These are the best sheep we've ever bought.
North Country Cheviots.
All off the one farm.
264 of them!
We're delighted.... if in a slight panic about paying for them!
Let me know what you think of them

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 s a Police Officer 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 1200 breeding ewes.
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!
Since starting The Sheep Game I have met Lizzy and had two incredible boys Jock and Angus. You will see them all on this channel!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

You have to spend money to make money and the sheep you bought look like a good investment. You two are awesome, Angus is adorable and tell Jock we missed him today. I hope all this pays off for you. Thanks for including us.

Great looking Cheviot's Lizzy and Cammy, they should do extremely well for you, also paying a few pounds more for the younger one's will pay off in the long run. Nice job by you both, love the sales and the adrenaline of the sheep in the ring .

That is so nice to hear that you and Lizzie were able to get the sheep you wanted. You’ve worked really hard for it. Nice video, holy smokes that’s a big auction with a lot of sheep. Angus is so handsome and that beautiful smile is going to have girls and grandma’s falling all over him. Lol. ❤❤

Love the pop-up explanations! Great idea, Cammy or Lizzy. Your channel just keeps getting better. I hope the farmer can make enough to get a new tenancy. I felt faint when you got to 11,000. But what a great milestone for you both. May God bless you and all the sheep!

Quality ewes plus the quality rams you guys purchased is shaping up to be a monumental shift if the way you guys are playing the sheep game. Fingers crossed a farm comes available and you guys are able to get it at a decent price.

@cathymadsen2930 7 ай бұрын

I'm guessing the land owner gets more from ESG and carbon credits from leaving the ground bare so losing your tenancy is a big risk in this crazy upside down world where meat is bad and overgrown weedy grassland is good. Good on you guys for buying the farmers sheep for the new project. I pray both your family and the selling farming family have a great future. Feeding good quality and affordable protein to the population of the world is how we get people out of poor health and poverty.

I am so glad you're getting that bump looked at. When I was two I fell, or was pushed, and had two black eyes. As an adult I was told it was that early brake that made me ultimately need surgery to take the bone in my nose out. I had no drainage from my left sinus. I had sinus infections one after the other for over a year.

Lizzy bought land. I wish I could. Point you in the direction of the correct video it’s sometime late spring, I could be (probably are) wrong but if you listen carefully you’ll hear Cammy say something to her in this video that these are for her block of land. Maybe sitting in the truck? Edit for lousy grammar lol

When my family looks at photos of our son Teddy when he was small, nearly every one sports some evidence of a mishap. Head bumps, nose bumps, a scratch from my rose bushes, and all manner of childhood clumsiness. He’s 23 now - and always laughs as his photos sporting lumps and bumps. Part of being an active child!

I'm no expert when it comes to sheep Cammy but, they looked really good to my untrained eye. Well done to you and Lizzie, great investment for you both. For those wondering about the Scots word Blethering, it means talking or having a wee chat (talking a load of rubbish/chewing the fat really😂) We would call a child (or even a happy baby) that won't shut up a Wee Blether.

At times they were hard work having 3 under 3, but they are now men and we are so proud of them all. They really are a credit to us. Although because I was the only daughter with 4 brothers, so it was hard at times. But we are a very close family and always ready to help each other. As long as you teach them respect for others it covers everything, respect their beliefs, respect their friends, respect their property and their boundaries. We are so proud of all they have become 💙💙💙
