ABOUT ME
I’m 34 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 KZbin 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 and one incredible girl, Bonnie. You will see them all on this channel!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

Thank you for keeping in that totally heartmelting moment when Jock points to your legs and says "Daddy, long legs!" I love the way kids play with words and meanings!

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

I wish someone had given me a maggot to hold when I was little. If they had, I probably would not be so creeped out by them now. Your boys and Bonnie have the best classroom and teachers.❤❤️❤️ It cracks me up when the sheep just randomly leap into the air.

[@duckpond7856]

My daughter (who is 40) is still pissed off at me for getting her to hold a giant cockroach at the local fair. Can't imagine what she would say if I had given her maggots to hold!

[@wandablanchet7966]

They freak me out bad

[@karendemorrow5355]

I Love the way you teach and encourage your children. You do so amazing with them

[@heathergingrich6170]

I loved Lizzie's SURE to another one...she's an awesome mom, partner...lol Cammie you lucked out😊

[@patpierce4854]

Me too!!! I mean, another bonnie wee girl would mean the ratios were balanced - so Lizzie and Bonnie wouldn’t be outnumbered in “toilet seat up, toilet seat down” household debate🤣🤣🤣 I’m outnumbered in my family, and if anyone is going to get caught by the seat in the wrong position, it’s me!🤣🤣

[@lisasmart1929]

😂😂Same! I’ve got 3 brothers (one has passed since) and I have 2 sons (and hubby)…...been outnumbered all my life!😂😂

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

I love that y'all let Jock spray that lamb and your patience letting him try and try. Angus snuggles with the wool was adorable.

[@l.m.4014]

Jock: "Look Gran"....I got a Maggot." @9:50 The look on Joy's face is priceless! Love seeing Gran in the videos. The boys are blessed to have her for a Grandma.

[@margaret8056]

CAMMY WHAT A AWESOME PARTNER YOU HAVE

[@lenagordon9349]

I love watching your parenting, both of you show endless patience and your boys have so much desire to work through problems and help. Give it a couple of years and they'll be a huge help making up for the extra time you spend now. So enjoyable to watch.

[@karendemorrow5355]

Amen ❤

[@trishhartland5156]

I love your videos like this. The education you are giving your children is absolutely fantastic. I’m sure they already know more about farming sheep than I ever will. It’s brilliant to see kids being kids allowed to figure things out & have a go at everything ❤

[@erinurbanus1858]

One of my old family dogs got fly strike once. We didn't know until my dad heard her softly whining at night. He screamed for everyone to get up and went into panic mode. Hauled her into the bathtub and we spent the next hour removing maggots. Then she went to the vet, got shaved, and they found a few more. Poor girl. 🤢

[@philomenahearn1717]

I had the same thing but my poor border collie got blood poisoning and died as a consequence. It was very very sad. He lived outdoors (his choice) and had a very thick coat and although he was brushed and gussed every day we just didn’t see it until too late.

[@l.m.4014]

@@philomenahearn1717 Heartbreaking. You guys had no way of knowing. I never heard of fly strike until now.

[@OxxFreddyGlasgow.]

I love the way you teach your kids everything. You include them in everything. They have to be the most loved kids I know. Lizzie has a great eye for the animals. Miss’s nothing.

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Your new buggy is great for the growing family. And it’s so clean. Hope you’re feeling well.👍🙏🇺🇸🐑

[@Amanda-yf7vj]

Hahahahaa it so clean for now!!! Just wait about a month!!!

[@nancybannerman1224]

Your patience when Jock was spraying the sheep was incredible. You both gave him guidance but still let him attempt it on his own. Then, when you let him hold the maggots to learn. A lot of city slicker wouldn't let their kids touch it at all. You both make great parents. The stuff you use to attack the maggots is amazing stuff. You don't need to use a lot, but the maggots sure don't like it. I never had a problem with fly strike when I had sheep. I live in Alberta, Canada, weather different from yours. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.😊 🇨🇦

[@georginaturner1237]

We're still on watch for fly strike in the horses here in cork, evil affliction. We're getting a few colder nights now so hopefully it will ease. Love seeing you working as a family, the boys' determination to help is great to see, as is your patience and guidance. Good to see your mum too! ❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

I noticed last time that Bonny has what my daughter’s doctor called a stork bite. My daughter had one right between her eyes and it eventually faded away. You could never tell that she had one, she’s all grown up now , but I just wanted to share that little bit of information with you, I’m sure you know that though. Bonny is a beautiful little girl. And I hope that she keeps her red hair. Two of my granddaughters have beautiful red hair. I’m wondering if it is a Scottish trait because my husband is 3/4 Scottish so maybe it was somehow passed down the line. The two granddaughters are one each from my two daughters so I’m hoping somehow the Scottish was passed down. 🎃🍁💚🙃

[@judyphillips7892]

The whole happy family 😊. You always bring a smile to my heart.💖

[@akantiia]

Good catch on the flystrike there, was very funny that Jock was so thrilled to hold a maggot 😂 Congrats on taking second and third in the game there!

