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.
Is there somewhere that I can follow the improvements in the farm he has bought Cammy?
On instagram Colin. Search for @thefarmingside
Great vid!
Having watches Sean on This Farming Life,I’m speechless with admiration for his work ethic and drive.If there’s any justice in the world he’ll do well and I hope ,be very happy.
Take my hat off to Sean and his family, honest nice,hard working people. I’ve just watched the episode in which he lost Tara, I feel for you mate, losing my dogs was bad enough but when you work with them every day and you have such a strong bond it must be so much worse, I admit I cried watching it, don’t be afraid to show your love for your animals, they love you back. All the best for the future, you deserve it.
Great to see a young man with such drive and determination. There is no doubt he will make a massive success of it. Having that degree of enthusiasm, coupled with his work ethic, experience and knowledge he will do a great job of it.
Great to see Sean Cursiter striking out! Best of luck to you chap - you're hard worker and that should pay dividends!
Fascinating! Such a different place from anywhere I know. Terrain and land management are so different.
Great to see Sean again. Lots of love to him and his family.
Wonderful to see how Sean is getting along. IT will be an added joy when you and Lizzy buy your first farm. What a relief that will be for you to have your own land all together and home and barns all near!
Great to hear how Sean is getting on cant wait to hear more. Great show. 👍
Cool! Always liked Sean. Nice to see he’s doing so well. He’ll have wisdom to share when you buy your first farm.
He’ll have a lot of wisdom by the time that happens 😁
Loved to hear from Sean, especially to pick up some of those things that go into making land farmable. Very informative and interesting. That said, I'd listen to the two of them talking bout nearly anything I think 😊 lovely turn of phrase and accent
Always nice to see young people starting out and making it. Congratulations to him. Hope Lizzy, Jock and baby are doing fine. Not long to Mr. Jock, one year Birthday, big boy.
Well remembered Lesa!! Less than a month now!
@@TheSheepGame Time flies when someone else is changing the diapers. My kids' first birthdays took ten years to come around! Feels like Jock was just born the other day. Amazing!
Some fun, a new video. I was running out of videos to rewatch Cammy. Always a pleasure to see The Viking.
Yeah i’ve been slacking! Back on it now!
@@TheSheepGame No worries, your backlog is impeccable. Plus I’ve been catching up with the shearing competition lives on your Facebook.
👍👍 All the best to Sean and his family on their farm. Such a lot of work! Looking forward to your further visits. 😁❤️
Well done Sean 👏 we're still trying to get fences sorted after 17 years 😅. Always playing catch up!
It's a big choice getting a farm, and buying is just the start. As you mentioned getting a run down farm to how you want it is an ongoing project.
That is great. More power to that chap. He is not afraid to take a chance. 💪💪
Lovely to see a young lad making a go of it through hard work. Great attitude. Well done Cammie.
loved the catch up with your pal 'The Viking' great episode well done to the both of you and your families!!!!
Congratulations Sean (bit late but never mind) I wish you every success and progress on your own land - glad your Dad and Uncle are supporting you too. Well done everyone !
What a treat to see a new video, and this is wonderful to see how Shaun is coming along. Keep it up, your doing great!
Sorry for the delay Bob! Hopefully back on track now!
How interesting to hear this. I live in Florida, but I’ve been to Scotland a few times and went to Orkney twice, and went over to the Hebrides a couple of times. I just love that part of the world. I look forward to following Cammie’s progress and also your friend on Orkney.
Family first, then farm, then videos. You're doing it all in the right order :)
Hey Cammy! Thanks to all your inspiring videos I decided to learn to shear our Whitefaced Woodland sheep this year!! Was aiming to learn enough to have a go at one or two - ended up enjoying the work and shearing the majority of our flock of 40!! Big challenge, but we'll worth it!! Thanks from a hill farmer in North Yorkshire 🐏🐏🐏
Legend! Well done!
Total congratulations to Sean on his Farm purchase and in turn grateful thanks to his Father and Uncle for supporting him with this endeavour. Hopefully the poor condition it is clearly in was reflected in the purchase price as the capital investment to drag things back to "normal" because that already has and will continue to be a major financial drain on the business.
I wish you the very best for the future young man because I think you deserve it.
Thanks Cammy for this catch-up with Sean. I met him and his better half briefly at the Royal Highland Show this year. It is great that they have got a farm and a massive project.
Your turn next.
The Viking!!! Good to see the farm up and running, the sheep look good and they're keeping him on his toes 😁. Thanks for the video Cammy!
Such a hard worker the Viking is, and his sister too! Best of good fortune to them both and to you, Lizzie, wee Jock, and the bun in the oven!
