ABOUT ME
I’m 31 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.

What a beautiful (Brah) moment mom finding her lamb. You so happy the tears began to flow at the wonder and beauty of God's gift. If ever there was a born Shepherd, created by God to care for the helpless. To truly love them.....its you Cammie. What a special man you are. What a joy you are. Humanity is safe in you. Psalm 100: 3 Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Dear man, I it is so wonderful see your next group of lambs! I have not written you in a while but I can not keep quiet because you are soon to reach 50,000 subscribers! Praise the Lord you are doing so great with a baby and many new lambs. Love your blogs and somewhat being a part of your life. Thank you from Pennsylvania! 🙋🙏
Hearing Cammy tell the ewe she needs to lamb because it’s not healthy, has me imagining she feels the same way I did at 40 weeks pregnant, “I know it’s not healthy, help me out here!!!!”
Word has been spreading about how wonderful you are to watch, Cammy. Ewetopia Farms has been giving you shoutouts. Good luck on BBC Scotland. You deserve all the shoutouts.

I like Ewetopia farms. Quality stock, excellent care and thoughtful housing conditions where the sheep can enjoy a sheep’s life and they get to enjoy life at pasture when the grass grows.

Ewetopia Farms intro the other day was great! Lynn thought she was in Scotland so much that she was talking like Cammy!! I agree that @Ewetopia Farms is a great channel also ♥️
“...knew exactly where she’d left them ... roughly.” Love it!!
That trailer of baby lambs was a complete cuteness over load. Omg I was giggling they are so cute!
Cammy, much better day today. R.I.P. Mr. Fox. One doesn’t like to see one of the local carnivores put down, however once they get a taste of lamb, the sheep will suffer. Was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful weather. Thank you, Cammy!

Ye those stupid foxes. If only he knew that those lambs are ours to eat not his. If we got rid of all predators then we can keep all the lambs for us. 🍽
This lambing series has been exceptional so far, Cammie! Seeing it all through your eyes has been an awesome privilege, and I get excited for the next video each day!!
BIG CONGRATS with being on BBC Scotland, you & Lizzy & little Jock deserve it!! Please post it, would love to see it in Montreal!❤️💗❤️💗❤️

I hope he does, he’ll soon be along with big Sean, they do show all sorts on This Farming Life from ideal set ups to make do and adapt. So 8.20 for me on BbC 2.
I love how you man handle the sheep/lambs with tender loving care. Appreciate your hard work. It’s a beautiful thing watching you and your family working together.
Ooh Cammy.....ive watched this video 4 times now and y'all are definitely LIVING THE DREAM! And I'm glad I wasn't alone in crying over that beautiful sight of Momma finding her baby. Just wow. I'm so proud of y'all and I'm so glad I'm a member of your flock! Blessings to you and yours Cheers from Texas...

Thanks Shelia! It was a beautiful moment!
Well you certainly had some whopper lambs! I had to laugh when you asked Lizzie was she having a flash back. I hope you didn’t pull poor Jock out of Lizzie the way you pulled the HUGE lamb out in the barn! LOL You’re a champion Lizzie, how you get in and also do everything with Cammy. That’s team work! I’m sorry for the lambs you lost but my, did you get some cuties. Thanks for sharing, it’s just wonderful to see your life. 😊
Wow the size of that lamb. Glad to see the last of the fox. Beautiful scenery, glad the rain let up. Love the field full of Mom's and their babies., what a view.
Love the daily updates during lambing. I know it’s hard to do with so much going on, but we appreciate it!
Awwwwww all the wee lambies in the back, so cute. All their calls, even cuter. Well done Cammie.
Little lambs are one of the sweetest infant animals. It's interesting to watch u in Scotland, then Canada and the USA and see how different things are done with sheep in the 3 different countries. I use to live in the UK (I was born in the USA and raised here but my mom is Scottish and my dad is English), I would go hiking all the time in Yorkshire moors and the sheep weren't bothered. I use to pet them and they just look at u like, hey up! You alright...lol
Thank You Andrew Darling for saving so many lambs. I am sorry the fox had to pass but sadly it was going to keep on killing a lamb a day. It could of been catching rabbits and mice. So glad the weather turned and bless you with glorious weather for a change.
Did that one lamb come with a saddle? Gigantic! Getting the ewes paired with the right lambs seems to be working better, very good! A little better than herding cats 😂😂😂 Glad the weather has turned for the better too. ☺️
Seeing the lambs tails wagging as they feed from mum is the most beautiful thing to watch.
Congratulations on the TV show your going to be on Cammie!! If you can will you get a copy to post for us please?? So glad the weather is turning for you. I'm still praying young man. Blessings to you and the family. Stay safe and Take Care. 👍 👍👍👍👍🙏🕊💜🕊

