Hi Cam. Greetings from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Here in the foothills of our neighbors the Rocky Mountains the prairies only have smaller trees next to water, or the the leeward side of the giant hills because of the winds! When Calgary became a town then city, all of the city tree canopy had to be planted. My mother in law got to pick the trees in her garden round the home because they arrived in 1960s. There are 100 year old trees in one of the historic fancy neighborhoods, but very few. I am a U.S. citizen who grew up in Michigan, had relatives in Ohio where we have 100-550 year old trees. It’s something my Calgary born husband had never seen. I was raised on a 100 yr old building turned into a home, but the oldest of buildings are forts are in or around Detroit, woth St. Anne’s (French saint) having been a community congregation for over 300 years.

There's a reason why most of history's greatest inventors have farming in their background: Necessity is truly the Mother of Invention. So many skill sets are needed to get the best from land, beast and people.

As an arable farmer, I like the little pop ups explaining things, helps myself and other non stock viewers understand to point out bits we've only got half an idea on!

Greetings from Norway…’went with» is very much like the Norwegian word vant … and we add the Norwegian word for with to mean « used to», so the expression seams to have traveled across the sea together with bern, kirk and bra 😊😊

I appreciate how sheep farmers in your area support one another. I’ve been to Orkney. Beautiful- all of Scotland.

No more wheelbarrowing feed, Sean! You've done a right fine job with your shed. Congratulations!

I watching with awe at the absolute beauty that is Scotland. We have so much to be proud of…Sean’s shed is a masterpiece. ..the sheep look so so good

That sheep palace looks even better with sheep in it!

Hey Cammy I bet that Sandi Brock would love this farm

Excellent just EXCELLENT. We'll planned, beautifully executed, I hope he is proud, he has earned it.

That is amazing to see the shed in action. That is a fantastic design

great seeing the sheep going in and getting fed. it looks as if the new shed has worked very well. just the wee teething problem with the gaps but easily rectified.

seeing how the shed works in action makes my heart happy

Such a well planned operation. 👍

Wow! Beautiful video and beautiful sheep shed. Love watching the sheep jump those invisible fences. 😂 I absolutely love it when you show how smart the dogs are and when you use the drone. It didn’t take long for them to dirty the floor…oh well. It was nice while it lasted 🤷🏻‍♀️😂❤

Cammy I always like your videos. This was a great video. Beautiful country. I've been once and one day hope to go again. You just make me smile every time with your infectious laugh. Love it. You just keep getting better and better.

A boy Cammy another good video 👍. Cracking shed. When you first introduce the sheep you're gonna find something that needs fixing & no better animal than sheep to point it out 😂😂. The two of ye working out at the end was a bit random 😂😂

Great series of videos about the Viking! We've been trying to chase away the late winter blues re-watching some of last year's lambing videos. Can't wait to see this year's! Thanks for posting this.

This looks like a cozy place for your sheep 😊. It creates an area wide enough for the feeding machine to easily fit through. Although the boards bowing gave me a worry 😮 as the machine rolled over them. Maybe more support is needed? I'm impressed with the design and the look of it all. Well done! 🎉

An amazing shed Sean.

Didn’t read all comments, apologies if a repeat but when Michael gets the proper spot on the feed alley to get both sides, paint a line on the concrete so he can line up the tractor

Set of aluminium 5 ton digger ramps down over the dipper, it’ll spread the weight and they’re light enough to move around if/whenever they’re in the way

What a great sheep shed. Clean, efficient and smart. Congratulations on the new set up. 👍

My dad and grandfather (Ottawa Valley Ontario 🇨🇦) had a term usetovit meaning use to of it. I really like the “Went”with term. As Cammy says when some unfamiliar words are used in context of the sentence you understand.

So nice to see such a lovely friendship between you two. And the shed is braaaaawwwww! Scotland is such a wonderful place. Thanks for sharing that wonderful scenery!

Great video again Cammy that is an impressive set up there and all hasn't built, excellent work.

Beautiful barn!

Very nice shed that! Looks smart AF!

This is just brilliant! I am looking forward to seeing how Sean does in the future.

Wow that's impressive!

Love ❤❤❤❤❤ the drone footage. What beautiful scenery. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 in the province very well known to Canadians as “the Rock” which is the island of Newfoundland. The wind I can well appreciate what you said about the wind. We say “Wind so bad it would blow the milk right out of your tea” There are areas in Newfoundland very similar, not a tree standing. Really enjoyed catching up with your friend Sean and his seeing his new barn. Well thought out for sure.

@@TheSheepGame yes Newfoundland is very much like Ireland according to my sister and hubby who have visited Scotland and Ireland. Many people here are descendants of those who came during the Irish Famine, the accent is thick. For about 10 years I lived a block away from a sheep farm on the outskirts of St John’s, Newfoundland. I’d walk my sister’s dog Abby, she was a very sweet good natured Golden Retriever RIP always on leash of course. And she would get all excited about the sheep and the alpaca. She was the sweetest, so gentle with her stuffies many of which were lambs and or alpacas.

