A HUNG LAMB AND I'M NOT SURE I CAN GET IT OUT ALIVE! | Vlog 8 - Lambing 2021

[@nanalesa24]

My word I've never seen a lamb so stuck, I held my breath. I've never seen someone put a whole skin on a lamb. So much information in one video.

[@scottp7874]

Cammy you are very good at lambing 🐑

He didn’t have the birthing fluids to put on the adoptee lamb, so he used the skin.

[@nataliewales898]

Thanks for letting the twins and Mollie be part of the sheep game! We just love it. Good memories for the kids to look back on x

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks for letting James come out to play 🥰😁

[@mcmurphy5]

The children were lovely😍 , Cutest and funniest part of that video!

my grandson is two and loves to feed our dwarf goats...and screams back in "their talk" when they bleat.

Cammy. You are going to be an outstanding father. What a joy to see you engage with those beautiful kids. Have a fantastic day. 🇨🇦❤️🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

[@mcmurphy5]

Jesus well done on getting that hung lamb out, that's showed your skill and experience there, no fair weather farming there! We all kick ourselves over missing things during lambing, tiredness kicks in and work load is heavy and things get missed. But you do your best and keep going 👍

[@kathyk479]

At least the little lamb is helping an other find a mom

[@MetaMorphea]

OMG! Cliffhanger moment. Cant wait to see if that lamb makes it now.

[@tanyajenkins919]

I am enjoying lambing season with you . Glad Sandi Brock told me of your sheep channel

[@99037149]

Microwaved medium rare lamb..... 🤣 🤣 🤣 Memories of having lambs warming by the rayburn.

[@lois4329]

I was just about to say that Sandi Brock has shown us about every scenario possible during lambing and low and behold you called her name for her “Nanny Machine”. Hope you can get one going too. What a great sheep farmer and educator you are. Thank you. Never seen the skinning, that is amazing. 😉

[@wildwindfarm1279]

It’s a good practice to take temperature on unresponsive lambs before hot box some will need IP glucose first. Cheers, you’re in the heat of battle now lad. Love watching.

[@eofolk7754]

Agree, but if it's just out of mum you'd know it's warm yes?

[@wildwindfarm1279]

We don’t always know exactly when they were born. If it’s pretty newly born but limp as a rag unable to hold its head up it can be dead in a half hour in cold or wet weather. It will still have brown fat and can be warmed up then tubed. If over 5 hrs old, temp below 37C and unable to hold it’s head up it should get glucose in the body cavity. Thermometers are cheap and it only takes seconds to see where the lamb is at. I wasn’t being critical of Cammy, he’s making good job of it and had some good saves. Just putting it out there as some born a while will need the shot before warming or they’ll have a hypoglycaemic fit and die.

[@eofolk7754]

@@wildwindfarm1279My apologies, I replied before finishing the video, I thought it was the one just born you were referring to. Great info, cheers.

This video taught us your tell, when you get quiet, there's trouble. What a day! Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@jmurray236]

Better than bbc lambing live Cammy. Top job.

[@wendyrowland7787]

The thing is with lambing live and country file, they often interfere just for the camera when the ewe is doing fine. The best lambing live was the Scottish one. I was very impressed with the whole set up.

[@cindysue5902]

Robbie's sigh was funny. Harry complaining of a sore back, I'm dying LOL

[@lizhrubik3936]

Thanks for sharing the good and the bad. That’s life, right. Wonderful getting to know the next generation of Sheep men and women. Thanks for caring so much about your animals.💐

[@cindyboard7816]

Great video Cammy!!!!! Thank you for sharing all sides of the story!!!! Farming is a tough life, notice I didn't say job!! No 9 to 5 in farming, the animals set the hours. The most important trait of a good farmer is caring about the animals. It is easily seen that you truly care for your sheep!!!! Stay safe and best wishes for smooth sailing!!!🐑

[@marlenegardner2696]

Smiled when you mentioned Sandy Brock, I love watching her channel, have only just found yours, so I now have double the joy of watching lambs being born.😊

[@paddy294]

Very good video cammy. A true reflection of the good and the bad of what happens on a farm especially when you have sheep

[@someonerandom6379]

Don’t be so tough on yourself cammy, the sheep game is never 100% we can only do our best. It’s a tough time of year without enough hours in the day, you did a great job on the stuck lamb.

[@jimmynicolson3214]

Loving these lambing vlogs, Cammy. I've been lambing outdoors for years but it's great to see how you are doing it. So much better than Lambing Live on the TV with terrific non scripted commentary. Real human touch too with those children.

[@TheSheepGame]

Cheers Jimmy and thanks for becoming a member I appreciate the support!

[@ronaldbarrett9148]

A lot in this Video. Real life view of sheep farming. Thanks for showing the hard stuff. Also for discussing the breeding impact on lambing . Better days for you. Great seeing the children.

