Most people's jobs don't require them to spend a lot of cash upfront and put in a ton of work without a guaranteed amount in compensation. You've got nerves of steel compared to most of the folks I know. I have so much respect for all your and Lizzie's hard work. The boys are growing so fast!
Cammy , you shouldn’t have to disclose any of your personal financial information with anyone in the world because it’s your business. Don’t ever feel bad and please Do Not Ever let anyone bully you or make you feel like you have to apologize for not talking about it . If you want to throw out rough numbers of what things run that would be enough if it pertains to what you’re trying to put out there info wise . It’s totally ok to keep a lot of things private ❤️. People will still flock to you and Love you just as much. Thanks for being you.
Absolutely your finances should be private and in no way tied to the way you create your content. That is most assuredly not why I watch you. We love seeing your family and learning about sheep some things are to always be private😊
It appears that if you land near the bottom of the list most of people are gone and your lambs will make less. Always great to see the family ! We love being a part of the family. It’s always nice to see the boys and watch them grow and change.
Not always ,sometimes a dealer just needs another pen of sheep to fill a lorry or a farmer who has made a long journey to market just decides to pay over budget rather than waste another day away from the farm having to travel to another sale ,this has certainly happened to me in the past but i have also experienced a poor trade at sale end
I enjoyed the auction and the explanations, and watching you and Lizzie decide together, but my favorite part was when you "took over the driving", the banter and getting the lambs out in the darkness! Long days and hard work all the time! But you stay upbeat and fun, wonderful to see.
So lovely to see you and Lizzy with sweet Angus at the sale. I really enjoy the auctions; just glad it's you and not me! Those big numbers make me queezy😅. One little comment from an old lady: I so respected your rule from the beginning about no swearing, and proud of you for speaking up about it even with other farmers. It seems to have fallen away lately. I'm probably not the only person who would appreciate your care with that again. Thanks for sharing your time and family with us. A new Sheep Game episode always makes my day. 💖
"It's all a risk." That's farming worldwide, Cammie. I remember one year we had the best-ever crop of wheat - and we got hail that absolutely flattened it to the point nothing could be saved the night before we were due to harvest it. Farming's a career where you must be willing to gamble against nature almost every single day.
sometimes part of the money making is to wait till the end of the auction when everyone else has purchased, you job is to get the best price so you day pay was to extra 10 pounds per head you got 1,480 pounds to sit till the end of the auction I think is worth it
🇨🇦 Stopping at 4:44 and wanting to say , I hope you buy the pen of the speckled faced lambs pen #349 just because they’re adorable 😊 Your new lambs looks great Cammie. Love the family day💕
Cammy, thank you for being so transparent. I have a handful of pedigree Shetland sheep that are basically pets, but I dream of someday making a go of it, and your videos have taught me a lot. I love seeing how you've got everything set up, and how you handle the sheep. The auction videos are great, and your videos of wool being graded and processed were amazing. Thanks again from rainy Seattle.
What I really appreciate is the career you left behind knowing the hard life of a farmer, and knowing the value of a man's mental health. You chose wisely in a farming career and a wife and you've been blessed by two healthy sons. You're very wealthy indeed. I'm so happy for you and Lizzy.
I hope you will keep us abreast of these lambs all the way to when you get them up big enough to sell them. Glad you and Lizzy are doing well growing your livestock and your beautiful boys. Thanks for taking us along.
As always enjoyed watching your spectacular beautiful shooting adventures countryside content video and respect those hard working individual people over there and may God bless them all .. great video Sir and your beautiful sharing adventure documentary updated resume countryside as always appreciated, keep it up Sir .. have a wonderful blessing weekend to you and your beautiful family over there .. take care and stay safe .. Merci beaucoup Monsieur
Hi Cammy. Hope you have success at the sale of your lambs at auction. There’s Angus , I think. He looks like Angus. And Lizzy is there with a nice family outing selling sheep.
Thanks for letting us watch the sheep jump off the back of the truck. It gave us a short look at what you bought. (Next time a little longer, please.) (Remember longer is better, we can always fast forward or 2x the speed.) 💖🌞🌵😷
I feel the same way about auctions myself. I can never decide, until it's too late. But usually it's above my price range anyway. I did like those Suffolks.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WITH YOU AT THE AUCTION, IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD ALOT OF FUN!!! ANYWAY, ALL THE VERY BEST WISHES ARE BEING SENT YOUR WAY FROM LITTLE OLD ME IN SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO CANADA
