For anyone who didn't know: Texel is an island North of the coast of Netherlands :) The biggest of the Dutch 'Orkneys' so to speak lolz. Yes, we grow sheep there. Such a fun video this, thank you Sheep Man.

If I paid that much for a ram, he would live in my house!

I raise Leister Longwool sheep. There are just 3000 pure breed sheep and fewer than 1000 breeding stock. But as beautiful as they are they have not captured the imagination of big breeders yet. We are lucky to get $5,000 at auction for a 4-5 star ram but the breed is growing and more of us are paying attention to the breeding and show points. Next year I’m finally going for my biggest purchase..a ram bred directly from the old stock. They are much larger and broad in the back. The wool brings over $22 per lb because of its perfect locks.

This time GP didn't send me, I know nothing about sheep, what kind are they and why are they so expensive, I love their their coloring. Good to learn new things. Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦🐘🍁🐑

Cammie, thank you for showing the Texel auction - they’re my favorite sheep breed - I had no idea the rams were so expensive!

I know others have already said it, but "smackeroonies" got me. I cannot quit laughing. Pretty sure I need to watch that bit again... 😂 Cheers

Looks to me like pretty soon you'll be up doing night feedings, singing lullabies and changing nappies; you might be too sleep deprived to go to sheep sales. Sending you good luck and good thoughts on the most important event of all to come :)

WOW! Really appreciate you taking us on these trips with you. Love the variety. Take good care of your woman, that baby will be here before you know.

"Maybe I'm man enough for you", was the line playing when you showed the pen full of rams & their 'bits'... great videography there, Cammy! Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Great work!

Fabulous vid! I never could have believed that sheep could be that valuable!🦌💌❤️🐑

Funny thing is, I grew up in Holland and saw many texel sheep around us. They didn't look anything like what these have developed in!

It’s good to see Marts getting back to normal now 👍🏼

That was incredible and wow they are very beautiful sheep. Sending hugs to Lizzie. Can't wait to meet the baby.

Lovely sheep. We have stud texel ewes here in New Zealand, and these boys seem very extreme in type compared to what we get here - they look more like beltex!

Great video, lovely to see Lizzie looking well and ready. Can’t wait to see the black faced auction. Texel experience here, awenary buggers. Breeding up Valais here in New Zealand. Waving 🇳🇿

Flipping incredible the prices! You can really see the difference between this and a bog standard auction on how the animals are cared for, lovely to see.

“Smackeroonies” 😂 😂

Holy Moly! That's a lot of $$$, but some very impressive rams. Thanks for taking us along. Lizzy looks simply adorable, but I'll bet she doesn't feel that way. lol You'll both make great parents.

Wow! They are a very interesting looking sheep. These sales must be very exciting. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more sales. Take Care.

I like the Texels a lot. They're very cute and charming.

I can't believe how much they go for! Great video, loved the young man at the end!

Those sheep were gorgeous. I’ve never seen them before other than in a photo! You and your video made my day! Thank you so much Cammy😊 🐑💙

When prices this high it makes you wonder how it works especially from outside the game. Lizzy your due date is clearly not too far off. Seen a few videos of Camnys midwifery techniques. Hope l goes well. 🤞🤞👍

The sale was interesting. I liked the wee girl learning to show her sheep for sale.

That’s like buying a prized beef bull!

Looks like you had loads of fun at the auction. Thank you for the money conversion to Canadian dollars.👍

This was a great video. Very interesting. Good luck to Billy! He's learning and starting right, developing his eye for good stock!

Oh, Lizzy, you are looking good and ready for birthing. All the best to all of you!❤️ 🦌💌❤️🐑

I just watched a video you recommended about Doug Pemberton farm and a raging bull. Early on in my cattle raising career, a friend brought us a holstein steer with horns, to fatten up for slaughter. All our other cows were herfords, with no horns. This steer figured out that he could push the others around, and get his choice of the feed, till one day he decided to use those horns on me. As the saying goes, ya don't bite the hand that feeds ya! He very shortly became prime beef. We were very careful to.not have horned stock after that. We bread Hereford/Red Poled the Hereford for the heavy beef and the Reds because they are a beef dairy cross, and so the cows put out more milk and we got 15 to 20 percent heavier calves at weening time.

Asking for your autograph was precious. I'll bet that was a good feeling

There's some fine lookin Ram's there unreal ,cheers Cammy

That baby bump in the back! You looked amazing Lizzie!

Great video. Thanks for sharing the sale with us very enjoyable.

Lovely to see Lizzie too x

Love the channel over here in Maine USA thanks for all the videos you have a great positive attitude

First time seeing your videos, I've never seen sheep like these! You and your friends look like you were having a good time, nice to see some fun these days :) I loved seeing the auction, so exciting, and whoo that price! Came over from the Hoof GP. Thanks for sharing with us.

Wow what a nice ram,I really enjoyed watching the sales and Lizzy look amazing with her baby bump not long now till your hold baby in your arms x

Wow! Those sheep must have had perfect confirmation to the breed standard!! Holy buckets!! They are beautiful animals! Do the ewes ever go for this much?? I have never raised sheep but I find your channel fascinating! My father raised hogs, but no big pedigrees for us. Now I live in the country but not on a farm. Just a small acreage.

