What a stunning fleece. Any home spinner would love this fleece

What an honor to be chosen to shear such a valuable animal.

The subscription man was so unexpected. Love the editing. Thanks for the laugh, pal! By the way, this is another extremely pretty sheep breed and I'm grateful you always include the breed's information before you start the shearing process. Great video!

Damn your like a magician!! Started with a sheep and ended with a cow!! Woooww! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really hate how we have forgotten the value of natural fibers. My “green” daughter was shocked to hear that most synthetic material comes from fossil fuels. Of course, everything has to come from something natural to start. I hope we dump synthetics and get back to nature soon.

If people raising alpaca and llama's have their way, synthetic will be gone asap.

But after collecting the wool it has to be processed using fossil fuels in order to mass produce it. I do believe I haven’t seen many women carding, spinning and weaving by hand these days lol. And wool is only good in cold weather. Itches like hell on your skin

What beautiful sheep! I’m so thankful they are treated with kindness and care and love. He’s so trusting…God bless all farmers who treat their animals with love. So good to see. :)

Most sheep have "magic" button on their butt. When they are on that button they are very calm. My Icelandic on the other hand...... that 1 struggles and really doesn't have a butt button 😄😉

One pound for that fleece? I spin yarn and would LOVE to have a variegated fleece like this one to play with. If you spin it “in the grease” THEN wash it and knit a sweater you could spend your winter looking like Full Montey lol . I love it

Hi, Would be able to shear a marino sheep or a Jacob sheep? Love your videos. Watching from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦.

No, I do not live in a rural setting. Have never owned sheep. Did have a Border Collie growing up who herded us and every other thing that moved. But this is just the BEST series. I had no idea about breeds of sheep, so this is terrific. Really appreciate the information about the breed and their wool. And then the shearing is fascinating

My sister had a sheepdog who herded the massive number of squirrels that lived in their heavily wooded backyard. I think it’s a deeply Ingrained behavior.

I Have a question Do you think it’s possible for other animals besides dogs to learn herding skills? I know there are Guardian dogs , but what about another species like 🐖 a la Babe who actually herded pigs. I know that it’s a child ‘s story but I have always wondered

I think that wool would make some smashing yarn. Dyed a natural purple dye you'd have purple and black to knit into a sweater. I am so tired of people getting upset that we are putting micro plastics into our water systems but they don't then value natural wool (or even cotton) that doesn't shluff off non biodegradable plastic microfibers when washed. Cammy you've got me thinking about making a little cottage industry LOL

What a handsome boy, shorn or no. Excellent shearing skills.

What a handsome fella. Imagine if every sheep was as cooperative as this guy?! Your job would be a breeze! Good luck in the shows Fullmonty!

Monty was a true gentleman. What a fabulous looking animal & looked even better post shearing. Job well done.

BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED SHEAR! no second cuts which is so important to anyone who will be spinning this boy's wool. Congratulations! and well done

I never saw any sheep like these before. Here in the states, I'm used to seeing black or white sheep, but not spotted like this..He's just beautiful!

There are some Jacobs Sheep here too as well as Shetlands who come in black, white. brown, fawn and spotted versions. There is also a color pattern called English Blue with a black base white teardrops by the eyes and from the shoulders to the hips they progressively get grayer. I had some brown English Blues too. Some even had spotting as well.

You seriously need to teach the shearers in North America how it's done!!! Your one pass was 10 times better than anything I've seen by any youtube shearers in North America. I would love to see a breakdown of all the equipment - from the different shearing tools down to those special boots you wear. Love watching your channel!

His colourings are amazing. ❤️🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beautiful ram. 💕

