Thanks to Neil ( NR Fell) or coming up and dipping my sheep. Neil covers all of Scotland and Northern England and has other operators in Wales and South of England.
This system he has developed takes so much stress out the job for farmer and the sheep.
Hope you enjoy,

ABOUT ME
I’m 33 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 RU-vid 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. You will see them all on this channel!
Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.

@Axqu7227 10 месяцев назад

As a non-farmer, that dipper looks like something out of a nightmare/ one of my personal worst fears, but that’s way more humane than letting them suffer and die of preventable disease and better than creating resistances. I’m glad you show the unpleasant things too because I like knowing what goes into making the food we eat.

At least In the US a Dip, is used for flea and tick prevention! Which can still lead to serious illness, complications and death. I personally am not a sheep header nor have I seen this type of dipping machine, but I would think there is a manual drain, in which can quickly drain the dip bath. Also fun fact but sheep are natural swimmers. So a little dunk under dip wouldn’t be any more serious then us fully dunking our heads into a pool. Edited for a spelling correction!

There is no animal agriculture without cruelty! Meat eaters just thinks about their tummies.. they don’t care that those animals were artificially impregnated, whole their life’s they just serve to ppl , live stressful life & in the end they end up in slaughter house .. so they can have another profit from them.. & so you ppl can eat them .. Stop the torture! Go vegan!

@cher1894 10 месяцев назад

First time seeing this equipment in action. Compared to the normal way of dipping. This is much easier & it appears the sheep are not too stressed by it. A win win scenario from what I can see. Thanks Cammy for showing us & cracking looking rams & sheep, especially your home bred boy. 👍

@RoadkillbunnyUK 10 месяцев назад

I’m surprised how calm the sheep actually are, I was expecting them to freak out a bit or at least be unsettled in the ‘drying’ pen but the sheep just took it in their stride. That shows that while looks can deceive it is actually an extremely humane system.

@TheSheepGame 10 месяцев назад

Great way to look at it and this system is the best there is! 😁

@HootMaRoot 10 месяцев назад

I have never seen sheep so calm being dipped. I used to help some the sheep farmers in the early 90s. And can tell you they didn't like dropping off the trapdoor into the dip and when swimming round being pushed under the dip. They made plenty of noise until they got to the steps to get out but once they got out they would calm right down again

Great video, Cammie! Working from dawn to dusk. We appreciate your time spent sharing your life with us.

He's dipping to prevent sheep scab. Scab is a reaction to mites, they irritate and damage the skin causing oozing sores and chronic irritation. Not sure if that was what you were asking, if it helps, 👍 if I've butted in, apologies.

It also kills any other parasites that are skin based such as lice, ticks etc. The injection kills internal and external parasites but it sounds like it’s increasingly ineffective at either.

Dipping is such an overlooked part of ovine management. Scab is an increasing problem, dipping also helps manage the tick burden too. A summer dip 2 or 3 weeks after clipping and then a pre tupping dip would be my inclination. You just have to be aware of withdrawal periods of fat lambs.

@Oxyacantha 7 месяцев назад

Fascinating video. I have to say, one of the most disgusting things I've ever done to myself was volunteering to help a disabled man with terminal cancer T&T his lambs. His sheep were supposed to be a 'therapeutic mini-farm'. The reason I say 'disgusting' is because he did not dip any of his sheep, and apparently hadn't in years. They were seriously infested with ticks and who knows what else. His sheep hadn't been sheared in... who knows how long. The fleece was rotting off of them and dragging on the ground behind. The only positive thing I can say about the situation was that he did have the lambs T&T'ed. It's nice to see sheep cared for properly in this video. Every livestock animal has it's own specific needs and care habits that should be understood.

The cage can also be powered by tractor hydraulics, should the generator fail, and there is also an electric winch as a third fail safe method of raising the cage. If a total catastrophe occurs, the tank can be drained from the bottom, taking a few seconds to lower it below their heads, says Mr Fell." - From an interview in "Farmers Guardian" a couple years ago.

Personally, I wouldn't say that being forced into an inescapable metal cage, then being completely submerged and surfaced - four times - and suddenly let go, takes so much stress from the sheep. If humans went through it they would know what was going to happen, but these lovely sheep (and yes, I am Welsh so I do like seeing sheep on the hills) do not have any idea they are about the be drowned in dip for a few seconds - let alone having it done three more times.. I know it needs to be done, but it is in no way anything other than utterly terrifying for the poor things.

They do seem a LOT calmer this way than the old way. No bawling, no kicking. Scab is truly awful. I've seen sheep scratch themselves to bleeding before with it. Glad you have dipped them. Definitely would pay that man what he is worth!!! His equipment is far better than the old way.
