ABOUT ME
I’m 33 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 s a Police Officer 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 1200 breeding ewes.
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!
Since starting The Sheep Game I have met Lizzy and had two incredible boys Jock and Angus. You will see them all on this channel!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

Cammy - I have a little request. My favorite part of Lambing is that murmuring noise the ewe makes over her lambs. It just makes me happy. Would love to have a bit of that in a vlog. or even let us enjoy the sound of the birds and the sheep. It's not often I'm happy to see ads on a video, but I'm very glad that this one didn't get demonetized.

[@NarrowRoad110]

Lizzy must have the patience of Job. Never a dull moment with you Cammie!! Love these videos.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Another great video. I agree , sitting watching the sheep and listening to the rain is therapeutic.

[@claymonsterpottery]

They’d find me sacked out in a quad… asleep on the job.

[@teresabrewer2661]

When we had collie/lurchers we never ever let them off the lead when we walked the dogs near live stock. It should be a criminal offence if people get caught doing it

[@Cricket2731]

There was a recent vlog in which some man's spaniel (brown--Cocker?) was off leash & worrying the sheep. There were words exchanged! Unfortunately, I disremember the outcome.

[@northumberlandacres]

You doing that second fake delivery was hilarious 😆. Poor Marissa trying to play along. 😆.

[@ToniNewsham]

I know this is said, but Cammy, you have such an infectious personality. I catch myself laughing at the comments made under your breath more than anything.

[@scottycat6822]

Brilliant Video couldn’t stop laughing at the kids they left home spotless and went home like mucky pups but with a memory to last them forever 😅 Thanks Cammy and Melissa for the way you treat the sheep and their wee lambs with love.

[@terrimills8609]

The kids, both human and sheep, are precious! ❤❤❤ I love hearing you talk to mom (lass) and baby ((lambie)).Your calm voice encouraging them to live….. Thank you, Cammy.

[@Patricia-zq5ug]

We had a young friend from Georgia who never saw sheep IRL until he came to Ontario. Not a common animal to farm in Georgia?

[@Skydancer3220]

@@Patricia-zq5ug No. we get hot here. Not sure the sheep could handle the 90% humidity with 90 degree and higher heat.

[@ArchieGilchrist-qn2qm]

The reason these dog owners let there dogs off the leads is it's so they don't have to clean up after them .

[@nuancematters]

I absolutely love watching the dogs in action...also love seeing the dogs getting some love and affection. :)

I just love hanging out and looking at your vlogs. Amazed by all the different chores and skills you and Liz do. As well as raising your boys to be farmers. Sharing your love and appreciation of the wonderful views shown in your pastures, over looking your sheep, remind me to also stop and marvel at what is around Mr.

Electric fence, great idea! That would deter any dumb dog from getting onto your pastures. Worth whatever expense, for peace of mind, for man and wooly beasts.

[@westzed23]

If the owners of the six dogs get fined, that should go to pay for the electric fence. I don't know with the courts in Scotland if they can make the criminal pay restitution.

[@janetf9076]

Dogs are not dumb. Only their owners are stupid and dumb! Hi from the USA. Enjoyed your blog with Sandi and Mark. I follow you because of Sandi. ❤

[@lesleygreirson589]

Just received my “Some Buzz” hoodie great quality and sizing . I think you should create weekly some buzz Mac’s for the wee lambs . On a more serious note the weather has just been appalling for lambing season. It breaks my heart watching wee lambs in the fields in the torrential rain that we have had recently. Let’s hope that we get some decent weather soon and that lambing hasn’t been too soul destroying for you 🐑

[@scribbleknit]

Hi from Seattle - thanks for being a great part of my day!

[@jeannerogers7085]

I really appreciate seeing your ranch life year round, every thing that happens keeping sheep. I got new respect for sheep, driving around England and Scotland in the 1980's.

