SHEEP SHOW AND A TUG OF WAR | Fife Show 2022

[@terrimoore5181]

Lizzie is amazing to me. No matter what she is doing she brings an infant with her. Not many women would be able to do this. Nothing seems to stop her. Jock must be a wonderful baby.

[@carbine090909]

Well, what else are you supposed to do with them but bring them along into life?

[@staceyrashkin2609]

It's amazing. You rarely see that happening here in the United States. Just goes to show you that it can be done

[@keithroberts4559]

Nothing unusual for farmers wives in New Zealand.

In the US we try to get a sitter.

@@lovemesomeslippers that's a pretty big net your casting.

[@GS-st9ns]

Love how you tied Jock to the trailer with a pink ribbon so no one would pinch him , because you do like him. that was precious

[@ritamgilsenan629]

Oh Cammy, the bailing twine and Jock's pram, just priceless. 🤣

[@nanalesa24]

Always love the videos, but I think the best is watching how all the children love you, it's a rare gift you have.

[@sherkylady7765]

You make the shearing look so easy…. I know that some day we will be seeing your son with some lambs in these shows. 💖

[@Betsy-R]

Your videos always leave me with a smile on my face! 😁 ❤️I love seeing Lizzie & wee Jock “doing absolutely nothing, embarrassing me 😂😂” Thank you for showing us all the beautiful breeds of sheep 🐑. Love the 4 horned one! Absolutely gorgeous! Love your magnetic personality and quick wit. Your interactions with the children are heartwarming! ❤️

[@GotAnUmbrella]

It's a good day when The Sheep Game posts!

[@sherkylady7765]

Agree!

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks guys😁

[@casperbenj]

Made my day. Got my dose of Cammy

[@gordonhutchinson6401]

I also agree so will my dad

[@karendemorrow]

Love seeing Lizzie and Jock with you wherever you go. ❤️ she is your right hand. What an amazing Love ya'll have. You are always smiling and making everyone around you smile and laugh 😃 😀. Love watching your show Cammy. ❤️

[@duncancox4905]

Was good to see you and the family at the fife show, my daughter got a pic with you and it made her day cheers 😃👍🏻

[@LisatheGrammyScattered]

I loved watching the whole fair, with the shearing & the sheep & lamp judging. I didn't know that there were that many kinds of sheep on farms. The girls team tug of war was good fun. Looks like everyone had a good time.

[@RICDirector]

Im thinkin' Cammy had a weakness for Fife because of their red n black colors.... Those ladies are something else to watch!

[@TheWonderwy]

Those were some exceptional looking sheep! And you do a fantastic job shearing! You make it look so easy... And you carry on a dialog the entire time! Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless and take care

[@elizabeththomson2579]

Great day out, love seeing all the young farmers with their Lambs.

[@SquirellFriend]

I love the footage from your shearing demos. The snappy comments are hilarious and you're so great with the little ones!

[@Betsy-R]

Totally agree! Such a natural in front of the camera or a crowd! ❤️ You can tell he’s passionate about what he’s doing and loving life!

[@traceymcclymont7175]

Think it's safe to say that a fair few farmers are diversifying into other projects to boost their income, you have done the same , albeit in a way that doesn't suit most - being in front of a camera and talking, then publishing that on the world wide web!! Thanks Cammy, you deserve whatever good fortune comes your way!! Brilliant wee day out for the three of you,- I think Lizzie joining a tug team could have swayed the balance, we all know she is the hardest worker!!💪🏻🐑❤!!.

[@4BetterEd]

I so appreciate how well you always incorporate the youngsters into the action. This kind of attention from a real opinion leader is always so meaningful for them. They will remember it all of their lives.

[@kristinacleveland1805]

They are sheep - you sheared them - only fair to count them! Great video!!

[@lisaward7969]

What a cracking vlog So many lovely interactions with people Cammy you really are showing farming to the masses Loving Jock's wee safety chain on the buggy 😂😂

[@amysusanapplepie199]

Cammy you are such a hard worker, any good things that come your way, like social media, is very well deserved!! I appreciate your whole family for helping make these vlogs possible. I love your channel ❤️

[@CraftyLady22]

I just LOVE country fairs! thanks for taking us along!

