ABOUT ME
I’m 31 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.

We run 700 Suffolk mules and you will always have deaths regardless and people who may comment saying ‘why do you have so many deaths’ likely aren’t educated on what we can lose during lambing and the fact you lamb a majority outside it’s admirable that you show the issue you do have and not shy from that. We lamb inside for all and it’s not uncommon to have 4/5% loss inside let alone outside do I tip my hat to you Canmy

You're doing a fine job. I'm sure many of the viewers just don't realize that some times death happens at birth and that's just the way it is. Heck, many of your viewers are Sandy's viewers and for some reason they forget that she loses about 10% lambing in a barn. That's just the way it is. The other thing is you tend to focus your videos on the problems and not the hundreds of lambs you have alive that you haven't touched. Let's be real, I'm sure you have as many viewers that have never actually seen or assisted the birth of livestock and think it's like a person giving birth in a hospital with a doctor, nurse and other professional staff ready to assist and millions of dollars of technological equipment at their disposal within a minute. That's not reality for a farmer trying to earn a living and feed his family. Keep up the good work and if you don't want the people commenting on the reality, show more of the success that you're having and less of the challenges, as it seems your videos are focused on the challenges... Thanks for the video and I hope the weather improves for you and makes the rest of lambing easy

As for me, I have assisted the birth of hundreds of calves. Even one loss was a failure. And seldom was cold rain or predation a factor. I’ve fixed a prolapsed uterus, given intravenous medication, intramuscular medication, and made sure the calf had its first colostrum, often between midnight and 4:00 AM. No, not sheep, but parallel. So leave me out of your generalization. 😊

I am absolutely fascinated at how the two of you work together. All the commands and her response. I did see a video the other day where you translated the commands for us. It was very helpful. I wish I’d saved it so I could study up. Again, this video is amazing. Your efforts with the “difficult” cases was stellar. I can only speak for myself I guess but I want to see the good, the bad and the ugly or I’d be going to a petting zoo. It’s always fascinating to learn something new.

Anybody who is leaving comments about the amount of dead lambs has never been through a lambing season but you will never please everyone. I appreciate you keeping it real and showing all the problems and all the positives. I've lambed sheep for 20 years and just when you think you have everything sussed mother nature will let you know who is boss. Also, I'd have left that lamb carcass out for the fox, with 100cc's of gramoxone injected into, not trying to be controversial but I believe you are entitled to try and protect your animals by whichever means.

@@mimidavis2686 Where have you seen this? I've had Mammoth donkeys for years and know dozens of people with standard donkeys, all of us living on farms with high coyote populations and I've never heard of nor witnessed a donkey killing a coyote. I have seen standard and mini donkeys attack sheep and literally lift them by their fleeces and toss them as well as kick sheep and trample them if spooked. Most donkeys won't differentiate between a fox and a border collie when either is worrying/working the sheep. Also getting a donkey that will actually guard is hit and miss and though they graze, they also require maintenance; farrier, can't go on lush pasture as will founder, etc. I can say from experience, there's no comparison between a donkey and a guardian dog, the guardian dog is far superior as it creates a territory through scent marking that a donkey doesn't and also works day and night. That said, for Cammy's situation with people walking dogs near the property a guardian dog would be a bad choice as it would likely go off the property to go after people's dogs.

In all mammals, Ive been told, by neonatal specialists, dogs, sheep, pigs, cows, etc., regardless of negative events or not, the average is 10% loss across the board. Birth is incredibly dangerous and stressful and you lose young and mothers. It's the rule whether you do everything perfectly in a beautiful specialized modern birthing set-up or a feral pig drops a litter in the woods. You do the best you can.

Whether Cammy chose to use donkeys or livestock guardian dogs for flock protection there is one significant obstacle. It is my understanding that Cammyand Lizzie rent fields for their 800 plus ewes and lambs. As such the fields are spread out rather than interconnected. As such a flock protection animal could only patrol one field with a few sheep with their lambs.

