Catching up on the New Farm!

[@sandpiperca4722]

Cammy! I hope I have your attention! You and Lizzy have done the WORK for your farm. Don’t ever think your online and merch stuff hasn’t been HARD WORK! You have EARNED the RIGHT to own that farm! Every last stone. You both did the WORK. Whether or not it was physical back breaking work or in your head or with your fingers, it is still hard and stressful labour. Don’t disrespect yourself so much. You both deserve to have ownership. It’s extra special that you have history there and know the previous owner so well. Now the problem is to keep the faith, the strength and mindset to keep it going! You can do it with Lizzy and all three kidlets. Life is never easy but it is and will be so much fun for you all. It will be challenging and always changing. It will be stressful, you will both grow more gray hairs, or maybe loose some….but that’s what life’s about isn’t it? I met you and your family online when the Brocks visited you and have followed you faithfully since. I wish you and Lizzy the very best. I’m so excited to watch your futures unfold. 💋 Therese from western 🇨🇦

[@brigidconroy2111]

Well said

[@lornaharper2728]

Totally agree well said, Cammy you and your Family work really hard and deserve all that comes your way.-Lx❤️❤️

[@vickijones3660]

Exactly.

[@Bonzo1ish]

Cammie, I totally agree and was going to say the same thing, you and Lizzie deserve this, after what you have done...also, if your dad had not passed, and you had not taken up Sheep Shearing to ''grieve'' that loss...How would you have met the gorgeous Sheep Shearer known as Lizzie...the Legand that is, pure Woman...strength, compassion, love, motherhood, having boundries, taking no crap, giving good vibes, as well as giving you a hard time when you need it, she is everything a woman is...

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Thanks for this, I'll need to have a read of this comment every morning when I get up - get some encouragement for the day!

[@vickijones3660]

Iona… I enjoy your part of Fed by Farmers. Your coming alongside Cammy and Lizzie has been huge in their success. What a great friend you are. Ashley you too.

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Thank you so much! (Ash says thanks too!)

[@davidmoxen4178]

Cammy all the sheep game family are so proud to have seen your progress over the years and wish you all the success with the farm and your family in the future. We are all excited for what’s to come. ❤

[@almasharp3787]

We are so honored to have “been” there for your brilliant proposal!

[@vickijones3660]

Yes❤- you could have kept it private.

[@abenorma]

You have earnt a place in the hearts of almost 400k viewers with the Sheep Game. It might not be "grafting" but there are times where you are the highlight of my day, as is the Friday Chat. Don't sell that kind of impact short. ♥

[@debs-54]

Great podcast…enlightening…get married and just have a big barbecue… and dance…we did it, only cost us $3000., but 28 yrs ago…we were engaged 12 ½ years, should have done it yrs before, due to taxes…look at it now, why’d we do that? Wishing you nothing but happiness, just remember…you have to live somewhere, this way…it’s your own, not paying someone’s else’s mortgage…❤️🇨🇦

[@AleciaC_Happy]

Absolutely LOVE the Friday chats!! Not lying!! Love all the farming podcasts, but listening to you and Iona share yourselves and life!! And, you work SO hard and Lizzie... You absolutely have WORKED for everything. KZbin, Sheep Game.. these ARE working, filming, posting.... Cut yourself some slack. We are ALL so happy to watch you succeed and grow! I wish you ALL the happiness, blessings, and prosperity. One day we'll be watching and Jock will be a teenager and we'll all have watched the kids grow!! Ps,.. please don't shoot a dog!!!

[@sueg1530]

A great podcast and it is mind blowing how much everything costs! Can't believe you have a water meter! Rainwater harvesting would be a good plan. I love seeing Lizzies films of your family. Jock and Angus remind me of when my boys were that age. What a fabulous childhood they are having. If anyone is going to make it work , you will. So many of us are looking forward to seeing the farm progress. ☺☺

[@JohnFagg-p2x]

Rainwater harvesting is an absolute must. With their huge collection areas they should never see a water bill. All you need are inexpensive but very large storage tanks and a good filtration system.

[@markfoster74]

Fantastic podcast guys. Congratulations Cammy, you're an inspiration. 👍

[@jldisme]

The Friday updates are my favorite! Cammy - be proud of yourself. Think of how much joy watching you succeed gives to all of us.