I looooove your straight up shearing videos. I was watching at the beginning and thinking "Those sure do look like my Jacobs, but without horns, and there's something else..." and then you mentioned the texel, and I could see it! Then you mentioned that they're great for future breeding stock, or the dinner table, and I have to say that yesterday I finally, after two years of having sheep, cooked and ate home-grown meat. My family didn't think I would be able to do it. They said I'd be too soft. And they might have been right, if my 3 year old wether (who, I think, had an undescended testicle, so was half castrated, half not) decided to go from being one of the most sweet animals I owned ... I was thinking of teaching him to pull a cart he was that sweet and obedient and loved to be around people.... to turning into a murderous devil. One day I was checking on the ewes to see if they were planning to *ever* have their lambs, and he suddenly decided he hated my guts. A 150 lb animal, armed with four horns, two of them 24 inches long and pointing straight forward like a dual set of unicorn horns.... that was terrifying. I first realized things were going sour when he backed up and then launched himself at me. I grabbed his horns as he was fixing to ram me, and thus only got shoved off my feet. But the next 10 minutes was a fight to stay alive. He kept coming at me, and I kept him from killing at me by a mixture of screaming at him and confusing his charges, ducking behind the trim chute, and finally grabbing one of my lambing jug panels leaning against the barn. Not that it was much of a barrier. I thought he was getting food aggressive, maybe, and I put him in the summer pasture (about 12 inches deep in snow at the moment) and brought him a bale of hay to put under one of the trees with some bare ground. (It's not set up for overwintering animals)..... and he sniffed at the hay, and then turned on me again. This time I had the hay sled I'd used to bring hay into the pasture. So I didn't have a big fight. But 5 days later, he departed on his way to freezer camp. Yesterday I had what the amateur butcher I "employed" marked as filet mignon. Very tasty. But now I have just the ram, my seven ewes, and two lambs so far. No wether to keep the ram company, so he's trying to breed the girls who are massively pregnant. And my wether, before departure, managed to tear the bell off the ram. (who has far more impressive armament). Luckily, one of the first two lambs is a gorgeous boy, but he'll sell as a stud, so he won't be a wether to hold back. I'm torn between wanting all my lambs to be breed-perfect so I can sell them all as breeding stock, and wanting one little ram lamb who is not up to the breed standard, so I can wether him. But... I realized that it might be cool to get a Blue Faced Leicester wether, if anyone has one to sell, or an American Valais Blacknose. Sorry..... I got chatty. If you read this far, thank you!

Thanks; interesting story! 🙏 I don’t blame you one bit for eating that murderous wether. I hope he’s delicious! I wonder how the flavor of his meat compares to the usual meat breeds’ flavor. I buy ground lamb from a local butcher shop who gets their lamb carcasses from our land grant university’s sheep research program. Probably they’re run-of-the-mill meat breeds like Suffolk. I’m just guessing here… 🤔

@@susangrande8142 I don't really have any other mutton to compare my wether to, but I can compare him to other meat I've had. I'd say that the top sirloin and the shoulder chops I've had so far have been some of the best meat I've ever ever ever consumed. I feel like I honor the memory of the animal I loved before he turned murderous best by putting his carcass to use. I coulda just euthanized him immediately, but I waited until we could process the carcass. Half went to the processor, and I kept half.

Sheep lady from Australia, those fiesty males can be dangerous, just protecting his ladies!

That is one handsome sheep breed! I knew about Jacobs and Texels, but never heard of Dutch Spotted breed before. I can see both the Jacob and the Texel in them! 👍 As a hand spinner, I’d find their wool to be lots of fun to spin into yarn! ETA: wow, what a great job shearing him!! 😍 A spinner would LOVE to get that fleece! All sheared in one mass! Bravo, Mister Shearer!! 😃

I don’t have any sheep, but I just enjoyed listening to you. Honestly, I didn’t even know there were different breeds of sheep. I’ve never thought about it. Your a master of your trade.

Cammie, your videos have become my favorite sheep video in the UK. Sandi Brock is still top shepherdess! But you are amazing. These Dutch spotted sheep are incredible. He reminds me of my favorite Holstein cows!

Whatever you sheer, I'll be happy. I see such beautiful sheep!

What a beauty! Love this handsome breed! Sheep shearing is such fun to watch! Thanks for sharing! He'd make a great pet!

What a magnificent boy. I love the spotted look. Enjoying this channel Cammy.

Full Monty is not only a star … he was royalty!

I didn't realize there are so many cute breads of sheep. Great job!

Wow. What a gorgeous ram. The girls must love him. And what babies he must throw. 🥰🥰

They are absolutely beautiful!

Gorgeous ram. Well done!

Oh my goodness he is a handsome fellow!

I really enjoyed that, it’s great to see it all in real time and he is a beautiful ram. I’d vote for Portland, a friend of mine had some and they were beautiful honey coloured sheep.

