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 KZread 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.

Anyone who can shear a sheep that fast and clean is a winner in my books. ALBERTA CANADA
Don't be so hard on yourself Cammy We love to watch whatever you film for us 😊
Congrats Lizzy, great video Cam, hard to believe that everyone sheared with the shears before machines, at the end of the day your hand fells like someone hit it with a hammer 20 times !
Congratulations Lizzy. The boys are both such dolls, Jock sleeping;Angus wide awake. Cammy you are always our number 1!

Thanks Lesa!!
Oh Cam, for us you are always the winner just because of being Cammy and when you win we cheer you and when not we give you a shoulder! 😌
It’s just AMAZING how fast you guys, n gals, can shear! The sheep look soooo beautiful after they are shorn. Congratulations Lizzy! Another great video, thanks Cammy.
Shearing looks like hard work but Lizzy makes it look easy. Congrats Lizzy. Well done Cammy, so many top men to compete against, you'll get them next time. Boys are looking great. Tell Jock not to throw the winner's envelope away, that's where the money is. Gave me a laugh.
EVERY day watching the Sheep Game is a GREAT day! Thanks for sharing! Congrats Lizzie and everyone else on the Sheep Games crew!!!

Keep 'em rollin' on Cammy....... Love seeing your coverage on the shearing shows & well done Lizzy. Good to see Hamish & Callum pushing them blows. Well done to all involved.
Crazy hard work, massive respect to all competing and for everyone around the world that does this year in year out 💪🤩
Fabulous day! Congratulations Lizzie! Cammy, thanks for showing us your work with the blades. My great grandfather was a champion sheep shearer in Wyoming back in the early 1900s. It’s nice to see how shearing with blades is done.
Good to see you giving the hand shears a go, they are tough going. And definitely the reason many older sheep farmers had forearms like popeye
Well done to you and lizzy fantastic to watch. Please keep the videos coming ❤
I really love watching these shearing competitions, I wish I was there to see it for real. It feels like an exciting environment. Good on you for showing the winning with the losing and what about Lizy, I think she's a good role model for women, so good to see little Jock enjoying the experience. Great video, just loved it.
Way to go, Lizzie!!!! Aren't you glad you have electric shears now? Love seeing Jock!
Loved that, took me back to my childhood in the Borders. Great grandfather had a sheep farm ,( Cheviots). I Spent a lot of time there as a child, (64 now), you can't get a better upbringing. He won prizes at shows for his ewes and used blades for shearing, impressed with you bladework Cam, you made that look easy. Great grandfather used the old ways and would have delt with any dog off the lead with a shotgun, some say he was a hard man but when you see the results they leave I don't think so. Adore the way everyone gets stuck in even wee Jock.😊😊😊
My back aches just watching!
Incredible shearing, great job Lizzy especially with Jock staring you dead on !
👍👍That is some next level shearing! I love seeing the competitions. Well done Lizzy! You and Lizzy are the dynamic duo. Love to wee Jock and Angus. ❤️
Love, love, love watching both of you shear! I was curious of the purpose/advantages of the special shearing shoes you guys wear? Congrats to Lizzie!❤

The shoes slide better than a rubber sole and allow them to make quick adjustments with their feet

How cool is this?! Schools, workshops etc but I never knew there were competitions. I am an absolute fan and really enjoy watching the shearing videos. Best to all competitors :)
Congratulations LIZZY 🎉🎉🎉! Never mind Cammy, next time. Was interesting watching you use the shears.❤️🇦🇺🏴
Great video Cammy, thanks for taking us along, congrats to Lizzy!
Congratulations Lizzy.👏👏👏
Go Big Jock and Lizzy! 🎉 Those blades are no joke. Takes a good grip!
I'm watching this while drinking an espresso drink. My heart rate is through the roof! This is some insane speed competition. It was some tough competition. Congratulations to Lizzy!!!! You guys did all of this while having both boys with you. That's impressive.
Was that Sean commenting on your blade shearing? He don't half take the piss does he? Great video. Congrats to Lizzy. Each experience in life is an opportunity to learn, grow and do better next time. Don't be too hard on yourself. I imagine it's a bit of extra pressure when you know people are watching you a little more closely. Thanks for taking us along. Love to you all from Oregon USA

Great video, Cammy. You captured the fun, excitement, and chaos of the shearing competitions. Lots of fun to watch.
Congratulations Lizzy!
Congratulations Lizzie! 🎊 Cammy it's an exciting day, first competition for you both. I can understand missing footage. Jock is as cute as a button.
Congratulations Lizzy! What a woman❤ and shearer too.
Well done Lizzie and great to see wee jock joining in the. Celebration. Well done big Jock on your result Hand shearing..the way I remember it being done up glen ogle
Come on cammy, losing the footage on lizzy because she was on the podium 😂😂
These competitions are so exciting! Great video, of course!
Great video! I thought the announcer was hilarious when he was describing you with the scissors... "Lizzy's filming Cammy just to show him where he went wrong when they get home" ! hahahah I think the Thompson-Wilson team did a great job!