Well done Cammy and Lizzy, you held out well and got some at a price where you might have a chance, great store lambs, I'm not hopeful though of the price of finished lambs holding up this year, we'll see, hope for the best, those were expensive chicken n chips😗
Strong stores are always a numbers game there's so little to be made per lamb. Buying the smaller ones to sell on a rising trade later in the year gives you a better chance of a worthwhile return if you have the winter feed. Or a get out at a small profit if you're unable to get them all the way to fat.
Dairy farmers buying sheep to eat grass in the back end baffles me as an irish spring calving dairy farmer. Im trying to build covers to graze into the back end and get cows out to grass on feb 1st
Love the market videos I think if your down ringside u may fair better as other buyers who have a soft spot for the sheep game may not bid against u as much......then again they might bid on u more😂😂......I think the pen lizzy was bidding on were a more classier looking sheep not saying g urs were bad but hers although dearer might have sold better.......sorry for long comment loved ever minute of ur market video.....Best of luck with ur lambs.......
OMG , I was in sheep all my life and could never see the sense in store prices back then or now . Too much of a risk to see a healthy profit later and it was always the dairy boys pushing up the price as they still have the regular milk cheques coming in so the risk is less for them . Also most of them store lambs will melt as they have only recently been weaned , Your banking on the end of year trade too . Plus no doubt some will die as we all know its a sheeps ambition in life to die
@@TheSheepGame Thanks Cammy,it's a long time since i was in the sheep game so unsure on a lot of thing's,i ended up in the Trucking game aged 21 still doing it now.
QUESTION: Are you worried about them mating or are they all females?? If so are you gonna be buying new males for them too? Love your videos Cammy as always thanks for sharing!! 😊😊
Well, sorry to say that I find animal auctions horrible. No respect for the animals, extremely stressful for Them and just not right at All. Poor animals!
When I’m eating my lamb chops I’ll remember just how expensive it was for the farmer to raise this lamb to market size. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to sheep farming!
I love seeing all the sheep going into the ring and how the bidding goes. I can well understand your caution,especially when young Jock costs so much going to nursery! Great vid.
This was really interesting, I can understand you being nervous to bid, I’d get carried away and pay over the odds! This was a treat to wake up to this morning, thank you ❤
Always a treat to see this. LOVED one of the pens with texel darlings, they were amazing. The Suffolk ones you bagged there looks NICE! Lets see if there is a keeper or two in these batches, you never know.
Is that a normal amount of buyers in the crowd? Do the same people buy most years? Thanks for teaching about this aspect of your business. We have the same problem with rentals here and people over bidding to get land.
Yeah for a store lamb sale it is. breeding sales would be busier. There are several 'dealers' in the crowd who will be buying over 1000 lambs and will have orders from farmers.
It is also true of farmers in Wales. They do not want to disclose what they pay for X Y and Z. Even down to how many sheep do you own. I have heard them say that you dont ask someone how much is in their bank account so dont ask how many sheep do we have.
Don't you feel remorse for your crimes against these innocent creatures? Don't you see that they love life like you and don't want to die? Don't you see how much they are afraid of dying and scream out of fear? Do you want someone to treat you and your family or loved ones like this? If you have an iota of compassion and conscience, stop this dirty work. (Eating meat is a crime
Love watching videos hope you hand over a multi million pound business to jock when he takes over you’ll both make a wonderful Nan and grandad for his kids
Usually if u spook them they jump. U will see some of the farmers swinging their leg as lambs come into ring to make them jump. It shows they have vigour and makes them look good
sometimes you dont get a lot of buyers but some may be dealers buying for a number of people ,so they may buy a lot of sheep getting a small profit per head from the people they are buying for
Cammy, is this your first time BUYING store lambs? I’ve seen other videos where you sold your lambs as store, but I can’t remember any where you’re the buyer… love the video! -Catherine from NYC
That second lot were some nice looking texels. I have a soft spot for texels as I had a sort of “pet” texel tup when I was growing up on my family’s farm in the Netherlands. He was called Jos (Jos the Boss, named after a Dutch racing driver) and I used to joke he was my unicorn, because he had a single horn that looked like it was growing from the top of his head. It was a weird deformity but clearly not genetic as none of his progeny had it.
Hi cammie love your content, Just bought our first batch of suffolk store lambs in, what all would you recommend to give them? drench minerals ect, thanks

