ABOUT ME
I’m 33 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 s a Police Officer 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 1200 breeding ewes.
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!
Since starting The Sheep Game I have met Lizzy and had two incredible boys Jock and Angus. You will see them all on this channel!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

Lambing Squad. I hate censoring the videos to appease KZread. From tomorrow we’ll be back to uncensored and we’ll just take the hit. Anyone who signed up as a member will get a longer version of the video each day with no ads. Sorry about all this. It’s a big hit to us but i’ll keep pushing the merch store during lambing and that will hopefully make up the difference that we lose from KZread. Sorry team, Thanks for the support, Cammy

keep blurring them. viewers need time to adjust to the new way of doing things. You need the income, so keep doing whatever protects you guys best. to hell with a few complainers, 99% understand it and can cope.

Came you shouldn’t have to take a hit on this. People are just unrealistic in their idea of what sheep are. This is real sheep people not Disney world little sheep jumping around in a cute fairy world. If you don’t like what you see but you still want learn real sheep farming then shut you eyes for the stuff you find a bit too raw. Really people grow up!
KZread is foolish for making you censor a FARM CHANNEL. Love your content

Ah just KZread being big children
I’m not a farmer, a landscaper by trade and through watching your videos I passed a field today with sheep and saw a sheep on her back and badly swollen, threw watching your videos I had the sense to stop and help her over, My good deed for today thanks to you buddy, Watching from across the water in Northern Ireland
It's heart breaking to see poor meg trying soooo hard to do what she knows and loves💔
Just want to say how amazing you guys are as a family unit and wider team on the farm! I appreciate the opportunity to get a small understanding of what you guys go through in lambing season. It’s really sad hearing that you are struggling at the end of that video but just know you are doing the farming community a real service by showing these struggles. You keep it real and that’s what us viewers love. Much love to you and Lizzie
I love the gallery pics at the end showing the fans in their merch.👶🏼👨🏻🦰🧑🏻👧🏼👩🏻🦰🐏🐑
Spot has really changed the catching lamb game! Meg is trying so hard and wants to work! She can’t help but want to do what she’s supposed to do. Beautiful dogs!!! Beautiful work from everyone!!!
Cammy your a real trooper its tough going during lambing and it’s an absolute credit to you and your family to show warts and all of your life’s on the farm I just love your videos. I help on the farm next door a few hours in the evening feeding and cleaning out pens so the family can get a hot meal so I have the greatest respect for what you do with compassion and care of these beautiful sheep.

Love Meg and Spot! Great teamwork. Hope better weather comes soon 😊❤🐑

Cammy, I hate that KZread requires you to censor the content or lose funding!!! Somewhere I saw a farmer on KZread that altered a birth video by changing the section with the blood to black and white. The section was still perfectly visible to the viewer while making the scene acceptable by KZread's crazy standards. Best wishes to you, Lizzy, the kids and your team from Kentucky, USA!!🙏❤

Have you seen the Meg portrait offered in the Artwork section of their store? Beautiful. I previously bought the sheep breeds poster, and the quality is exceptional. Premium paper, beautiful print colors. So impressed, I’m thinking of buying the Meg print.
Anyone else get drunk watching Jocks camerawork? lmao (not complaining btw it's bloody adorable). But on serious note, Cammy please stop apologizing about blurring things. It's not your fault yt is a muppet about what they show and what they don't. It's totally fine. It's clearly shown that the unblurred one is available, so no1 has a leg to stand on if they bitch about it. Ignore the haters, the lambing squad are here in force to give em a kick if needed lol
Sending hugs to everyone at the SheepGame ❤ you're wonderful. Thank you for doing what you do ❤

Lambing always seemed an endless round of chores to me growing up, but only a couple of weeks later, you look out over the paddock and watch a group of lambs playing while their mothers fill their bellies and all's right with the world again - until the next farming disaster! The highs are what you remember as you get old, Cammie.
You’re doing grand. Each day is another day gone of lambing and nearer the end. Love watching you all. ❤
I love watching you and Sandi Brock’s channels for the knowledge you both provide. Thank you
Cammy, keep your head up. It'll be alright. Keep showing us life in the raw and I really appreciate the jock cams, I know he's a rascal but it's great.
Jock is living the best life! Nice to see the sun for a bit
What could go wrong with a game of hay tetris lol. So glad the sun has finally made an appearance. How nice was it that a sheep game subscriber sent you and the team a box of Scottish food to keep you going tho lambing season. I tried Square sausage a tattie scones for the first time 5yrs ago on my first visit to Bellshill Glasgow. Was so impressed took some back down south when went home.
Impressive hardworking! All with a sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your life! ❤
Grt video again Cammy .All the best from County Kerry Ireland .Shocking weather ☁️ here too at moment .
I really hate that you tube stop all the lambs being born. That is just part of farming life. Is someone doesn't like it just watch something else. I think something being born is so beautiful to watch.
Praying for good weather for your lambs
Up around NYC, so i know nothing about farming, so I really enjoy your channel. I am old now and living in Florida and learning about sheep farming. I have visited Scotland several times so I know what a beauty Scotland is. My best to Cammy and all your lovely family...Lizzy and the two little lads and that lassie too.
Great video, as always. Glad you guys got to see the sun, at least for awhile!
Cammy, thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
I feel for you Cammy. You know your stuff and you'll deal with whatever tomorrow brings you. Another great vlog. Keep going, you know you love it. 😊🐑👏🤩
Your oldest is a real rancher. DAD!!!
Cheer up Cammie, you're getting free mental health care from all of us. Yesterday's vid was great but the best part was Jock and his top knot, screaming away in his seat. And you talking away as if he was a perp. That had me laughing. I got some good advice from an older farmer up in Maine years ago. Go with your gut. Best advice ever.

