HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? | Vlog 17 - Lambing 2021

[@falconk9]

Chase scene needed benny hill 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for the plug at the end, just being silly while my sheep were grazing.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks for sending the clip in!! If anyone else wants to get involved then email a short clip to [e-mail]

[@dawnjohnson7688]

As a rider who used to keep a flock of 5, I’m keen to see the sheep dressage! In hand since this isn’t a rodeo channel, of course!

[@falconk9]

@@dawnjohnson7688 the sheep were running all over the dressage court, it was pretty funny. I'll have to see if I can get them doing it again for a vlog.

[@juliereis146]

Nothing to do with your chase, but oh that hung lamb lol he looks like he has donkey ears now 😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@mariashadows1328]

I love when Meg gets so excited after a chase that she just roles around in the grass. Shes such a good doggo!❤

[@queenbathmorda8658]

I love how the ewes protect and keep the babes close. But the minute the food bag makes a noise - it's see ya later kid! All the moms are at the food and all the kids are milling about calling for the moms. It's hilarious! Keep those videos coming!

[@dianer.9461]

Cammy, love your videos. Working out in the field is so different than Sandi in her barns. Same game, just not the same. It is so funny to Meg doing her celebratory back scratch moves after you’ve caught a ewe. God bless.

[@Patricia-zq5ug]

It's a miracle every time, birth. Love seeing the cycles of life for a sheep farmer, something I formerly knew very little about.

[@Charlotte-ue9sy]

LOVE seeing your mum on camera! Great video. Meg is amazing!!!!

[@TheSheepGame]

Aye she likes to come out for a run and see the sheep 👍

[@alicegamble6145]

That lamb with the big head is doing amazing. He is really cute. Thanks for the update on him You look after these sheep so well.

[@akoilady9097]

Yes, he/she looks great!

[@seanohare8496]

'Meg give us a hand here' and Meg was on the ball straight away ,nice one .Great video cheers

[@ronaldbarrett9148]

Good to see James , Lizzy and your Mother . I would not have thought of skinning a lamb and putting the skin on another to get the ewe to accept it. Looks like it works most of the time. Thanks for the video Cammy.

[@scottbradley2494]

I love the outcome that comes from the skinnings. But I’ve gotta say it’s about time you skinned that barnet of your own!! Bob Ross is really got some competition there.

[@SB8-8]

"Not that kinda stiff".....What a wonderful way to start the day!!🤣🤣🤣 You slay me!!!

[@roadrunnercrazy]

I appreciate that you show the reality of sheep farming. 👍

[@mcmurphy5]

Another great video👏got the extra head band in post , your so good, your little sheep fans here are very happy with their "sheep man" thanks Cammy

[@marilynfranks8995]

That dog though lol. She is something all right. I'm part of her fan club, as well as yours of course. Your skinning abilities are fantastic, fits like a jumper! Hope she accepts both.

[@dustycows]

Cammy, I finely had time this spring to watch you. It’s been a very busy spring this year, with Texas open, I’ve been running the wheels off. Anyways, the dead lambs, you just never know what will cause them. I look at this way, lambs are like baking a cake. Not all cakes come out right and many things cause them to not be right. Sheep, as with humans all don’t make it. We as shepherds are right there from beginning to end with the sheep threw their lives, we see it all.

[@TheSheepGame]

Always a great look on things DC! Thanks!

[@cherylpryde3092]

Hey James, Hey Lizzie. Hope you are doing well. Cammy, I’m sorry for the loss of those two lambs. Love your pink crocs. 🇨🇦❤️🐑

[@heatherd212]

Great job Cammie ! It’s always wonderful to see you able to give pet lambs a wonderful new mommy. And mommy two crackin lambs .

[@ChristophersMum]

Thank you Cammy...I just love my lamb fix...especially that wee black and white one that you showed us when unloading the trailer!!...it was just so cute and huggable...love from Perthshire...🎇😁🎇🐑🎇💞🎇 Your intro is still a wee bit loud (I have Asperger's sorry😔)🤪

[@keithaspin5160]

You are a great ambassador for Farming and in particular Shepherding - another excellent Video 👍👍👍

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Keith, much appreciated for the kind words 😊

[@Finallyretired2022]

I love watching them come off the trailer. They’re all calling for each other and moms going by nudging lambs to find theirs. It’s like a bunch of kindergarten kids at the end of a group presentation to parents and both sides looking for each other. Sorry but I get a good laugh watching you and Meg pin a ewe. You’ve got the moves of a good tight end ( it’s a position) for our football !