Wow. This is neither your nor Monty's first rodeo. Well done.

That sheep was a real beauty. Calm and steady all while looking regal.

You make it look easy. Great job.

He's so Photogenic 😊😊😊😊😊!

He’s beautiful!!

Beautiful ram, gorgeous coloring.

Ahh such a beautiful fleece! As a spinner, I am jelly of the spotted fleece and that sheep is so gorgeous, before and after. What a good boy!

What a light hand you have. You handled him so softly. Beautiful fleece he had.

Lovely work…thank you for treating him so gently and respectfully ❤️

Beautiful fleece. What a handsome boy!

That is one of the most gorgeous sheep I've ever seen! And you do a fine job!

Wow, I've never seen that breed before, they look great.

Cammy he is gorgeous! I didnt know about this channel. Never saw it before. Hope I see it again. 😁👍

Yes, thank you so much for uploading another sheep shearing video! It's always so lovely to watch these beautiful beasts get shorn. My personal favourite being the one where George, the valais blacknose ram, was shorn. But I really enjoyed this one, too! Love and support to your channel! :)

Hi Cammy.. Not a sheep owner, but I do have about 25 different breeds of fleece at home waiting to be washed and/or made into rugs, felt and yarn. I'm waiting on a friend to get to me a couple of fleeces of the German Fox Red to work with. These fleeces have been sourced from a small flock in the Yorkshire Dale's, and as far as I know, one of only a handful of small flocks in the UK. Would be great if you could include this breed in your shear of the UK. 😊 BTW, I'll be selling some of what I make at an eco-fair located between you and the Hoof GP over the Springbank holiday at the end of May, if you're not busy and fancy bringing the family for a trip out.

What a cool looking sheep! So pretty

Swedish Gotland! Charming little things. 😊❤

What a gorgeous sheep. Good Job

This is my second time watching this shearing. I just love the variety of sheep breeds. I believe a fiber artist would love to spin Full Monty's wool into a lovely yarn and work it into a beautiful garment.❤

Gorgeous markings.

Beautiful sheep!

That is so cool, I've never seen a spotted sheep

Back when I was eleven years old (1974) I was in 4H I got to show a Suffolk ram through a co-op with local farmers. "Peetie" was much bigger and stronger than me, but because I worked with him from when he was a lamb he was gentle and sweet. We even had to flip them up to show the judge their manhood and I remember him being taller than me when sat on his bum! Your "show sheep" pose reminded me of those days.

Very handsome boy, and his wool came off looking like velvet. Surprised that it doesn't go for more $$. Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your channel--your shearing videos are very relaxing to watch--and also appreciate how kind you are to the animals. Best wishes from the US.

What a gorgeous animal.

Monty's marking revealed at 3:09 really looks like a border collie!

Beautifully colored sheep!

Great job. So gentle

Beautiful pattern of the wool!

I love his colouring, he looks so alert and healthy

He is nothing short of stunning!

Monty is such a well behaved and stunning ram!

You had me there cammy I thought why the heck is he going there especially with what is going on, I didn’t even know we had a Moscow in Scotland 😊

That was wonderful to watch and so fast. 🐏

Мне нравится в ваших видео всё, абсолютно всё! Ухоженные ландшафты, прекрасные фермы, овцы с наичистейшей шерстью, этот жизнерадостный парень, который так любит свою работу. Желаю вам мира и процветания. ❤

very nice shearing ....clean and no double

Wow! He is beautiful!

So handsome and has an amazing coat

He’s beautiful ❤

Hi from Arizona! This may sound stupid but I wish that he was in a zoo somewhere. Everybody should get to enjoy his beautiful spots .

What a beautiful sheep! Well done shearing him Cam!

When I saw that fleece the first thing I said was those are hornless Jacob Sheep! Beautiful fleece and he made that shearing look easy with great tools but it is hard work.

What beautiful colors this breed has!

Great production on this Cammy

Wow! What a beauty!

Wow Cammy what a gorgeous sheep thanks for the video so interesting

I’m from the United States and I don’t see much of this action here, but I deeply appreciate you taking a step-by-step, showing us how to shield a sheep. We deeply appreciate your service.
