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 KZhead 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.
As a dog owner I find that completely unacceptable. But your defense of your wife and unborn child not to mention your livestock was absolutely correct! We all know that you didn’t make that decision lightly. We’re just sorry you all had to go through such an ordeal.
As a dog owner myself I never go into farmers field with livestock in it
Common sense 😮
@@hinata-wolf❤
@@hinata-wolf dunno if you're from the uk or not, but if not, in the uk it's very common for sheeps fields to be on common public walking paths, therefore it's very common to be wandering on livestock fields - however every place where you'll be entering field there are signs especially in lambing season reminding you to keep dog on lead and that farmers will protect their herd at the expense of your dog if need be. it's not irresponsible in the area to be in the farmers' field but it is irresponsible for your dog to be off lead in it. Wanderer's rights are a big thing in the UK - you are allowed to responsibly walk through someone's property, not doing any harm, but as he said, having an off-lead dog is not responsible wandering. I one time on a public trail in the Peak District had to tell someone to put their german shepherd on a lead before they reached the already-dead sheep i'd passed a quarter mile back - and one time in the same section I saw two off-lead greyhounds. Absolutely mad.
Surely in this day and age it can’t be ignorance that people don’t know not to let their dogs run in a sheep field. It’s just that they simply don’t give a dam about other people
Today's entitled sadly 😥
I only had a small flock, but I also kept some goats and a big Billy standing. He'd run with the sheep and was buddies with the ram. He also hated dogs and would fight and run them off. (He loved horses, though. Go figger.
Thoughtless and selfish...I do hope that this episode has brought him to his senses...also I hope that Cammy charges him.
We have a public footpath running through the edge of our 40 acre sheep and lamb field and inspite of signs asking people to keep their dogs on a lead, they still walk through throwing balls for the dog as if its a leisure park instead of my farm, where we produce food.
@@carlarichards and he looked old enough to know better too
Get the name and address and bill them for ---- medicine, any loss of livestock, and your time as a professional (not farmers rate) and bill them hard .when it ad's up to a thousand and more locals will and do payatention. It is just as bad in England. Keep up your spirits
Yes! Absolutely
That's horrific 😢
The police charged the guy. Up to a £40,000 fine in Scotland. Cammy can sue too, if he wanted.
@@DaibhidhBhoAlba The trouble w/lawsuits is the lawyers get rich & it would take up even more of Cammy's precious time. Happy to hear there's a sizeable fine! 💕💕
So how much did the owner give you before you let him leave your land? Did he offer you some significant compensation there and then? What an idiot! I'd expect his name and address (which he can prove) and definitely press charges. The incident needs to be so expensive and uncomfortable for the owner, he doesn't consider bringing his dog near there again! (And I'm a dog owner by the way)!
I am a dog owner, and I am FURIOUS about that owner that could not control their dog. I am so sorry that happened to you. Lizzie & those Mama Ewes are strong warrior women!
Looked like a pup too, what kind of plum has a pup off lead?
Despite being asked by Lizzy and Cammy to get his dog the man kept throwing the ball to it. I am for right to roam, but with respect to the farmer and what ever they have got going on in the field.
Those ewes end up being slaughtered by these two muppets.
@WendyGerrard That right to roam law is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. I’ve seen hundreds of videos where that law backfired in so many landowners, and 95% of them were dog attacks! The law is damned stupid and it needs to be removed asap!
I still can’t believe how hard having to deal with the entire situation must have been - just the worst possible thing for everyone involved in it!! Hope you’re all well, sheep, the dug and you guys - people just have no clue whatsoever and change needs to be forced - no body should ever have to be thrown into that situation
Completely agree and I think he handled that situation far better than I would have. I don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate 😢
@@amandak6974100% I genuinely feel angry watching this and I know for a fact there’s no way I’d have handled it as well as Cammie.
I say again, there is NO risk for you to keep your dog on a leash and EVERY risk to have them off!!! Why? I love love love dogs but NO ONE can tell me that a dog's nose won't ever get them in trouble. I feel for everyone. That man looked older, I know what our pets mean to us as older people but jeesh!
It was the panic in your voice cammy when you said Lizzie was running around 34 weeks pregnant, 🥺I was tearing up🥹 so glad she’s ok xx
Shocking. There are some idiots out there. Hope the sheep, lambs and Lizzie are ok.
