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.

Love the auctions. Really appreciate learning about the costs behind the business as you're able to share them. ❤

[@nance1111]

Most people's jobs don't require them to spend a lot of cash upfront and put in a ton of work without a guaranteed amount in compensation. You've got nerves of steel compared to most of the folks I know. I have so much respect for all your and Lizzie's hard work. The boys are growing so fast!

[@Garden366]

When I’m eating my lamb chops I’ll remember just how expensive it was for the farmer to raise this lamb to market size. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to sheep farming!

[@paulthompson8467]

Good video you did the right thing waiting to near the end of the sale the price did go down a bit best of luck with your new purchase 👍

[@user-ni8fm1mq3k]

sometimes part of the money making is to wait till the end of the auction when everyone else has purchased, you job is to get the best price so you day pay was to extra 10 pounds per head you got 1,480 pounds to sit till the end of the auction I think is worth it

[@hotred7342]

Amazing haul. Thank you so much Cammy, Lizzie and little Angus. 🙏💜

[@nataliecowling2716]

So lovely to see you doing so well and in a position to buy stock in as plenty of grass this year. All that hard work paying off . Top job 👍

[@lovelightcontinuum]

I enjoyed the auction and the explanations, and watching you and Lizzie decide together, but my favorite part was when you "took over the driving", the banter and getting the lambs out in the darkness! Long days and hard work all the time! But you stay upbeat and fun, wonderful to see.

[@lindasuprenant6531]

Always a pleasure to spend time with you and your beautiful little family (the sheep are great too!).

[@janedaniels7645]

I love seeing all the sheep going into the ring and how the bidding goes. I can well understand your caution,especially when young Jock costs so much going to nursery! Great vid.

[@judyphillips7892]

So lovely to see you and Lizzy with sweet Angus at the sale. I really enjoy the auctions; just glad it's you and not me! Those big numbers make me queezy😅. One little comment from an old lady: I so respected your rule from the beginning about no swearing, and proud of you for speaking up about it even with other farmers. It seems to have fallen away lately. I'm probably not the only person who would appreciate your care with that again. Thanks for sharing your time and family with us. A new Sheep Game episode always makes my day. 💖

[@margaretcolquhoun4111]

"It's all a risk." That's farming worldwide, Cammie. I remember one year we had the best-ever crop of wheat - and we got hail that absolutely flattened it to the point nothing could be saved the night before we were due to harvest it. Farming's a career where you must be willing to gamble against nature almost every single day.

[@TheSheepGame]

That's true!!Thanks.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Another interesting video. Good to see you and Lizzy having a day out with adorable Angus 👍👍😊

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Thanks Cammy good seeing you and the family. Interesting how you buy and sell your sheep. 🐑🐑💕

[@snoozieq4584]

You won some lovely lambs there Cammy! In a few months they will be plump enough for the auction. Great job!

[@james1c763]

Love the auctions. Really appreciate learning about the costs behind the business as you're able to share them

[@pattyannbeaven9287]

This was really interesting, I can understand you being nervous to bid, I’d get carried away and pay over the odds! This was a treat to wake up to this morning, thank you ❤

[@WhirlyPearly]

My Corgi sits and watches too. She goes behind the telly investigating where the sheep have run to. 😆 There is the odd loud bark too 😊

[@fanfeck2844]

@@WhirlyPearlydoes she ever find any?

[@deedawson6074]

Enjoyed that Cammie.

[@Finallyretired2022]

It appears that if you land near the bottom of the list most of people are gone and your lambs will make less. Always great to see the family ! We love being a part of the family. It’s always nice to see the boys and watch them grow and change.

[@TheSheepGame]

That is sometimes the case yeah

[@johnwaddell7239]

Not always ,sometimes a dealer just needs another pen of sheep to fill a lorry or a farmer who has made a long journey to market just decides to pay over budget rather than waste another day away from the farm having to travel to another sale ,this has certainly happened to me in the past but i have also experienced a poor trade at sale end

[@martinmagee1711]

​@@TheSheepGame✋🖐️🤚👋🦻🦻😃 yes now

[@heatherd212]

🇨🇦 Stopping at 4:44 and wanting to say , I hope you buy the pen of the speckled faced lambs pen #349 just because they’re adorable 😊 Your new lambs looks great Cammie. Love the family day💕

[@casperbenj]

The ending illustration of the Sheep Family is very cute. Well done. Hope the new store lambs make you a profit.