seeing all those lambs together was so cute. and welldone on getting that massive lamb out safely.
Yes, the smiles were definitely real today - even the sun came out!! Great to see ALL problems were overcome, one way or another!! Thanks Cammy, first KZread and now the BBC!!! Good luck to you!!👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful sight of blue skies, sheep wee lambies and green grass !! Not to mention your smiling face 😃 with the mother baby bond God gave in every species. I agree, I was ready to drop my “wee lambie” on time !!
I think that it's great that you are able to put pet lambs with single lamb moms.
Number 1. Boy was I fast. Brilliant idea dunking a foster lamb in the birth fluids to get the Mom to accept the orphan. I learned a valuable trick. Thank you. Don't know that I'll ever need it but will definitely pass it on. 💘 🐑 🐏 🇮🇪 Scotland 🇺🇸
So glad you were able to get the fox situation taken care of... Now all the new little lambies are safe! What another wonderful lambing video... You're definitely spoiling us with the daily uploads, Cammy. What are we gonna do when lambing is over & videos are coming out everyday?😂
Loving these updates Cammy, massive appreciation for doing a full day lambing then getting these out daily! 🙌
I watch Sandi and she taught us all about that. It’s incredible that these animals will take on someone else’s lamb but that’s nature . Good job with that huge lamb xox

Huge fan of Sandi and now a huge fan of Cammy. I’ve got to catch up on some Cammy vlogs now. Thank you for sharing your lambing with us. ❤️ from Alabama, USA.
Goodness, watching the moms and lambs scramble to sort themselves out is a good laugh. Watching that one momma come back for her lamb was amazing! I couldn't help but be reminded of one of our ewes who loved her lamb so much that she couldn't see the forest for the trees so to speak. She would be so caught up running around and yelling for her lamb that she wouldn't notice her lamb calling back to her a couple feet away. I often had to go running after her with lamb in tow because she would just book it like a bat out of hell out of the milking parlor looking for her lambie and she would be halfway across the field before I or the lamb could catch up. Which was hilarious the first time, but not so much by the third. I could probably run a marathon in muck boots now because of her! Lol!
What a terrific video. Love all the lambs and the caring mamas❣️
So glad the weather has changed. Seeing all those babies in the sun is lovely!
I miss the farm I grew up on. We had 4-h show lambs and they were the sweetest.
1st thing I look for every day! Goodbye Mr. Fox. Shoulda stuck to mice! Lamb is OFF LIMITS! Brilliant move, having lambie chase the quad bike to his mother.
Precious lambs. Your daily updates are fantastic. What a beautiful day.
Well done Cammie you and Lizzie are doing a great job during lambing.
A great video! 👍👍😁❤️ What did that big lamb weigh? It was a whopper! Such beautiful scenery today and the sunshine is wonderful. So glad the lambs are doing well and Mr. Fox won’t be terrorizing them any more.
You have one of the best channels. You keep so motivated and you are uplifting. I grew up in the city. NYC. So this is really an education. Keep up the good work and all the best.
This life is absolutely amazing and you cannot make anything so joyful and special and loving if it wasn’t for my disability I would offer myself to help you xx
The clean sloping top of those trees with that beautiful sunrise behind them is the oerfectsetting. The fact that you lambed that huge lamb is just a bonus!
Whew! This was so much easier to watch than the past couple of days were. It looks like you feel better. I'm glad.
Aww, I got emotional as well, when the mum went back for her little lamb. It's that mother's instinct and you have experienced that bond with your own mum (just the other when she thought you might be in the burn, lol) and now are witnessing it with Lizzy and wee Jock. It's a beautiful thing. Much love to you all from Nova Scotia!
That huge lamb reminded me of the lamb that Big Mama had back in December in Sandi Brock ‘s channel. I love watching your channel because it’s interesting to see how the different farmers do things and what the different types of breeds they have. You might want to get one of those hand pumps like Sandi got to relieve the pain and pressure when their lambs can’t latch as the tit is too large. It takes only a couple of minutes to milk each side and you can use it to feed the lambs which might reduce the amount of milk replacer and colosseum you have to keep on hand. It has been a huge blessing for Sandi during this lambing as she has had a lot of triplets and premature lambs and those who have gotten cold and are too weak to get up and nurse because they lose their sucking reflex. Hope your show went well.

