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.
No beeping!! Its in the bible 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I cried I laughed so hard😂
Hmmmm..I don't seem to temember that verse!🤫
“Pet the dog” is what we say in the US. Love your show and your little family! God bless you ❤
Same in Canada. You can pet the dog or pat the dog. Never heard the expression clap the dog.
Sómetimes we say pat the dog. You are too hard on yourself. Name the baby Meg
Meg would be a good idea for the new baby@@denisei7929
Name the baby Margaret and call her Meg. She can spend her whole adult life going to therapy getting over being named for a dog. That is what adulthood is for.
@@goldensolitude I am named after the dog, myself. His name was Pat, so they feminized it for me.
"no beeping on Sundays - it's in the bible" 😂 very nice video. Perfect watch on a lovely Sunday here in Austria
I'm glad you finally heard me yelling USE THE TRACTOR! 😁 You and Lizzie are amazing. Two kids, sheep and a dog, and you just roll with it. And the dog is the only one waiting for you to tell him what to do...
Lol I just love Jock. He's so adorably feral, what a wonderful way to grow up.
In the Swedish language when you pet a dog we say "klappa" the dog. Must be a link from the Vikings in Scotland.
I am in the north east of Scotland and we would say clap or soften it by saying give the dog a clappy. A clap round the ears is altogether much harder
I’ve told my husband about your special ewe who has twins every year. He was right impressed and he’s not a sheep guy, he’s a city boy. I do love sheep. I think feeding them is the best part too. Just being out with them and hanging out, watching, listening.
Considering her age it’s great to celebrate her on Mothering Sunday 😆
Love it when jock steals the camera and says “my sheep game” sooooo fkn adorable ❤❤
Super video today Cammy! Love seeing Jock and Angus “helping”, love seeing Spot doing his thing and love seeing you making everything more difficult for yourself! Great stuff.
Omg 🤣🤣🤣Jock and spot, Jock and the beep, Cami and the bale🤣🤣🤣 but Cami the best was the beautiful countryside oh it make my heart swell🥰 thank you so much
Well said! I couldn't agree more😊
Greetings from upper left USA, Cammy! Clapping a dog is a new one for me. We usually say petting. Yes, it is redundant - we pet our pets.
Cammy, that bale lifter is specifically designed to tip bales up on their end! That was hard to watch 😂 looking forward to some lambing videos!
If there were lowland games instead of highland games, surely there would be a 'bale back push' type of game you could enter.🙂 I applaud your ingenuity and tenacity in ultimately getting the bales where you needed them! You showed them who the boss is in the end.
You have Sandy to entertain.
Happy Mother’s Day to Lizzie and your mum. Cammy you never fail to make me laugh 😂 I had an image of you pressing an ejection button in the tractor and finding yourself on top of the bale 😂 Poor wee Jock is going to get into trouble when he tells his teacher that there 11 commandments now the last one being no beeping your horn on a Sunday 😂
🤣 i’ll need to carve it in stone!
We say “pet the dog” instead of clap the dog. I love watching the dogs work and also watching the boys learn and help. What a magical childhood!
Wee jock saying "the sheep game" has to be the cutest thing ever 💪🥰
Loved the tractor man moves bales...😂😅😂 & Jock 'clapping' SPOT ( IN 🇨🇦 WE PET THE PUP/DOG) & Lizzy has a name for your wee baby...TESS was one of my favs
Also, I watched loads of ADVERTISING, HOPE that it HELPS$$$💜🙏✝️🙏💜👀🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Our 3 babydoll ewes are all carrying twins. Should be due in a few weeks. 😃 NW Oregon, USA!
Yay! Great scan result. Best wishes for successful lambing.
That is awesome!
Cammie!! Thank you for making me laugh! 😅 Your spledud ewe with tiny ears has to be called HERO. It's out of the classics...Hero and Leander...it's a girl's name...and both describes her prowess at having twins and her funny esrs 😂🎉❤
🤣 great!