My name is Naomi and I am 8 year old. I help my daddy lamb and I got daddy to get Crystalyx locks today. I love watching the sheep 🐑 game. ❤❤
Hi, Naomi, I love watching the Sheep Game too.❤🐑❤ The little lambs are so cute. Did you see Jock feeding the lambs with a bottle? 🍼👱🏻I would like to do that some day but we don't have many sheep near my home. Mostly cows and horses.🐂🐄🐎
Naomi , your family should be so proud of your hard work and love of farming .My 7 and 1/2 year daughter Louisa wakes up at 3am every morning to do the lambing rounds in the sheep sheds .Well done Naomi ,enjoy every minute and stay safe.Again these young children are the future of our way of life ,our community , our environment and food and our future.Well done
Hi Naomi....may I just say what a great name you have 😊.....I am so happy to hear that you are helping your Daddy with lambing we need more young people to learn about farming.
Hello Naomi. You seem like a great sheep farmer.
8 years old? You shouldn't even be on KZhead.
Cammy. You and lizzy are a credit to sheep farming. A tough video to publish but dog situations like this need to be made public and you did it in a very diplomatic way. Hats off to you both.
Totally agree with you. Dog owners must learn the law and control their dogs on leash.
So glad Meg and her victory rolls are back! 🤗
YES!! 😅🎉
Me to her victory rolls are so funny love Naomi
These brainless people that let dogs off near sheep are not fit to have dogs
Cammy, we had a dog attack a few weeks ago. Killed a ewe who was lambing, the lamb she had already had and worried a flock of pregnant ewes. You 100% did the right thing! The law in this country regarding dogs on leads is far too relaxed. Thankfully the owner was absolutely mortified and paid for our losses. We have a footpath running through one of our fields and it's a constant battle with dog owners who think it's a dog park. Wish you and Lizzie all the best for the rest of lambing!
I had an uncle and aunt in New Zealand who were dairy farmers. They also raised a small flock of sheep. My uncle told me that if he saw any large dog running loose on his property he would shoot it on sight; all farmers did that then and the law allowed it. They weren't cruel people; most of them owned dogs themselves, and knew what the risks were if their own dogs got loose and ended up on another farmer's property. But they just knew the amount of damage a single dog could do.
We had this with cattle and we put a dairy shorthorn with a calf in the field both dog and owner got delt with 😂😂😂😂 problem was I ended up best friends with trading standards and APHA but it was worth it. We had to give up farming due to TB and my elderly relatives dying...and when will sorted out I got to get some more land.
@markhusseymh1 absolutely best way of dealing with it! I will never understand the idiocity of some people! 🤦🏽♀️ Good luck with the land!
Those poor sheep. It's a nightmare for anyone with stock. My own sheltie went AWOL after 7 years of reliable behaviour as a rural watch dog. Had always kept home, kept roos out of the garden. Sheep in paddocks on 2 sides. Never a problem as I'd taught her young to ignore. But, new neighbours had roaming chickens who came onto our land. I didn't pay attention. She later went after neighbour's chickens and got through a fence gap made by a roo. Result? Can't trust her with stock ever, and she's now locked in the house garden. Only outside on a long line. It was my fault - the fence line was not checked enough, and I didn't read my dog. Hope your ewes are OK.
OMG Hearing Lizzy pleading for him to get his dog, and seeing the sheep being terrorized is absolutely heartbreaking I was fighting back tears! You guys work so hard to keep Moms and babies safe and healthy then to have that happen. I am glad Lizzy is OK. I hope the sheep and lambs are all fine as well! As a dog owner I never let mine off the leash in public just out of curtsy to other people! On a more positive note, I love these lambing vlogs, the babies are just so cute! So much respect for what farmers do and all the hard work!
Unbelievable , and of course most folks say ah sure he wouldn't touch you or any animal , well God didn't give them teeth for nothing , we had a few episodes of this and the attitude of the owners is beyond words .
So frustrating how people are on this off-leash nonsense. Just put your dog on a dang leash, especially if you're in farm land / public areas. It'll prevent your dog from getting hurt AND you won't have to pay for another person's injured animals or god forbid any hospital visits for said people. It's so simple yet so many don't think about any of this 😮💨 I just can't comprehend how selfish some people can be.
In Arizona it's illegal to not have your dog under control. You can have your dogs seized and get *hefty* fine. I have had problems with owners that can't control their dogs trying to kill or killing my animals and going after me. If you can't voice control them, keep them on a leash and take them to obedience classes. Our Dobie was an attack trained guard dog and obedience trained. Her I would trust, but I would still leash her around farm animals. Even a dog with training up the yin yang can break control, just don't risk it I have no patience for bad dog owners any more.
