ABOUT ME
I’m 32 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 (something I still do) 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 850 breeding ewes.
I shore over 19,000 sheep this season in the UK and have my own shearing run which lets you see many different farms in the summer months.
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 RUclips and decided I could have a go and now here we are!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.
In Canada we say “geyser” like rhymes with “aye- zer”. And a geezer is a rough old man.🦌💌❤️🐑
🇺🇸👍
Lol geezer is an old man here too in Atlanta GA haha ....and we say geyser well like guy zer.......that's how we pronounce it....
That was so cool! That barn is ridiculous. Is it my imagination, or are those sheep really calm? And quiet! They have their own little paved walkway down the side of the road? I can't stop laughing! They look like commuters on the subway, heading to the office for the day. Hysterical! Breed really does make a difference, doesn't it?
I think those were the calmest sheep I've ever seen. Are they feeding them hemp?
That sheep shed. With those beams, it's like you're drinking beer in a church! And I have NO problem with that at all. 😂
In Texas we call the steam gisers -pronounced long I.
Here a geezer is an old man that’s crabby. Lol
Another great video of travels for me. Glad to see you relax. I wouldn’t show Lizzie, she thinks you’re working ! 😂
A geezer is an old fella here in New Zealand too.
OK, you are shearing my favorite sheep breed from my favorite country! That’s such an incredible sheep shed! I wouldn’t mind living there myself. Thank you for posting this and sharing your skills!
Loved this video!
I now have 3 favourite vloggers!
I started with Sandi, moved on to Graeme then you!
I really like how each of you gives so much appreciation and respect to the others!
That was so frikin cool! Excuse my language…but it really was 😆. Oh and 🍻 cheers Cammy.
Thanks for taking us to Iceland. It is beautiful. That barn 😲 is incredible! Sandi Brock is going to want that sheep shed.
Hello from Rotorua New Zealand, also home to geysers, boiling mud pools, hot lakes, sulfur and lovely geothermal hot pools.
Neat! I only heard of your area from a book by Ngaio Marsh, Colour Scheme. Great writing, made me feel like I was thete.
Sóóóó happy that Sandi mentioned about your chanel several years ago !! Have been a fan ever since , best regards from Holland !! Lizzy , good luck with these last few weeks !!
I came on with Sandi's reccomendation also! Love watching
She has done so much for my channel she’s amazing!
The sheep shed is uh... How much is rent? Lol You lads are having such a great time in Iceland! I really want to go
Move in ready isn't it? Better than most people's houses. Tidier too!
👍👍😁You always make me smile Cammy. Good to see you taking good care of your mate near the scary geyser and water. ❤️ Hope Lizzy is doing well.
I think his mate needs a teddy bear or a plushy sheep for when he feels scared. lol
Wow! Beautiful scenery!! Great job Cammy!!
Hi Cammy, great day of relaxing for both of you. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤
nice looking the shed.
Cammy: Look at this beautiful view! You can see a quaint village!
Stewart: 🥶
Have loved every second of your journey…those sheds are beautiful..no wonder the sheep look so calm and cool
Came over from Hoof GP channel. These are amazing videos almost makes me want to move out of the city and onto a farm. Cheers from Toronto Canada
Thanks for the tour of the sites--would love to visit Iceland!
Hey Cammy thanks for your wake up call.. another wonderful fabulous upload.. gorgeous capturing filming.. great job guys.. Merci Mtl Cdn
Short and sweet, thanks for another one Cammy. The lagoon would be good to soothe tired muscles after a day of shearing,- plus the more beer consumed, the less you smell the sulphur!!😂 . What type of wood was used in the shed, those beams looked impressive?!. Thanks again Cammy.👍🏻🐑
Watching this while the Icelandic volcano has erupted yesterday.
Thanks for sharing the views of this beautiful land.
We were in Iceland a year ago August. Beautiful country, magnificent water falls and you can't beat the Blue Lagoon thermal spa!!! Awesome trip!!
A hot spring after shearing! Sounds awesome!
Oh Cammie, this trip was deja u because I had just finished watching Jessica Brock, Sandi's daughter, going to Iceland on vacation before she started fall term at university. Wow, my mind was blown away that 2 of my favorite channels visited that fine country. One for pleasure and one for business. Hope you bring back life long memories! 😊
A beautiful country
Wonderful video. If it wasn’t so costly to travel there I would put it on my bucket list.