"MY Sheep Game!" Jocky LOVES the camera. Cammy, work smart not hard. Use the tractor to push the 1 ton bales! 😂 To be fair, I drop the bale off the trailer then push it with the truck. No need for rupturing a hernia. 😅
No beeping on sunday! It's in the Bible! KILLED me! LOL
Thank you for sharing your life Cammy and Lizzie xx
Wishing You A Day Full Of Joy And Filled With Energy🎉❤
Dangerous my foot! I loved it when my dad let me ride on the running board or the back of the truck and drive in his lap. I'm glad you've got a good place to let him have those memories since you can't do it on neighborhood streets anymore.
🤣🤣🤣OMG, Cammy!!! Don't throw your back out trying to move the massive hay bales; that's what the machines are for. You and Lizzie are hard-working dynamos!
Seeing you try to up-end the bale reminded me of a saying from my grandfather. “It takes 18 years to make a man, and two years to make a horse. So bring on the damn horses”
😂
Grandpa had the right idea!
In America it is usually pet the dog. Even farmers that aren’t “just sheep guys” have their days off bad stuff happening. The key is, you solved the problem and got the job done without calling for help! Great job Cammy!
The Hoof Game hat strikes again! 😂
Thank you for the drone shots!
@@wrenshomestead❤😊
I would buy one.
Under a barns tin roof listening to rain and sheep eating hay will always be my favorite sound . 💕 my baby name suggestion is Claire .
I could literally watch you and your little family every day. ❤
Cammy you are so funny. Don’t beep the horn on the lords day, it’s in the bible must be the best quote I have ever heard. Then jock letting spot out. That wee man is great, he’s such a wee character. Perfect way to start my Sunday morning. Great video 😊
Jock is going to be a Stuntman when he grows up So adorable Such a brave little soldier 🥰
Oh yeah. .grab a cup of coffee, and watch the Sheep Game!!What a beautiful day for great drone footage..I believe you live in God's country!! Do keep bringing us along on your day to day chores... Jock is a hoot, I get the biggest laughs from that boy!!
Great vid today Cami. I love Lizzie’s videos as well. She is so calm and just carries on. Thanks for sharing.
In Sweden we say klappa when petting a animal. "I petted the dog" is "Jag klappade hunden". Lots of scottish words are extremely similar to Swedish. I wonder whyyyyyy... ;-D
Haw you! are you trying tae dae me oot a joab? Am the wan that does the translations on this channel, no you, yer a chancer so ye are.😁 Real comedy gold with you trying sort out the bales Cammy. 🤣
Loved this format! And funfact, watching your videos has trained my ear to understand the scottish that supply and develop my main software at work, so good on ya! Mind you, they're from Edinburgh, so their accent is a wee bit softer😅 And extra funfact, in Norway we call it "klappe" for clapping the dog is well, so you have some allies across the north sea!(we also use "bra" in exactly the same way, atleast here on the west coast)
I can’t wait to see a vlog of you and Sandi!
morning Cammy, just as soggy up here in Aberdeenshire still. Now's the time to do all the jobs around the house for your lady. Build up brownie points, you're going to need them x
Cammie you did well with the problem solving...lol the main thing is the sheep got fed and you didn't hurt yourself 😂❤
We love it when our KZhead farmers are honest with us. Cammy and the round bale dropped in a puddle today. Tom Pemberton spilling calf medicine last week. It's all good because it reminds us that we're all human. But tempting the hernia gods, when you have a John Deere nearby? 😮
Cammi you with Jock driving the car, reminds me of me and my dad driving down our drive when I was a kid. Jock is going to make a Great sheep farmer when his older, or a cameraman. Happy Mother's Day to Lizzy and all the other mums 💕 💗
Love this channel !!! Love the cheeky laughter!!! Good on ya!!
