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.

I love the boy in the background. He is tired and using the fleece as a blanket

[@TheSheepGame]

😁 well spotted!

[@hazetheherd2214]

Brilliant Cammy , loved the ending 😂

[@TheSheepGame]

The banter 🤣

[@GotAnUmbrella]

@@TheSheepGame How is this coming out 2 minutes ago, but also 6 days ago? Is this the magic of Patreon in action? 🧐

@@TheSheepGame does Lizzy know?🤔😂

[@cherylcampbell7495]

A sheep that can tell the weather. We all need one. Absolutely beautiful sheep. Your the best Cammy. Such a hard worker.👍🇺🇸💕🙏🐑🐑

[@pattiesidlick4658]

The colouring on those sheep was beautiful.

[@twiggyr23]

Love this! We raise Icelandic sheep in BC, Canada and I would love to go see the sheep in Iceland some day.

[@nanalesa24]

Beautiful sheep and I loved the horses too. Always nice to see you have fun no matter where you are. Liked seeing the landscape.

[@staceyschuett794]

Those are beautiful sheep! Wow!! Great ending!

[@AwkwardSquirrel13]

The sheep look like they all tell a really good bedtime story, I don't know how to explain.. but that's what I see in their lil faces!

[@kenyonbissett3512]

I’ve always thought of shearing sheep in spring, then it has enough time to have wool for winter. But Icelandic get sheared 2x a year. As a primitive breed they actually shed their wool in spring April/May. You can roo the sheep, pull the fleece off, or shear before it breaks to avoid a second cut fleece. The second cut in late fall, November, is to make room in the Icelandic barns for all the sheep to live together for winter and for growing tummies as the pregnant ewes expand. It’s amazing once you shear them how much more room there is at the feeding trough for them all to eat at once. I’m glad shepherds and the Icelandic Government have decided to preserve the leader sheep, they are a national treasure. 🎉

[@waadfrelle]

So you went for a sheering masterclass all the way to Iceland, drank pee beer end ended up with your mate in one tiny bed, eey? I laughed so hard at the ending, I almost peed myself (pun intended) 😅 Great vlog, Cammie! Huge sheep also and fantastic drone footage! The horse breed Islandic is my favorite. They are sweet and tough.

[@bekjohnston5837]

😂😂😂 Not sure if 'good craic' is appropriate but it sure was funny!! The sheep were amazing too - the way their wool is patterned is spectacular.

[@danaridings6387]

Fun at the job is a must!!!😂😂 Beautiful sheep! Love to see different sheep breeds and beautiful landscapes! Thank You for taking this American around to places I will never go!

[@katieprice4201]

Those sheep are beautiful to me. I love the coloring and markings on the skin. Their bodies look in great shape as well.

[@kathybradbury]

Great video Cammy! That wether had such a beautiful pattern-never seen anything like it. You have guts drinking pea and cabbage beer! Haha ! Never know how a different culture is going to furnish their guests room!

[@ritamgilsenan629]

Oh Cammy....that ending was priceless 🤣

[@jamesmason8944]

Classic Cammy humour in the last clip. Hilarious.

[@jldisme]

It's so neat that the wether can smell when bad weather is coming. Love the video. Thanks, Cammy!

[@tammykaltreider]

Absolutely brilliant…I have to admit I pee’d a little laughing at the end🤣🤣🤣. Y’all totally had me laughing so hard at 4 am in the morning with tears rolling down my face that I woke up everyone in the house still sleeping. Here in middle Georgia 🍑 USA!! Absolute cracking video as always Cammy…much ♥️

[@TheSheepGame]

Glad to hear it Tammy🤣🤣

[@tammykaltreider]

@@TheSheepGame that I woke everyone up or that I loved the video? 🤣🤣🤣

[@keirigilmour7867]

Brilliant as per Cammy, great view on Drone, with Icelandic Ponies on their natural terrain. . Those sheep look good 👍 Can't wait for part 2.

[@amwelty]

You're always having such fun, I envy you guys!

[@elizabethmckelvie5418]

Grand job shearing …as usual , you made it look so easy

[@workmax6526]

Gid banter. Had me in stitches at the end 🤣. Happy spooning 😉

[@kristinacleveland1805]

The ending was hysterical...and then Stu pops up and says 'night' - omg!!! hahahahahahhahaha

[@Redlim262]

Absolute quality that ending 👏🏻👏🏻😂

[@lizhrubik3936]

What an adventurer you are, thanks for taking us along. Looks like a beautiful place. 😊

[@Cricket2731]

Sandi Brock's (of Sheepishly Me) daughter Jess, just vacationed in Iceland. She said the place is beautiful!

