LAMBING SHEEP OUTDOORS IN SCOTLAND

Warning! Footage not suitable for children from a sheltered upbringing! 😊
This time we are outside lambing the Blackies and Cheviots.
We have one successful lambing with the Cheviots and one not so successful with the Blackies.
Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know anything you would like me to make a video on.
Thanks.
Cammy

I see there are a few of us from Sandi’s! Good job with the ewes. I caretake 30 ewes and 3 rams that are pasture bred and raised. This will be my first lambing 😳. lol Every video is informative and interesting. Thank you!

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Samantha. I'm just trying to improve all the time! Sandi has gave me a massive boost today and thanks for joining! =D

[@lisafisher8408]

Started watching today. Sandi Brock from Canada said your videos are great and you do sheep farming the right way! I would agree with her.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Lisa. Sandi's a bit hard on herself as all a sheep needs to be happy is food, water and other sheep. All her sheep get heaps of that =D

[@sallyintucson]

I watch her too.

[@shelleycurreen1182]

I like Sandi's way of doing it. I can see her sheep are happy. But this is how we farm in NZ so I like watching Cammy too.

[@traceysmith2026]

Love the dramatic music 😁

[@tinacathey8241]

I'm sure you have heard this many times but I love to hear you talk. I have to be honest sometimes I don't understand what you are saying I just rewind lol Great videos. It's amazing how well those dogs do their jobs, you and your team do a great job! Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@Haggislover]

I love how Meg was guarding that little lamb (sibling to the hung lamb), making sure it didn't wander off, giving it a little lick here and there. What a great dog! And that sheep that walked off - "Whit? It wisnae me! Ah'm aff tae hae ma bath"!

[@georgecalwell]

Great videos with the humour injection. Hard to keep the humour during lambing but you're doing a great job. I'm from Northern Ireland and the sense of humour is the same. Keep up the good work. 👌👌

[@TheSheepGame]

georgecalwell thanks for the feedback! Got to keep positive or it’ll wear u down😁

[@loosegear4345]

Sandi Brock recommended your channel to her subscribers. You are cool. Will be watching you regularly!

Just heard about you from Sandi over on Sheepishly Me. She said to check out your videos and I loved seeing how well trained your dog was. Looking forward to more.

They were probably all little icelandic things before we started messing around with them lol

[@hamidahlouch7727]

The ewe lambed the first lamb a long time before you came to her at least you were late 2 hours .

[@donnaspear8494]

I want to see how you finally got her back. I love Meg, she's a great dog. How long did it take to train her? How old is she, and will she ever have puppies?

[@TheSheepGame]

Donna Spear Hi Donna. I had to put the camera down and lift her out the burn and get soaked in process! I inherited Meg from my dad when she wasn’t fully broken so she has her rough edges and i make her look good on camera lol. She is 10. She has never came into season unfortunately. Really sad!!

[@donnaspear8494]

@@TheSheepGame Thanks for the answers. It is sad about Meg not being a mother. I didn't know that could happen with dogs.

[@99037149]

Lambing is indeed a hard time for every farmer. My father always used to say that unfortunately where there is stock there is loss and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it.

[@TheSheepGame]

True that. Where there is livestock there is dead stock😁

[@beaupeep]

@@TheSheepGame True, true...

[@paulinegrabham448]

Hello, I'm a new subscriber :) Do I hear you talking a bit of the Gaelic to your dog or is it just me (an Aussie) not understanding your accent - despite my Scottish ancestry lol!? Your videos are far from being too long, you can make them longer if you like! :D

[@TheSheepGame]

Hi Pauline, I’m going to make a video about Meg soon. I don’t speak gaelic to her but i use a lot of Scots words in my day-to-day dialect. If u heard me speak to another person from Ayrshire you probably wouldn’t understand a word of it 😁. It u have heard of Robert Burns then we use a lot of the same words he uses in his writings. 😁

[@vickiesmith9597]

When i started farming an old timer told me you have livestock & you will have dead stock!!! SAD but part of being on a farm.

[@TheSheepGame]

That's a common saying here too Vickie!

[@QuarterStickLLC]

Loved this video...Cheviots v. Cammy.

[@nataliewales898]

What a rascal she is! Made me laugh! 🤦‍♀️🤣

[@TheSheepGame]

Haha some lass

[@TheBeastCR]

this is the exact reason the Cheviots are one of my least favourite sheep... Luckily the farm i work on during laming season only has 10 or so Cheviots in the flock but realized that they wouldnt fit their purpose quite as well as their Suffolk x Border Leicester ewes do . We also have a similar issue with our suffolk mule crosses, they bolt as soon as they have had their lambs and are an utter pain to deal with in the small pens

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah they can be hard work but the lambs are looking tremendous now😁😁

[@dharmaqueen]

Please no more music. Its fine the way it was.

[@cathyshaw-kalloo237]

Love your videos. However, I think I’ll have my son-in-law watch this and then translate 😂. He’s born and raised in Edinburgh. He told me when I first met him that if I heard two Scots talking to each other that it’d sound like a foreign language to me (Midwest USA born).

[@TheSheepGame]

Glad you enjoyed the videos Donna, hopefully your son-in law can help you out with the accent.

JAMES Rivis worked out good for the camera haha

[@danamama6766]

THAT was the best line ever please subscribe if you like and even if you don't subscribe anyway! :-) Also I loved the beginning song it reminded me of my friends father who was Scottish and he loved that band. I would walk 500 miles...his favorite. When he passed away their home was about 1/2 mile from the little church and his wish was for us to start at the house and march singing that song to the Church. And we did. Blasting our lungs! That even may be a Scottish tradition I do not know. That was over 35 years ago and still dear to my heart. The song brought back that wonderful memory. Aww Lizzie you are amazing and I know how sad these loses would be. And as for runaway Mom well I guess animals can get post partem as well! Doing some back watching or catch up. hugs

[@ruthgallant6047]

Fun watching you chase the runaway,lol. Now I see the advantage of keeping them in a barn. I do like seeing them in the field though.🇨🇦

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Ruth! Yeah it’s so much easier lambing an a shed but these sheep have never been fed before so they can’t come inside.

[@ruthgallant6047]

Ah, I’m learning.

Loving these vidioes so grate to see a fellow Scotsman on KZbin thinking about it I have had a simmilar day had a blackie ewe lamb her first lamb no bother and then the other one was almost hung but we got her in time although we did need the vet then we went to castrate a tup lamb out of a cheviot ewe and the ewe took of on to the roed and then down to the other end of the the feild hu the joys of sheep

Aye have to accept that's the way it is with livestock.

[@paullynch2890]

when swinging a lamb you should never swing it away from u as you are just putting the mucus back through it's nose and that first lamb died because the ewe wasn't checked often enough the lamb that was alive was born a good half hour to and hour before that one

[@TheSheepGame]

Hi Paul. I think that goes without saying. Not sure of you have lambed ewes outdoors before. Can’t be there all the time. These things happen.

[@paullynch2890]

yes we lamb all our ewes outdoors and i understand lambs can die regardless weather u are there or not just in that case i'm sure you would agree that was a very preventable death not that one lamb is going to make or break the bank anyways i've finally found a yt channel about sheep that isn't all bs
