    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.

    I’ll never forget when people kept parking in the yard of my brother in law’s Sheep farm in Wales. My nephew backed his tractor right up to the back of the car so they couldn’t back out. When they returned from their ‘walk’ it was so amusing watching them! The farm is in the middle of nowhere. I feel your pain.

    One of the farmers in my village puts up pictures of sheep mauled by dogs on his gates…not nice to see, but it gets the message across loud and clear. My dog has grown up walking the lanes next to livestock fields and doesn’t even blink at them, but he still goes on the lead every time, at the end of the day he’s an animal and they’re all unpredictable 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Yup, same. All it takes is for them to me too close to the threshold one day and not listen to you. We don't have too many sheep where I am, but lots of horses. I've worked really hard on desensitisation and my dog doesn't bat an eyelid now but she still gets put in a calm sit and clipped on the lead when one goes by, There is no way I could live with myself if anything happened

    When I used to trail ride my horses, invariably an unleashed dog would run straight at them and the owner would say "It's okay ..my dog likes horses." Mine were more upset about bikes being where they didn't belong, but a friend had a Thoroughbred that hated dogs. She would respond that maybe their dog liked horses but her horse didn't like dogs and could easily kick their dog into their next life!

    Cammie, can you get a story onto local news about the impact of dogs on sheep? Does your region have a local news channel? I've got to think that if more people simply knew/understood the negative impact of their dogs on the livelihoods of shepherd-families that they'd be more careful.

People who are already dismissive like the man from yesterday, or apologize but don't seem to "get it" will do the same thing again and again because they don't think about anyone else but themselves and/or people closest to them. I wish it wasn't that way, but from what I've seen, people are mostly oblivious to how their seemingly "innocent ignorance" could cause problems for others.

    Unfortunately, the general public are rude everywhere. I live in the US and our neighbors decided to shoot fireworks over my horse pasture. Another time we looked out to see a group of people throwing stones at the horses to watch them run. Needless to say, we eventually had to reconfigure our pasture away from the road. We lost grazing, but the horses were safer. I’m sorry for your lamb losses.

    Good for you Cammie. It is mind blowing to me that a dog owner is STUPID enough to believe their dog is that well trained that it will come to them when the dog is in hunting mode. We had 2 collie lurchers and we used to go Into a field where sheep and lambs were and even though our dogs knew they weren't allowed to chase (and they never did )but it was OUR responsibility to keep our dogs on a lead and we ALWAYS had our dogs on a lead while we were walking our dogs there

    • @thisoldnurse1521
      @thisoldnurse1521 Год назад +3

      Actually Cammie’s dogs have good recall. My dog and people in my group who show our breed dog have good recall. It is one of the very and most important things to keep your dog safe in the event day your leash breaks, or he escapes your fenced yard… obedience is part of CKC or AKC and classes are given. That said, we do follow the rules where we live, all dogs on leash. When out hunting with your dog in the woods you get your dogs to come back with the duck. We don’t use our retrievers for hunting purposes but others do. If hiking dogs can be off lead ( if you have well mannered dogs ), and trust your dog to stay on the trails with you and not run away. She never run across farm fields as much of the farm fields here in 🇨🇦 are fenced however we do have Wild Critters wolves, coyotes and foxes that will get over or under a fence. Generally here on the east coast of Canada, it’s Dairy Cattle and Beef Cattle with a few fields of sheep. The local Sheep Farm next to me, he keeps the sheep in his barn most of the winter and in the spring has them out in his fenced field, of course with lambing and all and in summer into fall he has a grazing pasture on some little island. I used to walk on leash, my old Golden Retriever Abby RIP, by there every so often as she was entertained with the animals, she had countless sheep stuffed animals as well as alpaca and llama stuffies. I miss Abby RIP you know sometimes you get a real good dog and when they’re gone..

