Sorry about the dog attack Cammy. As a person who watches farming media it just feels like this year dog attacks have been more frequent. Something has to be done about that law, it just feels like people don’t care about the livelihood of farmers or the welfare of their stock.

Not another dog attack 🤬 So sorry Cammy. As a dog owner myself it really angers me that people don't keep their dogs on a lead; increasingly few of them bother to train their dogs either. Don't worry about the videos being repetitive, there is always something new going on in your uploads. I think if you try to pander to those with the attention span of a gnat you'll go round the twist!

As an other angry dog owner who enjoys your "adventures" with the sheep but not being let down by dog owners who cannot keep control of their dogs thank you for honestly showing the consequences. Chances are that the owner of the dog involved usually does try to keep it securely fenced in or on a lead in the vicinity of livestock but failed to train it to avoid livestock, so that when it did find itself free to chase that is what it did. Owners fail to keep the dog on a lead for so many reasons. Leads break or get pulled away. Dogs being held on leads trip their owners or pull them over. They come across sheep unexpectedly on a walk when the owner thinks a lead is not necessary. They escape from cars and gardens not wearing a lead, and anyway the owner is not with them. They run off after rabbits and the owner loses them. Maybe the law does need changing and not just as it recently has been to have harsher legal penalties AFTER the event, but just making the law that they should be on a lead just gives a let out to people who cannot be bothered to effectively train their dog and would penalise well trained dogs and their owners and most of all STILL be ineffective because even people with strongest intention to keep the dog on a lead will often fail. Certainly the law should not ban e-collars, probably the most effective way of training pet dogs NOT to chase sheep. You want dogs under control, not necessarily on a lead.

I've been watching the Hoof GP for 3 years now and if the repetitive viewing of watching hoofs being trimmed hasn't bored me yet, then watching your channel isn't going to bore me either 😅 Through your videos I am just absorbing information about the day-to-day grind of sheep farming and I have learned so much. Massive respect to you all who work so hard in all weather and conditions... farmers deserve a lot more for what they put in. I've known that for years but seeing it in detail like this just proves how much goes into feeding a population. You're looking quite weary today Cammy x I hope you got lots of rest after making this video and are feeling better x glad you made a profit and hopefully when that debt is paid you'll reap the rewards of all your hard work and determination 👏👏 Yeah, I started watching you through THGP because I liked your passion and that deserved a Following.

Morning Cammy - sorry to see the impact of of idiots who can't control their dogs. While the dog control laws in Scotland are not the best but do still state dogs shouldn't be out of control. The number of owners that don't exercise effective control of their dogs is outrageous. It's not hard - use a lead unless you know can control the surroundings and know exactly how the dog behaves in that setting. Right to roam is awesome but people need to be responsible 😢 13:15

Farming isn't always exciting, life isn't always exciting. This is some of the problem with social media, it promotes excitement when the mundane is well, commonplace. I appreciate your candid rounds. The minutia of daily chores is where we should all expect to live. Dog attacks are simply unacceptable. People, get your dogs on lead and under control. If you want to run them off leash, buy and fence a property to hold them, farmers build fences to hold in their animals, not hold out dogs, wild animals are going to come through what we can afford to build. We build to our purpose.

I’m Canadian and was a responsible Golden by Retriever owner. In Canada at least on the Atlantic provinces there are very places you can walk off lead, like proper hiking trails and then only if your dog has proper recall. We never or I never have seen, any of our trails crossing over people’s farm property. Many dog owners have fenced backyards for that final pee of the night. So very sorry for you and the poor little lamb. That is not acceptable. Trail cameras I think are your answer. 😢

I just wanted to say thank you as you’ve given me a lot of education and I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for farmers and the work they do 24/7. Cammy is there anything we as subscribers can do to help in getting these laws changed regarding off leash dogs and their attacks of livestock? Petitions? Maybe a station or two need to do a broadcast on this issue, today the attack may be on sheep, tomorrow it could be on a kid/person, a pet on a leash. Best wishes to you and your family. ❤❤

Hi Cammy, I felt so bad for that poor sheep. You should at least contact your government representatives. Send them pictures of the attacked sheep and document how many attacks and the financial loss for this whole year. Get other farmers to do the same thing. In the US, we don’t have open ground laws but in the city, state and national parks and in local neighborhoods, dogs all have to be on a leash. One other thing, I think a lot of us just enjoy watching you and Lizzy work with your sheep. We, of course, love to see wee Jock and wee Angus. And I just enjoy listening to you and Lizzy talk.