@@PhantomQueenOne it's also illegal to have a dog out of control in the UK, people just don't seem to care. A farmer is also entirely within their rights to shoot an out of control dog that is attacking livestock so even if these people are too selfish to care about other people's animals, why would they risk losing their own for the sake of a leash? I totally agree that I don't care how well trained a dog is they are not robots and something could happen that results in them acting uncharacteristicly, your dogs leash is your guarantee should that happen. Unless your dog is specifically trained to work with livestock, and is working with your livestock (or is working with permission from the livestock owner) your dog should never be off lead around livestock.
@@stephcharlie As much as training may fail, a dog is only on a lead as long as it is on a lead so a lead is NOT a guarantee.
@@saltyc3194 don’t get me wrong, there is no substitute for good training but my point was to keep dogs on leads anywhere where mistakes could be problematic. Your lead is your last defence if something happens and training goes out of the window so it’s the owners responsibility to make sure that the dog is on a lead, preferably 6ft or less under close control anywhere where mistakes become dangerous like near livestock and near roads etc if you have a dog that is able to slip a flat collar get a martingale or a harness, preferably one with a strap that goes behind the ribcage for escapologist dogs. I have put a lot of time into ensuring that my dog is well trained and often she gets complemented on her behaviour and obedience (we often hear “I wish my dog would do that when out and about”) but I am under no illusion that she is perfect so I ensure she’s on her lead when she needs to be and only off lead when it’s safe.
I also hate those extensible leashes because in an emergency the owner does NOT have immediate control of the dog. Dogs are predators, hard-wired to chase. People are supposed to take the time to train them. If your dog won't reliably "Come" when it's distracted by a rabbit or a squirred, you have NO business walking it offleash.💕💕
The desperation in Lizzie's voice scared me. I hope she and your sheep will be ok.
My daughter is a veterinary nurse from OK, living for a year in Scotland and she went to a local sheep farm to help with lambing today. The pictures she sent are awesome and a video of her delivering twins. As she usually (here in the States) works with horses/dogs etc., it was fun to see her working with the lambs. On another note, if we have dogs running cattle/horses/sheep whatever, we dispatch them to the hereafter. I hate that we have to do it but that is a very hard habit to break a dog of, and especially if their owners don't care enough to keep them in a yard.
What a wonderful opportunity for your daughter. I am way past the working age for helping with lambing. I'd be able to hold a bottle to feed lambs like Jock.
I’m a dog lover, but there’s absolutely NO excuse for an owner not having control of their dog! So very thankful that Lizzie is ok. Maybe an LGD or a hardy donkey would help to protect the flock. Donkeys hate dogs and will protect the flock with their lives. Blessings Cammy, Lizzie, Miranda, and precious little Jock and Angus. ❤🐑🐏
What's "OK" when it's at home?
@@DaibhidhBhoAlba OK is the abbreviation for Oklahoma
Texas girl here & that was my first thought, here we have to drop a dog that's running livestock. Literally thought Cammy needs to drop that dog! It's such a shame to see a beautiful dog with no manners. I have 3 husky-wolf dogs that know commands & the only time that one of them broke was when I was attacked by a stray pit. It had a hold of my hand & if it wasn't for my boy I would have lost my arm.
We all support you Cammy and agree with you! Your response was totally normal.
Fairplay to the two of ye, ye handled it so well. Such torture. Lambing time is hard enough without that shite!!
You have nothing to be ashamed of. You and Lizzy are heroes. The dog owner has learned a hard lesson today and rightly so. And your boy feeding the lamb just melted my heart. x
Why why why, do dog owners not follow the country code, you never, never, never let your dog run lose, around live stock, they can so easily get under the fence, then chaos follows. Those poor sheep, are so vulnerable at lambing season.
99% of people now days don't even know about the country code
It's not even necessary to know this to have common sense around farm animals!! It's not exactly a secret or something that people should have their dog under control near other animals!!
I'm furious with that dog owner! I'm so glad you two were able to address the issue. So relieved with the result.
Came across this video through a post on a spaniel group on Facebook. Knew nothing about lambing and just want to say how amazing that whole video was up till the dog attack. The love and care that you all put in to those wee beings is just tremendous. The dog attack upset me for sure. Once when I heard how pregnant your wife is and hearing her voice :-(, then hearing the doggo got hit but absolutely you had to. So glad he is ok. Amazing insight to lambing though. Thank you
Thanks very much that’s very kind.