Really good to see Sean & Emma doing well on the new farm. Thanks for the update Cammy & hopefully we'll see Sean & Emma on your channel again soon. 😀
Thanks for the catch up Cammy, and of course Sean! It's great to see and hear from someone who is trying to get started , for himself, in this difficult industry. He is very much aware that he wouldn't have been able to do as much without the help from his family, but doesn't take this for granted. He knew that if he didn't go for the farm when it became available, it could be a good few years before cheques would be made payable to him rather than his father for the selling of sheep you've bred!. Good luck to you Sean!( Next will be a wife and wains!!😂) Cammy , we know you actually have a " day job ", plus a family, plus extras, - there are only 24hours in a day!!😂, so we get to watch something when we get to watch something. Thank you (- hope Lizzie and wee Jock are well?) 👍🏻🐑❤
Legend thank u Tracey. We’re all great here!
True! Once a man gets a farm he needs a girl! 😂👍
Great stuff Seam, keep up the great work, Thanks Cam for showing Sean's new farm and the wonderful island of Orkney....
Now there’s a young man with drive and ambition that really deserves to succeed.
What an AWSOME video. I saw things I will never see in real life. The land is gorgeous and the sheep and cows seem happy. ♥️
That was great to hear how Sean has been getting on with his new farm.
I just love Sean’s accent. I switched on the subtitles and it was hilarious to see how it handled the accent (clue: it didn’t 🤣)
Computer-generated subtitles are iffy at the best of times, never mind when faced with a “non-standard” dialect like Sean’s.
I guessed as much about the computer generated subtitles. I can understand Sean well, I had a Scottish mother. I’ve been waiting for a Sheep Game video just to see how the subtitles handled the Scottish accent so having Sean there as well was even better, plenty to chuckle at.
Greetings from Calgary, Alberta. It does not appear Orkney is getting drought and extreme heat like the rest of Europe. God Bless to Shaun yourself, and your families
In Orkney we have not had more than 3 dry days together all Summer. Most of the time around 15C. Peaked on day at 24C. It was too hot.
At first I thought YOU had bought a farm! Congratulations to Sean! So happy to see a video from you..I imagine having young Jock, a flock of your own, and shearing not only keeps you busy, but wears you out! Family (& your flock) definitely come before RUclips! ❤️ (Even though we miss you!)
I love watching shearing-a video of that, even with no commentary-would be entertaining enough for me!
How’s Lizzie doing? Wee Jock? Do you plan to find out if Jock will be a big brother to a boy or a girl? If so, will you tell your Sheep Fans? ❤️ So excited for you.
Much love to you all from South Carolina, 🇺🇸❤️🐑
Thanks! Yeah we will be having another boy in december! We’re all doing great thanks!
Great to see Sean getting started on the new farm.
This is the time to do it...whilst he is young and enthusiastic. He will be successful without doubt.
Wow, living in Texas as I do, it’s amazing to see someone wearing a jacket in August. I forget just how much farther north y’all really are. Great video, and I’m getting better at understanding the accents!
I love watch this channel!!! I always love the scenery. Farming is difficult, great to see young people stepping up and giving it a go.
Brilliant. Thumbs up everyone 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good on you Sean. Glad to see you're following your dream.
Farm visits sound fun! Hope your family is doing amazing. Stay well.
I could listen to The Viking all day. Thanks Cammy xx
Great video. So interesting to see all that goes in to repairing the land and moving forward on it.
Any length of vedio is great. Is very enjoyable to see your friends. I for one would enjoy seeing vedios that have all the bloopers. Love seeing the shearing competitions. Have fun with wee Jock and enjoy the time with Lizzy before the new one is here. Hugs from Washington state . USA
Great stuff, love Seans work ethic
Congratulations Sean on your farm purchase 👍🇨🇦
Good to see you Cammy" I was getting withdrawal symptoms. Sean’s doing good! Love to Lizzie and Jock (birthday soon) and Lizzie’s bump. Looking forward to more frequent blogging . Regards from the Cambuslang emigrant.
Good luck Sean! Underestimating the amount of work seems common. Thanks for sharing your story.
No worries for me on not getting out enough content. Sometimes I say "oh I wish I could see a video from Cammy". But then I say "oh yeah, it's shearing season". Great interview skills, Cammy.
Thanks so much! 😁
From the title, I thought you and Lizzie had bought a farm!😅(🙏 One day! Soon!) Yeah, I thought you hadn't been posting because you were engaged in negotiations.
It will be such a sweet day for us all when you have your own farm🤗🤗🙌🥳🍾🥂
We bought a ten acre farm that was run down and “underestimating the amount of work needed” is the greatest understatement that could possibly be made! Good luck to ye
love watching you and Lizzie working and just a all around culture of your country. very little sheep farming here in north Louisiana here in the U,S.A. God bless
Woo! Sheep Game vid!
