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.

They have back-slings for shearers too, but I'm sure Cammy knows about them.

We bought a local (US Made) shears but there is only one company for cutters that last! Our sheep need shearing twice per year to keep them from overheating and the wool was 40cm and it will be again come September! I love to watch our shearer wrestle with our 162k Rams and the 126k ewes. He moans and groans about the weight and at 60 I have to tip in to help get them flipped. Then we still have to crutch them for march lambing! The Leister Longwool lives up to their name! I love to see the shearing videos! Little Jock is going to be strapping shearer for sure! It’s great to see your young family growing! One thing for sure when there are both loving parents in the home and spending the time with the young ones they will be healthy, smart and less likely for troubles in life. You’re off to a great start! Good on you!

Wee Jock certainly loves the camera, becoming quite the professional in front of the lens!!❤ The tally is steadily increasing, have you given any thought of what you would like to achieve this season ?🤔, -- you will need to make sure it's more than Sean's( even if it's just 1 more!!)😂😂

you would have been perfect as a door man in 80's coal mining town of Chesterfield, dealing with unruly drunken miners on a friday night, that ram put up a good fight but you were relentless. stamina that is what you have and a stiff back, keep up the good work. i love every minute of the shearing, it makes me grateful for dealing with computers offshore for a living

Cammy, I'm sure you're aware of Sandi Brock in Ontario, Canada -- she's got a channel here on KZfaq and she also has her own website, Sheepishly Me. She puts up videos of her sheep being shorn frequently. She has a very interesting vlog that she posts to 2-3 times a week, and almost daily during lambing and again during the couple of weeks leading up to Christmas (she calls it Vlogmas!). She has her sheep that are preggers shorn and their hooves trimmed about 6-7 weeks before they're due to lamb. She's got somewhere around 450 breeding ewes, and maybe 30-40 rams in her inventory. Contrary to the outside operation in this video, hers are entirely inside in a huge barn about 90 feet wide and 250 or so feet long. She also has another barn where she takes her lambs after they've been weaned, where she "finishes" them to about 100-105 pounds (US) and takes them to market, where they're mostly sold to meat producers. Myself, I was born in Edinburgh, but raised almost entirely here in the USA. I was what would be called a "love child" -- I was conceived out of wedlock, so my birth-mum went to her folks in Edinburgh to hide until I was born, then we came back to the US where I was put up for adoption. My Dad was born in Glasgow, so he had the gutteral Clydeside accent. My Mum was born in a wee little village right on the border between Yorkshire and Scotland, so her accent was very North-of-England/Yorkshire. My accent I grew up speaking was a hybrid combination of the two patterns of speech. But yes, I definitely celebrate my heritage -- I own a nice dress kilt (McFarlane Clan tartan) and I own a couple of the US produced Utili-Kilts. I also play the bagpipes -- VERY badly (I was a Music major in university). Mark (Oklahoma, USA)