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah it's amazing how they find each other again!

[@Frustrated_Traveller]

Our Kelpie is sitting unscrewing his head listening to the lambs 😂

[@davidnicolson6443]

Grate vid cammy. I wonder if those lambs where not quite right on the inside as in under developed lungs or somthing like that.

[@lizhrubik3936]

Thanks for sharing the circumstances of your life with us. As with all species, life is a miracle.

[@donnafink6262]

You definitely get a work out each day. So sorry about the little ones Take care.

[@alexwholey3391]

Sorry about the dead lambs. Hope the mum took the others ok. A behind the scenes page on KZbin sounds really fun! 🙂 Great video! My mum (Shonagh) wanted to add she cracks up when you say jings, her late dad (falkirk born and bred) used to say it a lot and it always makes her smile!

[@elisabethe8055]

Meg rolling around in the grass laughing i am sure after seeing that catch you did of that sheep! :)

[@paulfairbrass4424]

It's all a part of keeping sheep good days bad day's, we finished last weekend and the last ewe had to have a c section. Mind you the lamb came out at 9 kgs

[@Cellottia]

Good Heavens, that's huge!

Megs accomplishment dance is awesome

[@paddy294]

You’re a legend cammy

[@aliciam1207]

How long are the adopted lambs in the lamb skin? Does it just get ripped one day and fall off? Do they out grow it and you cut it off? Love watching you & Meg work! Thank you for your work on the videos! It's 6:40pm here (NC, USA); maybe 11:40pm in Scotland? Sleep well!!

[@kathylawson4139]

I don't know what you would do without that dog!

[@tjjurake3506]

Using the skins from the deceased lambs is very clever. Pet lambs are expensive to raise and the labour involved (bottle washing etc.) can be overwhelming. I am learning so much from these videos Cammy. Thank you. Unreal how physically fit you have to be to raise sheep out of doors. I am pleased that you consider the sheep better than whiskey although judging from your collection of the fine drink, whiskey must be a close second.

[@peacepeople9895]

Keep up the good work. If everything went perfectly and there were no issues to deal with other than feeding and moving them, every landowner would do it and you wouldn't get a front lawn to rent and raise your sheep. For as many sheep as you have and the short amount of time they lamb you're doing a great job.

[@TheSheepGame]

Very true, we'd all be doing it if it was easy!

[@garethjones5148]

love the intro song at the begining i miss it so much

Google it so you can hear it whenever. I caught Joanne De vanney singing it with her brother so i Googled it.

the sound quality of the intro is great now. thanks for fixing it

[@TheSheepGame]

Dropped it a bit just for u Lynda🥰

[@akoilady9097]

Meg did a grand job getting that mule out of the little herd it was in. I wondered if she'd do it. Should have known.

[@brikramberg8084]

The lil black and white lamb you held up to the camera! So cute!! Also do you ever make shapes with the feed like a circle or triangle just for fun while feeding the pasture sheep?

[@TheSheepGame]

Aye those lambs are pretty cute. I haven't intentionally made any shapes yet with the feeding, a lot of the time I'm trying to get the food out before I get flattened to the floor! 😂😂

[@terrisuzuki6367]

I love how you apologize to the ewe and give her a pep talk!

[@sotiriaasprogeraka9067]

YOUR DOG IS VERY GOOD!! I LOVE HOW SHE OR HE LISTEN YOU

[@magsprettejohn2160]

That was a shame to lose the two lambs like that, but hopefully she will take the two foster lambs, she didn't look upset by them so fingers crossed. I hope you find your stick, did you throw it out the way whilst you were lambing in the previous vid.

[@wendyashton5274]

How long do you leave the skins on the adoptive lambs? I imagine the skin will harden and dry out shortly.

[@tammykaltreider]

I love y’all’s videos...my only complaint 😂 is that they haven’t been long enough! All the best!