[@charleswebster2550]

In June 2000... Glencoe when a very large sheep high up to my left on a cliff out of my view lept over the bonnet of my car onto the roadway of oncoming traffic and off into the green valley. No one was hurt.🙏 For many years after driving all of Scotland and the Isles, as well as other countries with free range, I was always on the alert. In 2022 I acquired a very large😊 whitetail deer stag as a bonnet ornament late at night near Aberdeen....Maryland, USA. Both stag & car were totaled. (Nearly everything in Harford County has been named for my beloved Scotland......the glens, valleys, woods, hills, streams, golf courses & roads.) But my heart has always been and will always be...in the Highlands where the red deer run❣️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@isabelreed8053]

I am in love with little lambs. I have had an elephant, peacock, turkey, chickens, monkey, birds, dogs and cats .....but never a little lamb 😢 love your channel. Liz has got a voice for singing, I know she is shy but there is a good voice right there.

[@skyedancer3106]

Hi Cammy and Lizzy, great video. Cammy don't second guess yourself. Whatever your first thought is, that should be the final answer. Things should go easier for you. Just give it a try. Say Hi to Lizzy and hugs for the boys please. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Pumpkinnan]

Awe Cammy, you do look bit less tired today. 👍🏻 this dog business makes me very angry for you. That is not responsible dog ownership. I’ve never been around a farm or farm animals and I’ve enough sense to know that pets that are used to leash walking, feel as though they’ve hit the jackpot when the lead comes off and , look, there’s sheep to chase. Smh…just annoys me deeply. Hope things go smoothly with weather coming in. Loved seeing you just sitting in the moto taking it all in…seems to make the stress worth it. Thanks Cammy for the daily lambing vids, I look forward to these about midday in Nashville. 🙏🏻🫶🏻🐑xx

[@tinacathey8241]

It sure is beautiful there. One of my bucket list trips. Gosh those lambs that get stuck the pain the mom must be in all night. Sure wish there was a way to prevent that from happening. After watching you run around changing the ewes, pulling babies and all the other stuff I'm ready for a nap lol 😊

[@vickijones3660]

We visited the summer of 2018 (2019). Incredible.

[@haggielady]

It's well worth it. I think Scotland is a must go. If possible, spend at least a month there. There is so much to see and the people are amazing.

[@HootMaRoot]

Maybe one day the Scottish government will make useful laws like all dogs should be on a lead, and not the daft laws that are now wasting hundreds of hours of police time after only been active a week

so much fun in this one.. So glad you are able to find the humor (second lamb for that ewe, tee hee) in your days work. Spot catching some zzzs so cute. Enjoy those quiet moments looking over your flock. It helps keep you going for those tough days. Thanks for sharing laming with us.

Marissa has her hands full working along you haaaa but learning some good fun humor to though. And also Marissa your gentleness and care you show when lambing and with the lambs and sheep very much shows. You are a natural at it. Oh an electric fence where you can would be perfect!! Sad you have to take measures because of idiot people. But a great option. Oh poor Spot haa having such a great snooze then suddenly awaken to what is going on. His face was priceless. Love how you worry about the babies in the rain. hugs

Absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation documentary countryside content video .. and as always beautiful sharing .. thanks again Cammy

[@graemeforbes4560]

Petrichor -smell after rain, is bacteria spores, but none the less pleasant for that. Electric fence the area close to the path, think its the right call -you might get the usual ''oh, my dog got a shock' crowd but a nice big 'caution electric fence' sign will cover you there? no idea how long an area you can fence but the whole length of the path might be worth it? cracking vlog. Keep on keeping on.

[@JohnWilson-cb8nh]

Hell when I did lambing in the 70s we never had this trouble , Your work is 10 fold , now ,

[@MrHiddert]

Hi Cammy. Thanks for your lambing video's I really enjoy them. About the lambs with joint ill and the catching struggle when they get faster. After the first time I catch the lamb I tie a piece of baling twine to the lambs neck and where about 8 meters drags around the ground. So next time its easy to catch them by just standing on the twine. Greetings From holland.

