Flies LAYING eggs on SHEEP'S WOOL

Although we are into shearing season we still have a few jobs to finish off at the farm.
Today we are dosing our lambs with Rycoben which is a white wormer targeting nematodirus.
Ewes are being sprayed with Crovect to prevent fly strike like the example you will see in video.
Any questions please ask in the comments
I hope you enjoy
Cammy

ABOUT ME
I’m 32 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.

Part of my pleasure in watching these vids is seeing the old stone walls - houses, fences, barns.

[@claymonsterpottery]

Agreed!

[@Annie6460]

That fly blown sheep’s tail looked lots happier once that wool went Cammy….. glorious countryside too Cammy, Lizzy and family.❤️🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@AmandaTroutman]

Being a mom has me so behind on videos! Lizzy is a real hero. What an amazing family.

[@Etherglide]

Scottish word of the day, “sleekit”. Meaning = sly, underhand. Example. “My wife looks for my beer stash whilst I’m out at work. She’s sleekit”. 😳

[@brendahole9575]

Or in “wee, sleekit, cow’rin’ tim’rous beastie, O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!”

So beautiful there. Always work to be done, hope you and Lizzy have some down time. Jock gets more handsome each day and Angus is just working way too hard 😅. Thanks for the video.

[@claymonsterpottery]

The white face Dartmore has stunning wool. I’ll have to look for some of that fiber to spin. I do t know how you do it Cammy but every new video is my favorite. I love the casual go along feel of this one, like we’re tagging along with your eventful day. Thanks! Stay well.

I have a huge phobia of maggots but I love The Sheep Game more! I developed my phobia after helping a friend to crotch their sheep when I was a kid of about 12.

[@habslover2306]

Cammy makes comment: Sheep need shearing. Methinks: Hmmm, too bad they don't know any shearers. 😉 Cammy "chasing" rams towards the woods: Lie doon, lie DOON. Sheep: Sigh, if I must, though it's awkward getting up again. 🐏⬇️

[@valorizehojeesempre6583]

Como é bom ver as ovelhas.

[@robinhall3347]

LOLOL, your intro is fun! I see the dogs are always reading the sheep confidently. Horrible those maggots, the poor sheep or the shepherds having to deal with that.

[@Cricket2731]

Fly strike is a very good reason to dock the tail!

[@skyedancer3106]

Hi Cammy, loved the video. The boys are getting so big. They are cute as can be. The sheep are looking good, but aren't they hot? Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤❤❤❤

[@helenel4126]

I confess, I looked away during the fly strike section. I've seen that before - and having seen it, don't want to again (clearly I'm not a sheep farmer). I wish veterinary science could come up with something systemic the sheep could receive to prevent that awful attack. Glad you're finally having good weather in Ayrshire.

[@Cricket2731]

Fly strike is often caused by a poopy bum.

[@vickimarkjones]

Thanks !

I can’t wait for you to shear those Dartmoors. Their fleece is teasing me. Side note, where did your videos on the Patreon disappear to?

Them chunky big bois are hilariously mixed but oh so charming and diverse! Are they the teaser bunch or?

[@waadfrelle]

The youngest vlogger on earth just emerged, vlogging without being able to speak, but very clear on his intentions already. From whom would he have it? Ohmygosh, how that maggot bum sheep enjoyed the shearing, she wriggled it off! 31 degrees C here in NL, and high summer in Ayrshire as well, I see. Let the shearing commence!

[@Alan-iu2el]

Brilliant

[@rhondamackey1237]

3 shirts in 8 mins Cammy. That's a record. Lol

[@wendyrowland7787]

I got some flack from trading standards as I used to cut the tag where it bends round the ear enabling the tag to swivel rather than rip out when they stick their heads through the fence. I asked the jobsworth lady if there was a specific rule that the tag must curl round the ear? Glad to say I didn’t get a warning letter. Where is the Tepari?

Maggots crawl; they're the juvenile form of flies.

I really hope someone actually looks over comments. My dad has about 10 family/ friend sheep. I showed him this video. He is not tech savvy. He would love to know the best way safely to trim them. Does your shears have a blade cover? PLEASE HELP. Thank you so much. Also need to give a big thanks to hoof GP. His videos lead me here to you.

[@jamesgriffiths7579]

i think there is a video that he explains the equipment he uses to trim the sheep and also for shearing the sheep. They have a comb on them and maybe a cover for them when not in use, but not certain about the cover. hope this helps.

[@tech9auto223]

I thought maggots only ate dead meat would they eat a live sheep ??

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Yes, the fly lays the eggs on soiled wool, and when the maggots hatch out, they start to eat the sheep alive. This is why shearing is such an essential part of sheep husbandry.

[@barkershill]

Maggots definitely eat a live sheep . The season for them seems to be starting earlier each year . Yes as Nigel says ,once sheared the sheep are safe from maggots for a few weeks until the fleece grows again and then they have to be sprayed with a product such as Crovect or Click . I now spray my sheep on early May , shear them in June and spray again in July . It’s all more work and money , but no one wants to see sheep crawling with maggots
