ABOUT ME

I’m 34 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 YouTube 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 and one incredible girl, Bonnie. You will see them all on this channel!

Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

Love that wee love talk to Lizzie(god ide be lost without you) truly Scottish❤❤😂

The TePari is a surprise to me, a non-sheep guy. Sorting automatically into 3 groups by weights while you and Lizzie keep the flow going. Saves you from hiring more help, and moves things rapidly. What a great machine.

Glad you’re getting a good price. That should ease some of the financial stress. A little stress helps propel you, but when it causes bodily injury it is too much. You need a break, Cammy.

For me a lamb is worth a gamble to feed if you can nett around £140 a head for them, Feed on and cash the bigger cheque in 4-6 weeks time. when grass runs low later in autumn who could sell the remainder as stores and still do well. Every gambler knows the secret to surviving is knowing when to hold or fold! Great content keep up the great work with the videos.

It was fun watching the lambs walking (trotting at the speed you used) through the foot bath. I do enjoy the leaps as well, but this looks more effective.

[CottonMitts]

Depends on your grass situation doesn’t it? If it looks like your going to run short and price is good, move a few on 😊❤

Congrats at the market!!! Nice to see you smiling leaving the market! Thanks for sharing! Love from the USA!

[cindybrodie]

Lizzie and Bonnie look fantastic and beautiful. Well done, family!

So glad to see your decision making. So difficult getting it right. I’m not sure if it was a busy day at market or not, but if it was busier maybe you wouldn’t have achieved the prices you did. So many things to consider, especially the feed costs and uncertainty of the weather and grass growth. I’m no farmer obviously, but if, at the end of the day, this gives you a little more time for yourself, Lizzie and the family, then it’s an investment in the uncertainty of the winter months to come. You have had a difficult year, along with so many farmers, and you always have the time for others. I hope this will mean a bit less pressure for now. Rest up … if that’s not a stupid thing to say to a busy farmer. God bless you all.

I love watching your TePari set up. It's so clever. Some buzz xxx

[SpaceMonkeyNZ]

Just got your hat arrive here in the south of NZ. Loving it, got a bit of grief turning up to the cow shed in a Sheepgame hat, especially since it’s pink but I’ve got big shoulders. Love the channel guys, I hope to buy you a pint one day,

[TifJones-ps]

your last question: would you hold them to sell them - sit down with a spread sheet and calculator - price to hold them - feed, rent, your time etc and compare to selling them with the current prices - did the prices go up last year around Christmas something like 16 weeks away, what were those prices to work against from last year - you will be going away scanning around Christmas and Lizzie doing that on her own with 3 kids in tow - is it better to get them away, take the money and get the pressure off

[callumscott]

another great video great insight into the market and the selling process good decision and good prices hope your autumn winter season is good . keep the great work up on farm and on vlogs

[TifJones-ps]

you need to start taging lambs earlier with their mother so you know who is who and which ewe is producing the larger lambs faster (yes single get bigger faster but most of those should have already be gone to market) scan those that get joint ill and they are never kept as breeding stock - it is harder as you lamb outside and with you working off farm so much and Lizzie with three kids to take care of there is only so many hours in a day - if you are paying to lease land you have to get the very best out of it

[vwvw]

Hope you've bought a farm! Worth a couple spots. Would sell all stores asap then figure out if it's cost effective creep feeding the slow growth lambs to finish faster because at their current rate of gain on summer grass they'll take 2 months to finish. As grass quality's going down so will the average gain per day on your lambs, might not be ready until Christmas on grass only. You don't want to stress your fields as you need the grass for your ewes in lamb. Too bad your Te Pari can't talk, it might put in it's 2 cents on your dilemma it's so clever.

Nice to see Lizzy wearing the baby, and having the kids always close by to whatever you are doing. Well done!

[marciafleury]

Great video, great experiment! At the very least, it gives answers to your curiosity. Its a bit like Las Vegas, isnt it? Gambling on the market! Fun watch for "unstressed" me! I heard a quote once that we need stress in our life bc thats what keeps us from becoming a noodle! It keeps us engaged in problem solving & planning. Love to you & family!❤