[@garymoore3657]

Looking forward to next year's lambing vlog

Thanks Chris

[@annarobson7066]

Great video !!

[@GS-st9ns]

It's a bad feeling for that mom. I love the way you say "she obviously loves her Lambs". You are very positive, Cammie. I didn't know mum's have horns. Is she a special breed?

[@TheSheepGame]

She is a Jacob. I believe they originate from France.... but I could be wrong. Some have 4 horns and some have 2!

[@Cellottia]

@@TheSheepGame There's a story in the Bible about how Jacob sheep came to be. Jacob wanted to leave his father-in-law's farm/grazing lambs and go back to his homeland. So his father-in-law said, " Ok, son, when the time comes you can take all the striped and spotted sheep, alright." But Laban, Jacob's father-in-law, had already deceived him over his wife/s, and he deceived him again over the sheep. He took all the striped and spotted sheep out of his flock and sent them off to a distant pasture where Jacob couldn't find them. However, Jacob had a shrewd head on his shoulders, and when tupping time came around, he took branches from poplar, almond and plane trees, and stripped the bark off them in places to make them striped and spotted and speckled. Then he put the branches in the sheep's water troughs. Sure enough, the sheep came to drink, but they also mated in front of the water troughs with the stripey branches in them. Jacob made sure that none of the weak sheep from Laban's flock were included, but only the strong ones. When the lambs were born they were *all* streaked or spotted or stripey! So Jacob was able to take all the good strong lambs, and leave any weak ones with Laban's flock, and he set up on his own, and he grew rich and successful. And that is how the Jacob's sheep came to be. Hope you like this little gem of a story 😊; until next time; K 👍😀😉

[@bernitaylor2964]

OMG your lambs are stinkin' cute. Need to HUG them !!! And then I see you Silence of the Lambs, with lamb skin. Too Much ! Did you make it put the lotion in the basket ??? LOL

[@cjmcadams4817]

I had heard of putting the skin on a different lamb just hadn't seen it done untill now. Awesome job there.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks CJ, does seem to be a pretty effective way of adopting when we have a dead lamb.

[@ruefulquail5071]

Thank you for sharing these. Do you have lambing issues like that with your Shetlands? I just subscribed and have been following but might have missed it if you don't keep Shetlands anymore. (I just started a flock of them here in the US)

[@middlekingdomfarmrebeccapa5035]

I love how you apologize to the sheep. 😊 I find it amazing that Meg knows which sheep she is chasing, my dog would not be able to do that. How long do you leave the skin on the fostered pet lamb?

[@TheSheepGame]

I find it amazing too as i'm often not sure myself lol. These skins were on just shy of 48 hours. They start to deteriorate quickly after that. Do they not do this in canada? Just use an adopter pen?

[@middlekingdomfarmrebeccapa5035]

@@TheSheepGame I have tried it a couple of times. Many of our flocks have very prolific sheep, with over 250% quite common so many of us use milk machines that can feed up the 100 lambs.

[@TheSheepGame]

@@middlekingdomfarmrebeccapa5035 yeah a lot of farms here use them now. I just wondered if u did it for adopting lambs?

Those poor little lambs but there might have been something wrong with them. Have a great day and Happy early Mothers day Lizzy.

I guess that's just farming sometimes there is no real reason of why it died 🤷‍♂️

[@patriciacrosbie6029]

I’ve seen calf catchers that are attached to a quad, or bike as you call it. (I’m Canadian) I wonder if that wouldn’t help you catch sheep in the field. With the shear number of sheep you run I’d hate to see you take a bad fall.

[@joanlittle3899]

Happy Joan

[@thomasforbes8904]

Hi Cammy, Does feeding the meal on the field with no trough not waste a lot of meal or do they eat it clean

[@TheSheepGame]

When it's wet in winter there will be some waste but when it's dry they just pick away at it.

[@barbaralavoie1045]

Did you kidnap Lizzy’s PINK CROCS for this intro? 🤣🤣. When my son was little, he used to “borrow” mine to run down the driveway during the summertime, cause it was far too hot for his bare feet. He enjoyed the sounds they made while running. It always made me smile to see him wearing my bright orange Crocs, way too big for his wee little feet.😊