    • @thisoldnurse1521
      @thisoldnurse1521 Год назад +3

      Recall is for your dog’s safety. Always taught inn Obedience Classes one of the most if not the most, because even if your dog was on leash and the lease broke and he ran into traffic!!! I had a leash break in class one day. Does happen. So if this older man had good recall with his dog, he could’ve kept them from Cammie’s field. There are dogs that will NEVER have got recall. Those definitely need to be on leash for the dog’s protection (traffic) and for protection from some other animal (skunk, porcupine, dog) or a child afraid of dogs for example

      Why should I not be able to take my grandson for a walk in the countryside or in the woods because some inconsiderate dog owner thinks they have priority over said areas to walk their dogs off leash.
      My Grandson is scared of dogs, any dog coming towards him will cause him to panic and scream. I’m sick to death of owners saying “it’s ok, he won’t hurt you”. EVERY dog that approaches him is a threat to him.
      If I was to walk around in public, with a loaded weapon, cocked and ready, I would be perceived as a danger and would be arrested. Same principle should apply to an unrestrained dog that’s out in public.

    I live in Somerset, a local farmer had laminated pictures of his sheep that had been savaged by dogs and put them up on the stiles on the footpaths. I would never let my dog off the lead where there are livestock but it certainly made me think and I’d happily challenge anyone who ignored their warnings. That was a few years ago and I still think about the damage that was done to the poor sheep, people just don’t think their lovely pet would inflict such damage. Anyway, I love your videos!❤️

      i use shock collers for just this instance and the dogs are trained on to respond to the lowest level of shock which is a small tingle when applied to a human and they have never ever chased a sheep or animal, or ran off a cliff chasing an animal ans they cannot ignore the coller.
      dogs need training people, they also need treating like dogs and not your children,
      irresponsible dog ownership is not acceptable

    Happy Birthday, Cammy!! I had a real problem with snowmobilers coming through the grain field, up to my sheep barn and then around the tree line and to the opposite side of the barn, effectively running my ewes from one side of the barn to the other, bashing into each other. A few aborted their lambs. I took photos of an aborted lamb made signs and posted them right under the no trespassing signs, where these people were accessing the property. Maybe you should ask if you can post a photo of your dead lamb and the dog that killed it at the local pet food store. When these idiots then took another route, running my horses and they aborted foals, I got the police involved. They were nice enough to park a defunct police car at the end of my driveway. Best snowmobile repellent, ever!

      2) Sheep guarddog in nearby area, free roaming dogs on paddock are at risk of injury or worse.

    You have the patience of a Saint mate. 👏👏 The SNP’s ‘Right to Roam’ Act 2003 has caused other knock on problems. I’m a Deer Stalker. Many of my contracts are in Scottish Forrests. Many forrest blocks are owned by different landlords but use the same tracks and are next to one another and mostly don’t have any boundary signs, fences or gates. The Act makes it trespass if you’re in a vehicle, whereby the police can impound your vehicle. If you’ve a gun in the car they can arrest you for trespassing with a firearm. I get maps from the forrestry Co but they are usually inaccurate. Boundaries rarely run in straight lines and even though I did map reading in military, so am expert, it is impossible to clearly identify your ground from a neighbours. Often there’s no mobile signal for a GPS ref either. Furthermore, you have to drive onto neighbours ground just to be able to turn the car round.
    So I decided to call Police Scotland to explain the situation and ask if officers would allow trespass where the trespasser had reasonable grounds to be in the area. The Wildlife Cop did not want to discuss the law or my predicament he only wanted to know how I transported my rifle. 🤷🏻‍♂️ He was trying to find out when I was on the land so I’m pretty sure he was intending a stop and search. So so told him the rifle is in the car safe box and cut the conversation short.
    I then tried the Forrestry Co and they said because of R to R it was not worth investing in boundary structures because the public smash fences down climbing them and leave gates open or steal em. Another own goal for the Silly Numpty Party🫤

