I had a terrible shear today but Lizzy was amazing as always!
We have another big summer of sheep shearing ahead.
Lots of farms to visit and lots of different breeds to shear.
Also we have a lot of competitions to attend!
I hope you enjoy
Cammy

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 KZfaq 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.

Shearing looks like hard work but Lizzy makes it look easy. Congrats Lizzy. Well done Cammy, so many top men to compete against, you'll get them next time. Boys are looking great. Tell Jock not to throw the winner's envelope away, that's where the money is. Gave me a laugh.

Loved that, took me back to my childhood in the Borders. Great grandfather had a sheep farm ,( Cheviots). I Spent a lot of time there as a child, (64 now), you can't get a better upbringing. He won prizes at shows for his ewes and used blades for shearing, impressed with you bladework Cam, you made that look easy. Great grandfather used the old ways and would have delt with any dog off the lead with a shotgun, some say he was a hard man but when you see the results they leave I don't think so. Adore the way everyone gets stuck in even wee Jock.😊😊😊

Competition can be brutal but I've found them to be the best learning, and motivating, tool around. I've felt kicked in the nards several times (tricky thing being female, that) but it's made me better. Mine was with showing Arabian horses, not shearing, but same concept (sore nuts, so to speak, ha!) Still and all, congratulations to you both. Damn good show.