[@vindeljay]

That was good hearing Iona tell Cammy he's an arse and It's nice to hear Cammy mention the good work Iona does behind the scenes. Such good news about the farm.

[@gilliantovey1014]

I was so thrilled to bits when I watched your video about buying your very own farm, but then you went and topped it by proposing to your lovely Lizzie. You have worked very hard to be where you are now. I started watching you fairly early on long before you met Lizzie, you were still working at a full time job with the police. Don’t ever underestimate yourself, you have done this by working hard and telling us all about it in your videos, then starting the merchandise and setting up FED. Then there’s Landward when they spotted you were a good presenter. You deserve to have your farm. I will also be very glad that you will be able to lamb under cover which must be a huge improvement after lambing last year, I really feared for your mental state last year with the weather and losing so many lambs, it was an awful time I’m really looking forward to watching you videos from the farm My daughter and her chap didn’t want to get married either, saw no point. However they realised legally there could be issues financially and legally, so they decided to have a civil partnership (now available for heterosexual couples).

[@Whipkick2]

The best Fed by Farmers yet. Really appreciate your graft and the fact you have got your just rewards.

[@ashleybriggs4063]

Very similar situation to myself Cammy, my dad had dementia and we lost him two years ago. I started working on the farm just to help my mam out with no real interest in the farm, now I’ve been there four years and really enjoy doing it. Wishing you and your family all the best for the future

[@DiRaeK61]

Thank you Cammy and Iona. I love your Friday chats. I look forward to them.

[@NancyH-c61]

An old fashioned potluck, barn dance! Will be soooo much fun! Lizzy is a gem, but so are you, Cammy!

[@johnh1353]

Good luck on the farm and family! You're beginning a new legacy!

[@helenferguson9546]

Great podcast again😊 and Cammy you should be proud of yourself what an achievement to buy your own farm. Lizzie and you are both grafters and deserve good things. Huge commitment but I'm sure you'll both do well and of course your wee family will continue to help out 😊😊😊. All the very best and I can see how happy Iona is for you all. ❤

[@kirlandedwards3805]

Everything's going to work out, Cammy! You & Lizzy have worked so hard together. Many blessings for all your future endevors! Sheep Game, Logo Farm, Fed By Farmers and anything-else that comes

[@jimgott2405]

Wow Cammy that was an amazing video. I really appreciate how open and honest you are about all the costs involved - it's really refreshing and engaging. I wish you all the best with everything. You're an inspiration I think. I'm off to go and buy a Fed by Farmers hoodie now - they look great! You should ensure you share links to the website for people to buy!

[@IanStewart-x6v]

You are the kind of people we need in this country, honest hard working people, you deserve success and i m sure you will have it all, we follow you on sheep game and have now subscribed to FBF , well done and best of luck.

[@suesmith1872]

Happy New Year to all involved in the podcasts. Can l say you hit the nail on the head when you described Lizzie, she is an amazing woman, as well as lona you two bounce off each other and that's what makes it a great podcast, keep up the fantastic work and keep them coming. ❤🇦🇺

[@missygirl1965]

Love watching you guys, great episode!

[@berniwilkins1618]

Love listening to you Cammy you're a grafter. If you'd stayed with Police Scotland you'd be CI Or Supt by now. Your down to earth approach and open eyed acceptance of what is right and wrong in the scenarios you're involved with and your openess to stand up and be counted is commendable. You deserve to be a success at anything you try. You & Lizzie have so many skills and talents forget 22 kids and counting I can see a series The Will of the Wilsons - Nothing like a bit of debt to get you in in the morning - but I need my sleep xx

[@ruthmichigander]

Agree Iona. Keep hammering Cammy about how important sleep is.

[@davidkenny7481]

Great video. Very honest, insightful and refreshing. Ye are a great example for any young family. So much achieved and so much more to come. Onwards and upwards 👏

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Congratulations on the farm Cammy and Lizzy. Such a big accomplishment. Congratulations as well on your engagement. A big round of applause for Iona for all the work she has done as well. This was another fun and informative podcast. 😊 Happy New Year!

[@bridgetjarvis6413]

Hard work and Honestly Cammy you and Lizzie deserve everything you achieve 😊

[@BrendanWhite-e3y]

Best of luck with the new farm wishing you many years of health and happiness in it .not so much into sheep but love the feed by farmers 😊

[@elainegatenby80]

Absolutely love your Friday chats as you and Iona are a great team. You and Lizzie are also an amazing team who have worked so hard to finally achieve your goal and get your farm. I have absolutely no doubt that all that hard work will continue to make your farm work and all your dreams come true.

