Shearing a huge Valais Blacknose Ram last Summer. Being such a big guy with so much wool, we have to take our time, but will my back last out holding up all his weight, it’s a tough one!
I became exhausted watching you shear that big boy. I almost fell off my chair when you said his weight! He is one beautiful ram and you are one incredible shearer! Oh my back and shoulders were feeling your pain. Beautiful shearing job Cammy. ❤❤
Here in the states I have sheared many rams over 300 pounds and several in the 400 pound range. A 400 pound fine wool ram with 2 ft wide horns will really make you sweat.
I'm from the U.S.A., and the State of Iowa. Our state fair has three competitions that go on every year at the start of the fair. Biggest bull, biggest boar, biggest ram. The biggest ram at the 2023 fair weighed 437 pounds, and the 2nd place ram was 427 pounds. Yes, these big boys do exist! I watch Sheepishly Me, and that's how I found you.
Very hard work, Cammy!! But you can stand back after you're finished, and pat yourself on the back and say job well done!! Keep the videos coming. I love the shearing content!!
Holy moly Cammy! That was a huge ram. He was, thank goodness , a confident calm subject to tussle with. His wool was so beautiful, it looked so fluffy, which I imagine is harder to shear. You did it !! Look at his conditioning, solid as a wrinkly brick. I love this breed. Would love to see him with his horns intact, what a beauty. However, imagine working around the curves and the added weight! Good job!! I like your shearing channel, as I learn about all the varied breeds. Hugs to the family. 🇨🇦🥰
Those the most beautiful sheep I have ever seen. At first, I couldn’t even tell what kind of animal Victor was! So pretty and so willing to be sheared. Great job from both of you!
You did an amazing job Cammie, I didn’t see one nick, I don’t think a lot of people could have done that job with all those wrinkles without at least one nick!!! You’re awesome 😎
Cammy I really enjoy these shearing video's I take it the important part of this shear is the Ram rather than any speed. He was definitely very chilled, but you both ken each other by now. Great video as usual, hope you're no in too much pain. Thanks fae the Doon Valley 🏴
Well done with shearing Victor, Cammy! He is indeed a massive monster of a ram, but he was quite calm and patient too, a testament to your skill in handling him gently and confidently. It was obvious that Victor was a difficult sheer by his size along, much less all that wool, not a square centimeter of his body was bare, and that wool looks soft and sticky [lanolin and texture I mean] so the need for second cuts was obvious and unavoidable. Victor was a good boy tho, he could ahve tossed you around easily, but he just endured your presence, lol. Love these shearing videos, and I've come to love the Valais Blacknose thanks to your videos too, they are cute but also seem like calm, almost docile sheep to have. Thanks for sharing this adventure, Victor is so huge, he was like mowing a whole island with a push mower!
Geez O'Pete! I felt that back strain.. These breeds are getting bigger and bigger - soon you'll have to shear them standing up, like Right Choice Shearing does the llamas! 😁
I imagine the yarn from this type of wool is very soft! This makes me as a fibre artist appreciate more fully the work involved in processing wool..very impressed!
Wow! He’s a big boy! Good job getting that big boy sheared. I’m much smaller than you and I would definitely need help. I think I’ll stick to the ewes.
Thank goodness he is so placid! My lower back began to ache just watching! Great job Cammy. Time for a lie down and a cuppa (or beer😉)! Love the shearing vlogs. 🇦🇺
Victor! Do you always shear at this farm? I think that’s how I stumbled upon your main channel in early 2020. Another incredible feat, my back hurts just thinking about it!!
ahhhhh .. I thought that was his .. ummm .. tail? No, I mean real tail .. then .. oh? Wot's that then? ahhhhhh .. now I see. lol hashtagnotafarmgirl .. coughcough
Oh Cammy….when you were finished I recognized that ‘back pose’. Hope your back is ok? Beautiful ram, but obviously much harder to shear. Is there anything to be done with this type of wool? I’ve heard wool doesn’t get used for much anymore bc it doesn’t go for much of a price. Thanks Cammy…I so enjoy these vids….from Nashville, Tennessee 🙏🏻🫶🏻🐏xx
What beautiful white wool. I have never seen this breed of sheep before. We usually had Columbia or Suffex. When I was a kid, my sisters and I would be the wool stompers. The wool would make our feet so soft as we didn't wear shoes ..... that is until we ran into a bundle that had a lot of large stickers .... then the shoes were put back on ...