Thanks for taking us on an amazing trip!!
the wool of those sheep is funny, it looks like fur, greetings from Uruguay.
That shed looks like a church!❤❤❤
Epic banter, amazing scenery and the sheep were ok too ;) . Thanks for sharing this with us.
Beautiful scenery thank you
Thank you for a little bit of everything! Skål! 🍻
Really enjoyed your Icelandic experience, interesting landscape there some of it not unlike the island off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada where my mother was born. My grandparents never had to cut grass on their property as it seemed every fisherman on that island had a couple or more sheep. They would roam across the island, we would hear them in the morning before we got out of bed and there would be the evidence that yes indeed we had visitors. My grandmother had 2 spinning wheels, so I imagine in the winter she was busy spinning yarn and knitting...that memory was 50 years ago. I recently went to that island to take my niece there and to visit my grandparents and uncles headstones, the cemetery was waist high with dead grass, no sheep in sight. Later we did see a few but belonging to a farmer in his fields no roaming these days. OMG Yes nothing like a good soak in a hot tub, my cousin's wife is also an old nurse. Don't think there is a nurse our age who doesn't have back issues. We were the lifts before the electric ceiling lifts they have today. Looks like a nice place over there, but a bit on the "chilly" side. People seemed lovely.
Those thermal pools!! Amazing 💕💕💕
Beauty scenery!! I have always wanted to go to Iceland! I have really enjoyed this series in Iceland.
Hi Cammy... what an awesome building heck want to live in that sheep shed lol. When you sad geezer we call old men this old geezers hahaha reminded me of that. another great video my friend!!! take care , cindy 🐑
That sheep shed is nicer than my house! Great video Cammy you are hilarious 😂
A geeser! I New Zealand we pronounce it geyser - guy - zer. Great vid. 🇳🇿
And we can tell a kiwi from an aus by the affirmative ‘yiss’.
Love being taken out with you and Stuart. Thank you xxx
The sheep shearing at this time of year is really a big thing in Iceland. I just saw it on the news yesterday. And I'm in Florida, so if it's on here, it's big.
Amazing landscape Cammy. Thank you ❤️🇦🇺🏴
Great setup in that barn, nice place to spend winter.
I love your channel. Sometimes I have to rewind bc of your accent, but you'd probably say the same about mine (NYC)
very cold looking
I do fancy a dip in that water and a cold drink or two... Nice after a long days graft I bet! Thanks for the laughs they're always welcome.
Beautiful scenery Cammy 👌 😍
Knitters must love the yarn that comes from those long strands.
Hi cammy… This is Jack, From “ TheYoungsheepFarmers” Chanel… My other chanel got banned so ive made this new one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Jack!
Thanks for the series in Iceland! It's fun to see how they do it in the country of origin for the breed. I would have liked to see more about how they handle rams there. The shots in passing made them seem so calm (as did the ewes.) My Icelandic rams try to hit me every time I go in a pen with them, especially when they're with the ewes. Maybe they get wilder after a several generations in Minnesota?
On an earlier video in Iceland, Cammy shows some shorn rams. With no fleece the rams don't recognize each other so they started sparring and head bashing. 😃💜
Cackled at the peace sign pose in front of that waterfall 😂😂
Cammy is so adorable
Having not been to either country, I've heard that Iceland is green and Greenland is covered in ice.
Bang on 🤣
Always love your wide variety in music👍You guys are so funny😂
I love the sheep game !
Great video!
Will you talk about the traditional wool sweaters that so many are wearing in these videos?
ooh, so much colder than when I was there last month it seems. Glad you got to do some of the golden tour loop. We did Geysir and Gulfoss as well. Fantastic to see in person. We froze our butts off at the falls however and didn't go down closer like you did. We wimped out lol.
Are they sending the sheep out in the cold without their coats? They must be tough. 😀
Nope, they stay in the barn all winter
@@rebeccaburrow7199 ah!👍🏻
Great video Cammy some times youns boys are having 👌👌
Loved the way you videoed your hand going for the pint...like you were Jaws, capturing your prey. Hilarious!
That sheep shed looks like some churches I've been in! It was beautiful.
Loved the geyser moment, too! I've seen pictures of them exploding into the air, but never the moment just before. Future career as a videographer of natural phenomena - National Geographic will be beating down your door! ahhaha
My goodness what a nice barn. Is the sheep game that good in Iceland that they can cover such extravagant lodging?
How hot was water? Any idea what kind of minerals are in the water? Thanks for sharing your days.