Thank you *so much* for sharing your experiences with us & especially all the precious lambs!💜 I really need the distractions & smiles..especially right now..as my grandfather in law just passed away Monday & the wake was last night with the funeral today.😔Since both of my own grandfathers passed away before I was 4yrs old…my grandfather in law(PawPaw)is the only grandfather I’ve ever known. Him & MawMaw welcomed me into the family with open arms when my husband & me began dating at just 15yrs old. PawPaw married us at our wedding when we were 18yrs old which was almost 21yrs ago now. So they have been my grandparents for 24yrs..almost a quarter of a century now. Losing him is especially difficult as my MIL(his daughter)passed away in August at 56yrs old from cancer & my FIL’s mother(who I never met)passed away in January.😔😔 PawPaw passed away on his 81st birthday. PawPaw & my MIL were the heart & soul of the family…who made things happen & who were always there for everyone in the family & many others. My MIL was a second mother & like a sister to me as well. BC she had my husband when she was 18yrs & my own half brother is 17yrs older than me…meaning my MIL, half brother & SIL were all nearly the same age making my MIL often feel like a sister at times. Out of everyone in the family PawPaw & especially my MIL are who my husband has always been the closest to & in many ways I was closer to them than my own family since my dad passed away from cancer in 2005 when I was 22yrs old. The fact that both me & my husband have lost a parent to rare cancers without any successful treatment options is gut wrenching. That experience & loss is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone but especially not my husband.😔😔What has made losing my MIL & grandfather in law even worse is the fact that due to her being on chemo & PawPaw having respiratory issues…we were not able to visit or hug them much the last 2.5yrs due to COVID.😔 As the LAST thing we wanted to do was give either of them COVID possibly causing them to have to spend their final days alone in the hospital ICU. I’m just glad PawPaw was able to be surrounded by family & friends when passing since COVID rates here is very low. But THANK YOU for providing a distraction & some smiles…it means more than you will ever know❤️❤️ -Wow😳😳 I’ve been complaining & struggling with gas(petrol) at $4.259/US here in the extreme southeastern US! Which we have the lowest gas & diesel prices in the US due to the fact most refineries are in this area. So roughly $68-72 for 16-16.5gal to completely fill up my Chevy SUV at $4.259/gal. *Meanwhile* you just paid £107.44 for 60 liters! Which equates to 15.85 gallons for $139.672 US dollars!!😳🤯😳😓 I’ll remember this next time I feel bad about the price we pay per gallon! Also in the last couple of days gas(petrol) has dropped to as low as $3.709/gal for regular unleaded & $3.909-$4.059/gal for mid grade!! Which I use mid grade bc in my specific vehicle(2010 Chevy Equinox SUV 4 cylinder)it SIGNIFICANTLY increases the mileage I get per tank(literally by 75-100 miles!) & since my husband drives 40 miles one way for work 5 days a week & we also have to drive that same distance one way for groceries, doctor appts, pharmacy, etc bc we live way way out in the middle of no where in the country/woods surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest. We now end up spending $275-350/per 2wk paycheck! Which when you only make $750-850/per paycheck…that’s rough.😕 Especially since I’m unable to work due to being disabled because of multiple chronic health problems…his is the sole income.😕

I love watching your videos and seeing all the beautiful lambs. Oh don't forget to put the gate up where that sheep was going to jump in the water. It's just leaning against a wall. Takes a couple minutes to fix and will save you a lot of problems later with other sheep 🐏. Great videos.

Cammy, you reminded me of Minnie Pearl with the tag hanging off your headband! Minnie Pearl was a country singer in the 70s and she always wore a straw hat with the tag hanging from it. hahahah I'm loving this daily content and especially love when your mom came to see if you were okay...you are never too old for those mama bear instincts to kick into high gear! Lizzy ...what can I say about her besides, she is 'some lass'. Amazing! You are surrounded by an amazingly supportive and hardworking group of friends and family.

Fair play to ya proper hard workers facing outdoor lambing in that weather pure hardship. My sheep game has got no further than 2 pet lambs 12 years ago but if I ever do keep sheep after the last 2 videos it won't be Cheviots anyway proper nutcase sheep. 🙈😂

The lamb that the ewe had must have died, so they skin it and put it on another lamb, which may have been a triplet, and foster it th the mum that lost her lamb.😊

What a great video, first time I’ve seen a rope used on a lamb I don’t think most of what happens is negative in the sense of failure. It’s more nature occurring as it does. Foxes kill and eat that’s a fact of farming not all births are successful. Just keep doing what your doing it’s hard work you and Lizzie are experts at it.

Jesus Cammy you must not have a minute to yourself with all this work and then editing a vlog everyday, don’t think any of your viewers would mind you missing a days video. You need to look after yourself while trying to recover from covid. So interesting how the different breeds respond different ways during lambing. Diesel is a wild price, although yours seem a penny or two dearer than ours here in Northern Ireland. Great videos and a great staring role of lizzy, you and wee jock in landward. Was able to catch it on the iPlayer

You are both heroes to rescue these wee ones and going above and beyond to save them. Can the county help you deal with the fox because he or she will continue to pick off the babies? Maybe move the remaining ones to a different pasture. You are both smarter than me. Bravo for your cool under the heat of crisis.

You, Lizzy and Meg are some team. Dont know how you do it and keep smiling. One question, how long can the lambs hold their breath when they are stuck being born or when being pushed back in to sort a leg being stuck the wrong way. As always brilliant video.

A lamb, or any mammal, doesn't need to breathe until the placenta detaches. However, it may detach while the baby is stuck, or trauma from being stuck may kill the baby