[@mjallenuk]

Bloody hilarious ending... Fascinating sheep and nice people 😊

[@brikramberg8084]

I really, really enjoyed watching this. Didn't even know these breed of sheep existed and they are super stocky! Beautiful. Also enjoyed seeing the ponies. So curious.

[@coolcpa3321]

My sister is a textile artist and buys plenty of wool from Scotland. She spins beautiful yarns from it. The speed at which you work is quite impressive. Enjoyed watching your video from my home in San Jose, California, USA.

[@dooeck594]

Such pretty sheep. So satisfying to watch. Iceland is beautiful.

[@tamnoneedforalastname6775]

Nice drone work! Love the icelandics running! .beautiful wool! And a great ending!

[@astra1653]

I did wonder why y'all wear moccasins when shearing, and now I know. Absolutely beautiful sheep, simply amazing fleece.

[@gabrieleortiz5041]

Never lose your sense of humor, Cammy! 😁 Good day’s work, beautiful sheep and new friendships. 🍻

[@annahkurtin5345]

Fascinating patterns on the sheep's bodies.

[@michaelwalsh648]

Great video, hilarious ending!! We went to Iceland in August 2021, fantastic natural beauty of the land, great food, and very friendly people. Icelandic horses very prevalent. They collect pregnant mare serum and use it in the pharmaceutical industry. Thanks again for another great video!

[@kathylawson4139]

Lol.... You boys look cozy! This was fantastic.... So cool to see different kinds of sheep and watch you travel around sharing the life style. The Icelandic ponies were pretty nice too.

[@rmil4531]

Cammy I loved the markings on that first big sheep you sheared. You’re like two school boys on a school trip…You’re some boy!!❤️🤣❤️

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

What a beautiful adventure! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

You are the best Cammy. 😁😂👍👍❤️ Those are some great looking sheep ❤️

[@kitcanwood745]

Thank you Cammy, i really appreciate a shearing video about Icelandic sheep. Lovely! 😊

[@m.gailwieterman1987]

You are so careful, it's delightful to see. Great job Cammi!

[@casperbenj]

Good laugh at the end. Don't tell Lizzy. Also liked the young lad behind Cammy when he was shearing the wether, he was rolling in the wool from a previous shear, settling in for a nap.

[@kwalsh1968]

I love your content and your sense of humor. I'd love to visit Iceland but I'm sure I won't so I'm happy to travel there thru your videos. Thank you and I pray all is well with your growing family. ❤️

[@bjaustin2922]

Beautiful sheep, great place . Brilliant job. You two guys are like two giggley litte boys. Lots of hard work, I'd like to live there . Fun video .

[@AmandaTroutman]

What gorgeous sheep and what hilarious lads! 🤣

[@pjk1714]

Tight space to sheer. Incredible sheep. Your back is going to feel it. Thanks for sharing

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

So nice to broaden your horizons... beautiful sheep.

[@claymonsterpottery]

I’m fascinated by the geology there. I’m absolutely dying to get my hands on one of those fleeces to spin! Under there the sheep are such a beautiful black luster. Fun travels. Question, are you there to learn, teach or just work? Stay well Cammy! Omg! The ending. I’m crying!

[@TheSheepGame]

Bit of teaching 😁

[@jimkinloch2360]

Just love the ending brilliant

[@classicambo9781]

God, if anything like our bunk rooms in for a smelly, loud night there! 😆 Thanks for the video Cammy.

[@TheSheepGame]

🤣

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

That is the most beautiful black and white wool! Would love some natural yarn!!

[@danielawinkler4658]

Nice speckled sheep Thank you for the video

[@tiffinid8961]

Icelandic wool is my favorite wool to rug hook with. I order it directly from Iceland when they have a sale. Beautiful job shearing!

[@samanthasimental3788]

Love the video. The ending was the cherry on top.

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Cammy laughing my head off at the ending 👌🤣🤣🤣

[@Whipkick2]

I loved my trips to Iceland. Still a wild wasteland.

[@ja6368]

Always interesting❣️very funny😝

[@joshuamutabazi]

The last word hello guys was so funny 🤣🤣🤣🇺🇬🇺🇬🙏

[@viscache1]

The modern professional electric shears were created from the design of the early dental drill design. It has been adapted to many industrial tools but the shearing machines are the most widely used.

[@barbalbers8920]

For a minute I thought the red emblem on your moccasins was blood. Thought you'd knicked something on that whether! Was feeling so bad for you injuring the first one you sheared! 😆 You are such a preformer! And your shenanigans are infectious and everyone wants to get into the act. Such great entertainment!