[@terrimills8609]

Catching up on your older videos. The kids (lambs and children) are precious! ❤

[@anneta71]

Excellent work Cammy, glad you've got some good people around you to help. With the colder nights at the mo looks like you'll have some more 4.30am starts. At this time of year the day is not long enough and the sleep is a lot less if at all some nights. Take care and take the rest when you can. 🤗

[@zoerochelle]

Wow. That was intense. Thank you for showing the entire pulling of that stuck lamb.

[@paulettemcwaters8557]

Such a challenging birth, great patience, you did not give up even with the struggle, great job, God bless

[@briannachapin5156]

Great saving of 2 lambs Cammie. I was especially praying for the stuck lamb. Glad to see it made it.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Brianna, was a pretty tough one but with the lamb that got stuck.

[@ruthgallant6047]

Wow, never saw such a hard birth. My toes were curling when you were pulling. Good job getting the lamb out. Whatever the outcome, it had to be pulled. 🇨🇦👏🏻🍻

[@requelleclement1181]

So authentic! Thank you for sharing the good, the bad, the tragic and the miraculous!

It’s refreshing to see someone giving an honest look at farm life. Thanks!

[@teresamason3930]

Those children are absolutely adorable 🥰!

[@popcod]

Cammy, that scene with the hog was brutal; my heart was in my throat up until the lamb appeared. Many thanks for sharing the whole event. Felt a bit of an emotional toll once it was over. Good on you for working so hard to help the poor thing. I can't help but imagine the emotional impact it must take on you in those events. How frequent do lambs get that stuck? Would you expect another incident before lambings over? Thanks again for showing both the rough and the smooth. Hammers it home how difficult a time lambing is. Did notice the multiple layers of merch going on! Will have to indulge in some SheepGame kit myself. Kind regards.

[@ChristophersMum]

Gosh that was like an episode from E.R. ...but you did win the day...look forward to the next one

[@TheLdoggett]

I keep admiring the thick fleece that gives you something to grab when you are chasing them. Your dog, Nick? Mick? is a joy to watch.

[@TheSheepGame]

Aye the fleece does help a bit when catching, would be a different game if they were shorn before lambing, Meg is the dog and she is a great help at lambing time

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

great job of helping that stuck lamb birth. I’m so glad YT doesn’t block the birthing! Great to watch!🦌💌❤️🐑

[@melissajarvis4829]

If he does a lot of them, they will. They won't let Sandi, of Sheepishly Me show hardly anything now. Same for some other channels. It does seem to help if they put a warning screen in, but maybe they still lose monetization?

[@carolilseanne2175]

Bless her, backing away from her lamb in case it tries to go back! ❤❤ Happy to she she and the lamb survived ❤❤

[@Schoonebeekers]

What a vlog Cammy, the longest so far, everything came by, good and bad. Every lamb that dies shouldn't have been, but it happens, that's farming as you say it in the 🇬🇧. I also experienced this year, you cannot get up early enough, they lambs at the craziest time 🕓. Sometimes I think: they do it for it, bully farmer😴 😂. Also thought, that lamb is dead (stiff) clearly needed 🌞, but you shouldn't overdo it Cammy 🔥. You can use a radiant heater in your case? or hair dryer, but not warmer than 40 degrees Celsius. Perhaps a bucket of warm water would have been enough in this case too? Another tricky case, lamb is stuck with its head, without legs, in the birth canal. Typical case with the Texel. Not enough workspace, especially with hoggets. You can place the 🐑 with his butt on a platform (bale of straw / fence), but if that would have mattered to this sheep? who knows. Sometimes saw a vet do that. At least you did it 👍. First point after lambing, tearing teats, have the lambs been drinking? Sometimes the lock hole is so closed that it becomes a difficult task for them. Maybe get a little tricky if they walk outside and they are a little skittish. PS. nice to see that you involve the youth, you know, don't let them do heavy labor 🤣🤣🤣

[@sabinevomlande]

Hey Cammy, thank you for sharing the good and the bad with us. I appreciate your videos so much.

[@danamama6766]

The little ones made me smile, nothing better than how their little minds think sometimes :) And after that birth oh my gosh that Mum still taking to the baby was really beautiful. Big baby for sure. And wow that was nothing I would have ever thought of or heard of but to put her babies skin on another well it certainly did work. You do a lot Cammy, so do not be so hard on yourself. :)

[@TheSheepGame]

Aye, even for hog it was great to see her love her lamb after such a tricky birth and now they are thriving out in the field 👍

[@danamama6766]

[@stephanieg5336]

I love that you watch Sandi too :) small sheepish world. When he said “my back hurts” I laughed sooooo cute! You did a good job, can’t win them all. I was impressed with that pull, I was wondering if you were going to do an emergency C-section due to it being so stuck.

[@TheSheepGame]

A great channel Sandi has. That's definitely true in farming about not being able to win them all but we do the best we can. I was a tough one for this young sheep but amazing how they recovered and are doing so well out in the field, will try and catch up with them if I spot them on my rounds.