[@PeggyStentzCasey]

Glad you got some good lambs. Angus is getting so big!!! And love seeing a bit of Jock at the end.

[@portlandfester7510]

Love watching videos hope you hand over a multi million pound business to jock when he takes over you’ll both make a wonderful Nan and grandad for his kids

The lorry drivers dog is the spitting imagine of mine

[@dennismathieson1140]

Well done Cam I hope your patience will have paid off.

[@cowponyprincess2349]

Cammy, thank you for being so transparent. I have a handful of pedigree Shetland sheep that are basically pets, but I dream of someday making a go of it, and your videos have taught me a lot. I love seeing how you've got everything set up, and how you handle the sheep. The auction videos are great, and your videos of wool being graded and processed were amazing. Thanks again from rainy Seattle.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

Thanks for the information. All the hard work paying off. Nice to see the family. Blessings to you both.

[@neildixon5549]

The store lamps are a bit cheaper down here at Bentham some were going for £60 to £90 pounds

[@amypeterman9387]

Cammy , you shouldn’t have to disclose any of your personal financial information with anyone in the world because it’s your business. Don’t ever feel bad and please Do Not Ever let anyone bully you or make you feel like you have to apologize for not talking about it . If you want to throw out rough numbers of what things run that would be enough if it pertains to what you’re trying to put out there info wise . It’s totally ok to keep a lot of things private ❤️. People will still flock to you and Love you just as much. Thanks for being you.

[@elizabethloges6889]

Absolutely your finances should be private and in no way tied to the way you create your content. That is most assuredly not why I watch you. We love seeing your family and learning about sheep some things are to always be private😊

[@vickimarkjones]

Thanks for “taking” me to the auction. Mr.Angus looks a lot like his daddy. Lizzie- beautiful as ever.

[@gabrieleortiz5041]

I can see where bidding at the auction could be nerve wracking! 😬 So much strategy and timing involved, and you need a clear idea of what breed(s), size, and budget will suit your needs. So much on the line… Thank you for sharing this side of the business. So interesting. Hats off to you and Lizzie, you’re really great stewards and all-around wonderful people. 🤗

[@michelerowes4340]

So good to see your angus again a beautiful boy two beautiful boys !thank you.for sharing your family with us.

[@donaldmacdonald8525]

Good strong lambs. Should do well. Good luck.

[@jillcrowe2626]

What I really appreciate is the career you left behind knowing the hard life of a farmer, and knowing the value of a man's mental health. You chose wisely in a farming career and a wife and you've been blessed by two healthy sons. You're very wealthy indeed. I'm so happy for you and Lizzy.

[@donnafink6262]

These sales are so interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

Always a treat to see this. LOVED one of the pens with texel darlings, they were amazing. The Suffolk ones you bagged there looks NICE! Lets see if there is a keeper or two in these batches, you never know.

[@nanalesa24]

Love the lamb family ❤❤!

[@jasmijnvenner2403]

That second lot were some nice looking texels. I have a soft spot for texels as I had a sort of “pet” texel tup when I was growing up on my family’s farm in the Netherlands. He was called Jos (Jos the Boss, named after a Dutch racing driver) and I used to joke he was my unicorn, because he had a single horn that looked like it was growing from the top of his head. It was a weird deformity but clearly not genetic as none of his progeny had it.

[@dt8ustotten285]

Always soooo exciting! Congrats on buying your lambs! Can see how that would be nerve wracking!

[@barbaralavoie1045]

Hi Cammy. Hope you have success at the sale of your lambs at auction. There’s Angus , I think. He looks like Angus. And Lizzy is there with a nice family outing selling sheep.

[@azamyahmad]

[@peggycrain532]

Yay, you two!! Great job!! They look like crackin’ lambs!! And I love the ending with the two sheep (da and Ma) with the wee bairns rolling off!!!

[@lois4329]

Enjoy the journey you take us on as always! 😊

[@colinchick2692]

It is also true of farmers in Wales. They do not want to disclose what they pay for X Y and Z. Even down to how many sheep do you own. I have heard them say that you dont ask someone how much is in their bank account so dont ask how many sheep do we have.

