Haircut Far From Home!

This week (filmed in July) Cammy shears one of his own sheep, a Whiteface Dartmoor. Orginally from Devon in the South of England, Cammy has a few of this lovely looking sheep on his land, lets see if this ram, Sebastian, is missing home or happy with the hairdressers north of the border!?

What a beauty Sebastian is. I’m guessing he’s the one responsible for all of those late lambs? You are a superstar Cammy, the way you treat animals, so gentle and caring, if only everyone was that way.

[@Svensk7119]

"GentlY and caringLY".

[@lindabrown9541]

I AGREE IVE SEEN SOME PEOPLE THATS JUST DOWN RIGHT MEAN THIS YOUNG MAN IS SWEET AND VERY NICE AND KIND TO ALL THE SHEEP HE CLEANS

[@giddermup]

Wow! As a spinner, I am drooling over that fleece! Another breed to put on my bucket list.

[@claymonsterpottery]

Me too! Not sure if I can find that breed easily here in the US.

[@BookieLukie21]

Same! Now I've got to look it up in the Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook aka the spinners bible.😂😂😂

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

That is a lot of ram and a lot of fleece. Beautiful! My back hurts watching you maneuver Sebastian. 👍😊👍

[@wendymoney2043]

I like your whole approach, gentleness + care…it’s something a bit special, in you, we don’t always see in the wider spectrum with animal welfare. That was lovely, thank you + what a handsome boy Sebastian🐏💕 is.

[@TwobitsTiger]

I never thought I'd be watching sheep shearing here on yt. It's SO SATISFYING.

[@lorrmurrcoch]

This shearer is so incredibly good at his job! No nicks and bleeding sheep after!

[@wandagrayson646]

My spinning wheel is itching to get that wool! Just beautiful!!

[@michellesas8975]

Sebastian has beautiful wool. You did an excellent job shearing.

[@bossmare1480]

I am so amazing at how chilled out Sebastian is about being sheared. 🤯 Wish I could wrestle my horse like that to do a body clip.🐴🤣😂

[@righteousbyfaithinChrist]

Nice work... it hurts to watch tho with all the manuervering of the ram. Talk about flexibility. I'm glad they are none the worst for the wear. You are quite the character....❤

[@LucillenRory]

wow Sebastian is a big boy! Beautiful wool.

[@manicspinner1959]

That fleece is LOVELY. Do you ever hold back some of your fleeces for hand-spinners? I wish I lived down the road. My spinning wheel is crying out for that fleece!

[@shearingseason4965]

I don't maybe we should start selling the fleeces from this channel. =D

[@manicspinner1959]

@@shearingseason4965 Do you have anyone present at the shearing who can determine what is good for hand spinning and what should be thrown into the "wool pool"?

[@manicspinner1959]

(I realize some but not all shearers know this.)

[@bejaysus7388]

A boy Cammy another good video 👍. He looks like a strong lad, you're lucky he was quiet 😂. Lovely fleece, pity wool has such little value.

[@manicspinner1959]

I've got to think that there is a handspinner market in the UK (or even small-batch woolen mills?). Small, no doubt, but EXTREMELY interested.

[@sharonm3677]

What a beautiful ram. I can’t believe the calm demeanour he has, i think he knows how good looking he is. My god, the beautiful wool he has, when the underneath started showing I swear I could feel it’s silliness. Oh yes, try and show us more if that breed. Are they naturally calm, he seemed to really be chill to be with you and to be shorn. Or do you secretly have a pet ram that you spoil 🤣😂. Love your videos. ❤❤

[@barbaracurrie6949]

Nice fleece looks to be good for handspinning

[@sarahcontento9516]

Sebastion is such a nice calm sheep.

[@Annie6460]

Sebastian is gorgeous! And the wool luscious. A super knitted sweater there Cammy! ❤️🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@appalachianshearing]

I was waiting for him to start workin you with that thick neck of his but he stayed calm the whole way! Well done Cammy

[@BunnyMomx8]

What a mighty belly he has. He’s a strong guy ready to breed some ewes. He has beautiful fleece too and a wonderful disposition. This is a great video Cammy!

[@pmac4779]

Sebastian is one handsome animal. I love watching you handle sheep.

[@PopcornSonata]

I had actually just been rewatching the old episodes, always nice to see a new one posted.

[@bnhietala]

What a handsome ram! And so shiny! I'm just starting to learn how to spin wool. I'll have to keep an eye out for a fleece from one of these beauties!

[@barbaralucero2772]

That fleece was so awesome! I would love to wash, card and spin this fleece! You sure take great care of your sheep! ❤

[@georginaturner1237]

My favourite breed of sheep because they have such a beautiful fleece and the rams have really cool curly horns! Not exactly common in Ireland 🇮🇪, maybe I should start a flock for wool! ❤

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Wow he's sooo big with sooo much wool!!!❤❤❤

[@cantusfirmusbecker7825]

Das ist wirklich klasse, wie Sie die Schafe scheren. Kraft und Entschlossenheit und gute Handwerkskunst!

[@kwalsh1968]

Sebastian is gorgeous.

[@MargaretUIUC]

Beautiful wool! It's a breed whose wool I haven't spun yet. I'd love to give it a try.

[@rockycoves]

Cammy you're the man!

[@hunter2442]

I would imagine this is a relaxing experience for the animal!

[@crowznest438]

That was very satisfying to watch.

[@mkhuntstreasure3192]

Wow, beautiful fleece.

[@anitameza3960]

Sebastian is so handsome sheared .

[@angelcollina]

Sebastian looked so confused after he ran off, like “What the hell just happened?! I feel so much lighter!”

[@mj3026]

Thank you cammy happy new year to you & Lizzy & the kids ❤❤

[@shearingseason4965]

Happy new year!!

