A JACOB SHEEP NEEDS SOME HELP | Day 9 of Lambing 2022

[@priscalynne8804]

Interesting to see the use of modern techniques next to the old. Love all the children and their involvement. And the 8-yr old admitting his fear of Lizzy's strength. 😂

[@jamesmason8944]

Robbie is such a lovely boy. Your little "interview" with him and your quips had me smiling. Robbie is at that transitional age, of losing his childish nature to becoming a young boy. It was delightful to watch.

[@cherylmillard2067]

Yessss!!! So cute.

[@colleenkopp56]

You and Lizzy really impress me by your talents in problem solving your ewes bestow upon you. When the ewe won't accept her lamb you put her in a stock; when you rub a lamb with the birth fluids to make it acceptable to a different mother, I could go on but you get the drift I'm sure. Your young friend Robert is quite the charmer. I would like to know what he likes doing the best and what are his plans for the future. Perhaps you could chat with him a bit more. Thank you for the tour of the meadow, stay well!!

[@koriw1701]

Aww, bless little Robbie! But I must ask you Cammy, about Lizzy...how is it that she manages a sheep farm, takes care of you AND her wee one and still looks so magnificent? I wish that I were still that young so's I could look half as tired - but just as beautiful as she does! Much love to you!

[@deedawson6074]

‘’She scares me, she’s that strong’’. Hysterical, what a Bonny lad. Loved that so much. 🇳🇿

[@billjones393]

Hello from a recent fan. I’m a retired cop, originally from Cambuslang, so I’m a townie. I’m loving your accent. Found you through Tom Pemberton (doesn’t know what ‘haver’ means! Told him to ask you) I’m 72 and not expected to see next lambing. Good luck to you in everything.

[@roadwarrior8560]

Hope you see many more lambings Bill.

[@jillcrowe2626]

I'm so sorry that you don't expect to see another lambing season. I'll pray for you. Hope to meet you on the other side one day.

[@kelly-annejenner486]

Love seeing the shed, Lizzie is just an amazing woman last year I’m sure she was pregnant and that was my first year watching but how she is this year she just jumps straight in at the deep end and dealing with little Jock is just amazing! Total respect to her. Little Robbie is great too I don’t know many people can say they’ve helped new life into the world at such a tender age well done young man, happy belated birthday to him sounds like he had a great day xxx

[@lovelightcontinuum]

I'm so impressed with how you stay positive, especially when you are so overtired. I could see without you even saying it how it 'got to you" about that Jacob lamb. You obviously have a kind and caring heart, it shows with Lizzie and your young helper as well.

[@angus9941]

Lucky to have a great lambing crew. You need a harness with a scabbard (like for a broadsword ) that you can wear on your back for carrying your scan wand hands free while on the bike. Stay safe from Canada 🇨🇦

[@cherylmacnutt2686]

You can’t do it all Cammy…don’t be so hard on yourself! You and Lizzy do a great job! Look at all your positives!

[@donnaparrish7638]

It will just keep getting better and better Cammy. Good things coming your way. Thanks for sharing your beautiful family, livestock and scenery. I like where you include the children too. Hope you’re feeling better.

[@baabaa8446]

Robbie is adorable and learning such important lessons. Very much enjoyed the video today. As always.

[@clarehagley2165]

Well done Robbie. Sandi Brock from Canada has an automatic “pet” lamb feeder she calls the “nanny”. I’m so impress with your sheep dog, she is amazing. Hi from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@Meydoosa]

Even she has said they are expensive to raise. Her flock seems much smaller than Cammy’s.

[@Woodlily617]

Belinda at Rebelstone got a Heatwave by Pyon that seems to have a lower entry cost. But as you said Cammy, the cost of the milk replacer is $$$

[@susanmarsh4351]

Apart from the cost of the unit itself and the milk replacer there is a large cost (labour) in teaching the lamb to drink.

[@mapleglenfarm8293]

Cammie I live in Maine, USA. I am a big fan of This Farming Life and I found your channel after watching that series. Now I"m a Sheep Game Fan too. I have watched every day of lambing this year while I eat my breakfast before I go to work. Your team are working hard and doing amazing. I just wanted you to know you had another fan from far away. I've enjoyed learning about sheep farming, continue showing us all about the farm community is Scotland!