[@merinofarmeragriculturewor4623]

[@suzisaintjames]

Thanks for letting us watch the sheep jump off the back of the truck. It gave us a short look at what you bought. (Next time a little longer, please.) (Remember longer is better, we can always fast forward or 2x the speed.) 💖🌞🌵😷

[@shannongraeber6578]

Very cool thankyou. How did Lizzy,'s ones she bought last year do? They were purebred right. Have a great weekend

[@magpieonline4801]

You got a good lot of Suffolk there. They'll bulk up nice for you. ❤ Good luck!

[@naviledreamweaver3219]

props for the frankness on the money talk, as such a massive element i understand it being a pain that some parts you just aren't permitted to talk about given how enthusiastic you are on explaining everything you can about your work. but rest assured, we do appreciate what you are permitted to talk about :)

Nice lambs. Could you put a date on videos when they were filmed???

I feel the same way about auctions myself. I can never decide, until it's too late. But usually it's above my price range anyway. I did like those Suffolks.

You guys are getting great money for lambs! In Australia at the moment that large pen of lambs would be worth around 30 pounds! We are getting severely ripped off down here at the moment!!

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, Very good stock, thanks for sharing

[@christinejeffrey5994]

Do you ever buy from the farms you know, so you can cut out the middle man? Or is that frowned upon?

[@elizabethmckelvie5418]

Watching this …I m shouting at the screen…yea. Well done …I felt as tho I bought them

[@debgrouette6885]

love the auction! always something to learn from the way you present it

[@simonjerrome]

That was a really good video on buying store lambs, thank you Cammy

[@cornbeef]

Me and my ex went to a farmers auction once just as a day out. It was really fascinating and quite exciting. We had no clue what was going on so had to figure it out as the day went on. When we split she went and bought some sheep. I now have no way of doing so. Maybe when I retire, or if I win the lottery some time soon...

[@colinwientjens1871]

These are up there with my favourites! I like when you talk numbers ect. How much did these weigh in the end?

[@johnwaddell7239]

sometimes you dont get a lot of buyers but some may be dealers buying for a number of people ,so they may buy a lot of sheep getting a small profit per head from the people they are buying for

[@TheSheepGame]

texels were 32kg and suffolks 30kgs

[@connordowsland7078]

Great video guys keep tbem up 👍👏

[@davidgilliland2658]

Good store lambs. The money is okay. It wouldn't pay a sheep farmer to take any less than 80 pounds. I'm glad Lizzie got them. She is a great girl. 😅😅😅😅

[@debbienester9330]

Auctions are fascinating. Differences in style to the ones I am used to in Canada.

[@makingitthrough190]

Thank you Cammie! Just curious why one or two sheep jump so high sometimes. Is it always the same sheep who jump? May be they are just having fun?

[@TheSheepGame]

Usually if u spook them they jump. U will see some of the farmers swinging their leg as lambs come into ring to make them jump. It shows they have vigour and makes them look good

[@firstlight7419]

Great video

[@middlekingdomfarmrebeccapa5035]

Is that a normal amount of buyers in the crowd? Do the same people buy most years? Thanks for teaching about this aspect of your business. We have the same problem with rentals here and people over bidding to get land.

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah for a store lamb sale it is. breeding sales would be busier. There are several 'dealers' in the crowd who will be buying over 1000 lambs and will have orders from farmers.

[@sheliareeves4666]

Great video love watching the auctionsx

[@roadwarrior8560]

Well done Cammy and Lizzy, you held out well and got some at a price where you might have a chance, great store lambs, I'm not hopeful though of the price of finished lambs holding up this year, we'll see, hope for the best, those were expensive chicken n chips😗

Are certain breeds just for wool and others meat? Angus name fits his nose. lol so cute.

[@mindymills2182]

I'm from the Midwest USA and do pay a mortgage. Feeder lamb prices are very bad and feed is very high. Many of us have turned out out on grass which is plentiful (amazingly in August) and waiting to sell. It's a little tough! 🙄

[@Gems1981]

Great work team, presumably you take all of your own lambs right through and you are just looking for additional lambs due to excess seasonal grass?

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah. We sold some store last year but we’ve planted 37 acres of forage rape this year we’re hoping we can finish lambs on!

[@Gems1981]

@@TheSheepGame great work ❤️ and hope they go really well. Have a great weekend team

[@ronrhodes8697]

Very nice lamb’s

[@S_Eglington]

Strong stores are always a numbers game there's so little to be made per lamb. Buying the smaller ones to sell on a rising trade later in the year gives you a better chance of a worthwhile return if you have the winter feed. Or a get out at a small profit if you're unable to get them all the way to fat.
