- Something special this week, 3 years on after the sale, and still holding the record for the most expensive sheep in the world! We are lucky enough to get to shear Sportsman's Double Diamond. What a specimen of a Texel, nervous for this one, we may just take our time...

Thank God there's a top notch shearer strong & lanky enough to tackle a colossal VIP sheep.
I’m addicted to this…it’s so satisfying to watch you gently remove these fleeces. Greetings from the USA.
I’ll be honest, Big DD is making me feel more confident about getting on the scales this morning at Weight Watchers.
😂😂
Wow. What an honour and a privilege to be asked to shear him. Well done Cammy. Xx
For a meat sheep he has a fleece like a cloud. Good job.
Melissa Trader you are faulting Cammy for try to save an orphan lamb. He is also trying to help a grieving sheep that just lost her kid. You must not support farmers or understand that he only skins dead lambs to save others from dieing. Cammy is not sick or twisted. You should apologize for trying to put Cammy in a bad light.
Yeah it’s a standard procedure. It also used to be standard in some places to literally bite the testicles off the ram lambs. Apparently it was easier on them pain and health-wise. But now they use a giant rubber band thing to wither them off, and I guess it’s more painful for them.
@@colleenuchiyama4916from what I’ve seen and read the rubber band method is painless and much more humane.
There are other ways of saving a baby sheep than cutting its skin off and putting it on another animal sorry now that's disgusting there other ways of doing that
@@melissatrader8528No there isn’t. The other lamb was dead and felt nothing. It’s fleece saved a lamb in need of help to survive. It might be distasteful but it’s necessary. While an orphan lamb can be bottle-fed, the chance of survival for an orphan is much, much better if it can nurse naturally. Placing the dead lamb’s fleece on the orphan tricks the mother into thinking it’s her lamb and immediately bonding with the orphan, saving its life. I understand it was hard for you to watch, but I saw it as a blessing.
@@sharonkaczorowski8690 it’s not. Was told this by a sheep herder in Colorado down by New Mexico.
Wow! Cammy! Very impressive that you had the privilege of shearing DD, and a very impressive job you did. God Bless
Love that they choose you to shear this living room table of a sheep so that we could all see this tiny sheep in his actual size! 😅🤣😂🥰
Being 6’2” makes it hard to make the sheep look big😅
@@shearingseason4965 I see the problem - I am close to 6'4" - but in opposite of me, you are slim, so the impressive wide of this chap is not also disguised in the comparison! 🤣😂
Holy smokes, that is one huge sheep! You sure got a workout with him, I wondered why you were wearing a sweatshirt, especially with those strings hanging down. I was afraid you’d get them stuck in the clippers!😁. He was a pretty nice boy for you!
I also really appreciate the beauty of the wool as it’s revealed…this one was especially lovely. What a big guy!
OMG, that wool looks so white and soft 😍😍😍
Much respect for folks in your profession. I've only regularly groomed my dogs. And they were an eighth of this boy's weight. Take care of your back. Cheers
Late to the party but WOW that is a gentle and patient ram, especially for his size. He’s obviously super used to people and has been gently handled a lot since he was a lamb! I bet he could be halter trained if the hair on his face wasn’t so perfect.
You’re also teaching me a lot about sheep breeds because I saw that price tag and took one look at him and thought “Of course he’s a Texel.” 😂
What an absolute unit folks!!!
Omy goodness he looks like a bull dog. Lol cuteness overload ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow he is huge ! You did a great job
Good job Cammy! He was HUGE!
Ohhh this is a VERY unexpected ram! I have heard of this big beautiful beastie via your clips but ... What a privilege. Thanks to you and hos 1/3rd owner for letting us meet him. :-)
I just love his face he's got an adorable head
Love watching you. From Melbourne Australia.❤
Oh! Cammy! That huge DD is stunning! You did a DD job of shearing too!🦌💌❤️🐑
For that price the damn thing should be able to fleece herself, sing opera and solve sodoku
I live in Ireland and for a second I was like HOW MANY GUINNESS!??
His wool is beautiful. Fluffy.
What a unit! DD isn't too bad either.
He really looks tough. No wonder the ewes love him. Great shear job. Love your banter.
He is stunning absolutely love them .
Wow! 'Ol DD is quite the powerhouse, isn't he? Well done. That fleece is gorgeous.