In the US a gheezer is an old man. A “geyser” guy-ser is the shoot water in the air place.
Stu looked like a Jack Russell posing at those waterfalls😂
Is it inappropriate to ask how they can afford such state of the art barns to winter house their sheep? I follow several Icelandic and Norwegian farms and the barns are always spectacular. I can’t figure out how they have access to such amazing functional technology for pen systems. Maybe it’s all the money they save not having to feed them or manage them during the grazing season? I am loving this Icelandic adventure. Keep it coming and show more of these amazing barns. I need inspiration
Cracking sheds bet you and Stuart left a oil slick in the pool ha ha
Is there a problem selling the wool in Iceland -simiiar to GB and Canada?
What is the wool like? It was gorgeous when they were moving. I do feel for them that they go from that toasty fleece to being sheared to the skin, especially this time of the year. Depending on when we could get shearer, I sheared anywhere from March and into April. April was cutting it close to lambing. Wyoming winters can be brutal with temperatures getting down to minus 20 to 40 degrees and then winds can freeze your eyes closed. I am curious, do shearers have the vehicle breakdowns that cause the sheep owners curse them, when they have a crew of volunteers and the sheep penned and hungry?
Chuckle brothers go to Iceland 😅
geyser(guyser) lol Those sheds are very nice, give you any ideas for home. Are the Icelandic sheep shorter than the ones you have?
Except for Stuart's escaped ram in the last episode, have you found Icelandish sheep cooperative? They look really "chill"/relaxed...
Why do them now the cold weather is here ?
Because they're being housed for the winter. They won't be outside at all and they would be very sweaty and increase the humidity in the shed if left with all their wool.
This time of year they only have a few daylight hours and weather is cold so they are housed inside.
Did winter just start in Iceland? I'm in Alaska and we are definitely in winter today it's-20 degrees Fahrenheit. The waterfall is beautiful and the geysers were interesting.
When's the tup sales videos coming out
"Showing your .... complexity there"
Cammi, what do they do with all that luxurious wool? Surely they get more for it than what you get for yours. It’s beautiful wool to work with. Why do they shear so late in a cold climate?
The ideal time to shear for a long winter housing, and the ideal time to get the best quality wool off the sheep when the growth of the fleece is not stressed by the demands of pregnancy. Important to have a shed with no draughts at lower level.
I miss the opening jingle. Any chance you will get it back?
For some reason I kept getting copy write strikes on it. 🥹
What is the name of that thermal bath? Fantastic.
You’ve probably already answered this but why would they shear the sheep in the dead of winter? Also, what do they do with the wool? Is there a wool board like Britain? I know Icelandic wool yarn has been a perineal favorite for knitters so I’m wondering if the yarn companies buy it.
A geezer is an mean old man..
Cheeky! Lol
What month do they sheer the sheep there
Work or holiday? 😊x
Those poor sheep are going to freeze its cold and you’re taking their wool coat off!!
How would Icelandic sheep do in Scotland?
I’ll hopefully find out when I get a few! 😁
Leg of horse?
One more thing. Those poor shearers seem pretty young. It can't be a long career because it looks like murder on your back. Why hasn't anyone come up with something less stressful, more 'ergonomic', like a stand or some firm of back support?
Americans call those things that shoots hot water up. guy-zers. We call old men gee-zers. lol
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑👍👏🏼👏🏼
The only sheep you will find Icelan is Icelandic sheep. Meat might be a different story. There are laws against importing sheep to Iceland. Due to diseases, many countries make it extremely difficult and time consuming to bring in “foreign” animals. America uses Southram AI Station in Iceland to import straws of semen to keep flocks genetically diversified.
It’s pronounced Guy ser
I really wish horses weren’t in the human food chain, it’s not needed. They’re such sentient creatures and the slaughter pipeline is horrendous for these beautiful animals.
It could certainly be improved, but we have to do something with unworkable and unneeded animals; hay is 30 usd a bale now, and Id bet ranchers are finding more abandoned horses than ever in the US.
Its a hard problem.
I think the Icelandic pronunciation is gay syr. I hope you managed to come home bearing gifts of Icelandic knitwear for the family.
Ack! That "background" music is horrible! I'd much rather hear the sheep and the shears or even the wind. Please, no. I don't have any trouble with accents, but I can hardly make out what anyone is saying with that noise. I love everything else though.
Appreciate the feedback Liz 👍
