These RAMS live on a REMOTE Scottish Island

I travelled all the way to the Shiant Isles in the outer hebrides where I 'helped' the team to take the rams out to the girls that live there permanently.
And by girls I mean sheep.... female sheep.
There is so much work involved in keeping sheep on these islands but these hardy souls don't let that stop them.
I hope you enjoy
Cammy

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 wish you had the time to do more of this kind of a real movie. 💖 Then tonight watched again with my husband. He loved it and wanted to look up the islands on google maps. Glad to see you and the shepherds get so many thumbs up.

Thanks do much u are very kind!!

[@sgtsharon4336]

Greetings from Culver, Indiana, US of A. I grew up with feeder calves and chickens (Northern California). My son wanted hogs (swine). So we compromised and had lambs for 8 years until he went to college. I miss the woolly butts in the pasture. He also experimented with different breeds of chickens, ducks, and geese. I don't miss butchering poultry. My sons visited from Texas and Pennsylvania and they both made fun of me for watching you and Sandi Brock on TV. Love you, your family, and your lambies. USA sheep association decreed we use "lambs" instead of sheep to help throw off the stigma of "mutton". I am not sure, but I would guess lamb makes people think of posh dinners and mutton of immigrants huddling around a big pot and camp fire.

[@TheClashen]

I watched this from a rather unique prospective. I was lucky enough to have been brought up at the farms in Inverness run by the Scottish Department of Agriculture. My Father was the Farm Manager in charge of 1200 Tups (Rams) and 250 Bulls on multiple farms, Knocknagael, Beechwood and Abercalder being the main ones, around Inverness, that were hired out to crofters all over the Highlands. I have always thought that was a scheme put together by very forward thinking individuals, great stockmen, all those years ago. This scheme allowed crofters to improve their stock with bloodlines they didn’t necessarily have the means to achieve by themselves. I often wonder how stories like you have told would have been in the Highlands without this scheme. Enjoyed the video, maybe the scheme I have just highlighted would be a good subject for someone like you to tell the story. So the knowledge of its legacy is not forgotten. The scheme is still going for Bulls but not now for Tups(Rams), I like to think it was a victim of its own success which was always they way it should be. Very much a give a man a fish story. I look forward to future releases.

[@westzed23]

Thanks for letting us know about this. Great way to improve the stock. I hope getting the bull's onto these islands was easier than these tups? 👍🏻🐃🐏🛥⛰️❤️

[@TheClashen]

@@westzed23 Funnily enough they actually made a feature film about putting a bull to a fictitious Island called Duna which was suppose hence it was called “ The Duna Bull” it was shown in cinemas as far a field as New Zealand. It was filmed at Knocknagael and the North Coast of Sutherland. It was featured in a BBC documentary a few years ago in which my father was interviewed. In the film the bull swam ashore however at times bulls had to be craned on to ferries, so it was hard to get them to their destination at times but even harder to get them back lol.

[@TheClashen]

@@westzed23 Your film made me also think how we got a few surprises in December as kids. We used to get parcels sent to the farm house, which as kids we used to initially excitingly rip into, thinking it was Xmas presents, only to get a bit of a Tup. The reason was if a Tup died on a crofters they were required to prove that the Tup was dead. So on one occasion we opened the box to find the full head of a Blackface Tup with a note that it broke its Jaw. Yep the jaw was broken probably in attempting to get ashore like on your film.
