ABOUT ME
I’m 31 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 850 breeding ewes.
I shore over 19,000 sheep this season in the UK and have my own shearing run which lets you see many different farms in the summer months.
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!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

Not scanning your own sheep is like the cobbler whose children go barefoot.

[@TheSheepGame]

🤣😂🤣😁🤣 great line!

[@middlekingdomfarmrebeccapa5035]

I am also a scanner and missed scanning my early group. I think it is a disease. 😊

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@staceyrashkin2609]

Rofl. That's the truth.

[@thisoldnurse1521]

You know I had a fantastic hair stylist but his own hair? Holy crap 💩 he used to say he was so busy couldn’t get his own cut.

[@illusc]

Appreciate the on screen explanations of your sheep terminology! 👍🏼

[@tgooding]

I hope you are feeling better soon. It's amazing you're sick & still out there protecting your lambs from birds & dogs. Take care.

[@magsprettejohn2160]

Great video, well done for powering on through, hope you feel better soon. No matter how hard you try to educate people about dogs and farmland and farm animals, there are always those who think it doesn't apply to them, he was a prime example.

[@jodiely7983]

Sending you well wishes and positive vibes that lambing goes well and you get back to 100% with your health. I cannot understand why a man would be “walking” a large pack of dogs unleashed unless he was up to no good. Meg handled herself well and the sheep moving to new pasture looked like it was easy as pie. Lizzie and Jock are looking healthy and happy 😃

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Shame that the poacher, er dog walker, was not informed that the farmer has the legal right to shoot all those dogs for being on his land and a danger to his sheep.

[@ragnkja]

If that had been in Norway (assuming this was filmed the day before it was published) he’d literally be breaking the law by not keeping the dogs leashed. Only working dogs on active duty (like Meg when she’s herding) are allowed off the leash where they could disturb livestock or wild animals between the 1st of April and the 20th if August.

[@annetivendale8616]

So sad that some people still seem to think it’s ok to have their dogs off leash when near sheep at lambing time! That “plonker” needs “the book” thrown at him!!! Think I’d have lost the plot at him Cammy.You dealt with that confrontation like a true pro.💙

[@WhirlyPearly]

Great video, we hope you are feeling better very soon. The sad thing about people and their dogs is the owners need the training to control their dogs. I’ve seen it so many times. My corgi and I were attacked by a German Shepard when she was 18 months. She was leashed and the GSD was not. I covered her body with mine and kicked at the dog. It’s owners said “he’s never done that before!” They called him, never offered help, no sorry and after the waiting list for the Orthopaedic Surgeon shoulder surgery. Pearl has an intense fear of big dogs. Irresponsible owners! Feel better and good luck with the rest of your lambing

[@TheSheepGame]

Sorry to hear that! They always use that same line but they never listen when u try to tell then before it happens😩

[@pamelapilling6996]

Love how you describe the moms and babies. I once was helping when the cows were calving. Came across a cow that was tryin to give birth with her feet stuck up the hill. It was horrible what the birds had done to the partially emerged calf.

[@heathergourlay8420]

You and Meg moving those sheep calmly down the road! Just marvellous.

[@Teeniebfable]

I've actually met this chap with his dogs down at the Caprington estate. His dogs were not well behaved or under proper control and kept running at our two. I'm glad there was no damage done by his dogs. Hop you feel much better soon Cammie.

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah we’ve heard multiple stories like that! A couple walked past with their dog on lead while I was there and two of his dogs ran over to them and I could see they were visibly frightened by it. He’s bad news 👍

[@GotAnUmbrella]

@@TheSheepGame I have dogs and people like that riffle my feathers. I live near horses and I know the rules leashes on and muzzles at the ready for the safety of all!

[@marleneclough3173]

Heavens how many digs does he have?

[@gregedmand9939]

Sorry but dog ownership needs to be far more regulated, especially in farming communities. The damage something even the size of a terrier can inflict on livestock - and themselves in the process - is beyond most owner's imaginations. They are predators barely removed from their wolf ancestors. It takes very little for that instinct to be triggered in an unleashed animal. Anyone who thinks the lovely dog who clicks their face, can be controlled one that "persuit" instinct is triggered in an untrained dog, is a fool.