Look here, I am in Alaska. I am enjoying these long videos, your showing the whole picture and that's as it should be. Thank you Cammy. I'm sorry about the dog attack but you actually controlled your left a lot better then I would have or how my spouse would have behaved. I do hope Lizzie is all right please tell her I'm praying for her. You're doing a great job the lot of you. Keep doing it, don't dwell just keep going. Marissa bless you for helping them.
I saw it on lizzy's insta it broke my heart to hear her so worried about the ewes. People who do this sort of thing should be made to work for free with a shepherd just so they understand how much work and time and love you put into your work ❤
Spending night's in jail before reporting to work for two weeks would stop this. Community service on the weekends at farm's
They’ve no regard for animals I don’t know any farmer who’d willingly let such folk about to work…
@@VelEire_ Shoveling manure and cleaning equipment won't hurt the animals.
@@givmi_more_w9251 aye true, fencing even
You’re a better man than me cammy. When you’re sleep deprived at lambing I know that could have gone a lot worse for that dog and its owner I’ve little patience at lambing
Wow, that was intense. It’s so insane that the owner could not get his dog under control. My dog, if given the chance, would for sure run a few laps. But she would not just continue like that. Especially with me calling and being surrounded. We live in NY, and we never allow her off a leash outside. I understand there may be different, but holy hell that dog was possessed. My anxiety was literally on 100.
My dog is half Greenland dog, half white swiss shepherd. His prey drive is insane and if hes allowed to chase, hes gonna chase until either he or the prey falls over...... I would NEVER walk him off leash in public, no mater how nice and well behaved he is on the leash, atleast im smart enough to realize my dog is a dog, and will hunt if allowed. Owners like the one in the video ruins things for everyone else....
@@CookieCrusherC full disclosure, I have a 2lb 4oz Yorkie ….She would definitely do just a few laps and be spent. (Told you I’m in NY, although we have a whole house and small yard…she’s always leashed. Mostly for her own good 😩)
We love to see Meg's victory rolls! Damn shame such a gorgeous dog is owned by a goddamn idiot who decided it was a grand idea to let it off lead on private property that was filled with sheep and lambs! Glad to hear that a responsible friend was the one to call the situation in. Glad Lizzy is ok after that, poor woman did not need that kind of stress on top of being so heavily pregnant. Thanks for the vlog Cammy, very appreciated that you managed to get it up for us despite all that stress 💜
For a second I thought you were saying Meg was the gorgeous dog and canny was the idiot. Thought we’ll that’s a bit rude but I haven’t finished watching… I need to up my reading comprehension
To be fair to you, I could have been a bit clearer on which dog I meant! @@celinavivian1162
My goodness, Jock is so gentle and nurturing!! It's obvious you two are amazing parents!!!
I totally love your honest account of lambing. It is shocking that dogs are not walked on the lead around farmlife. As a dog owner it infuriates me.The government needs to make the owners accountable
No words except I’m so sorry you and Lizzie had to go through that. Sending heartfelt hugs to you both.
Me to loveeeee Naomiiiii
Same thing in Sweden and here is law to have dogs on a leash between March and August. Some people don't think about anyone else but themselves.
Saw a similar issue with a woman letting her dogs run on Dalscone Farm fields and chasing pregnant Ewe's. Can't understand the blatant ignorance in those people. The woman at Dalscone actually told them she let the dogs loose on purpose to see how they would act around their sheep. !!! Good Grief! Glad your sheep are alright. I commend you for doing what you did to stop the dog.
The average dog owner is quite frankly an idiot. Very few train their dogs or even socialise their pups. A neighbour of mine wanted to put his Jack Russel in my front garden to see how he reacted to my cat( who was used to my trained dogs) . I just said to him do you want a dead dog? I was not joking as 2 dogs came over my high wall and attacked my pups and I had them put down by SPCA so I mean it. I think you need to toughen up and not be so soft. Remove dog for compulsory training which owner must pay for I have been training my dogs for years and I know the bunny huggers would go crazy but I was taught that the only answer for livestock chasing is to use an electric collar.
What action was taken...I do hope she was reported to the police😡😤🙂...were the sheep ok?
@@marleneclough3173 I got a border collie and discovered that it had a taste for my sheep. Mean through and through. I sold it to some people without livestock. Did put a collar on her, which was fine, but didn't really help.
@@LadyLithias oh sorry for that. Yes some of the border collies I have seen at shows do not have a great temperament. For the obedience competitions they only seem to breed for willingness to listen and obey commands but temperament not considered. Sad for what was a great working breed
@@marleneclough3173show people ruin every breed and everything good about owning the pedigrees. The border collies are badly tempered, gsd are horribly sloped on the back end, pugs boxers and other brachycephallics can’t breathe, the sharpei can’t see, dachshund’s get slipped discs…and the list goes on. We don’t really work dogs anymore for their actual purposes so the show people are free to over exaggerate whatever physical traits They like best…rather than good breeding for whatever job it was originally designed to do. It’s very sad because they’re working against Mother Nature and that can’t be a good thing.