    Look at Jock, he’s so proud of the work he’s doing! He’ll be a good adult with parents like you and Lizzy. Cammie, you should’ve put your finger up on top of the rail and give it a whack with that BIG whammer! Spray some of that iodine on it and let it dry at least! That would have fixed it! Indian Health system here in the states is quite like yours in Scotland. I am Native American (Cherokee). I have a primary care physician with scheduled visits but can also do a walk-in visit if needed. Our hospitals have emergency room care and urgent care too. If we need special services such as an endocrinologist, as I do, the primary care physician will write an order and they send me to an endocrinologist outside of the Indian Health System. The money is provided by treaties with the US government for them taking our land and other atrocities.
    No, you’re not going mad. People in the USA have totally lost it and our laws are upside down too. I pray every day for us and people all over the world.

    Here in the US I've had problems with neighbors riding their bikes on my property and shooting fireworks that scared my livestock. People are just so disconnected from rural life and where their food comes from that they have no respect for livestock or personal property. There are recreational parks for a reason. If you want to play with your ball, go there. Not on somebody's private property. I'm also an April baby. Go us! Oh, and get him Lizzy. lol

    Couple of tricks to fencing that I've learned over the years. Firstly, fetch an old milk crate to stand on, it increases the force you can hit with.
    Secondly, if you're holding a stake for someone else to hit, left hand if you're right-handed (vice versa if you're a leftie) and put a glove on. That way, when the person with the hammer misses, it ain't your master hand that gets hit, and the glove keeps splinters out of your hand.
    Thirdly, get hold of fencing pliers. Bloody useful, for all manner of stuff.

    I had to watch the last segment twice to understand it. As I see the situation, there is a great difference between private and public land, it would be understandable if I, a foreigner didn't know how it works and expected it to work like it does in country. But locals must know that these are private fields belonging to a sheep farmer. It would be similar to me coming to their yard with my kids to climb their apple trees or to swing on their swing.
    I'd expect farmers to have signs "private land" everywhere.
    I understand being upset that local government doesn't create public places to walk and to play games. But it has nothing to do with farmers who should be respected.
    And the dog situation - you handled it marvelously. Absolutely properly. Mad respects.
    (I dislike dogs in general, unless they are working dogs. The reason is, they are nice, dogs are great, but their owners are too often do absolutely stupid and disrespectful things, being a nuisance to others, sometimes a danger, often not being responsible and doing their dogs bad. And, of course, my neighbours own two small dogs, which are so unruly that I even had to call the police to deal with that issue, more than once. Individually - plenty of good boots and girls, often a disaster brigade with their owners. Creating disasters and minor unpleasantries.)

    American here - apparently my people came from Scotland way back when, but I am thinking I might need to get the Hoof GP to translate what Cammie's saying. Got here through Sandi Brock's channel , btw, but have no idea how I found her. Now somehow I am subscribed to a Scottish Hoof Trimmer who works on cows, a Canadian Sheep farmer, and now a Scottish sheep farmer who I can barely understand, but know pronounces Diego incorrectly and watches too many Will Ferrell movies.

    Second at the end just WOW! They had nerve to play on a field not there’s and with a bunch of sheep and lambs. Here in the US in many states you could be shot by crazy owners for that lol. It is trespassing at a minimum but when it comes to people’s livestock people take that even more serious. Just like the dog that got the lambs the other day, plenty of farmers over here would have dispatched the dog if they caught it, once it kills it will hunt for more.

At my small farm i have 2 Maremmano-Abruzzese Sheepdog, they stay with the flock all the time, very effective to protect form other dogs , wild animals. They work well with your dogs.

I grew up with horses and worked with them most of my life and it always blows my mind that I still have to tell people it's not ok to ride their horses around in the hay fields! As well as the jerks that dump trash and things like about 100 junk tires that someone apparently didn't want to have to pay to get rid of. Honestly you're being considerably nicer than I would be in your shoes! Not saying you should stoop to their level but.... sometimes people deserve to be yelled at!
