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 600 breeding ewes.
I shore over 15,000 sheep this season in UK and I also travel to Norway for shearing in March and September. (Covid messed it up this year)
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.

OMG I CANNOT HANDLE THE CUTENESS!! So amazing. Thank you for sharing this video. Entertaining AND educational! Cammy.... I love how your epic hair blends in with the sheep that you're working with. Maybe the sheep will think that you are one of them. Think of how much easier that would make your job! Something to think about.... 😆😆😉🐏🐑

[@mistypeppercorn914]

Interesting note Cammy, the blue liquid that the sheep were being wash with is called an optical brightener, its used to make off white products whiter, its the blue in your dishwasher tablets, conditioner for clothes and specially lovely sheep.

[@barbcoleus]

Products like that are also used on white cats to whiten them for shows

[@godzandheros]

Looked similar to a purple toner often used to achieve platinum hair colouring as well. Since the shampoo was more purple in colour rather than blue.

[@Songbirdstress]

@@godzandheros Or old lady shampoo... prevents yellowing, white hair oxidises. Used to use it when I was platinum blonde.

[@patpierce4854]

“Breed Standards” have been written for all kinds of living things. You can find them in use at many kinds of competitive shows, from song standard elements required for breeds of canaries, flower shape and bud arrangement for various types of daffodils, to required jump elements in Olympic or international figure skating. If you attend a purebred dog show (normally an all day competition, not the couple hours of a televised broadcast), you would see a great many dogs of each individual breed, competing against each other for the Judge to select the individual who represents that written breed standard. The “ beauty contest” aspect is meant to be determining which individuals would represent the best breeding stock, for future generations of each breed. The Valais Blacknose breeders long ago defined in writing, what characteristics were most desirable for their breed, and then chose to only breed the individuals most likely to pass those attributes down to their offspring.

[@healingsprings11]

I loved watching this video and the frisky little fellas seemed to enjoy their spa treatment. Their curly coats are flashy, their colors and also their personalities . Amazing difference after a bath. 😉 The black spotted Throughout his coat is unique. I can see why they're so expensive.

[@deedawson6074]

That spotty one is what’s known as a ‘Spitty’.

[@roguewolf7053]

I must say…either that breed of sheep is exceptionally mellow, trusting & friendly or that farmer has them very well trained! Because I’ve watched videos of people washing other breeds of sheep and not only do they all show/scream their displeasure clearly…they also fight for all their worth and try to escape constantly! The only other videos of sheep being washed where they were this well behaved was one where the owners regularly entered their sheep in shows and began washing them ever so often from an early age. If this breed of sheep as a whole are truly as mellow and friendly as these in this video…I really wish I could afford 2-3 just as pets! Maybe one day…

[@dustycows]

Those valley black noses sure can be cute. We wash our sheep a bit differently. Always have to use soaps that don’t strip the hide of its natural oils. The slick sheared show sheep we treat with hide lotions to prevent transmission of fungus at the shows. Cammy, y’all need blowers to help blow that wool out. Check out the Circuiteer II, Made in Wisconsin. Best in the world as far as I’m concerned. They make a 240v, I know y’all use different Angry Pixies to power things over there. I see that showTime supplies sells them over there. Enjoyed! Congrats on the 20k