Cammy, i think you showed great restraint considering that it wasnt just your sheep at risk but the health of your wife and unborn child as well!! Many a lesser man would have taught that dog owner a lesson! I hope you can press charges against him. It might be the only way to make folks be more responsible. And I’m a big dog lover, but your wife and baby,,,, that crossed a big line for me. ❤
I can't praise you both enough. Lizzy is one amazing woman, being in late pregnancy and fending off a dog attack on livestock, she still uses gentle wording in her request for that bastard to get control of his dog. And good on you Cammy for taking the right action in that situation, I would have had a heart attack in anger in it was me in that situation. And your words afterwards about the dog is spot on.
Horrifying. Absolutely horrifying. Cammy- Lizzie- I glad you’re ok. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bless Jock, feeding the lambs. He is wonderful and it’s beautiful to see that you bring him along. Look after yourself Lizzie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are doing a super-heroic job, Cammy! You kept your temper admirably so the police could follow up. If the owner couldn't stop the dog, you had to. Glad it's okay.
Cammy so sorry for the struggles and stresses! Lizzie is such a sweetheart bless her running around pregnant like that! I really hope you can get the rules/regulations changed about people having their dogs off lead like that on private land! Positive vibes towards less stressful days ahead ❤
Sad end to a really joyous video. One minute I'm laughing at Jock asleep and the next ,,,,, well the sheep attack. Words fail me on that. Hope you're all ok. Look forward to the next video
So sorry guys as if lambing isn’t stressful enough. It seems to happen on an increasingly regular basis. Had 9 lambs killed the first day of lambing last year...it’s so heartbreaking Hopefully that’s the last this year🤞
The dog plague has been growing and people seem to care less and less about others. Entitlement plus dogs is a horrible mix.

Hi Sheep Game, I hope Lizzy and baby girl are ok! 35 weeks pregnant…. She should not have had to deal with that especially as she has been having a hard time with her hips and things. Sending love and hope she got plenty of rest after that. X
I’m praying for you Cammy 🙏… Lizzy, please be safe !! We all Love you both !! … and of course the boys 😊💕💕💕
I’m 66, and the red sky in the morning was something that my cousins and I said every day when we were kids. Made me smile when you said it!!
The "red sky at morning" is a maxim that's over 2000 years old! Tho I'm sure it's slightly different below the equator!
❤ I’m from an island town so we said sailors for both no farmers at all lol it was sailor’s delight lol
Do you have a fire arms certificate mate, and also the owner would have been shown on camera if i were filming... Pleased Lizzie is ok xx
Bless yours and Lizzie’s hearts! Hoping you get good rest and better lambing days ahead. 🐑❤️🐑
My favourite bit about sheep games lambing season is the meg victory rolls! I think she only does them when she sees her hooman dad running like a crazed clown trying to catch a sheep. Also my daughter’s name is Meg so it holds a special place in my heart. Had to edit this to say omg! Sending my love and thoughts to Lizzie! Hope she got some good rest. Hope the ewes and lambs were okay afterwards xxx
I love watching the lambs be born! The day for your little girl is getting closer!
Aww Cammy those poor lambs with that dog.. I am a Group Scout Leader based in London, who has just covered The Countryside code with all my young people from the age of 6years to 13 years... couldn't stress enough about keeping dogs on leads near farm fields... especially around this time of the year... hope Lizzy is doing OK. Xx keep up the good work
That was awful, I was getting emotional watching it, Can you let us know what police did with the dog.
I want to know what, if anything, the police are going to do to the Owner!
Are there laws regarding off-leash dogs harassing livestock?
@@Cricket2731yes there are but very few ever get to prosecution
@@philomenahearn1717 , Almost sounds like some of the law-breakers in the states. But I did come across a case in my neighborhood, many years ago. Whenever the owner was out with his dog, it HAD to wear a muzzle, as it had bitten someone. It was the only way for the dog to avoid being put down.
I was shaking and crying because I was so worried about Lizzy. I’m glad everyone is ok. You’re a great man!
It say’s so much about you as person that you are worried about that dog!