[@rgober60]

Prayers that you are back to normal soon Cammie. It's okay to feel sorry for yourself every now and again. Just don't squat on that. Bless Lizzie for having a hard time of it also. Be safe young man. Blessings to you and the family 🙏 💜 🕊 ✝️

[@paddy294]

Cracking video as always cammy. Hope you’re feeling better. You have a good woman there in Lizzie. She’s a gem. It’s disgraceful how some people have no respect for other people’s livestock. They just let their dog’s roam however they like

[@cher1894]

Nice quad bike & will be so handy. Great job Meg! Get well soon Cammy & hope the wee lamb recovers quickly.

[@robertgraham6053]

Cammy my family and myself had the covid this past week. Just starting to get energy back 7 days on.. like you I have neighboring dogs. It is a worry I know. I had a super pedigree Suffolk pet ewe called Lizzy 🙈 lost an eye to a Graycrow when 11 months old, blinded one side but Lizzy is still with us lambing ever year. She had her work cutout with triplets keeping her one eye on them this year. Hope the energy comes back for your lambing season. Get on the Vitamins to boost you 👍👍cheers Rab.

[@TheSheepGame]

Cheers Rab! It’s fair knocked the stamina out me. Takes me an hour to recover from chasing a ewe 🥵

[@jerilynrobertson646]

Hope you fully recover quickly. I love seeing the newborn lambs. Thanks for pushing yourself and taking/posting video. Take care.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

I am so sorry to hear you have been sick. I hope you are feeling much better. So good to see how you and Meg move those sheep so calmly. The lambs look great! Jock is growing like a weed and is such a lovely baby! Hoping you, Lizzy and Jock have a great spring lambing season. Those dogs could cause a.huge problem. I hope the man doesn’t bring them there again. 👍👍😁❤️❤️❤️

[@pike_dave]

Hope you make a speedy recovery! Looking forward to seeing all your videos this lambing season

[@rossrichards7959]

Gidday Cammie, Sorry to see you knocked back by the covid. It is finally spreading here in NZ but our valley has avoided it so far. We are in the middle of tupping as you start lambing, hope all goes well for you, Lizzie and Wee Jock. A handy addition in that quad, but if I can offer a word of warning, you would be wise to cover the rear carrier so that Meg doesn't catch a leg as she jumps (or falls off, with the speed you drive !) I have had a dog break a leg when exactly that happened with an uncovered carrier. We use thick rubber matting, it gives the dogs good grip and is more comfortable for humans to sit on than bare steel as well.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Ross, appreciate the support. Yeah i’m going to get some rubber matting on it! Keep meg off my seat!😅

[@Connor6569]

You'll only need to worry if you've been vaccinated otherwise its not even a cold mate

[@hollyjensen2371]

farmers don"t get a break just because you get sick. Kudos for still making a video on top of every thing else. Hope Lizzie and Jock stay healthy and you are back up and at it with your usual energy soon. Love lambing videos.

[@boba9253]

Rough time with so much going on and you are still recovering. Hope that proceeds more easily. Looking forward to seeing the lambing videos to come!

[@tammykaltreider]

Love lambing season! You look tired Cammy…get some rest. Hoping for a very quick recovery. Seriously though…GET SOME REST 😊🐑🐏💙 #Makingfarmingcoolagain

[@lauriecollins413]

Glad to hear you are on the mend from COVID just in time for lambing season!

[@kate2gt5]

We know Lizzie is the one who has the brains and ideas that you should just let her organize what she wants, the woman is always right 😉

[@TheSheepGame]

I’m not sure how i coped before i met her 🤣

[@Finallyretired2022]

You’re my kind of gentlemen! Knowing where and how your bread’s buttered as my gran used to say !! Lol

[@lappmarksweden4582]

​@@TheSheepGameThat's a good question 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Prayers for your health and blessings to Lizzie and Jock. 🙏🙏🤒🤒💕💕

[@chichitex1252]

I love the videos! Thank you for taking the time to film for us!❤❤❤

[@traceymcclymont7175]

Cammy, you sure are knocking these vlogs out of the park!!❤ ( Even when you are feeling miserable!!🤒!!) "Mother nature can be cruel" , is such a nice thing to say, probably the complete opposite to what we were all thinking!!😠 , remember you can bleep words out!! As for that ' dog walker ', well never mind bleeping my words out, as they just fail me, ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Thanks Cammy, a great balance of emotions the video evoked. Hope the family are coping and are well, the little lamb recovered, Meg is good and you are keeping the quad bike clean, 😂😂😂!!!