I didn't realize Lizzy was left handed. Great job🎉!
great to see the blades used, good old fashion way thanks
Great job! When I shear my own, I use a stand to get them off the ground. And I use scissors. 😂 it's great that all of you seem to get along. Just a little friendly competition.
Lizzy did a belt a, clean, no ridges, beaut job. 👍
Congrats Lizzy! Don't worry Cammy everyone has bad days in competitions, just need to remember what went wrong and improve from there
I just love the shearing videos. It must be super difficult to use those blades. Well done Lizzie on your achievement, doing it for the girls 💐🤗🐑
You have a wonder woman for a wife. As for you, you are a winner in my book.
Those girls were SO cute!!!
Congrats Big Jock, Lizzie and well done Cammie, yes we keep on learning till the day we die. 🇳🇿
It was great you do a great job doing this for us to watch.

Congratulations Lizzy! Cammy I believe we all need these experiences to keep us humble. You and Lizzy are both awesome!
Love watching the shearing and good to see some of the traditional blades. Can you imagine the sheep at the of the day chatting though? "What on earth just happened there? Are they all doing speed this summer or is the apocalypse coming?!" 😂❤
Im in shock! I didnt even know Lizzy sheared! Lol Surprise surprise! She did amazing though!!
Great video. I love watching the shearing competitions. Lizzy did well. I didn't realize but of course the blade you use on different breeds has to be chosen ahead of the shearing. It was great to see you try the hand shears.
I love watching blade shearing. It’s much quieter! Fernhill Farm on the Mendips will be having their shearing day in September. It’s a shame you’re so far away, we have a great time.
Good video
Well done Lizzie! Well done Cammie! Well done Big Jock! Well done everyone who participated! I loved how the announcer sounded like he was calling a horse race. It looked like a lot of fun, well, did the sheep have fun? Oh well. Great job! Great video!
Razor sharp blades, wiggling sheep, and a stopwatch -- what could possibly go wrong? 🤔 Looks like fun -- but I'll leave it to the experts like you and Lizzy who make it look easy
Dont be too hard on self fella it's hard yakka ROCK ON
Well done Lizzy and Big Jock (Wee Jock seemed to be doing well in the moral support department too). Well done on having a go at the blade shearing, with Alan visiting I'm sure you'll get plenty of tips!

Those shearers look like they aren't sharp enough they kept getting stuck ...sure sign of dullness Gratzzzz Lizzie you ROCKED!!!
I loved seeing the blades bit at the end!! I wonder how smooth of an overall cut one can do with a perfect technique
Lizzy missed her calling as an American action movie star. I bet she has a wicked “I’ll be back.”
I can’t imagine how hard this is!
Writing this with the complication of new collie pup wanting to play, English side of the border. Serious competition at Lesmahago made for a brilliant video

Great job great video .. TQSM Sir
happens. You get onto the next one and put it behind you. Jut think you're doing Archie with doubly thick fleece. Thing about Lizzie is that she never looks like she's working hard. If she played tennis, she'd be roger Federer just breezing through and making things look easy.
Really enjoyed this video congratulations Lizzie your day will come Cammy be patient. What a wonderful wee boy Jock is he sure has some great days out what a great life for a wee sheep boy.😮
You're an amazing team and family ... keep up the work promoting what you love as it's a joy to watch

great to see some blade shearing/
Congrats Lizzy,No 1 shearer on the sheep game
At about 10 minutes in, there's Jock in the background looking so stern and foreboding 😂
How the heck does Lizzie shear with her weak hand?! She’s more awesome than I already thought!
Wow that was awesome. Well done Lizzy you are amazing

Loved the video! Thank you for showing the competition and I especially enjoyed the final shear with those shear scissors ( I don’t know what they’re called…sorry). I can not imagine how sore a persons hands would be using those. I really love all your videos, you make them interesting and fun.
great vid!!!!!🦌💌❤️🐑
Could you explain the scoring system and what the judges are looking for? And explain the different levels - junior, open, etc? Would love to see a video about that.

First comment awesome cam . I’m a left handed shearer I am ...iv got Shearing videos on my KZread channel ❤ u guys & marissa & Lizzie & ❤ the sheep game 🥰😍
You should visit alaska and sheer some nordic cross sheep. Tina & Joe need help next spring. Surprised they managed as first timers.
We all have bad days Cammy
Competition can be brutal but I've found them to be the best learning, and motivating, tool around. I've felt kicked in the nards several times (tricky thing being female, that) but it's made me better. Mine was with showing Arabian horses, not shearing, but same concept (sore nuts, so to speak, ha!) Still and all, congratulations to you both. Damn good show.
You & your wife sis great. I could never do what you both can do. It be fun to try.
Well done lizzy ,how anyone could keep that pace up I will never know ,love the banter at the about you cammy so funny ,I always end up with a smile on my face when your videos come out 😂
Completely irrelevant to your awesome video, but I had to share. My semi-feral (soon to be spayed) store cat just delivered 6 kittens and I've named them: 1) Wee Lambie (almost died, but I revived him) 2) Cammy 3) Lizzy 4) Jock 5) Angus 6) Kelpie 😅