Where we live you pay a hefty fine if your dog is off leash. Plus you need to have a rabies vaccination and tag every year and every two years you need to pay $45US to the county for a registration tag. If your dog attacks another animal on private property they are quarantined for a period of time and you pay a fine. If they bite a person they are put down. And still with all of these rules you see owners unleash their dogs and let them run around the football fields and play areas. It’s a blessing that Lizzie wasn’t harmed and lambs and sheep weren’t lost. Hoping the rest of your season is less stressful.
Fully support all the comments . Just glad you are all ok. X❤😊
Good morning from California Cammy! Absolutely love these longer lambing vlogs. You’re working so hard and it’s very appreciated by all of us followers. Jock feeding the lamb was too precious! So sorry to hear about yet another dog attack, I hope Lizzy is alright! When will these dog owners learn?! How hard is it to control your pets around someone’s livelihood? Hope you’ve all gotten rest and recuperated. Love to you, Lizzy, and the kids💖
Behind every strong Man is even a stronger Woman! Lizzy always amazes me and the love Cammy has for her and the boys is something special.
Never feel bad about the length of the videos, we'd watch every second of it! Thank you for all your hard work, I hope things get better for y'all
My word! I am exhausted just watching this video! I don't know how you can maintain this energy for the entire lambing season. Prayers to you all. (BTW...loved seeing the affection between you and Lizzie
Awwww Cammie, when I finally saw Lizzie I cried. So, I have no concept of the emotions you must have been experiencing. 😢🇳🇿
Love you all for showing the truth about your lives. Beautiful ❤
Absolute stars, both of you dealing with that dog , loving seeing Megs victory rolls ,she’s going to have some tally at the end of lambing !
I can not believe that this still happens with peoples dogs. How can they be so stupid and irresponsible. Boils my piss when all they say is "oh i didnt know there was sheep in here" Well it sure as sh1t not fluffy white clouds running around the bloody fields!!!!!
my niece feels like "it's okay so long as they don't actually bite the sheep" and she allows her dogs into my pasture, where my 7 ewes and 11 lambs will be in the next couple of weeks.
Love the vernacular👍🏻
@@LadyLithias its NOT ok, stressing sheep like that. How disrespectful!
@@LadyLithias I would not be letting her anywhere near my sheep and pasture. It’s up to you to stand up to your niece whom I presume is an adult and tell her what’s what and that it is unacceptable and that she isn’t welcome. 🌸🌸
@@stephaniesummers7452 Yes, I know. Sadly, once we began the project of fencing in our ten acres, and building a barn, my dad began to show his dementia. I love the sheep, despite how physically challenging they are. Interesting how, after I wrote my comment yesterday, I decided to bring my sheep out of the pasture for a trot round the property, lambs and all. Then my sister or niece let all three dogs out. And two of my sheep are first time mothers, with lambs less than 2 weeks old. (This is a four-horned variety of sheep).... and the instant one of my first-timers saw the dog, she just CHARGED and pancaked the dog against the house. Dog survived, but my niece got a bit of a shock because the sheep have never done anything but run away from her dogs. But the first-timer was just a lamb when my niece moved in, and has been chased and worried by those dogs her whole life. There was no way she was going to allow them to attack her babies. I don't like to see any animal injured, but I felt some vindication as to why it might not be a good choice, if you love your dogs, to let them out in the pasture. Particularly this year, as I'll have six, possibly seven ram lambs I'm going to be raising up for the next year, and those things are LETHAL. They'll all have observed my one ewe going blitzo on the dogs, and they'll remember. Of course we won't even discuss how ludicrous it was for anyone to let the dogs out of the house without a leash while I had 18 sheep and 4 goats going for a "walk" outside the front door. (free lawnmower self-propelled and complete with the ability to evenly distribute fertilizer)
Loved your video. You did the correct thing to protect your sheep. Sleep well. Make sure that the two of you get as much sleep as possible during this time.
Many years ago, we had a small acreage and had sheep. In the spring we had several lambs in the field. Like I said, it was a very small acreage looking out the back window one morning I saw a black lab, shaking one of the baby lambs like a toy, I ran out in my underwear and T-shirt with a shotgun shot. Several times never hit the dog, but because the dog was so scared he into the fence and broke his neck and it was killed. It instantly never felt sorry one minute talk to the owners, they understood I get it. It is so emotional to see something like that happen, and it shouldn’t happen because we all need to be responsible for our livestock and pets😊
I’m so damn sorry that you and Lizzie had to go through that and to have to take that drastic measure. The owner is absolutely a disgrace and proven by the fact that you were pushed to having to make that decision. I’m thoroughly glad that Lizzie and the baby are ok.
