Shetland x Cheviot ewes... The right sheep for the job?

[@donnajones9749]

Cammy, I'm from Texas USA and speak with a strong Texas accent. I watch you every day and caught myself saying Wee Lambie. Your accent is catching and it's hilarious coming out of a Texan !! Love your videos!

[@TheSheepGame]

Brilliant! U will be saying Lie Doon next 😁

[@habslover2306]

😄

[@ashleysmith2109]

​@@TheSheepGamespent so much time watchin' Scot and Irish guys working dogs my 'away' comes out more 'awaaaaeeeeh' now lol. Seems to work good for our dogs though.

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

Don’t be so hard on yourself, I was raised as a sheep rancher, then we moved and raised cattle. It’s not simple! To give each one the proper vet care, it’s complicated! Each device works differently! You are doing a good job, it’s better you forget a battery or to switch on a mic than mess up the vet care!! You have your priorities correct!!

[@heatherwatson7692]

Made it to the end! I don't think I've never not made it to the end of one of your videos. You always keep bringing in incredibly informative content. I enjoy your humbleness and selfless attitude as you learn each time you handle the sheep. As a teacher, I always appreciate the teachable moments that you fit into your videos like you did with Fern and Meg's Gathering of the sheep. Thanks for all you do for all of us who watch. I'm from Tennessee in the USA.

[@mizzstrawberry_]

True fans of The Sheep Game always stay until the end!!! WE LOVE LONG VIDEOS!!!

[@eaglerider-1]

A shepherd's daughter here. Never heard of you, before you and your mates rescue Fiona. This is the first video of yours I have watched, and I loved it!

[@Whatisa_name]

Loved a long video this Sunday Cammy. The process of getting ready for spring lambing looks so stressful on the wallet. Good luck to you all there. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@eoinconheady8455]

Great video as usual Cammy. 5 mins or 50 mins long we'll watch them 👍👍

[@FrokenEngstrom]

Agreed!

[@tygerm00n]

Indeed! Love from the USA!

[@haggielady]

Actually the longer the better!

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks everyone!

[@louannekeast8575]

Agreed and I'm not a farmer nor never have been. Just a retired lady that loves to watch your videos.

[@Finallyretired2022]

Probably easier to shop for the family than the sheep. At least you don’t have to break out math to feed the boys 🤣 Love watching your videos 🤣

[@barbaralavoie1045]

Hi Cammy! You have quite the setup going there. Also quite the procedure rounding up the other group and depositing the first ones. Looks very nice there as your sky is very blue and lovely. I always watch all of your videos, Cammy.

[@grassfolk]

The autocatch, and sorting functions of the te pari equipment are a complete game changer - I hope you don’t regret the spend

[@brigidconroy2111]

Ditto what a cool assistant No backtalk either😂

[@jodymaley3674]

Reminds me of those days you are so organized, until reality sets in, deep breath and a prayer, keep on farming

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Your videos could NEVER be too long Cammy, NEVER!! 😂

[@TheSheepGame]

You're the best!😁😁😁

[@elaineewen6635]

Don’t mind how long videos are, the longer the better as always love watching you and the family ❤

[@TheSheepGame]

Brilliant.! Thank you Elaine!

[@phoenixrising3219]

I not only made it to the end, but I watched it twice! I personally prefer longer videos. The ten to fifteen minutes seem like a waste of my time. I like to sit, relax, and enjoy what I'm watching for just a bit before continuing on with work or whatever task I'm currently involved in

[@TheSheepGame]

Great to know! Thanks!

[@quellepagaille1570]

Loved the long video!

[@annekabrimhall1059]

You have to watch it twice to understand the “English”

[@phoenixrising3219]

@annekabrimhall1059 that's rude. Be thankful he even makes the effort to speak English. If you're so unhappy about watching a video twice to "understand the English" Cami is better off without you.

[@RICDirector]

Youll get the ear for it, just watch more!

[@WhatHowWhenforWhomWhatpurpose]

Thank You, I appreciate your videos even if I'm not a farmer or live in Scotland. Long videos with or without endings/ sound/ batteries, they are all good.