Just a suggestion, to hobble the lamb, pass the string around one foreleg, pass the strings BEHIND the head and around the other foreleg. I wouldn’t worry about the size disparity, I fostered on the only lamb available which was tiny to a huge Texel single. They looked ridiculous but the big Texel mum loved them both and paid particular attention to ‘her’ runt. I guess it’s a case of judgement, all too often I prepared a lamb to foster on, but with first time lambers, decided their over big lamb was enough.
ohhhh, that bit with the mums and lambs going out to the field is just the sweetest ever!🦌💌❤️🐑
Glad sly Reynard is not poaching your lambs anymore. Also glad to see the weather has moderated and turned warmer and beautiful. Sleep well, Cammy, there'll be more wee lambs tomorrow.
Great work getting them out I always found numbering the ewes and lambs to match up is a super job Even if a ewe was confused she could check the number on her side and then find the lambs with the same numbers

I'm loving the ride alongs. We are all getting to see your joy when you see the products of your labors. Looking like a beautiful new generation on the ground. Congrats 😁🐑🐏
I love animals, they all have their place. But you can't abide a predator that just gorges himself on your flock. Best to take him out, he was too reliant on the herd and ye don't want those lessons being passed on to the next generation of kits. I am so glad to see you in better spirits Cammy! Keep your head up, losing some just happens. Don't be embarrassed about welling up, it's always good to see a mum who knows what she is doing and doing it well, especially when that mothering instinct is the difference between 2 happy lambs or 2 pet lambs. You might want to do something about the tire tracks though! Bless the poor sheep that already lost one eye to the crows.
Hey cammy hope your feeling a little better as the days roll by. Thanks for another cracking video. Those first lambs were absolutely perfect, that clean one is huge too! Glad the fox issue is sorted for you all now. We'll done to lizzie and jock and Tom and Vicki. Cammy it's great to see you so passionate and emotional about that mama sheep and her lambs. I'll be awake and watching you Sunday morning on the telly. Cammy your awsome
So beautiful watching your mama find her baby! What a hard working and loving family/ team you are!💕👍🏻And that was one huge newborn lamb! Awwww, sweet little bab!💕
That big ewe reminds me of Sandy's Large Marge.