[@TheSheepGame]

I sometimes think that and then realise it’s just the laces🤣

[@wendyrowland7787]

Reminds me of a Morecambe and Wise comedy sketch at the end. Nothing like a working holiday with a bit of education thrown in.

[@Korsvejgaard]

The kid under the fleece is adorable

[@milansheepman7828]

Sounds like a spectacular breed😀

[@bobm5500]

One of your best videos yet 😂👍

[@traceymcclymont7175]

Great video Cammy, little bit of everything!, even comedy and blooper!!😂😂😂 Iceland is a beautiful place to visit and it's people do remind me of the Scottish. Thanks for filming your visit for us,👍🏻🐑❤.

[@cheriecade2333]

Beautiful sheep and hysterical ending!

[@IamNotANumber]

Brilliant! That ending was epic lol

[@falconk9]

ok, giggling here...the hyper lapse, look at them all on their phones LMFAO !!! It's like an American road work crew, 1 guy working, 6 standing around chatting lol. Okay, enough fun !

[@45ltr]

FFS Cammy, that ending was something else 🤣🤣, cracking looking sheep though

[@azamyahmad]

Absolutely another fabulous beautiful uploading.. million thanks again for sharing.. have a wonderful blessing weekend to you and your lovely beautiful family.. take care stay safe.. TQSM from Canada 🇨🇦

[@lovelightcontinuum]

Absolutely love the opening scenes with the Icelandic horses and scenery. The sheep are beautiful as well of course. And you! Hysterically funny there at the end, just your up-beat self. Love the haircut on you, too! Wild.

[@Liz-M]

Great video Cammy, loved the ending 😂

[@howarddavies9677]

Good Stuff Cam, Iceland on my bucket list so thanks for the insight, good looking sheep .

[@Whatisa_name]

Saw the video early on Patreon, just as good on the main channel. Love seeing your Sheep adventures Cammy. Cheers.

Legend thank u!

Loved it ! Thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤😊 🐑🐏

[@skyedancer3106]

Hi Cammy, very beautiful sites. The sheep are amazing looking. What a handful to shear and huge. Thanks for taking us there. What a fun ending. 🤣 Take care and stay safe. ❤️ ❤❤❤

[@suzanneippolito8716]

Lovely sheep...and great video.

[@vindeljay]

You guys are hilarious, have a good experience. cheers

[@melissagoetz8847]

Icelandic sheep are the best! ❤ the videos!

[@jonathonnichol9582]

That's some rough looking country. The sheep are in great shape though. They certainly look bigger then the Icelandics that I've shorn over here in Canada. I've always thought its neat that a shearer can travel almost anywhere in this world and find work.

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah we’re very lucky with that 😁

[@laurabyrd4298]

Classic ending 😂😂! Love watching ya from Michigan 🇺🇸

[@unnargardars438]

Yess finally you come to my country hope you had a great time😂

[@TheSheepGame]

Brilliant😁

Great video, n a fantastic ending 😂😂😂

Cheers John 🤣🤣

[@carolcurtis2220]

Interesting you went to Iceland. Sandi Brock’s daughter was there recently too.

[@TheSheepGame]

Yeah she was away before i got there😁

[@connalmutts]

Great video loved the ending 😂

[@junco477]

Great stuff. Thanks.

[@pixie706]

You kept the ponies entertained.what do they use them for. Grand job of shearing Cammie as usual and a change of scenery for you

[@lorlorslinger9617]

They're Icelandic horses (anyone that's dealt with them will tell you that they're definitely not ponies). They're used for riding, they're 'gaited' (like a Tennessee Walking Horse) & they're famed for their tolt gait.

[@sarahmael1414]

Your videos are very educational and entertaining. Wondering why wearing boots is harder on the hamstrings. Thanks so much

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Sarah. Because ur further off the ground u have to reach down further to shear the sheep.

[@vwvw4]

So much fun to watch you and Stu have so much fun. The Icelandic sheep I've seen here are nowhere near the quality of the sheep you're shearing. Lovely breeding program, there. Great video as always!

[@shannongraeber6578]

That was priceless you are the best.

[@nataliecowling2716]

Nice sheep and ponies, great ending 😂😂

[@nenechonlisboa4127]

Wouah these sheep are gorgeous :)

[@Sean-fb7cy]

Never had any interest in sheep just sucker cows and cattle. But now I’m hooked.

[@dawnmaclellan7831]

Beautiful sheep!

[@GotAnUmbrella]

I see all the Icelandic ponies you were talking about during the Livestream!

[@garlicbreathandfarts]

Nice sheep! We also have pretty awesome old sheep breeds in Albania.