[@sparklepurple24]

I am loving this lambing series, Cammy! Thanks for all your hard work!

[@TheSheepGame]

You're so welcome! Thanks for the support!

[@roguewolf7053]

That system looks like it’s even simpler to use than the Galiger system like Sandi uses and without the need for that large tablet unit. With the Herdwatch program I think I heard someone else say that once saved the data can be accessed from any device with the app & your login info. Which would be fantastic. As all you would need in the fields/barn would be your phone yet you can easily use an IPad or laptop in your home/office to plan breeding groups & look at data more in-depth. Also seems like the HerdWatch scanner is more sensitive & longer than the Galiger one Sandi uses which is always good. Although the HerdWatch scanner wand doesn’t look extremely sturdy…but I could be wrong🤷🏻‍♀️. It’s just nice to see more technology being made affordable for regular farmers. I know Sandi said the system & main unit she uses was really expensive. So if HerdWatch can deliver equal or better as far as function, ease of use & reliability at a fraction of the price that is amazing. Which should be the case from a tech standpoint since HerdWatch is app based.

[@nonalaughton9326]

First off I am not a farmer nor do I have any particular knowledge except what I have learnt through KZbin. I wonder if the HerdWatch has been developed to be a more flexible ststem more suited for the Outdoor Farmer? The Gallger System Sandi Brock uses is most likely the best system at the time for her to record her Indoor herd. Like everything else technology is always advancing, but once you have a system in place, unless you can review the product, I think you are more likely to keep the one you have until it needs to be updated & / or replaced,

[@cherylmillard2067]

*Gallagher

[@JudyHart1]

I wonder if Sandi’s Gallagher just hasn’t been updated (by her) and they’ve got a smaller wand and apps on the cellphone. I’ve often wondered this. I’ve always thought there should just be a small reader that hangs in the race and automatically registers each sheep that comes through.

[@cherylmillard2067]

@@JudyHart1 That would simplify things considerably.

[@roguewolf7053]

"Good Morning Sheep Fans!" I just love starting my day with another great video posted.

[@TheSheepGame]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support!

[@rgober60]

Was glad your day wasn't too hard Cammie. Lolol...that 8yr old that's afraid of Lizzie was precious, Bless him. But you did right to tell him you were too at times. It made him feel better. Hope you all can get some rest young man. Blessings to you and the family 🙏🕊💜🙏

[@vwvw4]

I've always tagged right ear ram, left ear ewe; then I can tell at a glance the gender when sorting lambs for weaning, etc. Robbie's priceless, great that he gets to help with lambing and that you two can share a joke. Katie's lovely with her crook and flock (definitely frame worthy) and Jake's so proud of his lamb, really enjoy the young shepherd photos their families share with you.

[@heatherreckzin2183]

Another great video. Good to hear that you’re a wee bit afraid of Lizzie. I get the feeling that you’re a wild one who needs a steady hand lol

[@justinanovak8040]

Love that you were able to get a quad, saves the legs, more efficient and sooo well timed to be helpful when you weren’t feeling well. So neat to see Meg behind you…or the random sheep on the mat. Also cool you’ve got new tracking tech to help manage the flock and $s. The sunny mornings, though cold, are glorious to see fields full of babies.

[@sherkylady7765]

Robbie is adorable. Your conversation with him was great. Lizzie is extra special. A great partner to have with all the things happening with the lambing time. 💖

[@gungadin6889]

Glad to seen you're getting some rest sleep n feeling better. You have such a strong soul mate there in Mrs Cammie. Glad to see she's strong enough to hold her own with u and that you listen to her. Beautiful scene there at the end of the day, those 2 new Cheviots fresh out of the oven with the afterbirth still fresh on the bum. The ewe tight on her babies talking n feeding them with those newborn tails awiggling. Nothing you could do for that Jabobs. Too often the 2nd twin is just in the womb too long while she's pumping out the first. Umbilical breaks from #1 kicking. Oxygen starvation damages #2s brain even before it starts down the birth canal. We aren't gods, some cannot be saved Cammy That sheep app is going to pay for itself just in ewes that reject lambs n weeding those genetics out of the flocks. Saves all that orphan bummer lamb labor Never seen a bummer bucket lamb amount to much money profit wise

[@elizabethnovak4951]

May I ask what a bummer bucket lamb is? (I apologize if I’m misquoting. If I try to go back and double check what it said, KZbin asks me if I want to Keep writing or Want to discard.)