Now to comment while watching the long-form agricultural ads that seem to think I own a farm :P
🤣 thanks. They pay the bills 🤣
@@TheSheepGame 😊 no worries mate
Love this video.. I look forward to see the future progress with farm
Wow! Sean is doing great on that Orkney hill farm. Congratulations to Sean. I was wondering if it was raining or trying to snow ... but I've almost lost my ear for Sean's accent = need to hear more from Sean!
He's done a lot in just six months!
Great to see him going well, it is one of the harder industries to get started in for sure!
Lovely vlog what grafters you too are you both deserve success
So nice to see the Viking on your channel again he's such a character
Did a motorbike trip shetland and orkney in may 👌👌as a ex hill farmer im glad to see these island farms being kept going in stead of dieing away ...brilliant ...ps loved shetland and orkney ...
He’s livin the dream , fair play to him 💪🇮🇪
Really enjoyed this video Cammy! Glad to hear about the Viking!
Very enjoyable interview! I look forward to hearing more as he progresses!
Well done to the viking, doing a grand job on his new farm
Good to see Shaun getting on
Great video Cammy and well done Sean 👌👌
What an excellent video! You are very good at interviewing and the Viking did a good job answering. Sean is so humble in giving credit to help of his family, and I'm sure it's very valuable, but he should get credit for being such a hard worker and having the plan. I hope he has tremendous success!
But as always the sheep and the beautiful scenery steal the show! Absolutely breathtaking! How do you get anything done? I'd have a hard time not just sitting and trying to soak it all in!
Absolutely brilliant look forward to the next update TV producers should pick this up
It is interesting to hear about a new/old farm and its beginnings/needs. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Donna!
That was great Cammy, thanks.
The very best of luck with your new farm I know your will make a great job of it true time Stephen in Ireland
Was so good to meet you in the shearing tent at the Dounby show on Thursday! That's me just watched this video meaning I've caught you up and seen every single video you've put on RUclips! What am I going to do now! Loved them all! Keep it up I can't wait for the next one already! Next time you're up you'll have to stop by and see my little flock. 😊
Was great to meet u and thanks for being so committed 😁!!
@@TheSheepGame Best channel om RUclips by far! 😃
Orkney needs some young farmers with vision, all the best I am sure with hard work you will do well.
My goodness having another farm with what they already have!!! Work, work, work indeed.
Brilliant job Cammy.
Great seeing an update on the Viking!
That's great to see Sean pushing on. 👌👌👌. Your pink hoodies seems to be a good seller's 😜😜
He's a great talker
great video! I don't think I could stand the cold summer in Orkney - they are some tough people up there. Stay well, love all of your videos.
I know this is random, but I LOVE the blue-checked jacket you wore in this video!! Love all your videos, too!!
Thank you! It’s a wool jacket from Swandri!
Beautiful farm the land is so fresh and green.
I could listen to the Viking,s voice all day long 😊
Good video Cammy Sean is a real inspiration 👍
love it when you go to orkney thats where my fore fathers hailed from!
Oh cool, I saw him on This Farming Life on BBC just yesterday 🙂
Good to see the Viking and thanks for the video
Brilliant video with the Viking good too c u both xx
American here, had to rewatch a couple times to get through his accent XD Awesome video as always!
Jesus Seán will have the whole island taken over soon 😄 well done Sean, working hard to make your dreams come true. Great video as always Cammy. You know the perfect questions to ask and don't mind sharing the camera. 🐑
Almost 75 thousand subscribers! Congratulations 🎉
It’s crazy! Thanks!
Great video Cammy! 👍
Hope you got the copy of I book I sent back in July (hopefully got the mailing address right) and Hope you’re enjoying it. Looking forward to the next vlog. All the best 😊
Agh! I got excited because I know you are saving for your own land too.
Goodluck Sean I’m sure will survive x
Congratulations Colin looking great
Added the Te Pari crush to your opening, eh? 😁 Still missing the supporters at the end though 😕. So nice that you got to go to Orkney and chat with Sean. Wee bit of a soft morning though.
Sorry i’ve done the last couple on my phone while on the move and I didn’t have graphics saved! Should be back to normal now i’m finished shearing👍
First time viewer. Hooked. Great insight to farm life.
Big fire on the hill in April will do it the world of good! 😃
My Aussie brain needed the subtitles for this one 😂 interesting stuff!
He’s buying another farm cos that’s a bloody good idea, hats off to u 4 the hard yard ahead, thought all the highland islands were only crafter titles, maybe I’m wrong cheers
Orkney is a big farming island with some of the best ground in Scotland. Just a long winter to contend with so it's better suited to cattle
@@TheSheepGame didn’t know about the cattle, did think u had to take a Croft on lease to get any land, looking forward to ur progress, cheers.
Hardly know what was said but man I man the land is beautiful!