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Tracey! Meg has made a good job of getting the bike seat dirty so i’ll need to sort her a platform!

[@elizabeththomson2579]

I know how you feel Cammy, I am currently isolating at home with my husband as we both have Covid. Like you I am glad that we have had the vaccine. Wishing you well in your recovery. Brilliant job moving the sheep, you and Meg are a great working team. Lovely to see Lizzie and wee Jock 💙💙

[@ErinandtheCity]

Love that you have pop ups boxes with info or definitions. Super helpful for us citified folks!

[@nanalesa24]

So sorry you are feeling bad, prayers for speedy recovery. That pack of dogs was scary, hopefully the lambs will be safe from them. Hello Lizzy and Jock, always wonderful to see them.

[@cherylmacnutt2686]

Take care of yourself Cammy….great video as usual…thank you!

[@karangooch1274]

Get better soon 😊 I really appreciate the effort you put in while unwell

[@groveayrshires410]

I love these vids I’m so happy there back

[@Ilistraful]

I'm excited for lambing videos! Hope you continue to feel better.

[@shammamurphy4172]

Feel better, thank you for making these amazing videos, I have learned so much from you, incredible.

[@adventureswithmawmawtina4879]

Prayers 🙏 you recover speedily and a great lambing season

[@georginaturner1237]

Get well soon hun. It never ceases to both amaze and exasperate me that people are so ignorant of what their 'pets' can do. They were some serious dogs he had there, a German shepherds, bully type breeds and what looked to me like a malinois. They're really not breeds to mess about with, that's a tragedy waiting to happen....😔

[@classicambo9781]

Aye and uncut too like the moron didn't have enough dogs as it is...

[@vickijones3660]

Prayers and best wishes for a quick and complete recovery. So sorry you have to deal with this.

[@OrWhatWeHave]

Just discovered you through Tom Scott and am absolutely living for this top content

[@TheSheepGame]

Thank you!

[@1striperon]

Wow! Meg you are a “Superdog.” Thanks for the tour, Sean.

[@akoilady9097]

Hope you recover soon! Thanks so much for filming on top of everything! That man with the dogs was infuriating. So sorry you have to deal with that. Take care!

[@Finallyretired2022]

Yeah !! I’m so excepted about lambs ❤️ Been there w Covid ! Prayers for healing. 🙏 Happy Birthday Louis 🎂🎉

[@jillnesbitt113]

A good preview to this years lambing. Look forward to more . Hope you feel better soon!! 🇨🇦

[@shawnwales696]

I see Cammies posted a video and I give it a 👍, feel better Cammie!

[@colinmayes9446]

Well done Cammy, we could see that you didn't feel very sharp, but you are an inspiration, thank you. Best wishes from East Anglia.

[@danaridings6387]

Hope you feel better soon!! Beautiful lambs!!

[@jldisme]

I don't think you need to apologize. The videos are great especially making them this time of year ()When you are so exhausted) is special for me.I hope that you recover soon from covid. It's rough.

[@janetwhitten3945]

Hope you get well soon, your doing better than me, it totally floored me. Jock and Lizzy look fabulous it’s a busy time for you all. Well done Meg that was great team work and well done to the pedestrians who just stood still and didn’t make a fuss. Who on earth can say they have that many dogs under control, even with the greatest of training. Total nightmare!!

[@kathybradbury]

Beautiful lambs. Prayers for your health, sorry you’ve been Ill. That guy with the dozen dogs in the woods was a major creep.

[@claymonsterpottery]

It’s also easy to see how your police training was evident when you handled that fellow with the dogs. There’s something they teach you about how confidence and authority that can lead to resolution.