Why did you not take on your usual lambing shed this year. There must be hundreds of old steadings that are no use for modern farming practices but are spot on for lambing.

[@ginaquincey5905]

You shouldn’t have to do it but electric fence sounds like a great idea for the footpath area, big battery……

[@KH-ek3ps]

It’s expensive. I recently put up some and was surprised!

[@westzed23]

Great video today. Just going out and checking all the sheep. Birthing, catching, rescuing, and Marisa running after lambs. The three of you in the moto and Lizzie rolling her eyes at your daft comments.

[@KH-ek3ps]

I realize how respectful and kindhearted you have been to the negligent dog owners. I absolutely hate it, but I think you must start showing them on camera. I expect it would definitely deter the problem in your area. I wonder if it would also help the rest of us if perpetrators were more worried about their reputations. I don’t know. There needs to be much better legislation and penalties.

[@Annie6460]

Super to see the young ones come visit during lambing season…..wonderful experience for them Cammy! My husband asked if you have people come stay to help out during lambing season….. yes, the birds sound beautiful. ❤️🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@user-ni8fm1mq3k]

A lot of shepards I am watching are having massive lambs this year - yes it was a wet winter but it didn't get cold cold so the grass kept on growing - NZ had a wet winter 2023 but the summer we have just had was warm but not hot but so dry very little rain - most of the countries farmers are in drought and many are having to feed the stock - that it is this winters rations is not great

Since you are still having issues with loose dogs I would recommend getting a pair of Great Pyrenees dogs. They are very competent flock watchers and will also control your fox population.

Sheep rule the “Help I’ve fallen, and I can’t get Up!”

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

This period of wet weather over lambing time has been a bugger. There's more in the forecast too. The dog walkers are just brainless, selfish gits for letting their dogs approach the field. Even if the dogs don't actually enter the field or chase sheep, their presence at the fence can make the ewes bolt and thus cause lambs to become separated from mothers. That bit of shelter from which the woods give to the field will now need to be sacrificed by you using a line of electric fence to keep the sheep well away from the fence line. Maybe more 'in your face' big signs are needed to ask dog owners to keep their dogs away from the fence might help ? Probably not though...the owners will just say 'my dog isn't going to do anything' and ignore any request. Tits.

[@monikahadfield4619]

I am glad we are not the only ones who try to fool the ewes with pretend delivery 😂

[@philiphill8006]

With your second cast ewe I was pleased to see you do exactly what I do however I always hold the ewe since a few years ago I pushed one Over and she ran off side ways looking ok but next day she was stuck on her back and one side of her udder had been bitten clean off I hope the weather starts to help you in the coming few weeks

[@TheSheepGame]

Cheers Phil. I always just judge it on how gassed up they’ve got and how long since I last saw them. Most of them are checked every 2 hours except overnight of course 👍

[@patsyolson9243]

That was what I was thinking, put an electronic fence by the fence by the walking path. That way, the dogs won't come through and chase the sheep and lambs.😊

[@emmasmom60]

Cammy, can you put up some electric fencing along that fence where the dogs were? You answered my question just a minute or so later, but I was thinking more that you could jolt the dog and the owners! It must be great to have Marrisa helping with lambing!

🇨🇦 stopping at 4:44 and thinking in my head . Would it be possible to take a few pet lambs, from the shed, along, to foster onto these great moms with loads of milk, right in the field , with all the fluids readily available ?

[@lizzythomson4461]

Hi Heather, we would only do this on a single and really the singles have been so big that it wouldn’t really work with one of the pet lambs which is often a smaller triplet, we did try one the other day and bought it back to the pens but the big lamb kept bullying off the smaller lamb so we just let it go back as a single. If we were lambing all singles and triplets in a shed we would likely try a few more. Hope that helps.

[@heatherd212]