[@partyontheobjective]

FIRST! Sebastian is gorgeous.

[@lovelightcontinuum]

Love the way you talk to him, and watching your fingers or even part of your arm seem to hold some of his skin tight. Looks like keeping the skin from getting caught by the blades. It's amazing how underneath the top layer the fleece is so shiny and soft looking. After he's shorn he looks incredibly compact and well put together. Nice video for this time of year, a pleasant interlude.

[@westzed23]

Like shearing a cloud. So soft.🙂☁️💜

[@monaaustin7820]

Beautiful ram!

[@rileyreed1261]

Love the shearing videos.

[@susanmorgan9310]

This is how you got a hernia. He is a beautiful animal and you are so kind and gentle with him. Thank you for sharing

[@heatherallum]

Lizzy's favorite

[@juliemoses1909]

Sebastian sure is cuddly and gentle!

[@rebeccahawrot8345]

I enjoy your videos so much, thank you for sharing your shearing with us! Does your farm sell your sheep's fleeces at all? They're so beautiful, I'd love to process and spin one, lol! Happy New Year!

[@saraross8396]

Another visit to the Baa Baa Shop.

[@Kim-J312]

Is it Sébastien that is just a chill sheep 🐑? Or is it his breed is a chill breed ?

[@shearingseason4965]

They are pretty chill. Nice small sheep.... although he's big =D

[@Bildgesmythe]

Beautiful fleece ❤

[@kathysmith4261]

Sébastien is a handsome one. Brilliant fleece I love that golden color 😊❤

[@wendyrowland7787]

And not a single nick despite all the wrinkles.

[@trojanpussy]

I would have loved crocheting that woehl.💝🕯🙏

[@dmberube1970]

What a good boy! He is so cute! I love his pink skin. 😁

[@droolingfangirl]

Hah, as you’re shearing the ewe, I’m thinking “that is NOT a ram!” Lol.

[@roses1162]

i really love your videos and your whole approach to the animals. it's no surprise to me that they are always so calm under your care! also, i would absolutely love a "native wool" series, showing the whole breed's history. thank you!

[@jldisme]

I sincerely hope you didn't have the hernia in July while heaving that huge beast about. What a beauty and so calm! Did Lizzy bring him up with the ewes? Is he responsible for the weird lambing times they had? It was fun having a bit of shearing to brighten up a winter day. Thanks, Cammy!

[@robinbeck7847]

You really need to come to America to shear a Columbia!

[@shearingseason4965]

Once we have completed the UK we'll do that!

[@nblmqst1167]

Oooo!!!

[@tammykaltreider]

He really is gorgeous. Question, why the “wrinkles”? Is it a dairy quality? As you can see I don’t have a clue…🤦‍♀️✌️🤍

[@shearingseason4965]

I think it is a breed thing as the females have it too. Maybe a throwback to when they were bred for their wool and the more skin then the more wool they would grow =D

[@rukiyeyagz3750]

Çok tatlılar güzeller 🐏🐑🐏🥰😘

[@kmpage333]

I have an idea for you in your spare time. 😆 You can turn these "worthless" fleeces into rugs. You felt them to make a rug instead of using the pelt of a dead animal. "Live" sheep skin rugs, sort of.

[@karenlittlejohn1864]

Nice job ! Would like an update on Fiona 🐑

[@dreadedscotslass]

Will they no get really cold in January with nae wool?

[@jamesmason8944]

Your making a joke, Hahaha. There are leaves on the trees, that was not videoed in January.

[@shearingseason4965]

This was July 😁

[@catherinekenyon7555]

I admit I'm clueless, but did he have a wee umbilical hernia? Beautiful sheep.

[@shearingseason4965]

Not that I noticed! It wasn't just his willy?

[@catherinekenyon7555]

I am uncertain, but you were handling it at 2:50 while shearing the ram. I would think the willy would be further back on the abdomen, but I'm a city-slicker with no experience taking care of sheep. 🤷‍♀️

[@user-nacv-8867]

Like 2❤

[@mariaragnarsson8459]

Do sheep have glands in their groins 🤔 There is always some brown/yellow goop there when they are sheared 😉

[@shearingseason4965]

Yeah!

[@pixie706]

What ewes do you use him on and are the results worthwhile. ?

[@KyoushaPumpItUp]

Any chance that you'd name one of your future female sheep Watame?

[@shearingseason4965]

I will try. We usually only name the rams and the very special ladies like Fiona.

[@KyoushaPumpItUp]

@@shearingseason4965 Oh nice. Thank you.

[@jonathangreene4223]

What's that orange stuff on his inner rear left thigh?

[@haggielady]

Probably urine.

[@shearingseason4965]

It's a sort of wax that builds up in the crease there. i'm guessing from llanolin they produce but not totally sure.

[@jonathangreene4223]

@@shearingseason4965 Thanks!

[@shanereaney3631]

Wondering why your shearing this time of year?

[@shearingseason4965]

This was filmed in Juluy Shane. Just kept it up my sleeve.

[@stephmartin1237]

If you ever want to shear a pedigree dorper, let us know 👌 A shedding breed obviously...but some of the fields we graze means they get all sorts stuck in their fleece 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@wildscotsman1]

First like ! 😁

[@jonathonnichol9582]

Hey maybe something for this or for the podcast but a discussion of the gear you use, comb and cutter preferences and the such like. Might be a small group that enjoys that sort of thing but for those of us that are interested it would be nice to know.

[@shearingseason4965]

Good shout. This summer I might mention before each sheep what i'm using.

[@KilianTheDandelorian]

Gorgeous boy and a stunning fleece! What a joy that would be to spin by hand.