[@monicah8923]

Congratulations Cammy & Lizzie, what an achievement! You should be so proud, what an amazing community to have built. Another great episode from Cammy & Iona, so glad to see the jingle is back at the end of the podcast too! 😂

[@helendavis7719]

Absolutely love them 💕 🤗🍀

[@lyndamurphy3276]

love the Friday chit chat catch up with both of you . Great laugh . I look forward to them .

[@marmalademomzyboop8975]

Cammy, it may seem overwhelming with the cost of setting up and the purchase of a farm. Once you get settled and your feet are on the ground, you and Lizzie will be fine. You will budget on your monthly costs and reassess how and where you may need to shift. As scary it may be, think how exciting the future you and Lizzie will have as the kids grow up. Keep these chats, vlogs, and podcasts. I love all that you share. Iona champion you on, even though you tease her. Your engagement has put a smile on my face ever since your announcement. Again, thanks for sharing.

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@gregedmand9939]

Farming calls on just about every skillset known to humans. It's why most of history's great inventors have some farming in their background. There are so many interrelated challenges, that finding solutions are a constant demand on your time. Knowledge of animal husbandry isn't enough to be successful, unless you can afford to hire in plumbers, carpenters, welders, drivers, crop specialists, mechanics, etc. Before long Cammy will become a "Jack of All Trades" and eventually a "Master of Some". It's a huge challenge that I'm sure Cammy and Lizzie are up to. But if all that weren't a big enough hurdle, they are commited to video record the process. Astonishing entertainment and educational value!

[@buzzard732]

Absolutely over the moon for yooz! And happy to be a tiny part of your dream Cammy. Sheep Game and Fed merch is basically all I wear! Jammies included!! And generally don't bother way jimjams!!🤣🤣 All the very very best!!❤️🐑

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Bloody legend! Thank you!

[@michelledocherty8769]

Wait.... you sell jammies😮 i think i need to be having a wee look at your merch xxx

[@marylepeterson9768]

Love your coverage. I understand most of what you are talking about and find it very interesting and entertaining/funny. Thank you. Happy New Year to both of you. You are both young, enjoy every minute of everyday and see and do what ever you are interested in and can do. Do it while you are young. From a young 83 year old widowed Grandma that is so glad I have done everything I did in life.

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Such lovely advice, thank you!

[@CathyRoss-gc5ym]

That was great as usual .Cammy you and Lizzie are grafters and getting the farm is your reward nothing has been handed to you have achieved it by hard work good luck to you both. Love your end jingle 😂

[@ViviennePlatt]

Oh Cammy, just an amazing podcast. I've only been watching you for about a year and I'm so proud of how far you, Lizzie and your family have come in that time. It may be years in the making, but it just shows how hard work pays off. Dreams do come true. Wishing you all the very best of luck for the future in your new home/farm ❤

[@judyphillips7892]

Thank you for another awesome Friday chat. We're so proud of you and Lizzy! All of the years of hard work you've both put in is honest and honorable, and has paid off while you are still young. You are blessed to have each other and your beautiful children, so now you have to learn to take time to enjoy it. I'm happy that you take family time each day. That is so good for all of you, and centers you back on your purpose. You're both amazing. Iona is a great addition to the team, and a wonderful support for you. It's good to see her confidence growing under your influence 😊. Love you all.

[@catmeow47]

❤ the Friday catch up ❤

[@Julesmakes71]

Love, love, love a Friday chat. ❤

[@keithaspin5160]

happy new year to you all.......great podcast....as always and special congrats to cammy and lizzie on the acquisition of your first farm!!!!!!!!!

[@garymadden2656]

Great podcast Cammy 👌all that hard work pays off in the long run 👏keep it going 👍

[@anitameza3960]

I really love these Friday chats but I watch all of you and Lizzie's videos . Very entertaining .