I raise dairy goats, and I have one that the neighbor's dog chewed one of her ears completely off, leaving a 1.5" (3.75cm) circle of skull exposed. It took a couple of months of antibiotics and cleaning the fly larvae out of the healing wound, but she recovered, and the skin closed over the bone. This year, eight years later, she gave me twins again. I hope your ewe recovers as well.

What @TheWickedLilly said, Cammy. I am fairly new, but I am so engaged by your vlogs, your family, yourself and watching the Sheep experiencing their Farm lives and going to auction etc, I am also watching every vlog from the beginning 4 years ago. I love the Shearing, but I also really enjoy the high intensity and dramas, the successes and beauty of Lambing time too. And yes, the laws need to be altered, and I also think that tons and counties that allow dogs to be owned, [hopefully they need to be registered too,] should have to pay a small amount into a fund to compensate farmers and citizens who have endured damage due to dogs being off lead and unsupervised. If ALL owners have to pay for the damage created by a few owners, I suspect the citizens will start demanding more care and responsibility for the not controlled dogs and such attacks as your poor Ewe suffered will become a rare thing. I also suggest creating a fund, and maybe doing a live stream at some point with the intent to raise money for some security cameras to be set up to catch these dogs and their owners when they are entering the fields to worry the sheep. I'd say mobile cameras, with solar power, and some metal poles to set them on so the humans cannot move the cameras to hide their faces, since you rotate fields as needed and can't get THAT many cameras for fields you do not own. I say this because I live on 150 prisint acres in Southwest Virginia, in the Appalachian Mountains [near Abingdon VA for the curious] and we had to set up cameras to catch some escapee dogs who were coming into out yard so they could access a neighbors fields, to worry his pig and his cattle. These dogs are aggressive to our dog, who never is outside unsupervised, yet he would be set out to pee and BANG, a dog is in the yard and acts like they want to fight. So, We caught the dogs on camera and sent the footage to the police, to the owner, and to the local Animal Regulation office. This in turn meant the neighbor was able to sue the dog owners for vet bills from attacks to his calves [who were verytender and new when they were attacked, despicable,] and of course, those dogs were suddenly kept on lead in their yard and are no longer visiting out lands. I hope something can be done to protect your flocks and the properties you're grazing them on. Some people simply find it thrilling to see their dogs chasing 'wild' animals, including sheep and cattle. Bullies abound these days, just disgusting.

Hi Cammy, yesterday we had hounds from a local fox 'trail' stray onto our land. There were at least 12 hounds on our 4 acres. We have sheep, pigs, rabbits and cats all could have been seriously hurt yesterday if we hadn't seen them. I have never been so scared for my animals safety before and I don't want to feel like that again. We had the police and dog handlers out because the huntsman left some of their hounds behind. The reason I'm telling you this and hoping that it's a topic you could bring some attention too. We live in modern world now where things like hounds don't need to used for predator control. Locally we've seen peoples cats be killed by the hounds. Do you think that as a sheep farmer and someone who has suffered injury and death to their stock by dogs that more needs to be done to stop it?

Dogs are certainly dirty and people let them lick their faces. I know you don’t have the time, but I nursed a ewe back to health who had the skin ripped off behind the ear down to and puncturing the parotid gland. Shed time with daily saline spraying and triangular bandage dressings. The would healed by granulations. You could actually see the new skin growing into the raw wound, which was quite fascinating. She was one of those ewes, with reasons best known to herself, who would run to greet me and join me in the daily flock inspection. Sentiment got in the way so I kept her too long resulting in her last lambing being complicated by lambing sickness.
@dotcassilles14887 ай бұрын
Once an animal has spent time with you and you have earned their trust they don't forget. You become family, part of the herd/flock. Your ewe remembered you helped her.... An animals trust is a special sort of bond. I knew a massive black Angus bull who followed me around as a teenager while I did chores. He watched out for me and waited patiently for me to finish. He knew he would get an apple or carrot and I would scratch his itchy spots on the top of his head and along his spine... He had been a bottle baby, handraised so the farmer could collect sperms for artificial insemination or so he loaded easily onto a truck to go visit his girls during breeding season. I greeted him when I got home from school every afternoon "g'day gorgeous". Those two words became his signal to come to the gate whenever he heard them. Just like a dog. I've been around animals most of my life and most of the time if you are gentle and calm they pick up on your energy. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot

I can't believe there's been another dog attack 🤬 My dogs have never been allowed off around livestock but if I was ever responsible for my dog injuring something (somehow 🤷♀️) then I would find the farmer and compensate/accept prosecution. And how can it be repetitive when you are documenting the life of a sheep farmer? Yes there are the same jobs you need to do but your story is always evolving. I don't think you realise that we love you and your family (and friends) as much as seeing everything else 😊