[@mcmurphy5]

Great vlog. Looks like great show. Brilliant to see my sport Ladies Tug of War getting coverage. Well done Cam👍

[@staceyschuett794]

Excellent vlog Cammy! Well done! You are a natural born social butterfly!!!

[@carolynhennemem8227]

Thanks for taking us along. It was so fun to watch.

[@shepherd4406]

A lot of fun. In the States we have county fairs, state fairs and wool gatherings where sheep are shown. Our fiber arts group one year at fair had a sheep shearing demonstration of a “colored sheep.” The sheep was dyed with kool aid in different colors. The ram was so patient. He was a big Border Leicester. He threw wonderful lambs. Back then there were not as many breeds shown as there are now. As a spinner having so many wools to play with is wonderful.

[@user-kl3il9mw8i]

Great to see such big variety of sheep. That makes me even more sad about how our home grown wool is valued here in germany. (Merino wool used as fertiliser) And what a spectacle at the end. Nice

[@akoilady9097]

That's a shame about merino wool. It makes great clothing.

[@RICDirector]

That's not sad, that's criminal.....

[@margaretandedferriman9168]

Learn to spin and go and go and ask for some. You could save some from the ground.

[@ms_katia2267]

That was fun, I loved all the different types of sheep, some were so beautiful.

[@skyedancer3106]

Hi Cammy and Lizzy, I was so excited to see your day out. I loved it. I felt like I was there. What a great day for the family. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤️ ❤❤

[@kathylawson4139]

This was awesome!! Here in the US, we breed top winning show dogs....so competition is something I know well. Looks like a wonderful day. In an incredible location. We have 4 H shows for the kids....but somehow they lack something compared to your farm shows.

[@Denaligirljodie]

Did you notice that their first place ribbons are red and second place are blue? Exact opposite as here in the US. I thought that was interesting.

[@roundhousekickgirl4512]

That tug of war was brutal! Tough gals right there!

[@rossholmes178]

Another great vid...country shows are fabulous and clearly as important to the fabric of country life in Scotland as they are in Australia.

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Really enjoyed this one Cammy and thank you for taking us along with you. I can't remember the last time that I had been to a show, I think it might have been at Lanark in the 70's (that's the 1970's and not the 1870's before you ask 🤣).

[@boba9253]

Fantastic video, so much fun for everyone! You are such a natural presenter, whether on video or a crowd of onlookers.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Bob!

Been watching all your Lambing videos and love them, a tip I learned when growing up on sheep farms and am now a dairy farmer for 16 year, when we got/get a hung lamb or calf we rub some of mumma colostrum over the swelling. Helps the swelling go away faster 😁

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

That was great! You, Lizzie and Wee Jock are a great team 😁👍👍❤️

[@petebernhagen4640]

Another u-tube first... TUG OF WAR. Never know what's next. Your sheering demonstration was super clean. Well done

[@vwvw4]

Thanks for sharing your day, you're so great at keeping it all entertaining with your witty commentary. It was nice seeing Shepherd Ewan coming in to cuddle the last ewe you sheared.

[@astonmcleod5344]

When I lived in Devon, England, the local village had the tug o war competition our team a group of 18 year olds on the light side up against the long term champion team. At the same fair was the steam engines, I was anchor man I tied the rope to the steam engine , wee just stood there whilst the heavy weights pulled, needless to say we were disqualified.

[@parimorse9810]

Oh, Cammy!! Wee Shetlands. Thank you so much. ❤️😘

That was a lovely day out...I chuckled when you said that you tied Jock up so no one could steal him '' 'cause we like him'' ...Aye Lizzy does you proud and Jock seems to be a contented wee soul👶...the youngsters with their sheep were the next generations of shepherds🐏...they were so so proud of their animals🐑...love to the family from Perth...💌😁🖖✨

Thanks Colette!

[@christinesbetterknitting4533]

So glad to see your new post, Cammy!

[@jldisme]

Here is something I don't know if you've ever noticed. When I was working as an interpreter in costume at a historical living history farm museum, when asking the audience to participate like when you ask them to touch the sheep, did you ever notice that the kids come forward right away, but the adults hold back?. Once you get one adult to come forward then many more adults will follow. I noticed the same thing when you were doing the shearing demonstration.

[@TheSheepGame]

😁very good observation!

[@RICDirector]

Yep, when Im spinning in public, same thing.