My back was hurting.. a tough job.. beautiful shearing job. You have always been a joy to watch. When you had competitions when shearing was fun to watch. Either competing or working, you guys eased at times. I love to crochet with wool. That’s looks so soft. Like cashmere.
Daily yoga, regular massage, a personal trainer....the dynamic physical demands of the skills for the Sheep Game deserve the complimentary knowledge and of a wellness support team. Hot tub! Victor is one big fluff ball! Cammy makes that shearing look easy. And the ram appeared content with the attention. So fun to watch!
Isn't Victor just such a big, handsome boy. OMG, my back was hurting watching you manoeuvre him around. Great job, Cammy. They are the best-looking sheep around.
As a hand spinner I’m interested in all aspects of wool production and how it all comes to be in my hands. I was trying to see the crimp in his fleece but had trouble because my phone screen is small. I wish you would talk a little about the quality of each fleece and why it is what you see/feel. I love watching your technique and how well the animals respond to you. Keep the great videos coming
Before the shear: Aww. he's so cute! Look at the nose! Victor: bah. Me: ee! Such a cute voice!! After the shear: MUST HAVE ONE OF THESE!!!! Oh...and I might pick up a Valais Blacknose too. hehehe
I became exhausted watching you shear that big boy. I almost fell off my chair when you said his weight! He is one beautiful ram and you are one incredible shearer! Oh my back and shoulders were feeling your pain. Beautiful shearing job Cammy. ❤❤
Smooth operator ❤
Great Job, Cammy. The owners should have taken the opportunity to trim that ram's hooves while you had him tipped.
Here in the states I have sheared many rams over 300 pounds and several in the 400 pound range. A 400 pound fine wool ram with 2 ft wide horns will really make you sweat.
You yanks. Always bigger and better, eh?
Yeah n in their sparetime they wreck the globe bc of fun............

Victor is one BIG BOY! Great job! Beautiful fleece! 🐏😍👏👍
😮 very large ram! Great job! My back hurt just watching you!

What a gorgeous ram. 🐏🥰🥰
What a good job, well done Cammy.
💪💪💪😉
Those the most beautiful sheep I have ever seen. At first, I couldn’t even tell what kind of animal Victor was! So pretty and so willing to be sheared. Great job from both of you!
Victor looks like a polar bear. What a handful and you did it beautifully 👍😊👍
You’re an artist with those shears!!
You did an amazing job Cammie, I didn’t see one nick, I don’t think a lot of people could have done that job with all those wrinkles without at least one nick!!! You’re awesome 😎
Seriously impressive on so many levels!
Cammy I really enjoy these shearing video's
I take it the important part of this shear is the Ram rather than any speed. He was definitely very chilled, but you both ken each other by now.
Great video as usual, hope you're no in too much pain. Thanks fae the Doon Valley 🏴
First ram I've ever seen that has nearly as much personality as Cammy. What a hunk of gorgeous!
Well done with shearing Victor, Cammy! He is indeed a massive monster of a ram, but he was quite calm and patient too, a testament to your skill in handling him gently and confidently.

What a good boy he was. He knew you were there to help him. Great work! Thanks for this video.
Good Job, Cammy.
Back and all. lol
That wool is like cotton candy. Beautiful stuff!!!
Cammy that boy was a lot of work. I just love this breed.