Sunshine... Tomorrow is to be wet and windy again though. My wellies split down the side of one foot yesterday during a boggy woodland walk. They have had so much use this winter that they have finally worn out. Your poly tunnel will transform things next year. You just have to get through the rest of this soggy season and get a more weather proof system set in place for the future.

Dear Cammy…I hate for you to take the KZread hit and just hope merch will make the difference. Especially with baby girl coming. I love your vids daily in lambing and it does make me sad that KZread has done this. I’m retired in US, on pension. I will sub to your other channel and still buy merch when my next ck comes. I get so much enjoyment at watching you Lizzy, Jock and Angus every day. Melts me when Jock runs to you and yells dad with open arms! Know I’ve told you before he reminds me exactly of my grandson Emery. His younger brother, Liam, reminds me of Angus…they’re all the same ages. I do have to tell you I wanted to come put raincoats on those lambs last night…but you’d probably have to load this NaN into the wagon when done too. Keep healthy and safe Wilson family…you bring joy. 🙏🏻🫶🏻🐑xx
Awww Cammy...you can only do what you can do. And that's a mighty lot you do. 🙏🙏I pray the weather turns more to sunshine and warmth and that the lambies have more of a fighting chance. Blessings to you and the family!! 🙏🙏🤍

I've been in that depression Cammy, sleepless and got kids and a family relying on my work, pulling 15-18 hour days and needing all the hands I could. Something good about "tomorrow coming" is that it gets you one day closer to being done. The sun rises and the sun sets and the earth keeps spinning, with or without you man. And that's a good thing! You won't be in the doldrums forever. All you have to do is keep your head above water. Breathe through it, eat those cakes and pasties, sing your heart out, and hug your helpers. I'm pulling for you and all the farmers out there right now in the swamps of April.
You are an amazing couple, watching from Vermont,USA. I was brought up on a small dairy farm and knew very little about sheep farming. But with your and Sandy B channel I feel I now understand so much more. See even an 80 year old woman can always learn new things. Thanks so much for
Thank you for teaching us all about sheep farming and true grit! Watching and learning from Canada and wishing you a nice long spell of warm sunny days!☺

So sweet that Meg just wants to be involved, and you have the patience to let her be. I am amazed at how quickly Spot has refined his technique during lambing time. Such awesome content, Cammy. Really enjoying it! Well, have been for a long time but still enjoying it 😁
Hello from Ontario, Canada. When my senior dogs became arthritic, my vet prescribed metacam. It really helped. I squirted the metacam into their mouths (without needle on it, of course). It really helped with the pain and inflammation in their joints. I look forward to your videos every day. Incredible amount of rain you've had. If you get much more you will need an amphibious vehicle. Spot is "spot on" when he's given his instructions. He's an excellent investment. You're all doing a wonderful job. Best wishes.

Daughter of a Borders out-by shepherd here. Back in 50’s and early 60’s we had neither electricity in the houses, nor off road transport. Most sheep had single lambs, and Dad taught me to bring twins in for him, off the hill face to the twin field. I got to take his old dog with me for that slow job. Times have changed, but the hard work and stresses haven’t. Thanks for sharing things as they really are, I do appreciate seeing the life I grew up with still carries on, and wish yous all the very best.
Hang in there, Cammy and crew. May the guardian angels bring you warm, dry weather and good lambing.

If you ever start giving tours of the farm catching a sheep should be the #1 activity. 2nd is a ride with you driving out in the fields in the backend not inside. I imagine it would be fun for you too if there weren’t lammies to pull and big ewes to catch. Cammy you are doing a great job. You have an awesome and beautiful wife and spunky boys, one of which loves to help his dad. And the awesome home and herd. Don’t kick yourself so much we’ve all had it happen. ❤️😁💪

You, Lizzy, and the team are doing an amazing job despite the horrible circumstances. I am so impressed every time I watch. I wish you fair weather, easy and healthy labours and eliveries, no foxes, and no dogs. Question: what percentage of lambs are ewes and rams? 50/50? (No worries if you don't have time to answer.) My very best to you all. #jockcamrules
You’re doing such a good job. The weather makes it so hard and you do the best you can to help ewes and lambs make it. And what a great job fostering lambs with ewes who have had losses. I sure do wish there weren’t so many restrictions with content as it’s such an important teaching how to lamb. I just love how you are including Jock in the work. Your team work with Spot is improving with every day of lambing. Grspeat job Spot. Meg sure is happy to be still working part . 💙💜