[@jldisme]

@@RICDirector To me, I used to as a sort of challenge to see how much I could engage adults. Once you get one adult engaged then the next group that comes through will see an adult participating and then they'll participate and you can keep this going for a long time.

Hey it is like a Dog Show except it is sheep. (Dog person here, attended a few in my life and had my dog shown). I have attended some Agriculture Exhibitions in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Canada. Mostly Dairy Cattle and Beef Cattle but of course they have other things to to keep the interest, like Petting Barns for the children. Alpacas, tractor pulling, barrel racing, 4 H Club booth, Clydesdales all decked out in their finest and Oxen also all decked out in their finest. Hmmm a Sheep Show neat. (I am very familiar with a 💩 show lol), I do love those Valley Black Nose sheep.

[@schalkespringer]

You may have seen my family's Oxen team as NS pulls/exhibitions. Hereford team. Always loved the exhibitions.

[@pamelapilling6996]

Whoo Hoo more sheep to add to the shearing counter.

[@patriciaruppert201]

This was a great video. You and Lizzy and Jock are such a cool family. There were some fun activities there and as usual fun shearing. Thank you. ❤️❤️

[@greenecrayon]

That looked like such fun. I'm in Texas so I'm sure we have some sort of show I could go to here but being that we are full on summer, I'm not sure I want to, if I'm honest. Anyway, thank you for the video.

I love the 4 horn sheep. They look amazing. What causes them to grow 4 horns verses a 2 horned sheep? I couldn't hear the little boy. What kind of sheep was the large orange sheep with the black head? Clydesdale horses are so beautiful. Lizzy is absolutely awesome at rolling the wool. I was impressed.

[@TheSheepGame]

That was a Suffolk Sarah 😁

[@viscache1]

I finally bred a ram that would be a perfect show sheep but my breed is so rare that there is no judge’s category for them. They can only be judged against each other and breeders live so far apart that it’s a bit rare to ever get together other than annual conventions.

[@bg588]

For our shearing we employ a contractor who brings 15 men for 5/6 weeks. Meat for the men is butchered right there near the shed. The butcher bet the gun shearer that he could kill, skin and dress the 2 tooth merino faster than the shearer could shear a similar sheep. Bets were mostly on the shearer but the butcher won by 5 seconds

For the sake of my heart Cammy, please tuck in your jacket strings when you’re shearing. I was just waiting for that black string to get caught in your clippers.

One thing I have always found, if ya don't know where to go, there is always more than enough people around more than willin to tell you "Where to go!"

Sheep at 9:22 says no biscuits this week. Jubilee pudding, please. 👑 Poor sheep, you take her clothes off in front of these complete strangers, threaten to take a tea break, and then have these strangers pet her nakid flesh.

🤣 poor lass

[@ragnkja]

Yeah, she definitely got impatient when Cammy threatened to stop for tea and biscuits and just leave her sitting there 😁

Wow, I just noticed first place ribbons there are red and second are blue. That’s the opposite here. In the US, blue ribbon is first place and red ribbon is second. How interesting.

[@martyn450f3]

One question I've want to ask Cammy is how do you get the grease out of your clothes after shearing? Do you use something special on them or just wash them like normal clothes?

[@shepherdewan]

They’re clever sheep

[@akoilady9097]

Cammy, you are a grand showman! It looked like a great farm show. Can you tell me why some of the sheep are yellow? The boy that won the junior showman had a yellow and black sheep. Unless it's a trick of the light?

[@TheSheepGame]

They dye the wool to make it more even looking. It also helps the colours of the face and legs stand out.

[@akoilady9097]

@@TheSheepGame thanks so much! I saw it in an earlier video as well and was curious. IDK tho, I think natural looks great myself. That young man did a great job.

[@lynnstrickland9403]

[@Finallyretired2022]

Do you shear sheep in basically the same pattern no matter what breed ? Does each shearer have their own way they shear a sheep? Looks like a great time !! Lizzie is teaching Jock well by having him out in his stroller at the farm. That way he doesn’t feel it’s anything unusual or that he’s alone anywhere. You’ve got an awesome wife !

[@w056007568]

In the UK at least this is the most commonly used pattern used for machine shearing (rather than hand clipping). It is commonly called the Bowen Technique developed by a New Zealander of the same name.