[@roadrunnercrazy]

We appreciate that you show us the realities of sheep farming. 👍

[@rhonamallard6918]

Really enjoy watching the wee lambs in the fields. I’ve never been to Scotland even though my father (G T. Clearie) was born in Troon and his paternal line in Troon goes way back to 1803. Watching from South Australia 🇦🇺

[@wildwindfarm1279]

Excellent Cammy I tend my sheep then dash in to watch how you got on each day. You are 5 hrs ahead of us. The Herd Watch looks good for all record keeping. Would be especially helpful for pedigree flocks. I think you won the lottery with Lizzie. Keep on sheepin’ the highs will outweigh the lows in the long run.

[@laurasharp7955]

Happy birthday 🥳 Robbie. What a sweet kid/lamb child. Lol

[@AmandaTroutman]

Good morning, Cammy! Another great video, good and bad. Farming is a difficult occupation and I appreciate you showing us how it's done. All the losses are sad too see but if you counted your sheep one by one, I'm sure you'd be asleep in no time!

[@gungadin6889]

Love your vids of the field lambing patrols n action. Tough work, brings back memories from 60+ years ago pulling lambs and all with my dad n mum.

[@MellowBellow1]

So lovely to discover you here. Driving around in a messy truck with a lamb on my lap would literally make my year!!! And Meg looking over your shoulder on the bike. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

How cute is Robbie! An absolute joy to watch! This will be wee Jock in the future! Such a great lifestyle for the kids as well as you and Lizzie. If I lived in Scotland I’d come and rear all your pet lambs! LOL Perhaps as the channel grows you can get an automatic feeder, like Sandi’s. Finally, the new software looks great, definitely easy to learn and use. I hope it is a real boon for you. Take care and TFS. 😃🦘🐨🐏🐏🐏

[@thisoldnurse1521]

Cammy, I know that you know who Sandi Brock is and in one of your videos way back you I believed had to milk one of the new moms as the teats were too big for the babies. Sandi has this electronic type thing that I have seen her use a couple of times for the same reason. She used it again Yesterday's posting 11 April 2022, at about the 20 min mark maybe tad later, and she managed to get 2 large bottles full . One bottle off each side of one of her Moms so babies could latch on better don't know how often this is a problem in the sheep world but it might be a good investment. The thing attaches onto the nipple and you get the bottle that once detached from sheep you just stick the nipple provided and wham bam .... I think the bottles must be somewhere between 500-750mls. real slick gizmo. Two different ways of farming sheep but enjoy watching just the same. Sandi must be almost finished lambing now for this spring. too. 🐏🐏🐏🐏 The part of Canada where I live, lambs/sheep are kept inside for the worst of the winter and in the spring they graze in the local farmers fields and the sheep farmer next to where I live , he loads them onto a trailer and takes them to someone told me an island of the coast from The Rock also other farmers take them to the southern part of the Avalon Peninsula here in Newfoundland Canada. One of my sister's Golden Retriever's, Abbey, she loved sheep for some reason. She had so many sheep stuffies (stuffed animals) given to her over the years because her affinity for them. One of her favourites was the Sherri (ventriloquist) her Lambchop doll (dummy).... they started making Lambchop stuffies not long after Sherri Lewis died. Anyway poor Abbey loved those stuffed animals. I used to take her for walkies in my area and she was so fascinated by the real stuffies. Funny isn't it how animals become attached to things... I'm not that old but a but broken nurse, had to retire early. Love your videos. Landscape much the same as here.

Flock watch is great I wonder if they are pushing it, as UK government is trying to treat sheep the same as cattle and expect you to record the ewe and sire of every lamb. They have failed to get it through into law but think it will be hard to do especially if you put 2 or more tups at the same time then another to sweep if any ewes are missed

[@debbierogerson-forrest1008]