Love it when jock gets the camera your Family is wonderful😊 your dogs are well behaved Thank you for sharing 😊
classic Cammi - dropping a roll of bailage off the back of the tractor into the mud
Having watched a number sheep/goat/cattle farming channels this is where social media/youtube has come ‘into its own’ like those Tipsy Bin suppliers in Ireland Also Drones are so helpful in farming Saves so much cost as you say Cammy less petrol/diesel 🏴🏴🏴👍 👍 ❤️❤️
Great video, sheep looking good. Was laughing so much at tractor mistake. 😂
You and me both!
Thanks for bringing us along for your day! Loved it!
Cammy please, bad enough you have a hernia, but if you injure your back you are screwed for life. Love the drone shots and the music and I agree listening to sheep eat or graze is a very soulful experience. Jock's such a rascal... wait for his teenage years!
The bale skit was great entertainment! 😂 Love your work! Love the sheep and the scenery too ❤
I love that I can hear the purr of the Hoof GP in the background!!!
Love catching your video this early morning. Happy daylight savings day
the love you and Lizzie give your sheep even when most farmers would deem somtething a not necessary but you do is always such a blessing to watch. Your sheep are really your family. Such a joy as always to watch how you truly care for them. The kids are growing up the way it used to be years ago and will be well rounded confident adults that will have drive to do what they love. Fresh air, dirt, involved in chores and lots of fun is such a blessing to see. What a boy Spot!! He was so eager and happy to go! Cammy haaa if my husband dropped those bales he would not just be like you with oh well because yup stuff happens. We would have had to run for the hills to escape his anger! Nothing you can do really when things go sideways but get a good giggle out of it. And by gosh it will never happen again now will it. And you saved it so all good at the end of the day. You are the epitome of where there is a will there is a way :-) hugs
Absolutely love watching you guys work as a family , you are such hard workers and I so enjoy seeing Jock getting up to mischief. In Australia we "pat" the dogs My favourite time of night when a Sheep Game vlog pops up 🩵🩵
The scenery was magnificent. I wish I could see it in person. Thank you for the extra long blog. I always love every minute of them. 😊
That was hilarious. The bale in the bog. Love it.
My favorite Sheep Game this year so far. No beeping on Sunday!
I love the way you handle your children, and your life, !!!
Oh dear Cami yur cruisin fur a bruisin so that sense of humour😂 love it
Oh Cammy, I feel your pain. I'm sorry - I laughed so hard at the bale incident. If you don't laugh you just cry. There's nothing worse than when you're by yourself too 🤦🏽♀️ Keep up the hard work!
It was a struggle but you got that bale upright in the end! Well done Cammy!
Stunning scenery
Cami-- label the buttons in the tractor or draw yourself a map of the buttons. You were wonderful......hysterical, but wonderful!
Definitely clapping the dug, working cocker spaniel called Stanley who is clapped not petted or stroked but he is partial to a wee tickle. Diana for the wonder sheep aka Wonder Woman. Baby girl Elizabeth? Jock is one clever wee boy. He has no fear, letting Spot out because he was taught how to let Spot out, wee smart cookie that he is. Happy Mother’s Day to Lizzie & your mum Cammy @thesheepgame hope they are both spoiled. ❤
Definitely loved watching that mess at the end 😂😂😂 All part of Cammy being Cammy and we all love ya
Such a treat to wake up early in Nashville Tennessee, still dark, and seeing a long new vid from The Sheep Game! Must say when you were trying to bully the hay bake top side up, my nurse DNA was saying ‘Ohmigosh…hernia warning!’….🤷♀️😂. Love seeing you and Lizzie and the boys. Jock reminds me of my grandson. They are about same size/body build and same rowdy blonde hair. We also say pet/pat here…..Thanks Cammy! 🙏🏻🫶🏻xx
Beautiful view of the neighboring farms.
I'll be honest, I was just waiting for that bale to fall off the bale lifter again. But when you were trying to flip the bale by hand, I kept saying "Just use the tractor." But then again, I watch a lot of farming videos. Crawford is very good with a tractor.
