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.

Thanks Cammy for letting us see that sign. It made my day! We all need more humour in our day.

And I have to do both.😅
I could watch sheep shearing all day long. I wish you would bring the camera and just show us sharing.
Skin conducts electricity - just ask your sheep about electric fencing. The thing about the back of the hand (you could try it on the electric fence?) is that you won't "grab" the plug/tool/wire when the shock causes the muscles in your hand to contract. I think.

Absolutely correct.
No one interviews the sheep, before and after shearing 🐑🐑😏Guarantee they feel lighter, clearer and cooler. Great job guys. Food looked so yummy. Great way to dry your clothes. I stepped off a step stool top step and ran my left side info a kitchen island. Still bothers me after two years.
Farmers are the salt of the earth. This was very entertaining as usual. I hope you and your family are all well.
That heat has been enough go melt you without the hard work of shearing a wooly sheep. Glad the farmers take care of you with food and drink. I hope you aren’t sore from slipping off the board. cheers to David for taking the teasing well. 👍👍😊
I liked the music for the 5X shearing. Reminded me of Benny Hill. Yeah, I'm old!
I had to turn on the closed captions, I have only one working ear. They really made me smile. Apparently you had a great feet put on for tea. Not only strange words from the Scots, but the sheep bleeting was called applause and the barking dogs were music. You were accompanied well. I don't do heat well so I congratulate you and the team working though it. They say that in Europe it's the hottest ever recorded. I think we in Canada were up there too but our records only go a couple of centuries back.
Alan goes to show that it isn’t about being muscle bound. The wiry ones usually have the most stamina.
Cracking video. Always full of banter
The standard food for winter and early spring shearing in Indiana (USA) is chili. "We're having chili for lunch. You do like chili don't you?" The next day, the same thing, "You do like chili don't you, we're having chili for lunch." Chili for lunch is a standard joke among shearers in the Midwest USA.

Some chili is good, and others not so much. You don't want to overindulge in chili and tgen go out to bend over shearing. Burp!
Love watching the hand shear
Absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage .. as always great video .. TQ Sir
Love how all of you work so hard and really enjoy each other.. despite the HEAT LOL! Thanks for sharing!
Hot work, at least you weren’t outside! 😅
Hi Cammy and the crew. Great video. You guys had to be burning up. What a job. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤❤❤❤
Love to watch the shearing.
Love your laugh.
A boy Cammy another good video 👍. 297, go find the man 3 sheep somewhere 😂😂
Thank you so much Cammy. 🙏💜
Very graceful fall. Hardly noticed at all.
I love to watch the shearing. I love to see the spread of good food that the nice people put out for you. I understand that vegetables are very expensive in Scotland.

Gosh that must be a long hard day in the heat. Well done lads and lasses. David and Lizzy need to speak up or I need a hearing aid. Glad Cammy repeats most of what they say. LOL
I love watching the shearing thanks Cammy for another great video x
I miss my sheep thank you for letting me watch your awesome videos.
Completely admire all you guys shearing in that heat,its hard enough work pushing ewes up the ramp,although one thing i notice you guys do not have loud music blaring out ,our ewes were murder to get up into the shearing trailer this year ,I'm convinced they were terrified of the music and thats why they did not want to move our squads have always sheared to loud music probably required to dull the sheares brains so they can keep going on long hard days

In fairness John i turn the music off to film so I don’t get copywrite strikes 😅. We listen to music but not too loud. I usually wear ear plugs anyway and don’t really listen. 😁

That was funny the way the one sheep was stomping them looking at you like it was saying let's get this show on the road.
Carbs & Caffeine! That's what's important! Keeps a body full of energy! Who needs vegetables? Those just keep you "regular". Lol.

Hi Cammy! It’s always nice to watch your videos, even from June❤️👍 the heat this summer has been astronomical, everywhere! Not nice at all. Lots of rain storms as well. Comical signs🤪🤣
Heat is hard on workers and sheep
Great electric jokes on the big fan!!
Great video Cammy as always how many did you shear 👌💪
Can you tell us on occasion why the moccassins have become the footwear of choice for shearers? I imagine if you get stepped on they don't really offer much protection 🤔
@TheSheepGame

A few benefits but mainly grip, thin sole so less reach to the board (less pressure on hamstrings), keeps your ankle free to move, makes ur feet smaller and more nimble.

Google subtitles straining hard to process the Scottish accent, Cammy's "for a living" is written "at 11". Lol.
Is it "Farmer's Choice" as to whether or not the tails are docked? My personal preference is to do it; not only reduces the possibility of fly strike, but makes for a cleaner sheep.
@TheSheepGame

Yeah the farmer decides hit generally it’s the breed that determines if tails are docked.

@@TheSheepGame, thank you for your answer. (FWIW: I think mulesing borders on inhumane. A docked tail, IMHO, is better for preventing flystrike.)
You need a new Olympic event....synchronized shearing!
Do the combs on your shearing razor get hot enough to burn the sheep?
I’m disappointed that we can’t get a adult pink hoodie
You burn calories off before you eat them. That heat can wear you down!
When's the interviews out
🐨👍
Why do you keep count, do you each get paid per sheep.??
Just wondering if David is a south african hence the shirt? Not often you see south african shearers in the UK!

What are you doing with a landmark singlet on
If its your trailer and jobs etc, and the farmer pays you per sheep Do you pay the lads the same per sheep or do you take a cut? I've seen lads charging between £2-6 per sheep, what do you guys charge
How much do you get per sheep?

David is so white it looks like he is wearing a white tshirt.
Cammy, I can’t work out the psychology of shearing and how the shearers remain so good natured! Is it not just a bit depressing looking at hundreds of sheep knowing you are going to be bent double over them shearing for hours, before you move on to the next farm to start the process again? And why do shearers want to do it on their days off, turning it into a sporting venture with competitions?! It looks like back breaking work that no one would want to willingly undertake…
Why are your videos so scarce lately cammy