[@amypeterman9387]

❤That was an Incredible Video Cammy ! I didn’t want it to end 😃. You were telling us it was too long and I didn’t ever want it to stop 😂. It’s ever so fascinating to me every single thing that you do as a sheep farmer and business man. I love how you show all the aspects of the things you are doing with the sheep and aren’t afraid to show that minor “oopsies” occur with the meds etc… your human like the rest of us . To me it just shows how much of a real man you are that you show everything. I also have to comment about people who say they can’t understand you , I am from the Midwest in the USA and all you have to do is Listen 👂 and you sound just fine! You be you Cammy . Don’t stress about your accent it’s all a part of you and your wonderful. Also wanted to say about the people commenting on Lizzy needing to speak up or needing a better microphone, Frankly speaking They need to Listen with their own Ears 👂she spoke very clearly you could hear everything she said the entire time . She was simply Marvelous even in the pouring rain and in the wind and with the rain coming down while she was in the trailer you could still hear her no problem. Lizzy is amazing and so are you Cammy you have a beautiful family with Jock and Little Angus and a new one to join Congratulations Lizzy is WonderWoman !!!

[@cricketd2932]

Texas here. Just found the show 'This Farm Life'. Was amazed at how much Sheep Game Merch they sport. Good on ya!

[@TheSheepGame]

haha it's crazy eh! Everyone has been very supportive of us here in the UK..... and the states =D

[@evie9239]

bloody love anything with shetland in it. I always think they'll be lambing in the apocalypse while we've kicked the bucket 😂

[@peg4x449]

All the way to the end :) I have no sheep.. Well, nothing but 2 cats. I love to watch your family, the dogs, the land.. the sheep, the new equipment and the neighbors

[@TheSheepGame]

Awesome thanks for watching and commenting!

[@judyphillips7892]

You are my hero, so any vlog is a great vlog. The sixty seconds with the music was fun. I always enjoy seeing you and your teammates working and caring for your flock! Thanks for sharing your time and your thoughts with us all.❤

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Judy 🥰

[@judyphillips7892]

Please take the advice of your elders, and get an X-ray of your ankle! You will save yourself time and pain. If it needs some further treatment , now is best. We care enough about your future to urge you to take care of yourself! 💖. I was glad to see you wearing boots to give it some support.

[@azamyahmad]

As always beautiful lovely captured and super great videos .. appreciate your beautiful sharing .. Merci beaucoup Monsieur

[@nataliegraham9552]

Oh yes, Cammy, I always watch to the end! I was happy to see those supportive boots on your feet after the last video and that terrible ankle, ouch! It's funny, I was wincing at the very start of this one when you were buying all that very expensive treatment at the store - double ouch...😬 The lambs are looking great. Thanks for all your effort to bring us along while you work. Stay safe and well.

[@suellenspencer-eb2nv]

You're walking pretty good. Glad the boots are working for you. Blessings to you all. You work so hard to keep the farm in order.❤❤❤

[@claymonsterpottery]

Made it to the end. I truly understand the struggle to get a process rolling. It always feels like it takes more time to prepare for a job and get stuck in than actually doing the job itself. But you’re doing all the necessary things that prevent troubles in the future. Take care.

[@kathybradbury]

Your videos are always a treat…they could be 30 minutes and keep me focused-which is really saying something! Lol!

[@lesleygreirson589]

You know Cammy I love watching your videos they always make me laugh. I enjoy the way you make it informative from even us viewers who have no knowledge about sheep or farming without it becoming too jargon orientated . You make it clear that you too are on a learning curve . Maybe you can tell me though is it just my imagination or has sheep farming overtaken cattle farming. If so why ?

[@TheSheepGame]

Sheep have always been bigger in Scotland but lots of other countries would be beef and dairy first.

[@jldisme]

Yay! Nice to see the Tarff Valley shop again. That frame to hang the bottle from looks like it works great! Well, maybe you needed to dose yourself... lol. Are these gimmers? You probably said, but I missed it. Aw, Cammy, watching you blether and faff around brightens my day. I just remember how much you HATED this job before the Te Pari. The 60 second montage was great. It won't be long until Jock will be opening gates for you. The video wasn't too long. I enjoyed it very much. Props to Lizzy for the great nursing. Glad you have good boots so you don't roll that ankle again or God forbid, the other one!

[@AndrewLaird-lh1ms]

You have been clipping at my farm before love all the vids and giving some of the public an insight to farming in Scotland

[@TheSheepGame]

I get about! Thanks Andrew!

[@tammykaltreider]

As I look at you Cammy as you set up at the beginning…your words keep running through my mind…”What could possibly go wrong?”…Cammy my dear one, you absolutely make my day. Soooooo, how is the ankle now?

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks Tammy! Still not good! Might give in eventually and go for an Xray!

[@haggielady]

Go for the X-ray ASAP. If no one's told you, I can see the pain in your face. This is the Mom in me coming over to Scotland to boot you in the arse.