Love watching the moms taking care of their lambs!
You have a strong batch of lambs there , you must be proud . Im with you, you can't get better than seeing mum come find her young . Takes me back to when I was milking on the family farm, going out at the break of day to see a cow has calved and calf suckling happily . Nothing can describe the sight .
So glad you were able to get rid of that fox thanks to a viewers help🥰👍
Good day today for you. Great to see fox was got cos he would keep coming. Hope no other one bothers you now. Super lamb that sheep had.
I love the fact that you don’t cut the tails 🥰 I love that we get every day a vlog🤗 Thanks for all your efforts 😘 Stay blessed and safe 🙌🏻🕊 Greetings to Lizzy and your little man from Amsterdam 🇳🇱🌷
It is interesting to watch you lamb on grass. I raised sheep for 40 years but we always shed lambed.
So fun! Thanks again for all. Your hard work and for sharing with us daily, Cammy!! It makes my day!
So very glad you had nicer weather and no ewes or lambs in the creek! (Burn?) Congratulations on the TV show!
Oh my goodness! Cutest thing I've ever seen you guys trying to get all those tiny lambs out of the trailer!!
Wow Cammie this was a great video with so many beautiful lambs, and thank goodness your friend was able to take care of the fox problem. It’s great to see you feeling better 😊. Stay safe and healthy 🙏🙏💕💕
Like the Scottish hill sheep at 24:12
Cammy, even when you’re tired, your love for the sheep and positive attitude is uplifting. Best of luck this upcoming year!
Congratulations on the TV spotlight! 💕
So pleased to see the end of wee lambs being ripped apart. Sad to see mr fox lying there but nothing else could be done. Highlight for me were all those lambs going out the trailer. Big thanks to all the team in the shed, they've certainly got their hands full. 👏👏
So refreshing when you stop and enjoy things like the ewe coming back for her lamb💜 Sunny days make everything better even you Cammy you’re sounding like you’re feeling better. 👍
Oh I just love your videos, you are such a fun person, with a positive attitude so it’s so uplifting to watch. I grew up near New York City, so this is all new to me, you are a good teacher, you explain everything so I’m really enjoying it all. Thanks Cammie and please do take care of that cold. PS..your son is a Bonnie one. What a handsome little boy.
Wow, this is an amazing video! So much to learn, wish I had seen this 4 weeks ago when we were delivering some big lambs, didn’t end so well 😢. Thank you for sharing such awesome content!
Cracking job as always cammy. Your some man for 1 man. Not forgetting your right hand woman Lizzie. You make a great team
Congrats for the tv shows coming up, Cammy❤️👍
Those black nose crosses are wild! Not sure how viable they are but you should integrate more into your herds
How beautiful a picture that made with all the mums and bulbs getting out on the grass. Hope the weather stays fine! 🐨
Glad you got that fox taken care of! Such beautiful lambs and moms. Keep up the great work!
New-ish follower here, but a long-term follower of the Hoof GP. I’m enjoying watching your older content, and really appreciate the realism. I was amazed at the size of the big lambs too. Glad they survived. A friend of mine breeds beef cattle and horses, and is very careful to manage feed in pregnancy so that birthing mums don’t have complications with very big babies. You can’t do that so easily with sheep!
Ive been watching Sandy Brock for a while now. Sheep farmers are such hard workers. Its nice to see the sheep out in the fields just roaming
Fresh oot the wrapper, love it! We have the same accent so must be pretty close! My teen got a job with a farmer for this lambing season so this video has been helpful
What a relief to get rid of that thieving fox. It’s a good job you spotted that lamb in the gorse bush. Great lambing action. Your grass is well ahead of ours. No better feeling than to turn out well mothered up ewes and lambs on good grass in fair weather.
Exceptional video, the fox was causing a lot of problems, it’s sad but needs must. You totally crack me up, your so funny asking poor lizzy did it bring back memories and telling that sheep she needed to lamb. Caught your tv debut on the iPlayer well done to you all glad to also see your looking a wee bit brighter.
What a man, I could see that wee tear.Great videos you are giving us.😍Thank you.
Your dog Meg is amazing. Incredible to see her working. Worth every penny. Love seeing the footage of lambing. Took me a few episodes to realise what a lamb with skin on meant, lol. Got to do what u got to do. Good job.
Great video!!! Better weather and seems you're feeling better as well. Loving all your lambies! 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Congratulations on BBC! ❤️❤️
Hi from across the pond, northeast Georgia, to be exact. Beautiful green grass! I’m so glad you were able to get the fox eliminated! Love the brown spotted sheep, but they all are very pretty - especially the babies!!! 😀
CAmi !!! i like you a lot and i love your new lambs , love them to bits , keep it in this way ! BRAVO
That's a huge lamb! Weather looking nice, hope sheep appreciate all the efforts of yours!.)
Another great video. You capture all the work you have to put in. Pastures look good. If you keep having half grown lambs you could be first to fall sale. That is a huge lamb!
I love love the adoption program seeing those lil ones finding a mom and sibling does the heart good!
Every thing looks brighter when the sun shines.
A good day! The fields look so beautiful and peaceful with all the Moms and lambs. Thanks for sharing.
So so so gorgeous. A sea of new lambs and ewe’s in the sunshine on the verdant paddock ( I would say in this sunburnt country ). Cammy, this is pure joy to behold. Thank you.
I don’t know how you lamb and manage to put these vlogs together 🤩

You and Lizzie look so good in your Sheep Game headbands. Shout out to the whole team, esp. the "night staff."
When I was in college, many moons ago, my family went to England and Scotland for a 3 week holiday. The Scottish people were very kind. And we got lost on a drive. The sheep came running over for pets and I'm sure they thought food. I loved the rock fences. The Shepherd helped us back to the b and b. It is a beautiful country. I didn't want to leave. Blessings.
Great video-so appreciate your heart with your animals. Thank you for sharing
fabulous stuff Cammy and crew!!!!!! Very enjoyable video...thank you for sharing!!!!
I got teared up too when that Mama came looking for her baby. Love your channel and I am learning to understand you more and more with each video. I just love watching how caring you are with your sheep and all your helpers.
That was a beatiful moment when feeding mum found her baby.
Whoops forgot to comment this morning, That lamb was huge
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing!
so glad you dealt with mr fox. Have to protect the wee lambs well done.
Thank goodness that fox has been taken care of. Losing lambs like that is heartbreaking 💔