Geez O'Pete! I felt that back strain.. These breeds are getting bigger and bigger - soon you'll have to shear them standing up, like Right Choice Shearing does the llamas! 😁
❤I'm thinking That is Fantastic looking wool and I wish I had some to crochet a scarf for the cool winter weather 🐏
Great Job shearing.
Awesome lot of hard work! Well, Done 👍👍
Man, Sorry for the heavy ram. I felt pretty ASMR on this side comfortably eating my donut and coffee while watching. I sub and like. Thanks.
I imagine the yarn from this type of wool is very soft! This makes me as a fibre artist appreciate more fully the work involved in processing wool..very impressed!
Their wool is considered coarse, suitable for making into carpeting, and felting.
@@susangrande8142😮😮 it looks so soft; appearance is deceiving…
I impressed by how you sheared this sheep, very professional 🎉
Great educator Cammy!!
Wow! He’s a big boy! Good job getting that big boy sheared. I’m much smaller than you and I would definitely need help. I think I’ll stick to the ewes.
Thank goodness he is so placid! My lower back began to ache just watching! Great job Cammy. Time for a lie down and a cuppa (or beer😉)! Love the shearing vlogs. 🇦🇺
Wonderful job Cammy! Victor is huge!!
He is magnificent and you are quick! That blanket is beautiful. I’d love to get my hands on a fleece like that!
Beautiful job. You were gentle yet firm and Victor seemed to relax and enjoy the shearing. Excellent work.
Must be so hard on your back! Love these videos thanks Cammy ❤️ from Australia
Beautiful.fleece
Oh straightening that back made me wince! Great job.
Great job ! Respect for your carrying.
Greetings from Hamburg Germany
I think you’re fabulous!!! Good job on a massive ram laddie!!! Sending respect from Santa Barbara, California, USA♥️‼️🥰☮️🙋♀️
What a handsome boy Victor is!!! Love that wool! ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Yikes! Your poor back! What a magnificent animal Victor is. Well done on the shearing, Cammy.
Beautiful job, Cammy! My poor old back was feeling your pain!❤
I've sheared a ram for my bucket list, my back hurts in sympathy!
What a beautiful ram!! Watching you wrestling him made me think you won't have any problem handling Jock and Angus!!
Not sure who was grunting more, Victor or Cammie
Unfortunately I think it's Cammie.
Really good job. I was feeling your back pain. You are tougher than me! Respect!🎉
Wow what a big boy !
That was a huge job! What a beautiful Ram! His fleece is lovely!
Well done! Oh, I you did all right too Cammy. 😂
Victor! Do you always shear at this farm? I think that’s how I stumbled upon your main channel in early 2020. Another incredible feat, my back hurts just thinking about it!!
I feel with you, we have valois blacknose 😅
Wow!!! What a huge ram.Sooo handsome. Lots of wool❤❤❤
I think he actually enjoyed the shearing--he obviously doesn't mind you either! Nice job shearing this big boy.
I think Victor secretly likes going to the baa baa shop, especially with you as the baa baa.
He's a beast! Well done Cammy 👏
I love Valais Blacknose sheep. He’s a big handsome guy. Well done!
Victor's feeling a bit chilleh on his willeh after that. Living the dream, Vic. Living the dream.
ahhhhh .. I thought that was his .. ummm .. tail? No, I mean real tail .. then .. oh? Wot's that then? ahhhhhh .. now I see. lol hashtagnotafarmgirl .. coughcough
Love you videos
Keep them up
I can’t wait for the lambing videos
I can’t imagine hoisting that big ram around.
That was fabulous to watch Cammy…thank you, an amazing job done…+ what a gorgeous boy Victor is! 😁💕🐏
Victor is adorable and he was a good Ram
These are lovely sheep. I bought a fleece for spinning once and it was full of lovely ringlets. I think you did a wonderful job.
Those are beautiful sheep. Look like more work to shear and keep. Thanks for sharing Cammy
Absolutely incredible work!
He's a beautiful ram!!