[@laightnightknits4358]

[@michaelgriffiths6395]

Another great vid showing the ups and downs of lambing , you need eyes in the back of your head to keep watch on them

[@annemcrae8245]

Thank you for showing all sides of lambing Used to lamb sheep inside in Aberdeenshire. All the best for the rest of your planning. Love your videos.

[@pegschweizer886]

Tough day Cammy ! Great lambing skills. What a hard delivery!

[@deedawson6074]

Well done Cammy. I once had a ewe with what turned out to be triplets. She birthed a single at 8am in the paddock but appeared to be uncomfortable for the rest of the day. I had no way to get to her till my son and husband came home for dinner. We cornered her and I delivered Siamese twins that we dead. (Joined at the belly, like a mirror image of each other) She trotted of with her single and was as right as rain. People wondered how I ever got them out. I cleaned them and froze them and posted them to a University for an autopsy study which they really appreciated. All very interesting. They even sent me the results from the student. What an effort you did Cam. Hat off to you.

[@sallyidol6281]

Wow, this sheep is not even bleating loud, I am sitting here winching for her. 😂 Poor baby.

[@Cricket-zp6wi]

I thought for sure that stuck lamb had 2 heads! I'm glad you were able to get the lamb out in 1 piece! I hope there's a happily-ever-after ending for this pair.

[@TheSheepGame]

Just the one head on this one, both bounced back from the tough birth super quick and are doing great out in the field, will try and catch up with them when we're out feeding.

[@moyrawoodward2291]

I live in Durban, South Africa- overlooking the Indian Ocean -- not a sheep in sight. But I’m hooked on your show. Well done to you and your team Cammie.

[@carolilseanne2175]

Bless him, what a morning born freezing and then somebody scoops you up, shoves a plastic tube down your throat then tries to cook you! 🤗

[@suzannerichmond8677]

Thank you Cammy for sharing all the bad parts... we had a first time ewe lamb the other day, and when I found the twins they were dead. I didn’t think she was quite that close to lambing, and was so upset that I hadn’t been checking her a bit more often. I thought cause I had not known, the lambs died from not getting their colostrum, but I see from your video, that lambs can go a fair time without before it’s too late. I am starting to wonder if she slipped them a bit too early and they were already weak or silly. Thank you for being so candid. I was really beating myself up, but I see it’s not my inexperience that was the issue. I just need to learn from it and get on, no excuses. Bless you, and your lovely family/friends. 🙏💖

[@staceyrashkin2609]

Sandi Brock got a really neat tool. It's a handheld milker 4 sheep. That way she could get the colostrum right off of the mom if she was taking care of the Lamb herself.

[@dreamcatcher3861]

Lambing is sometimes a brutal business, is what I get from it. I say this as a nurse and a mom. How well that mom endured the whole thing. Wow. That skin that you put on that lamb was the greatest thing ever!

Now THAT'S a trick I've NEVER saw before!!! Absolutely AMAZING!! It makes so much sense. But I just never thought of it. And so sad as it may be, it's one life losing life. Yet it brings another a whole new life! Quite lovely when you think about it that way. Cammy. I started following you from Hoof GP!! I must say you're absolutely amazing at what you do! You have SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE to teach and share with the world! So thankful I was introduced tob your channel! Great Big Hugs from Seattle Washington

We are always learning with sheep, it's a great industry to be in. Thanks for coming to have a look at the channel, a few vlogs for you to watch there.

[@wendyrowland7787]

Those children are just adorable. Here she goes again, I would have made an episiotomy on the hung lamb, just enough to break the tension, and if the chord was still intact, leave the lamb attached for a moment to give it better chance of survival. Ask your vet about giving intraperitoneal glucose to a cold unresponsive lamb as it will prevent it from dying from hypoglycaemic shock once it is warmed up. I agree with the advice, I have had people buy my 3/4 Texel ewelambs, sold with the advice not to lamb them as ewelambs, but they go ahead with a Texel tup and then complain that my stock was crap because they didn’t cope with the impossible.

[@magsprettejohn2160]

And having the logic and knowledge of the nesscesity to skin a dead lamb so another has a chance...wow. I'm am just blown away. Farming is NO JOKE. I hope you can catch up on sleep soon. 🙏

Thanks Alison, it was quite a tricky birth but it is surprising how much the lambs can take and then be up and drinking 10mins later. Every lamb would love a mum, so we try our best to adopt on if we need, they do so much better too.

You do so much and having to run to fields and the barn in surprised you don't miss more. You have a sharp eye for things that are wrong but it's hard to tell if the lambs ate or not unless you can get real close and you can't with the sheep in the field so it's not your fault at all. Mum would have run away had you tried to get closer so you wouldn't have seen it. Great job on getting that lamb out that was a real hard one. Glad not all are like that one