[@tammykaltreider]

@@TheSheepGame take my heartfelt advice…GO FOR THE FRICKIN X-RAY…please

[@marvinjensen6415]

I love your videos. With all the work you have I wish I could give you a hand. I grew up on a small farm with around 60 head of cattle so I can sure relate to the never ending work load. I live in the western United States so I can’t help out though.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks though! I'd love to get out west some day!

[@jnetbeams]

Excellent video. Glad to hear about the cobalt.

[@TravisPotts-bm2rz]

First time commenting and new subscriber to your channel. I’d love to see a video where you outline your breeding plans. You have so many different breeds and combinations you are working with. It would be cool to hear the breeding decisions you are making and why.

[@cornbeef]

It's funny with videos you enjoy as you only realise it's "long" when you mention it and I check the timer to find it's been 18 minutes or so! I find everything you say fascinating and feel I've learned a lot from watching you. I have no sheep, no fields, no farm and no time to be a farmer, but if I ever come into a position where I can, I'll be thanking you in person!

[@philomenahearn1717]

I always watch your videos to the end - unlike some other channels I watch - coz you’re always entertaining but also educational …. And damned amusing with it.

[@TheSheepGame]

Thank you!

[@dt8ustotten285]

That was an awesome video.. not too long.. just right! It was a very REAL video. You had many challenges to overcome.. what a lot of procedures.. bottles hanging over head. But you survived. Loved being just out in the field and you talking about what your dogs were doing. etc. Being a part of the experience. Thanks for sharing. Love from the USA!! Prayers that your new sheep work out for you!

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks!

[@shammamurphy4172]

Yes! I watched until the end! I think I’ve been watching your videos for at least two years now while I needle felt, and it’s amazing how far you’ve all come!

[@sharonm3677]

Always love your videos Cammy. Raising livestock is such a demanding and hard working job and I appreciate that you take time to video and explain things. I’ve learned so much from you and always love the content and explanations you provide. Be well Cammy, may that ankle heal well for you. ❤❤

[@shelleycurreen1182]

I made it. 🎉 You know, I was thinking though the drenching etc...that's half of the job really as a shepherd. Doing the Vax, drench, shear etc. That and lambing takes up most of our time. It's authentic content.

Brilliant Cammy....so much hard work but hopefully worth it....I love watching all the blogs.

Watched til the end, always. Read every comment and liked them all. Replies too. Scolded you for not getting an X-ray, twice I think. I enjoy your channel so I do all I can to make the algorithm happy. Get the ankle X-rayed Cammy.

I think i’ll Need to give in and get it looked at

[@TheSheepGame]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gregjohnston9287]

Made it to end - good again. Appreciation from Iowa

[@connordowsland7078]

Great video guys just a suggestion when your doing the pre tupping jobs what I find easier is dose the ewes and then boulose (don't think that's the right spelling 😂😂)because sometimes it help it slide down the throat 👍👍

[@crazyw8087]

Cammy, another great video. I struggle to understand you at times but love the accent. I made it to the end. What little I know about sheep, I’ve learned from watching your channel. Checking in from Georgia, USA. Might want to get that ankle checked by a professional. I’m hoping to make a trip to Scotland next year.

[@gordmain5370]

I always watch to the end especially if you are in the fields since there is a chance of watching the dogs work more. I've also heard it helps the algorithm.

[@nirvanadev]

That's nice shopping'here in Holland it's only available from the vet ,

[@TheSheepGame]

yeah I think Norway is the same

Can't go wrong with shetlands or shetland crosses. Had a few of them for good couple of years, and i've never had to lamb one, they seem to manage all by themselves.. But texel and suffolk need a hand from time to time.

I love your videos and always make it to the end. Bet they will have lovely fleeces. That black gimmer is lovely. Meg has a beautiful outrun

[@PigeonTied]

Love the videos, Cammy! Quick question about the pre-tupping management you described today. Is this a function of the breeds you’ve chosen to run? Or does it have more to do with the climate and ground you’re on?

[@TheSheepGame]

More to do with the ground and climate. A lot of places through east wouldn't need to fluke dose for example. Also ground further south will be better with cobalt so may not need to give ewes supplements .

[@Marlenesgardens]

[@TheSheepGame]

Thanks! It's not good i'm still thinking I need to get in for an Xray!

[@haggielady]

Don't wait for the X-ray Cammy. If you've broken it and it heals wrong, you'll be out having surgery to fix it. And that will tick Lizzie off, it would me, BIG time.

[@gabrieleortiz5041]

Yep, Cammy, x-ray is the move…👍🏼
