Lambing is almost finished so we are filling in the days by starting our fly prevention work! This is a really important time of year and so many farmers get caught out with fly strike,. We do our best not to be one of them!

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.

Would love to see “behind the scenes” vlogs. Do whatever is best for you Cammy. We will always be for the ride. How good is Lizzie doing the work with Jock on her back. 👏👏👏👏

[@valeriesimpson9585]

Most definately behind the scenes would be great.

[@kiahpeace9090]

Wouldn't that be funny if Lizzy filmed all Cammys disasters? On the other hand she could film him like he's a big HOLLYWOOD 🌟 star. 😕

[@elizabethnovak4951]

I agree with the others who suggested you do what you need to do for you and your family. I’ll enjoy whatever video you put out. Kudos to Lizzie for carrying wee Jock on her back while working. Doesn’t look like she misses a step. All the best!

[@kate2gt5]

I love seeing lizzies sass, "you need to do your hair" (clippers) you know she is not wrong cammy. Hopefully you get to it before summer sets in looks like it could be quite insulating. She is lovely you have a good one there

It keeps the heat out too though🤣

Actually thought you might get a bit of a clip when you picked the clippers up to show😆 I have to say, I side with Lizzy....you could do with a bit of a trim 🤣 As for the videos, do what's best for you...an occasional shear to show newcommers how you do it, but I love meeting the farmers that you work with.

Exactly.

[@kathybradbury]

Yeah, mixing up the format will be fine-I personally love the culture of the country as much as the sheep. A few cameos of sheep here and there, farmers on their land, and banter sounds great.

[@gilliantovey1014]

I’m all for behind the scenes and chats to the farmers vlogs, look forward to them. Enjoyed the video, nice to see what goes on with your day to day work. Perhaps Lizzie needs a camera to show her working day when you’re off gallivanting round the country shearing.

[@nanalesa24]

Lovely video, love that Jock is usually on hand, he will be a pro by 5. The videos should be however you want, you always make them interesting. Always nice to meet the folks you have around you. Do love the scenery shots.

[@teresabrewer2661]

Wow. Look at the sizes of the lambs already. You must be giving the mother's a great diet for them to be able to feed those stonking lambs

Lizzie, you rock! Toting wee Jock about as you work. Fern is coming along well too. Have all the lambs been born now? Your regular Go Pro works well, no need for the Canon in my opinion.

Almost! Just 15 left to lamb😁

Definitely give us behind the scene footage. Love hearing the stories of the other farmers. And seeing the scenery of your beautiful country.

[@kevinradford5056]

Good idea with the behind the scenes videos. I loved what you did with lambing. More content but easier for you. It doesn’t have to be cinematic for us to watch and love it. We like seeing what you, Lizzie and the rest are up to. Thanks Cammie!

[@cliffthegardener]

Like the idea of chat with the farmers. You know how the ginger guy with the moustache on @ tom pembertons goes on about drains, silage - great insites. No doubt there are others out there who can offer insights into their pet subjects.

[@bonnienichols2778]

Hi from MI, USA! I agree that Cammie needs a clip b4 shearing starts. Maybe have short spot in next vlog, Lizzy can shear Cammie's 'wool'! 😂 I think you should film what & how you can this season. We just want to follow you on your shearing travels. It's cool to listen to background bantering between shearers & helpers. 🥰

[@826313sherry]

Do what works best for you. I will watch everything you post. God Bless

Can never get enough of you all taking care of the sheep. It is amazing how much you care for the flock. Thank you for all you do. ❤️❤️

Love the idea of the easy to edit videos anything that makes your life easier. Some workers you have there with Lizzy and Jock. I see you’ve added modelling to their list of duties 😂 (expertly modelled I have to say).

[@traceymcclymont7175]

I think that you have to do what is easiest for you Cammy, also the majority of your audience will be happy to see you, Lizzie, and whatever job you are doing for the sheep 🐑👍🏻! Great wee video, thanks Cammy !

[@shawnwales696]

I see Cammie, I give him a thumbs up!

[@koriw1701]

Love the idea about behind the scenes footage. Honestly, I don't know how you managed to get out your daily vlogs *during* lambing season. I thought that you'd crash and burn long ago It's lovely to see wee Jock in the game bright and early. I assume that you're hoping that he will follow in your footsteps and keep your farming going. Cheers from Seattle, WA USA!

[@farmergirlangie3469]

Good to see you wearing a helmet. I wrecked on a 3 wheeler when I was changing irrigation when I was in high-school and that was not a fun experience

[@timmasson4731]

I was getting worried hadn't seen a video for a few days 😅

[@christineroerty2534]

Behind the scenes sounds good. With your sense of humor, it will always keep your followers. You Cammy are a natural.

[@francesbruno8445]

From most southern part of Canada. Love your blogs. Am an old Oncology nurse married to an engineer from Garelochhead, and Edinburg, so was taught Scots as a second language. This was a rough year for him as emergency surgery mid December hit a glitch an he is just almost back to 90%. I am a sheep fanatic and we follow Sandi Brock who is about 150 from us... But we love to see the sheep in the fields and to hear the Scots and see the land. Yesterday watching your ferry adventures to get to Arran cheered Peter Simon up, quite a bit, as he is a West Coast Lad. He and a friend once begged a trip to Arran, on a fishing boat. Re shearing videos, would love to see more background, more behind he scenes, and more getting there, as I too am in love with the landscape. We were at Glenelg a few years ago, have travelled quit a bit in Scotland especially Badenoch, husband's last name. We were to go over for our son's wedding in England and more Scotland in 2020, but Covid changed the wedding to 10 people, so all family in Canada had front row Zoom seats. Thanks for your informative and fun clips.