Thank u for the close up video them animals are heavy to pick up
What a beautiful animal! Thanks for giving all the background and the video of his sale. Where I live in US no one raises sheep. So watching your videos has been an education.
That's the biggest sheep I've EVER seen! He looks like an Angus stuffed into a sheep body!
Nice work Cammy. I was feeling every grunt and groan as you clipped away. I've been there and experienced exactly what you had a hold of! My rams are around the same size as this big brute! Thanks for taking us on the ride with you! Have a great day!
Thanks Scott!
Do you shear them yourself? What a daunting job!
@@colleenuchiyama4916 Yes, for some strange reason I indeed do all my own shearing. I've been doing my best to deal with this "disease" called Shepherding/Farming...but alas, I guess I'm terminal!
Well done Cammy 🎉🎉🎉
That was an INCREDIBLE episode!!
Thanks Cammy for every single one, it's always so much fun watching you shear different breeds of sheep!
This one was MASSIVE.
My goodness, what an absolute unit!
The fact you actually managed to topple him over, I'm kinda surprised.
Not because you're weak, but because double D ist just too strong!
My back was sore for a week after it😅
Agreed ❤.
I'd rather just buy a herd, of slightly imperfect sheep 🐑🐏🐑🐏
Hey, you hand sheered Fiona. You got this.
OMG what a cracking specimen he was. No wonder you were sweating 😅
Oh my goodness, I love watching your videos, but my back hurts so badly by the time I reach the end. I really don't know how you do it!! Please take care of yourself and thank you for all you do.
Man he is a very strong and big boy. No pressure or anything!!!!! You did a good job.
That has to be a career highlight - certainly one to remember - what a huge ram. wow. Great job.
Oh my what a brute. I think he was enjoying the process. Good job Cammy, thanks for taking us along with you.
As a cowboy/horseman, I've aeen ridiculously priced horses and cattle but I'll admit I never thought a sheep of all things could run into that much money. And my granfather raised some and my Dad when he was young. I always had the impression the dang things only lived so they could wake up everyday to try to find new ways and reasons to die.
My goodness DD is a massive beast.😮
Funny when see his face/head it makes me think of a leopard seal. 😉
Wow ..he’s a powerful lad…love the way your chatting to him
I am looking forward to see all the breeds in the UK! You have become well known. I only hope all your work will bring you a big farm and house where you and Lizzie can settle down and have all your sheep and raise your sheep and children all in one place.
LOL, they seem to be pretty comfortable at present. I recall a poster at a heritage farm in England, with the vast number of sheep breeds on it.
We had all Suffolk tups until 1979,got our first Texel tups that year.I'd have problems sleeping if i had a Tup of his quality,i must say these tup shearing videos are superb Cammy.
Sweet! What a privilege!
Wow, DD is certainly one great sheep. Glad you had the chance to shear him for us to see! Love your sense of humor too.
I was waiting for you to catch the strings on your hoodie. I have to do those kind of rams standing on a halter or just lying flat out. Nice work!
What a monster. Perfection at its best. Good job Cammy.❤❤❤
I met you at ayr show n saw myself back on a wee bit of vlog , realisation hit and at 180kg just like DD I'm now on a journey to drop weight, mibby by lambing 2024 I'll be fit enough to have a lambing experience day , that's the plan .... 😁
Oh Cammy! My aging nurse back hurt as you twisted and bent ti safely shear that massive guy. Overwhelmingly impressed. The ram seemed a bit more laid back than other sheep I’ve seen you around, or is that my imagination? Well done Cammy, and what a privilege to get to do that. I’ve learned so much about sheep from you….not that I’ll ever have any practical use. Lovely to have this knowledge how important caring well for you animals is! From Nashville….
Amazing shearing such a huge heavy beastie sheep. Getting educated about different sheep breeds. Thank you!
Gee Cammy! That was a massive young boy! I can’t imagine how nervous you would have been, not only the price tag on him but the size of him too. Thank you. ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Yay! The one I've been waiting for! This has been my favorite breed ever since you showed us the Texel sale, and this fella is so handsome! If I'm ever in the position to have a handful of sheep, this is what I want! And I'll probably spend all of my spare time out in the pasture just hugging them all! 💖🐑🐏😁
Also, keep the puns and the Dad jokes coming! The cornier the better!