Ugh, Hugs to Lizzie! hope she's doing well! hoping the sheep are okay, too. hard start to lambing for sure.
You had every right to protect your flock, and that guy is lucky he wasn't carrying his dog away in a bag, there are many farmers who take zero chance and immediately dispatch any dogs attacking their livestock. The fact that guy had the cheek to be upset at Cam despite this being entirely his fault for not training his dog to recall and then allowing it to run free. I hope he learnt his lesson and NEVER takes his dog off lead, and maybe train the dog to actually listen to him.
Thanks for your video Cammie and Lizzy (and Maria). Well done for all your hard work. Love your honesty and showing everything, really important to to help us understand farming. 🐑🐏🐑
Marisa!! Auto correct 😂😂
Marissa double auto correct 😊😉
Oh Cammy...oh Lizzie.... what a day....love to you all...
So proud of you for standing your ground with the dog owner. As a dog owner myself who lives in the US in a subdivision, I’ve seen this teenager walking this giant dog and he never cleans up after his dog, etc. I sent my husband out to address it yesterday. Our lawn is not for your dog to shat or pee on! I used to not worry about it much, but then we started paying landscapers plus fertilizer company so we have a nice yard. We also have paid to fence in our backyard so our dog isn’t a nuisance to others! You & Lizzie & your team work so hard -to see it in jeopardy bc of selfish, uneducated people makes me crazy! ❤❤People should show respect for others’ life’s work! Love you Cammy! Hang in there! Congrats on the pregnancy!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Yes please post the whole videos as well! I’d love to just binge watch lambing vpideos
You’re a master farmer. Your channel should get accredited with the agricultural colleges everywhere for in depth learning and as part of a farmer continual professional development scheme.
👍
🇨🇦 I love your long videos Cammy. Never too much. I love that you don’t close your videos with your hand anymore. My husband said it’s like you’re hitting us lol
Hi Cammy & Family,thank you for your vlog, it was very much appreciated as always,so sorry to see the dog attack, we hope Lizzy and the sheep are ok, big hugs to you all Sue & Ben (Woodhall Spa) xx
The dog attack , truly shocking and so sorry to see it but thank you for raising awareness
Greetings from South Georgia in America. It’s horrible with dogs here and I had to endure rabies vaccinations from being bitten. The sheriff had to shoot at them to back off. 3 weeks later my son stabbed one to keep it from biting him. The owner didn’t care and never bothered to take their own animal to the vet. I really miss the older days when people were polite and accepted responsibility for their animals.
I grew up on cattle farm, that dog would have been shot. It's all on the owner. Good luck with all the lambing❤
As if lambing season isn’t stressful enough without having to deal with these people and their dogs! This whole situation made me so angry 😡 I saw Lizzie’s video the other day and I was very worried for her, I hope she was able to get some rest. On a lighter note you are such a comedian, seeing you with the dummy in your mouth cracked me up! Jock is a delight loved seeing him feed the lamb 😊. I’m happy for you to make longer videos I enjoy seeing you go about your day ❤
Where I live in the US, the dog wouldn't live long with instant lead poisoning. End of story. We have the legal right to instantly defend livestock.
Same in New Zealand.
We have the right in the UK to dispatch the dogs to
Despite gun control, farmers have riffle to protect livestock here too 🇨🇦
Same in Ireland
I think In most country’s have the right to defend stock
I'm a dog owner and I absolutely understand and support your decision. I HATE people who let their dogs run free when they can't control and recall them. It's dangerous for everyone involved and it's just so, so unnecessary. I'm not even gonna talk about the fact that this person decided it was a good idea to let their dog run in a field with sheep on it... unbelievable. I feel sorry for the dog and hope it's okay, it's not to blame for not being trained well enough by the owner. Glad you all are OK ❤
My goodness! The dog on the loose while babies are being born! I was proud of you!❤❤❤
Those lambs are pretty big. Sorry to hear you have Mr Fox hanging about and yet another dog attack. 😡Maybe there could be PSAs on the radio about not letting dogs off leash because it is lambing and calving season. 😊👍👍 I nearly spit out my coffee when you said “lady hole”. 😂
Me too 😂😂😂😂
@@ann-or6ev I thought that was cute!
Your wife is such an angel, that patience in the messy situation as well as her still friendly tone was so impressive. Tho your anger DEFINITELY was understandable. Having a Spaniel that's uncontrollable and off-leash is NOT something to do. I have no idea why owners do this. Tho I am glad he didn't seem the type to make excuses without admitting fault entirely, let alone get all arrogant and aggressive. I hope the brown little perpetrator will be okay tho. And that he and his owner will have learned a lesson. The more often I see how much this causes problems, not just for the sheep, the more I wish you could just get a Kangal pup for each herd you have. That would make things SO much easier.