[@juliepalmer1840]

Cammie, love your videos, I heard about your channel from Sandy a couple of weeks ago. Sending prayers that you will continue to recover your health.

[@AmandaTroutman]

OMG I've been waiting for this

[@melodi996]

Wish you a speedy recovery!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Oh, Cammy, there there, we love ya and love yer vids. 🦌💌❤️🐑

[@andrea2798]

Those pop ups are REALLY NICE! well done!

[@alexwholey3391]

Hope you’re feeling better soon! Great video as always, big fan of the lambing videos. That bloke walking his pack of dogs… I’ve no words!

[@alexwholey3391]

Was out at a deer park today and caught sight of a dog chasing a herd of deer. It absolutely made my blood boil. Reported it to the park staff who were looking for the dog.

[@bonnienichols2640]

Cammie, I know what u r going through! My family was down with COVID for 2 mos. It was scary for all of us! Mine was the worst case. Even spend time in the hospital. May God bless & strengthen yr whole family in this upcoming lambing season. 🥰🐑🐏

[@TheSheepGame]

It’s a dangerous business Bonnie! Hope u have recovered well?

[@leannkennedy6568]

Sorry you've been sick. Hope each day gets better and better for you.

[@ms_katia2267]

It’s so funny watching the sheep following you and they went right in.

[@lizhrubik3936]

So sorry you are suffering with Covid, hope your recovery is quick and clean. Glad Lizzie and little man Joch are well.

[@vergieclark131]

Sorry your not feeling well praying you get well quickly Cammy 💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

[@janeweber317]

Lol, I understand about half of what you’re saying, but I still like the channel and have subscribed! Thanks for the entertainment.

[@kelipotter847]

Hope you start feeling better quickly!! I’m so excited to see your lambing has begun!! Something fun to look forward to! My lambing has also begun but with only 7 mamas there won’t be nearly as much action as watching all your lambs!!

[@beltexsheep2060]

There's travellers that come out across our land (no permission given) and chase hares with greyhounds which is illegal in Ireland. Great video as always cammy

[@w056007568]

Hare coursing is a big illegal issue here in the longer daylight evenings and weekends with greyhounds, lurchers and other cross breed running dogs here in South Lincolnshire, Rutland, East Leicestershire North Cambridgeshire. The people involved are often driving with total contempt of property in small 4x4 cars trucks and SUVs which they mostly do not own. Dogs and vehicles are quite often abandoned anywhere if they are not up to "their requirements". It is only recently that the police have made any real impact at all on their activities by prosecution of individuals, confiscation and impounding of their dogs and crushing of the vehicles if ownership cannot be established.

[@cameronboyd8757]

Great being back at lambing

[@wncheidi]

Happy you're on the mend and I very much appreciate the explanations of your comments in the boxes on the side. I typically have a difficult time understanding your accent (sorry) but you also use phrases I'm unfamiliar with (city girl) so this helped immensely.

[@TheSheepGame]

I’ll keep doing that ☺️

[@wendyhumphreystebbutt5782]

Sending you lots of positive thoughts for you getting over COVID COMPLETELY & SOON! Toi, toi, toi (that's opera-speak for "good luck") for a great lambing season. All the best to you and your whole family! Yours in Gratitude

[@mistyeydgrl]

I hope that you are all back to 100% health wise sooner rather than later! Looking forward to seeing all the new lambs ❤️

[@teresabrewer2661]

Wow Cammy it's hit you hard the dreaded COVID, most probably because you have worked so hard and were shattered from that. This is amazing, I love it when you post more. I know you must be shattered but your loyal subscribers love it. Take care of yourself though. Baa baa

[@brogand3448]

Omg watching the sheep follow you up the road with Meg bringing up the rear is the greatest thing I've seen today! I wanna get some sheep and a dog and have them follow me around now lol I kept thinking 'any second they're gonna run away' but they just weaved their way around the people and cyclist. You made it look so easy (I'm sure it wasn't though!) Thank you for the brilliance!