[@Croy01]

Great Podcast, Love the content 👌

[@michelledocherty8769]

I love a friday podcast . Its always so light hearted even when your talking the tough stuff. Iona is always smiling and when you watch someone smile you naturally smile too😊 xxx

[@richardhamilton7458]

Cammy, another selling point for your rental is that it is on a working farm. I have holidayed in the UK for years and always look for a working farm to stay on. One of the farmers used to take the kids out in the buggy when he was doing the rounds, they loved it.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Love to Cammy and Lizzy and boys and Iona! Happy New Year! 🦌💌❤️🐑

[@cookecreeksheep]

You built the social media following…it’s hard work of a different nature than farming perhaps but work just the same. I understand your feelings about sweat equity but you definitely have put 💯 percent into your successes. Being humble is a good personality trait but we are all proud for you.

[@sheliareeves4666]

Great podcast as always good luck to you and Lizzy with the new farm you both so deserve it iona your brilliant xxxxx

[@ellencarver5575]

I love the Friday catchups please don’t stop doing them they set me up for the weekend On the marriage thing Lizzie could change her name by deed poll and it would cost very little if anything. But I do think a wedding would be a special day for you Lizzie, Jock Angus and Bonnie. All the best to you and your wonderful family for 2025.😊

[@scottycat6822]

Thanks you Cammy and Iona for another wonderful, honest and humorous podcast. Wishing you both a successful and healthy 2025 ❤

[@jdaasa2011]

These Friday chats are my favorite!!!

[@KarenFleming-f4t]

Cammy you deserve your farm and be proud of your self you have worked so hard to get where you are today

[@sherryhawes3788]

Cammy and Iona, I love listening and watching (lol) you both. Your honesty is very rare these days. 😊

[@annettehughes8928]

Brilliant Cammy great podcast thank you. All the best to you and Lizzy for your future. Iona you did great asking all the right questions, when you could get a word in 😂😂🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Thepaintedtiger]

I enjoy the catchups, you two have great rapport, and I enjoy hearing the 'behind the scenes' stuff, like the UK taxes and regulations, etc. And a bonus, I got a good part of my desk sorted and cleaned off while listening to you. Thanks for keeping me company, and I wish you all the best in 2025.

[@immoosiesmom]

Love Fed by Farmers. Keep the Friday chats as long as you can, you are a busy fellow with a new farm. 👍🏼

[@jamescarre6743]

I found all the detail about buying the farm and the ensuring costs of running absolutely fascinating and mind blowing. I wish you and Lizzie all the best in this venture. Have you considered the possibility of using a small area for caravans? This is refered to as a Certified Site via "Camping and Caravan Club". Just 5 pitches, nicely spaced apart and all you need to provide is a water source, ie, one tap and a toilet waste point. An electrical pick up point would be also greatly beneficial. .......Just a thought.

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Not a bad idea, Maybe a little bit out of our depth just now but could be for us in the future!

[@amandadouthwaite1863]

Congratulations to you Cammy and Lizzy on the farm and ofcourse your wonderful proposal to Lizzy 💜. Congratulations to you Iowna on your new business venture 💜 your vidio advertisement was perfect and so professional. i wish i was closer i would love a session. Can i say i blooming love your friday chats its so good to hear you talking through so much stuff, and of course you always make sense! Much needed in this crazy time we are living through. All the very best for 2025!! Take care 💜

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Thank you so much!

[@thomascrawford9520]

Cammy, Every time you think of a cost think of the triplets you will save in the massive shed and silage pit. Best of luck

[@JohnFagg-p2x]

Cammy, Have you considered collecting the rain water at least from your barn roves? We also live in a country and that is our only drinking water available unless of severe drought when we have to tanker it in. I imagine you could easily collect 500,000 L from a good rainfall where you are.

[@JohnFagg-p2x]

Sorry, spelling error ‘rooves’

[@JanetAdams-d3t]

Congratulations of everything for you and Lizzie. I would not underestimate your Sheep Game Fans. I would love to visit from Canada and stay at your farm at Lambing time. I do play golf but lambing for me would be more fun. I would love information on your B&B rentals if possible. Happy New Year and take care.

[@TerriMayfield-oe1pe]

I definitely love your Friday catch-ups. Keep them coming. ❤

[@Lozzy64]

what a lovely podcast from both of you. thankyou x

I love watching you both even when you go so very far off track we forgot the subject. No lies! ❤

[@CatherineBain-lq3df]

That was a brilliant podcast xx

[@TanjaAuxier]

Congratulations to you and Lizzy! Your hard work and dedications is paying off big time. Will you be doing a house tour?