Don't know about the laws where you are but with your pinings/other ones you know will die before sale you might be able to sell them privately for animal food (not to companies but directly to the owners). Like where I used to live previously in Wales I used to get pinings and lambs that were stillborn/weak/wet got to them etc from a farmer I knew for my dog & cat (as I feed them raw) and a few guys I know in the UK and Ireland Republic have similar arrangements to feed their pet giant snakes, monitor lizards, crocodiles/alligators, big cats etc. Only time we wouldn't get the lambs is if they've recently been medicated like wormed, dipped etc. So normally the guys we have arrangements with if they know it's not gonna make it would avoid treating it so it's clean for us when we can pop over and get it. How it was for me and those guys is we weren't buying the lamb's. The farmer gifts us the lamb's and we gift them some money/cover some super expensive driving costs if you get what I mean... It wouldn't cover the looses but it would close the gap/reduce losses for them as they aren't having to pay to remove them, saving the money on trying to medicate them to keep them going long enough to go to market plus as for people like us a whole lamb (no matter its condition) is still valuable you can "charge" more p/kg then they would go for at market. And typically people with those animals or feeding their dogs raw got the money to pay a fair bit more then the £10 the market would pay for the pining one at the beginning in the hedge, like most I know would happily gift £30 for just her or a bit less per head if getting multiple or £10-£12 for still borns etc. Just make sure to point out if you got any implants like cobalt and if so where they are so the owner can remove before feeding off. Don't know how many/if any people are around you that would be interested but might be something worth looking as even if it's for any lambs you come across already dead as long as it's not in bad heat and hasn't started to rot you chuck it in a cold room (or if winter when it's cold anyway just somewhere dry) you can phone them up to see if anyone wants to come and gift some money before having to call for it to be officially removed. Just a thought.

I ahve a suggestion tho too! Cammy, I think you need to get some different animals to watch the sheep 24-7. For instance, a burro for each field. Donkeys are protective, and even aggressively defend any other animals they are pasturedd with. Also, Llamas are used in the US as Guard Animals. They are dangerous too, but sheep have no problem sharing space with doneys or llamas, while they will at least scar the pee out of most aggressive animals seeking to worry your sheep. I don't know if they can help against to Fox issues, but they certainly can make any dog or human seeking to interfere with the sheep very sorry they tried to approach! Maybe speak to Katy and her wife at @rightchoiceshearing about this idea? Oh, and some might suggest getting CAMELS for this, but, I'd think they wouldn't do well in Scotland, while donkeys and llamas are already there and do nicely in the environment.

Sorry to see that owner off dogs keep allowing to hurt the sheep it is so sad. They should be jailed for this. It is sad that sheep go through this pinning is there any reasoning in why they just want to die like that. Love the channel and your family.

We have bad bastards here, even folk born into our area, that think it is their God given right to be going out with these bastard dogs bogging, drowning and savaging sheep. They even go out through the night and take off signs and gates. The cops are hopeless! Something needs to be done!

Hey mate from Australia. We run mixed cattle sheep and horses. This last winter we lost 9 sheep from dog attacks. We have a small flock. Unfortunately both our neighbours dogs were responsible. Once they get the taste it's impossible to stop. We have miniature horses the same size as our sheep. We had one that started it. Found her with her face half ripped off. Were going to put her down but she showed fight so got the vet and it took a long time but ended up with twins so worth the work. Locally we have also got a wild dog issue with many locals having to use merema dogs and donkeys. We caught the neighbours dogs. Both sides it's so hard and heartbreaking. Love Ur set up

The cluelessness and selfishness of so many of my fellow dog owners never ceases to amaze me! With their careless disregard for their pet’s INSTINCTS to chase, catch, and kill things (does your pet chase a ball or toy? Does it rip up or shake its toys? Does it chase things at all? It HAS the hunting instinct to KILL!). These boneheads are also the ones who fail to clean up their dog’s poop, left about in public as if it is a natural part of the landscape (it’s not!). And the laws to punish offenders, even if caught on camera, are never serious enough to punish the, for the damage. Off leash dogs are a MENACE, full stop!

I wonder if you could do a program with your sheep at the local school? Teach the kids what is going on in the fields around the town. Then they go home and tell their parents about how important it is to keep dogs on leashes and not to trespass onto your farmland? I know it’s not your responsibility, but it might be worth getting more of the community invested in local agriculture. I wish law enforcement would do more too.