Or Ovcharka, or something similar!
@@lovelightcontinuum True! There are multiple breeds that could work tbh. Maremmas I think are also the type to protect. Tho Kangals and such are the ones that are the most fierce and effective with size alone. Smaller dogs might be seen as 'I can take that one' kinda opponents in the way of an excited dog's fun. That's kinda why I prefer them bigger. XD
Great Pyrenees. Gentle and fabulous LGDs. But can handle a coyote, fox on its own. As well as obnoxious dogs.
@@pamelamaynecorreia1688 Are you sure? They are huge, I'd think they can deal with a pesky fox at least. Unless they are THAT friendly and maybe too 'weak willed' (not sure if that is the best way to say it, cannot think of anything in english right now tho).
@@Managable_Mayhemgood catch. It should say can handle. !
I love the part where Jock is asleep and you’re sucking the binky😂😂😂😂so sorry for the dog attack, I love y’all
Cammy, I don’t blame you one bit for being very upset, that dog owner is absolutely clueless and selfish like many are! If a shepherd carried a gun in the buggy, who would blame him! Thank God Lizzy is ok, that could have went very badly! Never worry about how long your videos are, we can always pause and come back! 💕🇨🇦
Given her condition, Lizzie probably should...but then tjetes risk with tbe boys and so on....
I do, but I'm in the US. It's 100% for dogs, not people.
Always wondered what the shepherds hook was for. It's fun to what in action.
Love the long videos. It's a really treat 😊
Glad you like them! Although KZhead are stopping the ad revenue due to the blood so may need to start editing more out! 🥹
@@TheSheepGame. Honestly, that’s what nature looks like! Turn on the TV here in the US and on primetime non-cable telly the shows are all guns and violence and cursing and sex. Ditto the news. I’d much rather kids see the natural acts of animals than all that other garbage.
Have you considered keeping a donkey in that lambing field bordering the walking path? In the US farmers keep donkeys to guard sheep and they're mean as hell when it comes to strange dogs. They've been known to stomp coyotes to death! I hope Lizzie is well and that she's none the worse for wear. Best wishes to you both.
What an awesome idea. A donkey can take out a cougar (mountain lion, not the other one). Something to consider Cammy.
Terrific video, Cammy! I’ve shared your video to Morgan Gold @GoldShawFarm channel. He’s had ongoing problems with hunters in Vermont hunting bears with loose dogs wearing gps collars. This hunting is legal in Vermont and Morgan is trying to make changes through the legislature. While I realize your two circumstances aren’t exactly parallel, the law protecting irresponsible dog owners is similar in spirit. The property owners (farmers or not) have very little power. They can follow rather draconian no-trespass signage laws, but if the perpetrator pulls the signs down and claims they were never there, the property owner has no recourse. Hope the remainder of lambing is relatively drama-free. Best wishes to Lizzy!
You're doing an amazing job, the group of you. I'm thrilled to be along for the ride.
Love your longer videos and I would definitely sit to watch a 2hr+ unedited version. Great work Cammy, you're an absolute trooper 💪
Well done you handled that terrible situation very well
I just don’t know what to say - nothing really to say - you’ve said it all Cammy and Lizzie. A better day tomorrow! 🐨👍
Having had land/stock and dealt with similar, I totally get your frustration at how the public behave. Best wishes to you Lizzy and the boys.
Adorable family!! Thank God Lizzie is doing well, shuttered perhaps, but doing well….phew! LOVE all your videos- hard work for sure! Sleep well…,until tomorrow. And thanks!!
Don’t feel too bad cammie, you did what you had to do, he’s lucky you didn’t shoot it! Stupid owner, where is common sense with some people?!! Jeez, glad lizzie is ok 😊
Love that jog across the field. I did that Thursday chases after my non responsive Minnie Aussie and Shihtzu . They are pretty much the same size. They went the edge of the field doing a check but it wasn't our field. I a 60 year old not in the best of shape at the moment in my Wellies at top speed. I couldn't hardly breath LOL
Cammy this is a great video. There is action, drama, tragedy, and emotion with humor all in the course of real life reality. Glad everyone was ok. Thank you for sharing. Take care👍🏻
Does the sheep you’ve had the longest recognise/know you and are calmer, or do they still run away from you? 26:11 when I was around 10 I helped bottle feed some lambs too, it was amazing! 🥰