Your Lizzie is a hardy lass indeed! Show us whatever interests you to show, that’s what brought everyone here in the first place.

[@katiehettinger7857]

It would be interesting to hear from the farmers who call you in to do their shearing. ☺👍

[@Patricia-zq5ug]

When you do chatting with farmers, other shearers, etc., I can't understand a word they're saying anyway. I like to see men working hard, flexing those biceps, lol. There is something mesmerizing about watching sheep get sheared. But you do whatever is best for you and I'll enjoy whatever you put up. This lambing series has been awesome. Loved every minute of it!

[@paddy294]

Lizzie is a legend. I’ve finally put up a profile picture. Cracking video as always cammy

Great video. Lovely to see what work is done with the sheep. I'd love to see some background when you're shearing. It would be nice to hear the farmers commenting. 👍🐑🐏🙂

[@teresabrewer2661]

Thumbs up is definitely deserved 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@donnaparrish7638]

Behind the scenes sounds like a great idea Cammy. Thank you for going the extra mile to share with us. I love how your Lizzy’s smile spreads across her face as she turns away when she realizes the camera is pointing at her. Watching her work with the wee Jock strapped to her back, I’m amazed at this beautiful, smart, hardworking, shy young woman who doesn’t know how beautiful she is. She’s the complete essence of wife and mother. She’s certainly a blessing.

[@vwvw4]

Your idea of interviewing other sheep producers about their history in sheep along with the usual banter is an excellent idea. Of course I love the drone shots and any views of the countryside you can provide as you live in a beautiful part of the world. Years ago I was talking with an SA vet and he said they had a slow release worming bolus for sheep made by Merck. It was never available, here, but I thought what a great idea, to cut down the number of times you have to handle the sheep. It's really nice to see you advocate for the welfare of sheep.

[@mmwhitede]

Friends - I too enjoy the banter! Bring it on. We will hear lots of interesting Scots and accents. Let’s embrace it.

[@hollyjensen2371]

would love to see more of the countryside and hear from the farmers, speaking in scots of course! and for the purists who want nothing but sheep shearing, you could make a couple of vlogs of sheep, sheep and more sheep, with music, voice over for interesting stuff. was looking for your video for days...it didn't disappoint as usual.

[@keithpurdy6251]

Hello Cammy, I am new to the channel and I can't get enough of all the types of content you provide. I have been bingeing your videos from this video all the way back. To February 3rd 2021 which was the day my father passed due to cancer. That video made me happy, because of how gleeful you always seem to be. I am happy for you and your family keep up the awesome work.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks so much Keith! Sorry for your loss. I lost mine suddenly in 2015. Brutal. Glad u enjoy the videos.

Huzzah! Cammy is back! Love getting a Sheep Game notification! Already missing the lambing vlogs 🙈 I’m sure you’re all happy to be getting back to the rest of your regular farming tasks. Lizzy sure is a heck of a woman carrying baby Jock and doing all that work (and making it look easy!) 💪 I hope you spoil her!! Thanks for all the videos. 💖Your fan from Southern California

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Organised chaos pretty well describes what you are doing here. It is more interesting to see behind the scenes and meet the other farmers you sheer for. If they are willing to share the basics of their stories that would be a bonus.

[@jodiely7983]

Yes to all the vlog suggestions you made. I love your interviews of the farmers and joking with their kids and when the kids do their own vlog for you if they’re up to it. The best parts are your commentary with your quick wit and funny thought of what the sheep are thinking. Love the drone shots of the dogs working and sheep moving. Maybe interview willing farmers wives and show the food they make for you and the banter while drinking a cold brew. I like to watch the shearing too especially when you are competing against a buddy. But really anything you do is great don’t stress yourself out trying to make it smooth and perfect. Jumping around from scene to scene is fine if you give us a heads up telling what’s going on. Of course we’d love to see Lizzie and lil Jock as well if she is willing even to just put up a camera she doesn’t have to talk and entertain.

[@RICDirector]

As she is camera shy, maybe put up surveillance cameras in the work areas?

[@christinesbetterknitting4533]

It is astonishing how you know your sheep individually!! I am lost, but I trust your confident words.

My darling Scotish cousins. I would love to see you give a bit more info on the farmer/shepherd on the flocks that you shear. A short interview acknowledging the care, hard work & effort they put into their flock. On a more morbid note. At my Mum's funeral we had a hell of a time finding and collating photos for the little montage of her life (she was 98 when she died. A hardy part Scotish lass) Your little montages who be the perfect thing to include in the service to show just how dedicated to their flock they were. Just a thought. Love to all, Cousin Joolz.

We only kept a few sheep, lawnmowers. But if there were to be lambs we would trim the ewes faces, the belly around their bags and the patch under the tail. In Australia we had to be proactive before fly strike. Birth fluid etc .