[@stesaxo]

Sheep game farm experience stays could work for the holiday let. Especially at lambing time

[@Anne-MarieFionaFan]

Brilliant jingle!!😀

[@jillcrowe2626]

I love, love, the Friday Chat. And I noticed immediately that day when you forgot to thank Crystalx and Animax !!!

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

🤣 thanks Jill!

[@elainegatenby80]

Cammy just remember as you say Lizzie is amazing and you couldn't do it all without her, so DON'T work yourself into the ground and miss out on making memories with your family. Those kids want to be bringing their kids to Gran and Grandpa's farm and make memories with them. So you need to be around for them for many many years ❤

[@MaureenBand]

Love your Friday podcasts x

[@Valerie-ng7cg]

Love the Friday chats 😂

[@kathaleenquinan5943]

Congratulations on the farm and engagement

[@margobrown6140]

Get what you mean about thinking that the socials are not graft but.... you've put so much effort into it to make it where it is today with the huge following you have. You have surrounded yourself with engaging people - Lizzie, Iona & all your guests - that makes this amazing. Not to mention the merch side. You're so driven Cammy it's great to see your efforts come to good. Some buzz! & that smile when you walkabout the farm....love it. Just dinae be daft & burn yersel oot & not enjoy it

[@grassfolk]

For the water cammy, it might be worth getting rain capture for the farm. In Texas we pay for water for everything and a rain barrel can make a big difference, and yall have much more rain to capture.

[@SeanieD1968]

In ireland I have an underground concrete tank built to collect the rain water ,, 1st time it got close to been empty was last year in over 32 years It used for washing , toilets, water for sheep ,, washing clothes etc so it cost nothing

[@thomasbee5218]

Having even more apartments you can rent out on the farm - AND you promoting that on your sheep game channel will pay your mortgage every month - people would LOVE to come stay there and follow you for a day or two at all times of the year…👍🏻 You will have a steady income and maybe even help during lambing time - do NOT underestimate that part - you would probably be able to make more cash that way than “milking” 🤪

[@kentboys5017]

Sounds like another agricultural bestseller from Scotland! When are you going to write your book and experiences. You are a phenomenal personality. Thank you for sharing you life! Take care👍🏻

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

If I only had the chance to sit doon for 5 minutes! I've thought a bout writing a book - but even when I had my operation and couldn't walk, I just had so much work to be doing!

[@WendySpencer-d6r]

On the wedding, you could do a 'surprise the bride', my son did all the graft with a group of family and did a re-proposal 6 weeks before, all at a family venue - it took 7 months to organise and spend was split along the way

Dark chocolate is good for you. 🤷‍♀ I’m very happy for you and your family. Looking forward to lambing. And I enjoy the sales barn and shearing too.

[@onlyClaire]

Fill out the darn forms! Also if air BnB is slow on in the off season depending on the area you might be able provide longer term accommodation for insurance claims. I connected my god parents and it keeps the accommodation full in the office season.

[@SeanieD1968]

You will have paid back in 25 years £1.5m for the farm,, hope sheep prices keep up and you are lucky especially as you all work so hard I’ll be watching for the next 25 years if I am still alive getting impressed with you work and life God bless you all ❤❤❤

Best of luck to " ewe all" 😊 You seem to be mixing up income Tax and capital. The worlds most expensive sheep grazing. Million quid for 8 acres of grass.😊 Lots of hurdles to with a holiday cottage. My wife runs one Gaidrew Cottage on Sykes Holiday Cottages. Lots and lots of paperwork and registrations.😢 Looking forward to seeing all the content the farm will produce 😀 Best wishes to you all.😊

[@leebarker3390]

Yipee, the Friday catch up is back😊

[@aseatter5477]

Congrats on the farm!! The financial logistics of buying a farm from nothing is insane! I'm on the same train as you just one stop behind. Will be interesting to see what your accountant says about the 90k tax bill, but I'm fairly confident/selfishly optimistic that you won't have near that to pay, the 70k SDLT and additional dwelling sounds about spot on though. We also have a 4 person holiday let, we get about 45% occupancy year average with the summer being mental busy and winter fairly steady dying off from Jan-Mar. We have recently put ours to a 2 night min stay as doing the changovers ourselves on a string of one nighters was grim and definitely not financially worth it. Look forward to following your journey more. I absolutely love the real insights you give your viewers.

[@FedByFarmersPodcast]

Thanks for that and great to know re the holiday let!!

[@sue5824]

Best wishes with it all