Always a pleasure to spend time with you and your beautiful little family (the sheep are great too!).
You won some lovely lambs there Cammy! In a few months they will be plump enough for the auction. Great job!
Love the auctions. Really appreciate learning about the costs behind the business as you're able to share them

Thanks for “taking” me to the auction. Mr.Angus looks a lot like his daddy. Lizzie- beautiful as ever.
Great video Cammy as always and the best of luck with your lambs I hope they do well for you both 👌
Another great video Cammy, I love your enthusiasm and good luck with the lambs.
So good to see your angus again a beautiful boy two beautiful boys !thank you.for sharing your family with us.

Best of luck with those lambs.
Nice lambs. Could you put a date on videos when they were filmed???
I feel the same way about auctions myself. I can never decide, until it's too late. But usually it's above my price range anyway. I did like those Suffolks.
Do you ever buy from the farms you know, so you can cut out the middle man? Or is that frowned upon?
Im here from Hoof GP. new fan my friend . From Las VEGAS NEVADA
love the auction! always something to learn from the way you present it
That was a really good video on buying store lambs, thank you Cammy
Your baby looks just like you how cute
Brilliant as always Cammy 🫶
Thanks Tammy!
Nice one mate
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE WITH YOU AT THE AUCTION, IT REALLY LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD ALOT OF FUN!!!
ANYWAY, ALL THE VERY BEST WISHES ARE BEING SENT YOUR WAY FROM LITTLE OLD ME IN SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO CANADA
I bought the big pen 220 Suffolks from Ayrshire 😁
Nice lambs!
Great video
Great video love watching the auctionsx
Well done Cammy and Lizzy, you held out well and got some at a price where you might have a chance, great store lambs,
I'm not hopeful though of the price of finished lambs holding up this year, we'll see, hope for the best, those were expensive chicken n chips😗
Love the market videos! Angus is beautiful ❤
Exciting. May they gain in weight and resale value.
Great work team, presumably you take all of your own lambs right through and you are just looking for additional lambs due to excess seasonal grass?
Yeah. We sold some store last year but we’ve planted 37 acres of forage rape this year we’re hoping we can finish lambs on!
@@TheSheepGame great work ❤️ and hope they go really well. Have a great weekend team
Are certain breeds just for wool and others meat? Angus name fits his nose. lol so cute.
Strong stores are always a numbers game there's so little to be made per lamb. Buying the smaller ones to sell on a rising trade later in the year gives you a better chance of a worthwhile return if you have the winter feed. Or a get out at a small profit if you're unable to get them all the way to fat.
Dairy farmers buying sheep to eat grass in the back end baffles me as an irish spring calving dairy farmer. Im trying to build covers to graze into the back end and get cows out to grass on feb 1st
Is there a possibility that you would keep any of those if you like the look of them?
Is there a method to the breed selection? Or just preference? I haven’t seen any Suffolk sheep I thought that was a very popular breed.
I love Lamb I have few half legs in Freezer as the Lamb Chop's are too expensive for a tiny bit of meat with inflation price.
No bargain in the store ring this year. The price of fat lmbs is very good .
Love the market videos I think if your down ringside u may fair better as other buyers who have a soft spot for the sheep game may not bid against u as much......then again they might bid on u more😂😂......I think the pen lizzy was bidding on were a more classier looking sheep not saying g urs were bad but hers although dearer might have sold better.......sorry for long comment loved ever minute of ur market video.....Best of luck with ur lambs.......
Thanks. U are right hers were slightly better but we managed to get some within our budget =D
@@TheSheepGameyes 👍👍🙌 now yes 😀
How many "bonus lambs" did you end up with from your accidentally bred lambs?
OMG , I was in sheep all my life and could never see the sense in store prices back then or now . Too much of a risk to see a healthy profit later and it was always the dairy boys pushing up the price as they still have the regular milk cheques coming in so the risk is less for them .

Plus no doubt some will die as we all know its a sheeps ambition in life to die
Where is it?
💕💕💕
Do they still finish lambs on neep's and kale?.You should easy pass the class 2 lorry test😀
Some people do. Thanks
@@TheSheepGame Thanks Cammy,it's a long time since i was in the sheep game so unsure on a lot of thing's,i ended up in the Trucking game aged 21 still doing it now.
I would look at the quality
More than the weight ..
If they are light
So be it ......u can gain weight
But you can't change the quality.
mas kirim blitar iso?
Any chance in the future u can tell us the breeds of each sheep as they sale I get a little confused 😂
Yeah! Most of these were texel cross lambs. I bought Suffolks and Texels 😁
@@TheSheepGame love the channel, BTW
U could pull a few nice ewe lambs out off them cammy best off luck
Shake YT every one post ❤
QUESTION: Are you worried about them mating or are they all females?? If so are you gonna be buying new males for them too? Love your videos Cammy as always thanks for sharing!! 😊😊
What is the breed of sheep you run?
Mostly mules with texel rams
@@TheSheepGame what were the deciding factors in you choosing mules with redwood rams?
0:21 0:21
£26.50????

Fing disgusting, see humans like this and see what happens.

I love seeing all the sheep going into the ring and how the bidding goes. I can well understand your caution,especially when young Jock costs so much going to nursery! Great vid.
The store lamps are a bit cheaper down here at Bentham some were going for £60 to £90 pounds
This was really interesting, I can understand you being nervous to bid, I’d get carried away and pay over the odds!

Thank you Cammie! Just curious why one or two sheep jump so high sometimes. Is it always the same sheep who jump? May be they are just having fun?
Usually if u spook them they jump. U will see some of the farmers swinging their leg as lambs come into ring to make them jump. It shows they have vigour and makes them look good
These are up there with my favourites! I like when you talk numbers ect. How much did these weigh in the end?
sometimes you dont get a lot of buyers but some may be dealers buying for a number of people ,so they may buy a lot of sheep getting a small profit per head from the people they are buying for
texels were 32kg and suffolks 30kgs
Very cool thankyou. How did Lizzy,'s ones she bought last year do? They were purebred right. Have a great weekend
Woo hoo I'm first. Hi ya Cammie and crew. From Illinois usa
Cammy, is this your first time BUYING store lambs? I’ve seen other videos where you sold your lambs as store, but I can’t remember any where you’re the buyer… love the video! -Catherine from NYC

Would you not just take bales out?
Love the lamb family ❤❤!
Glad you got some good lambs. Angus is getting so big!!! And love seeing a bit of Jock at the end.