Yeah he’s the man! I’m more a manual labour type guy 🤣
Of course I watched to the end! It was awesome having a good long look at your day. As always, entertaining and informative; seeing you and your gorgeous family working and enjoying each other's company lifts our hearts to a happy place! I was thankful to see that you are wearing a hernia belt, taking care of yourself until your surgery. I'm in Canada, and we would say, "Pat the dog.", or "Pet the dog.", depending which part of the country you're from. You can say it whatever way you like, we'll still think it's adorable!❤
What beautiful landscape. Cammy, in Australia 🇦🇺 you'd say stroke or pet the dog, not clap. My God Cammy your tractor skills, classic & landing in the mud 🤣🤣🤣. You nearly gave me a hernia watching you move that bale. Well done 🙏❤️
As a Canadian, I have never heard the expression “clap” the dog! Pat the dog, yes, as you say. The other slower motion is stroking the dog.
You should definitely respect Lizzie's patience ❤
I really admire your work Not everything goes as well as you would want things to. You gave me lots of giggles
Aw Cammy you made hard work of those bales but full marks for effort! Great video love seeing all the day to day stuff ❤
Ah cammy that's ur best video yet.....I busted my hole laughing(at u laughing at ursel)when bale came of .....ur an absolute legend......
🤣 it was that or burst into tears! 🤣
❤😂😅😊
Nice light hearted entertainment for Sunday morning.
Well done clammy you got there in the end, jock in wee Angus are amazing as ever ❤
Just beautiful!!!
I can relate to flipping those bales over - last week I thought I was a beast, no problem, but this week apparently not so good.
Its defos " clap the dug" 😂 wee Jock is soo bloody cute. A wee farmer right there👌🐑🩵 xxx
Letting Jock drive is hysterical,go left, no beeping. Lol
Hiya Sheep game team 🐑 Great to see a new video . I'm overstimulated right now ( adhd ) your videos always relax me
I’m glad to hear that!
Me too. Hadn’t realized what a benefit it is to watch till you said this. Sets me right on my day feeling lifted. Sometime people talk about too much media being bad, but videos like this are inspirational and uplifting. I think, if I can accomplish half of what these sheep farmers do in a day, I’m doing ok. Thanks for taking the time Cammy and Lizzy. 😊
Pat the dog here in Canada. Our sheep with no ears was called LaMancha (goat breed with no ears.)
Very exotic for Ayrshire Rebecca 😁
ooh I'm early. Can't wait for the lambing.
Loved the argument with the bale of hay 😂
Thank you for the sky view its Beautiful
Tipsy bin is handy for a lot of jobs good logs storage as well
Yes the tipsy bin is a very good job, you take the meal from the back of the bin first to get the full benefits 👍
That was fun. I wondered why you didn't use the forks - I was relieved to see you worked it out in the end!
Great video Cammy! Beautiful land and scenic!
Spring refills the soul, and you haven't even started lambing yet!
Can’t wait 😁🫣
At least you got the right result with the bale. Unlike Saturday !!
My Dad tried to lift a bale like you tried. Ruptured a disc in his back. He was laid up a month, then had surgery. Not a good thing with Spring work ahead. Better to use the tractor like you did, finally. Very enjoyable video, Cammie.
For the sheep with no ears - Eirlys (it’s a Welsh name - means snowdrop in English, but it sounds quite like Earless)
LOVE you, your Beautiful family & sheep videos…Can’t wait to see you & Sandi Brock’s visit with you!! ❤from downtown Montreal Canada
Feeling your pain with the rain and waterlogged ground here in west cork. Call your twin bearing sheep gemini!
We pet our dogs and clap at hockey games here in Canada. We also use tractors to move bales. No wonder you have a hernia! Love your videos and your sense of humor.
> We 'Pet" our dogs and 'Clap' at hockey games here in Canada. Haha. > And that's the Truth.
Your tractor session was just brilliant
I love how you bring the children with you. I learned about your channel when you were on Sandy Brock I love her channel as well.
Oi oi!! Subtle promotion of the hoof GP merch ... 😂😂 I love watching you, Graham, Sandi and Tara!!