I was on the edge of my set watching that.what a monster well done Cammyx
WOW! Now that was a GIGANTIC shearing! Gold Star for the day!!
Your shearing was exceeded only by your skills in keeping him calm and comfortable!

The one thing I notice in most of your videos is that you pick the entire sheep up off the ground to lay it down. As a 5 foot tall woman who used to have 75 sheep and sheared all my own, I can tell you there are easier ways to lay a sheep down that don't require picking them up! In a long day, that kind of excess energy expenditure can really wear you down.
But... but.... it looks so manly for the videos.
Such a beautiful ram!
That was an excellent job Cammy but next time please don’t wear that top with the straps hanging down. I was having a nervous attack thinking that they would get caught in the razor any minute!
Thanks for always giving us such good videos you are the best!
Exactly!
Didn't even notice...too nervous! 🫣👍
Well done big man, my back would jiggered just getting him ready, never mind shearing 🐑👍
🙏💜. Thank you so much Cammy
i was laughing so hard as you barely had control, he was so meek, he could have kicked your ass anytime
Cammie, thank you for being such a doll baby! The care you have shown Fiona and this sheep, is so amazing. Please share my love with Lizzy and the boys. XOXO The Naughty Nana in Oklahoma.
He’s got a beautiful nature too.
What a fantastic animal 👍
Some serious skill being applied here Cammy……great job …I m sure your chat kept him calm…lovely piece of work
That's some Ram Cammy, pure power and so tough to shear.
His wool looks really fluffy and soft on the inside.
Cammy your strings dangling down.😂 I was waiting for you to cut into one of them. What a beautiful big guy he was.
Well done, Cammy! I was gripping my phone really tightly as you were struggling with the big DD. He's so handsome.😂
What an honor(?) to be trusted to shear the most expensive sheep/ ram. That looked so painful on your part, I was feeling a little way over here in California in the USA. it was quite entertaining to watch and listen to.
my grandparents had the worlds best wool 7 years in a row but that is a crazy sheep
Great job with that big guy, Cammy!
WOW, what an honour! and a workout! Very impressive!
Absolute unit
That is one absolutely massive ram. Wow
He's gorgeous.
What a beautiful boy and you too . 🐑
Well done Cammy. I never thought a sheep could do with a bulls nose ring, but DD maybe the first. What a stud.
Amazing shearing job Cammie! Wow amazing ram. He’s just awesome I could feel your nerves and how hard it was to hold him, but you did it with such style respect and strength! Thanks Cammie, I love seeing all the different breeds. I’m following right through. Hugs and best wishes to your sweet family!
wow what a unit!!!! he is absolutely massive!! how did you get the gig? not bad at all for swinging that one! and you know what makes the videos enjoyable is your honesty, you really let us know how tough it is, really helps to appreciate the job you do!
He's a brute, for sure! Good job, Cammy, love watching you in action.😉
Wow! I have tiny bit of experience cleaning up some discarded wool back in my needle felting phase - that fleece looks incredible! Like drifts of snow! Greetings from Seattle, USA.
Wow great job! I'm exhausted just watching you.
He’s a beauty. His fleece looked wonderful
wow, that was one impressive specimen. What a gorgeous boy, well done on the shearing, dont know how you held him to do it!
When it comes to shearing rams, I always think of Stewie Griffin from Family Guy when he asked Brian "Would you please shave my coin purse?" for his bits. 😂👛
How beautiful is that snowy white undercoat! 😊
The string on your hoodie was making me nervous. 🫣
He's like the King Charles of Scottish Sheep 😲🐑🏴🤴
Great to see him looking well.
Wow what a great episode 👏 good job nerve racking stuff right there!
Another great shear Cammy. Thanks for sharing it with us. What I want to know is - how were your muscles the next day? You must have ached everywhere it is possible to ache!
💪💪💪
What a beautiful tup. That was a workout.❤️👍👍
I shear did enjoy the video 🤣🥰
🤣🤣👏🏻
He’s a huge ram!!! Great job shearing him!
Wow what a beautiful sheep. I will be honest on two points one, I'd love to felt with his wool and second, just for my worry level could you please tuck the strings from your jumper in. Maybe I am too health and safety mad, but better to be safe than sorry. :)
Wow.. congrats! That was great!
AWWWWW!!! I wished We could have seen what happened after you let him go!!! Was DD given a bath afterward?
Loved it! what a beast
Great episode!
