ABOUT ME
I’m 33 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.

I loved seeing all the friends and family coming together for a big job. It reminds me of my own childhood. My parents owned a small landscaping business with my mom handling the logistics side and my dad being the main labor and designer but we all did work for the company from me and my siblings to my cousins and aunt/uncles. I have fond memories of going with my siblings on jobs planting, trimming, mowing, creating flower beds, making garden furniture, and building custom water features. It was hard, sweaty work but it was so rewarding to see a job well done and learn at their side.

Shearing in the heat with the wool and flies looks like one itchy afternoon to me. Never been close to sheep or a sheep farm ever. Love becoming educated with this….💪🏻🫶🏻 Jock and Angus are growing into some handsome little guys.

@gregedmand9939 6 ай бұрын

Have you ever attempted to reduce your fly burden by using a series of baited traps? They aren't that expensive to operate and even a reduction by 25% would reduce the body weight loss to the flock due to being bothered.

That was a hard day. The wool price is probably still very low but the sheep need shorn for their well being. Hopefully the treatments applied will keep the insect pests off them for a while, until winter temperatures give the sheep relief anyhow. Great to see the family getting time together.

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos I am from arkansas USA and I knew nothing about sheep farming but I watched videos from UK Scotland Canada Australia New Zealand it is fascinating how everyone does it different and shearing is amazing but watching you guys scanning it was something else I never saw that before My family has cattle and we had chicken houses 60,000 birds gathered fertile eggs for broilers at peak up to 48,000 eggs a day it took the whole family to get it done we rotated up to 15 people to cover the job 365 days a year. 7 days a week and some had jobs off the farm Keep up the good work and I really like seeing places you travel to to scan and shear amazing how you do all that Jim USA

It is always a pleasure to watch your presentations, and you show how things really are. May I suggest you invite inexperienced Theresa Coffee - arrogant and well out of depth to stand and watch you and another “ clever” …….Chris Packham stand at the edge of the fly ridden Woodside next to the sheep covered in flies graft under these pretty horrible conditions, and get a real taste of doing a great job for the welfare of your sheep! They wouldn’t last a minute! Years ago I knew a sheep man who partially filled a 45 gallon drum with an undiluted fly dip, place a rabbit netting wire over the top of the drum, then a piece of rotten, rancid meat, which attracted flies by the thousand, who gorged on the meat, fell through mesh straight into the dip - bingo - job done ! This was along a Woodside and it helped enormously! Once again, great to watch your presentations and good luck to you all for the future!

Epic editing Cammy! Question: What happens with wool that has flystrike? I assume the wool board won’t accept the affected part but can the rest of the fleece be sent to them? I always feel bad for the girl who has to stand at the end of the trailer and wait until last. I know she probably doesn’t care, or that she’s not there an excessive amount of time but still bothers me.

Hello Cammy I really enjoy watching your videos and seeing all the hard work that yourself and team do. My daughter and I enjoyed meeting you at the Highland Show. I work at a Rural College where we train young people the best practice of handling sit aside and sit astride ATVs. We highlight the number of deaths on quad bikes alone which could be prevented by the wearing of helmets. I notice in your videos that your staff and yourself choose not to wear one. This is by no means a criticism and very much personal choice whether to wear one or not. Would you be willing to help change the culture of not wearing helmets to help protect lives? Perhaps by adopting the use of helmets or by doing a wee video promoting the safety aspect of wearing them. You have become an ambassador to farming and I appreciate any help you could offer in highlighting this. Thank you.