Cammi, this was a great video. Those Texels look like small beef cows. I assume they are using them to add muscling. It’s amazing to see the prices. Thanks for sharing. Also wanted to wish you and Lizzie the best on the pending new arrival. Can’t wait to see the wee lad

Thank you from a person that lives in Knoxville TN in the USA I don't know how someone does that for a Ram but I guess they think it's good. Here people pay a lot of money for a race horse . Thank you so much for taking me along to a fantastic event. The guy with the ice cream was funny. 😀

I could understand you sooooooooo well in this video!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Lizzy looks soooo beautiful. As did the rams. Thank you for showing us the verity of rams and taking us on your adventure!! With love from Virginia United States!!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Wow I learned a lot in this video I had never even heard of this breed of sheep. I guess I have a lot to learn about the sheep business. They are all cute. Thanks for your great content. I hope to have a hobby farm sometime in the near future and learning a little bit about sheep would be helpful. 🐑🐏

Thats a really interesting video Cammy, We might as well have been there 😃 subs climbing all the time, well done

Thanks for sharing the sheep auction. Lot of money for a sheep. You could build part of a house with that!

Alls I can say is, Shazzam! That is one expensive ram, his dad must be proud.

That 105,000 £ lamb was gorgeous

Cracking video. Some rams & big money. Your a great man with the kids.

Those rams faces are so cute!

Really enjoyed this! Those prices for the rams are something else! Wouldn't mind seeing a ewe and lamb sale later on if you get chance. Take your own lamb along for the ride! Good luck with baby not long to go now! 🙂

Recent subscriber & good to see you again on my home turf. What cracking rams! Never been to a market day auction, so would love to see more videos like this. Can anyone go to these sales? Would like to go just to experience it as I'm obviously not a farmer.

That's some serious money being spent. Personally i like Suffolk or a charli. Plus there cheaper 🤣

I can totally picture one of those rams going "Mon then!"

Those sheep are wild! I had no idea there were sheep colored gold and white, and looked like English Bulldogs...

Great video work there Cammie....Congratulations on the up coming event....Woooohoooo....👩‍🦲🧑‍🦲🤸🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️🙏🙏

That sheep is worth half my house! Just under 200k in Australian dollars! Fascinating video

That's a was a great video Cammy. Plenty of banter added in.

Good advice to the young man there. Great video.

I love the look of the Texels.

Hey Cammy, while the Texels are cute, they remind me of goofy dogs, NONE are as cute as those Valais Balck nosed sheep!

Love the footage and the Texels are my favorite they are what I raise at home in the US .

Which one did you get

These rams have lovely bass voices.

I like the looks of this breed.

Great looking rams. Beautiful colors but wow the price of those fellows. Great video with great footage of different sheep. Just curious why are they sold in UK currency?

I can’t decide if it’s a sheep or a pit bull 😂😂!!! That creature doesn’t bleat it bellows!

Wow! What an amazing place.

I too know nothing about sheep! Could you please inform me as to how many breeds of sheep there are in this world! I first seen you Cam on one of HP’s. videos! I definitely would like to be around both of you because I know you would have me laughing 😂 constantly!👏🤣😅🥸👍❤️ Keep up the good work and the great videos!👏👏👏 Oh one more thing, “I wish I had your curls”.

Smackaroonies!!! I was rolling on the floor!!

That was very entertaining, great video 👍👏👏

I have never seen those before, bright gold to light / med. brown.

You never did say how many of those Texel tups you bought,haha.Great video .

Lizzy looks amazing!

Here I was thinking horses where overpriced, but the price/kg on a ram like that is just astronomical compared to horses. But as always the price on a good bloodline is hard to put the right value on anyway.

Great video , and explanation of the big prices , you better be at the big Blackie Tup Sale !

They are so cute, I'd want one just to cuddle with during a stormy hurricane lol

As a knitter their pelts are beautiful. The wool is what makes a garment. Also you need amazing wool for rugs and other textiles. For some it may be their meat but I'm not a fan.

Smackeroonies! Lol! Thanks for the interesting video, really cool to see the ram sale. Those prices, though! Yikes!

I've never seen this breed before, but I think they're even cuter than the Valais Blacknose! I love those squishy looking faces! I guess it's a good thing they're so expensive, because I don't have anywhere to put a sheep. Bummer.

Very interesting. The rams were so pretty.

Lizzie is looking beautiful.

What is it about these sheep 🐑 that makes them so valuable? Their wool or their flesh? They are LOVELY to look at!! 4/16/22 12:43 am PDT

Nice lookin texels and wow £105,000 they ain't cheap

We love the video it's the best one

Brilliant video cammy the Texel are great sheep to hold there money you always get great returns on them when selling that young lad you had on from N Ireland am from back there too co Derry 👍

Nice...the buyers there are as nuts for those high end rams as the Angus bull buyers are in the states...chasing that AI gold....thanks for the video... Do they have these auctions on live video with internet bidding like they do in the states? I don't know the sheep internet auctions, but he beef are dv auctions, superior productions and cattle use...those are the 3 that I'm aware of...I'm sure there are more. Good luck on your hunt for some rams...

🇨🇦 very interesting video, thank you. We'll done.

Great camera work for the money shot!

Great video

Cammy I am coming up to lanark 3rd September for hebridean sheep sale thanks for showing me round lanark auction

Just think the number of ewes that ram will have to breed just to break even. 1,105 if they're all singles at 95 pound a head and thats not taking into account any operational cost, he better be one randy fella

Pretty animals

At those prices, the lambs those rams sire better have golden hooves!

What are some pointers for those starting? Would you be so kind as you make a tutorial video on how to begin a sheep farm? Cheers bud and loving your videos so far

Wow that was crazy but with a ram at that price you could make some of your money back. I would like to see how much the ewes would sell for.

Quite the young businessman you interviewed.

You just got to watch it all right to the end he pops up everywhere Cammy great video once again !!!👌👍😁👍

105,000 SMACKEROONSIES! THAT’S AMAZING!

Love this

Sportsmans wonder if my cousin was there they celebrated last year 😂

I have always thought Texels are ugly but now I don’t it’s they are proud bordering on arrogant. Love the videos