That wool😍
Feeling bad for your back however
Oh Cammy….when you were finished I recognized that ‘back pose’. Hope your back is ok? Beautiful ram, but obviously much harder to shear. Is there anything to be done with this type of wool? I’ve heard wool doesn’t get used for much anymore bc it doesn’t go for much of a price. Thanks Cammy…I so enjoy these vids….from Nashville, Tennessee 🙏🏻🫶🏻🐏xx
Incredible shearing. Could virtually feel the weight and effort going into the process.
Great job Cammy loving these shearing vlogs 😊
AllO could think of was how beautiful that fleece was! It would be so fun to spin!
Great job Cammy! Beautiful Ram you couldn’t do to many of those in a day, my back hurt watching you with this one.
Hes so beautiful. Like a giant stuffed sheep. So Fluffy and white.
I'm just drooling over the fleece.
What beautiful white wool. I have never seen this breed of sheep before. We usually had Columbia or Suffex. When I was a kid, my sisters and I would be the wool stompers. The wool would make our feet so soft as we didn't wear shoes ..... that is until we ran into a bundle that had a lot of large stickers .... then the shoes were put back on ...
Great job.......he sure is a big animal. You must be so strong. Pretty cute too. Hope your wife appreciates you.........have fun today.
He has gorgeous wool! I can only imagine what yarn from his wool is like to crochet with.
💖🐏💪❤
Well done! What a fine looking Ram Victor 🐏 is. Thank you for showing us your shearing skills. ❤
His wool is gorgeous, but poor baby, you scalped him to the skin!🫣😂. Great job Cammy 🥰
Black Nose are awesome, the lambs are just so much fun to watch as they seem to bounce everywhere! That Ram was massive
Beautiful sheep!
Gosh my back is sore just watching this. Well done!
My pet sheep, a Barbados hair sheep, was also called Victor so I loved seeing this big boy get his haircut!
My back was hurting.. a tough job.. beautiful shearing job. You have always been a joy to watch. When you had competitions when shearing was fun to watch. Either competing or working, you guys eased at times. I love to crochet with wool. That’s looks so soft. Like cashmere.
Who needs a gym!?! Great work Cammy 💜💖🇦🇺
You are a brave and careful operator. You are worth double what they are paying you. Great job.
Brilliant!!! He still looks huge without the wool!!
Daily yoga, regular massage, a personal trainer....the dynamic physical demands of the skills for the Sheep Game deserve the complimentary knowledge and of a wellness support team.
Hot tub!
Victor is one big fluff ball!
Cammy makes that shearing look easy. And the ram appeared content with the attention. So fun to watch!
That was a job well done! But OMG your back!! I feel your pain.
Phew, great job!
WOW, that's a couple of big boys.... 💖💖💖💖
Isn't Victor just such a big, handsome boy. OMG, my back was hurting watching you manoeuvre him around. Great job, Cammy. They are the best-looking sheep around.
Tough job and do beautiful work.

You are frigin amazin .....now that's bloody physical from Bunbury western Australia x
I used to dip those big/and small clipper blades in oil to cool them....but I used them on horses! Bit of a dif there!😊
Those sheep are so cute!!!!
WOW.. perhaps a back belt to work on those monster sheep!! Great job! Thanks for sharing! Love from the USA!
such a beast! I mean You, Cammy!🦌💌❤️🐑
That’s a fair bit of work, but he’s a keeper. They’re gorgeous. I think it’s to hot for them where I love or I’d have a farm full.
He was very chilled out just lying there
That was AWESOME mate bloody amazing work well done sir :)
Good Lord that’s a big boy! Job well done 👍🏽
Before the shear: Aww. he's so cute! Look at the nose! Victor: bah. Me: ee! Such a cute voice!! After the shear: MUST HAVE ONE OF THESE!!!! Oh...and I might pick up a Valais Blacknose too. hehehe
Victor looks Pretty in Pink! His horns will grow back won’t they? The horns have such unique patterns on them.
