me 😁 love your vids bro keep up the good work and merry Christmas hope you have a good one 🎄🎅🏻😁
Another great video,lambs in south Ireland making 125 per head Euro, that land looks Shocking wet,
Good to see they are strong there too! Drier with u?
Enjoyed
Love it and the language ❤️
Need a gid jaiket in this Scottish weather!
I got your merch today
Brilliant James you like it?
Can't beat the tru-test for the scales, and kaiwakas for the waterproofs!
Be right there !! One day I hope i can afford them both!!
Cammy, I enjoyed another great video by you. Merry Christmas, looking forward to a Christmas video, if you get on up Christmas Morning.
As others have said, it sure is wet for y'all there, I can see why flukes are a issue. For the most part the scales are dead on here in the US, like gas pumps the scales are tested yearly and at random. Depending on the state and county the scale is in, results in how much it's tested. For the most part you can trust them. If a sale barn was cheating people the word would spread fast, they'd be outta business or worse.
After you all most go in the river and after watching most of your videos, I'd say you have had some close calls.
I've noticed you have many gates in the middle your pasture fences and not the corners, What a head ache to push livestock threw those.
I found it interesting the footage at the
Thanks DC!! Aye generally we have gates in corners but there”s always the exception!
Too funny watching your bigger lambs go over the side of the run after watching you toss the lightweight ones over.
Haha as if life wasn’t hard enough!
5:54 I see yeh! Trying to be like the TheSwissShepherdess' husband, are we now? 😉 Just trying to show off, not quite the same affect as the Swiss Mountains, but hey like you said "yeh happy!" 😁 😜
Not quite as pretty here but up in the Highlands it would give switzerland a run for it's money =D
@@TheSheepGame sure thing, I was more on about abseiling a sheep up the cliff. 😉
Haha i’m building up to that
Slaughtermen just love muddy fleeces (not), you cant compare your situation with Sandi Brock as she has a dedicated barn, like the waterproofs but usually i manage to pierce mine with the point of a knife , glad to see your subs number climbing , all the best for Chrirmass and a Happy New Year, cheers from a soggy Brechin.
However, the buyers are savvy enough to know how much a wet fleece and a full rumen weighs. I used to bring my market lambs in overnight. Regards to Brechin, the home of my dad’s best army pal.
Thanks. They all get belly crutched at market but aye they would still not be the cleanest lambs unfortunately!
@@TheSheepGame some are always going to “have a say”. Sandi regularly gets asked when she will put the sheep out 😉. Your asked occasionally why are yours are so muddy I’m sure 🤷🏼♀️ No system is perfect. I have been watching Sandi for years but saw you on the Hoof GP and will enjoy the new area and types of sheep 👏👏
Can you put your address in so I can send the baby something. One question what are the commands you give your dog to work the sheep like that. Very smart and obedient dogs. I enjoy watching your videos thank you for sharing your life with me, you bring a smile to my face every time, thank you!
not a bad weight the ground looked very wet have a good christmas and stay safe from melbourne
Cheers Mick! You too. Hope summer is keeping covid at bay!
Some sheep farmers are like sheep, see a flash looking trailer in the mart, got to have one.
Ifor Williams 14 foot 2 axle trailer, turns on a sixpence, no scuffing of tyres. 10 ply 6.50-R16
In 12 years spare never been used. Trailer can legally carry more weight than a triple axle.
Sounds the business!!
Wow ! Follows just like people! right over the panel
I lafffed way hard !!!!too funny ! Don’t know how I missed this video.
That incident next the burn could of gone so very different ! Subs keep going up 😊
Oh i know. I had a wee flutter of panic as i managed to grab a bit of wire!! Would be great TV though!
Good morning from soggy wet North Wales.vid interesting again and glad to see you happy 😃 in your day job but you should invest in electronic weigh scales and some high hurdles.happy Xmas 🎅⛄️🎄🐑👍
I'm on it John. Combi clamp and auto draft scales in the new enviro grant....
Recommend you get an otter case for your phone next time, I drop my phone at least once a week (sometimes more often), not a crack or ding on my phone, I've had it about a year.
Looking at this and comparing the Te Parie You have it easy now.
My Leicester Longwools go at 120-150 kilos but at shearing time I deduct automatically 11 kilos. I need $350 US$ for meat weight before I release them..about $7US per kilo in high market about $4.50 kilo in low cycle.
It’s nearly worth your while putting them on the boat to Northern Ireland, I’m from derry/Londonderry and 23 kilo pulling 96/97 pound lol
Will u pick them up the other side?
@@TheSheepGame hahahaha
Directions to that mart please?? I'm just over the border in Donegal, that 40kg lamb would make €85 - €90
@@user-hb4hs4pe1mit’s called Donemana , it’s about 8 miles from town centre 👍
good job you got them away last week
Aye be interesting to see what happens now!
Worth the wait cammy we have the same problem with our stock box but we haven’t blown it up in about 3 months and it’s did no harm #cowboysdontcare
Don't stop coz yer wheel fell off....
Good show lad got £98 for 42kgs this week and £105 for 48kgs in Ballymena Norn Ireland 👌
Some game over there!! Beltex / texel lambs?
@@TheSheepGame 105 for 4 pedigree Scropshires ram lambs that I sick looking at rest were surplus texel mules lambs rared on the shepherdess in March.
Merry Christmas mate. Your videos are very entertaining.
What make are those waterproofs
Merry Christmas! They are Hydrowear No Sweats. Make sure u get the No Sweat ones as they have the lining. Only about £40
Lamb toss should be at the scottish games
😂