[@MrRhiannon1]

Take care Cammy, feel better soon

[@elizabethpreston5994]

Sorry to hear you’re fighting the COVID! Be well, Cammy dear! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lauraleebaird9729]

That pack of dogs could really do some damage if not under control. I was missing a daily video, so I went back a bit. Hope you're feeling much better now. Seems we had covid at the same time. Blessings to you and yours!

[@christygatto]

Hope you recover quickly Cammy!

[@harryking5512]

Congratulations on 48k

[@charlieconway6801]

I can't wait for the next vlog Cammy and I hope that the lambs eye gets better soon

[@keithaspin5160]

Nevertheless you are the consummate professional and you have a great support/partnership team.......around you....I genuinely wish you a great 2022 lambing season!!!!!!!!! Scottish Sheep Farming is in good young hands so dont let the Covid wear you down....I know you will come back to us BOUNCING....Best wishes to you your mum Lizzy and Jock 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Keith you’re a gentleman! All the best!

[@Ann1o1]

Great video Cammy. Loved seeing over the back of Dunlop, just a few farms along from my parent’s. Looks like your police experience of dealing with ‘the public’ is coming in handy….

[@casperbenj]

Feel better soon.

[@dianabarrick4663]

Oh Cammy, hope you recover quickly!! So sorry you got sick!

[@FarmFreshIB]

Feel better soon

[@pattiesidlick4658]

Darling I so know how you feel I just caught it too and feel like a Mac truck has hit me. Hope you feel better soon and yes this still was a good video made my day.

[@mindivanhouten310]

We are sleep deprived too...luckily the end is in sight. I swear this is by far the fastest lambing season we have ever had!

[@TheSheepGame]

Ours is wild fast so far this year!! Gets it over with I suppose 😆

[@jilljunkala8132]

Oh sweetie hope you feel better soon!

[@mrs.henderson7602]

I’m so sorry you got sick 🤒 😷 . Hope you get better ❤️‍🩹 soon

[@darshe68]

Ohhh, Cammy, and at the beginning of lambing 🤧🤦‍♀️. I pray you're going to have full recovery with no lasting effects! Looking forward to many lambing videos, many Blessings to you and yours! Cheers from Texas ❣️

[@TheSheepGame]

thanks as always Shelia!

[@gilliantovey1014]

Hope you feel better soon Cammy. It’s going round my village like a dose of salts p, no idea how we’ve avoided it so far. Still a good video even though you’re feeling proper poorly still There’s always issues with dogs at lambing time round here on the Cotswolds, so many seem to think that their cute little fluffy wouldn’t hurt a fly. I keep my dog firmly on the lead and well away from sheep, especially at this time. Love the piece of music on your outro, what is it?

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks and No idea Gillian! Someone made it for me 😆

[@ragnkja]

It’s illegal in Norway to walk unleashed dogs between 1ts April and 20th August anywhere they could disturb livestock or wild animals or their nests or dens.

[@MamiesDream]

Farmers don't get sick days. Blessings to you and yours.

[@kayroth8750]

Speedy recovery to you!

[@cree878]

Awe! Poor wee lamb , hope you feel better soon 😃

[@emmasmom60]

Feel better, Cammie!

[@greenecrayon]

Wishing you good health and that you feel better soon

[@martyn450f3]

Another great video Cammy 👍 hope you shake the rona off. You've got to keep your hand in with the odd row just in case you want to go back to city job 😉 👍

[@monbarb]

Feel better soon 🐑🐏

[@ewetube.videos]

You're tough is all I can say, still tripping from the virus. 😂 The Lairg looks like a great hardy wee breed.

[@allanmcintosh5171]

Another guid video 👍

[@triciaabrams8848]

Hope you're right as rain really soon! ❤️

[@therhoda]

I Hope you feel better and recover well

[@kathaleenquinan5943]

Feel better Cammy

[@suzanneippolito8716]

Take care Cammie. Covid is a bad go...especially at lambing time.

[@aremea]

I had Covid for 11 weeks at the beginning of 2020. Of course with perfect timing with my lambing, that I take care of on my own. I have never been as tired as I was during those weeks!

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah it’s no joke this virus!

[@irenedavo3768]

Wow!