[@patsyolson9243]

Poor little lamb, 😢 I'm so glad that Lizzy saw the fly strike before it was hurting them.

[@Baldevi]

LOL Cammy, you are in trouble, I think Lizzy wants a second Girl, to balance out the boys and so she and those daughters can create a White Dorset Dynasty! Loved the game at the end, I couldn't do it due to back injuries, but it looks fun! Glad the Lambs are being spotted and treated for fly strike, UGH, that's such a nightmare. Belived it or not, out German Sheppard had a very mild case of Fly Strike, here in South-West Virginia, US! His bum is very shaggy, and we had to comb his butt every hour, we used an herbal oil on his fur and skin, and it worked really well, he was fine in about 3 days. [We used a topical oil of Thyme, and Calendula oil to help hydrate his skin after the Thyme started to dry him out too much.]

Always a fun post from you guys……love the interaction with the family, teaching and letting the boys help out……they’ll definitely be big helpers when they get older!🥰

[@amandadouthwaite1863]

A great video Cammy and Lizzy, i just love watching Jock and Angus helping you, they are coming on so well. Jock did really well with that blue spray bless him it's not easy to point, press, and aim when your 3 😁👏 great job Jock 👏. Angus watches him so closely, learning from his big brother soon you will just have to supervise them Cammy while they do all the work 😊. Lizzy's response to filling the empty seat was no suprise lol she is just a natural mother who takes everything in her stride you could eventually end up with ...a "sheep game" football team! 😂. The daddy long legs bit was just so cute 🥰. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful family, dogs and flock with us. Also congrats on your new wheels 🛞 its very smart but not for long with poop going in the back . Now it looks like a proper farmers' motor now 🤣 Take care 💜

[@philipbarrett3151]

I read a fascinating book written by a Vet working in remote West Texas from the early part of the 20th century onwards. Unlike the subjects of myth and fable riding the open range, it turns out that old-time cowboys spent most of their days dealing with flystrike too!

[@PopcornSonata]

Angus is already becoming a true middle child. Forgotten by Dad back in the truck.

[@hayleywilson6138]

And uncomplaining about it! 😂

[@gregedmand9939]

Spotty is really turning out to be a star. He's lost most of his early nervousness around people and grown very confident in his own abilities. It's a real pleasure to watch a working dog enjoying his profession. How is Meg enjoying her retirement? We see you allow her to participate once in a while but age sweeps up on dogs so quickly. We have to remind ourselves that time advances much more quickly for them. Is Fern still coming along as you hoped, or is training time very hard to come by?

[@marmalademomzyboop8975]

Thanks for sharing. The family buggy looks great, even if you christianed with dung. Lovely look at family day with friends.

[@GMMedic]

I would just lay a tarp in the back of the truck! You just tie off the top of the sheet to something solid and drive out. The tarp rolls the muck right out and the truck stays clean! Easy peasy.

[@Annie6460]

Poor lambies with the fly strike! Must be so uncomfortable and painful for them. Jock and Angus are very busy little helpers❤. Looking forward to number 4’s announcement 😂😂😂😂! Lizzy is keen❤️. Iona did very well with the bag tossing considering it was her first go.❤️🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ll be chuckling for hours as I remember the children excitedly shouting, “Maggots! Maggots!”. I used to act the same about corn worms. 😂

[@sueg1530]

Really clear how your boys have different personalities, mine have too. Being a middle child myself, please dont let Angus get left behind unintentionally of course.Maybe 4 is a better number eh Lizzie?😅😅

Nah, it isn't as big as a dragonfly, it's "proper" name is a crane fly.

[@vwvw4]

Fishermen love a good maggot, could be a new income source! Do they have blades for CF Moto? Would be handy for cleaning your concrete. Kid seats will definitely give the boys more opportunity to snooze, as the bare seat doesn't look overly appealing for nap time.

Hi cammy this is not a criticism but when lambs get to that size and they start barging about 40 kilo of lamb flying through the air can do a lot of damage to an adult never mind a small child sometimes there safer in the buggy nevertheless it great to see all the family involved .please stay safe .

When you say to market, Does that mean to Auction for the food chain? I've not had lamb to eat before except once in a stew that was Not good, so I never wanted to try it again.

Hey…you said a Daddy Long Legs was a fly. In North America, a Daddy Long Legs is a spider. Cool, eh?

[@patpierce4854]

Actually, on the US side of the pond, there is an insect occasionally called the daddy long legs fly, or crane fly. Like the ones in the UK, they are harmless to people. It’s lucky the daddy long legs arachnids (not really spiders) have very tiny mouthparts, too tiny to bite a human - because their venom is quite serious.