Thanks again, Cammy,Zeus & Sean for part 2. We'll await part 3 ( lambing, dipping, shearing, etc..). As suggested before, adding wheels to the moving parts would make it easier. Also replacing the wooden covers of the dipping structure with enforced metal/ Iron " doors " with hinges to be opened easily and supported on the side partitions will make it easier to open/ close and support passing heavy equipment on it. Please keep up the good work and good luck 👍

The viking did great his ancestors would be proud.

Fabulous working dogs too 😎

Orkney is a special place, I have visited twice. Beautiful new pen area.

Really enjoyed that, not long enough.

Looks the business with them all lined up for silage in a new shed 👌

It is beautiful and amazing to me how ya'll get the sheep to go where you want them to.

Great vid again Cam...best bloody shed ever! Those Huntaways are brilliant dogs (and big enough to stick it up predators too) but OMG, they can be noisy! They're making their mark here in Australia and great to see them in the Orkneys. Cheers lads...

It never ceases to amaze me how absolutely beautiful Scotland is. America definitely has some incredible places, and maybe it's a "grass is greener on the other side" thing, but I just feel like it doesn't compare. I'm so jealous.

beautiful barn, I like the drive thru isles, check the rims on the front of your Kubota for cracking and see if there is compression washers to be installed.

I still find it unusual to see a Huntaway in Scotland! But I agree, having dogs with different styles of work on stock, gives you different tools for your management toolbox.🐑❤️

I've always fancied some Lleyns!

I usually drive from Newcastle to Edinburgh and love watching sheep scattered in the fields, was thinking they don't have a shed till watched this ...loved it

What a great set up , there’s always wee teething problems but well done Sean you can be very proud

Happy sheep, happy farmer.excellent animal husbandry.

Very clean 👍👍👍

Beautiful job guys. I need to win the lottery the Orkneys are so beautiful.

I think you're amazing and if I ever get the opportunity to visit over there I would love to come visit your

Could you utilize this new setup in an inside farming barn, where the sheep live year round? Do you think you could guys could sit down and do a cost analysis of what you'd save if you had the traditional barn setup converted over to this new concept.....I HONESTLY THINKS IT'S JUST BRILLIANT AND LOVE THE POSSIBILITIES IT PROVIDES AS WELL AS SAVING ON COSTS DOWN THE LINE!!!

I liked the informative subtexts. By the way, the dialect «went» is surely related to the modern norwegian «vant» which means «to be accustomed to» or «used to».😊

If the small gaps are the only thing showing up, he's good. It's an easy fix.

Looks like you have done this before. Tidy sheds👍

Very interesting

This place is beautiful, like a dream.

The critters will appreciate this in bad weather.

That's impressive Sean! I hope Cammy's around for your 1st couple of newborns. Just so we can see it all working! Thanks Cammy.

Ok as an Ayrshire burd I’ve finally heard a accent I’m obsessed wae - that guys 😂😂

Did Sean get any young farmer government grants to help with all the gear and improvements? Those sheep didn’t need asking twice about going in the shed.

Nice! Someday, Cammy, someday...

Bigger broom, continue to appreciate what you and your family has. Just put a metal plate with 4holes and turn upside down gate rod ends to life metal plate. You only use dip seasonal. Metal plate is strong for tractor. Smiles, Belinda

Looks fantastic. I appreciate the full walkthrough. I will add that if he can change some of those locking pins into Shepherds Crooks, it might help in the long run.

Very interesting video 👌

That tractor comes so close to that support pole coming to feed. That’s a real danger. Very beautiful place. I only understood about thirty percent of what they said though. That’s how I sound with half a cup of peanut butter in my mouth.

Wow! 🇳🇿

Beautiful farm.

I've been watching you so long now that I'm beginning to understand ya' all! Very interesting vlog with your great Viking friend, what could be better? Sean & dad (I assume) did a great job on thinking outside the box to putting a dream into action of a great facility. It does look tight though compared to the beautiful fields they were wandering. Seems sheep like to wander off for privacy to lamb in the field so I hope they adjust. We will all wait with bated breath to see how they settle in and if any lambs get 'stolen' by overly zealous/confused future moms. Will there be someone on watch 24/7 as they start lambing? Best wishes for great success Zeus & Sean! By the way, what did an average size dad like Zeus feed a son to produce such a large offspring?

On the gap issue, consider the closed cell pipe insulation. Tough stuff, especially wrapped with gorilla tape. Question...where is the water in the pens, and how does he plan to keep the feed shoved up against the pens?

U will see water in previous video 👍. Re silage it’s same attachment they use to push up cattle silage. 👍

If steel is out of price range, what about a removable wood brace set to bottom of concrete under the boards? You would lift out with cover when getting ready to dip but rest of time shortens span boards support across.

I watch a Welsh truck driver and he's always going on about Welsh sheep and wellys 🤣🤣🤣

How far are they off lambing? I ask because I would be worried, from what I can see in the video, about the risk of initial miss - mothering on new born lambs especially on multiple births until they get removed to small straw bedded pens. Dan
