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 RU-vid 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.

Hi Cammie, Lizzie, Joch & Angus....Cammie & Lizzie my husband lost a friend a few years ago from skin cancer and it was awful. He was 48yrs old. Please. Please use suncream, every time you don't you are risking yourself a shorter life. Sorry Cammie to be so blunt. But we all treasure you, your family and your vlogs. 👍👍👍🌞🌞🌞♥️💙💙💙

Lizzie is incredible. Even before this latest feat! Unreal!!!

@rhonamallard6918 Год назад

"Click Go the Shears" is a traditional Australian bush ballad. The song details a day's work for a sheep shearer in the days before machine shears.

@allantheshearer Год назад

Except most commercial shearers blades would never click. They have for many years put a leather knocker between the handles to stop the clicking as it jars the hand.

Lizzie is a champion in her own right. Shearer, sheep handler, housewife, wife, and the best of all MOM. Here’s to you Lizzie thanks for being a leader of women all across the world. But don’t let this go to your head as we know you’re a down to earth woman with your family!! 🎉❤

@susantortorici3409 Год назад

Amazing shearing by Allan. He makes it look easy and the sheep look great. As always, Lizzie is a champion. Cammy you need to treasure that woman. You are fortunate to have each other. Great video. Hello Cammy's mum! Thank you for raising such a wonderful person as Cammy.

@jenniffiercostello5673 Год назад

There is something very satisfying about listening and watching Allan shear. I love Lizzie and your family. ❤

@lindaarmstrongjackman9788 Год назад

👍👍That was great! It was fascinating to see Allan shearing. My hand was hurting just watching. Another great day of shearing. Lizzy is a legend. ❤️ to little Angus and Joy. Your Mom gets to spend time caring for your darling boys.

@margaretcolquhoun4111 Год назад

The first time I used blade shears, you'd have sworn a blindfolded 6-year-old had been let loose with a cutthroat razor. I cringe when I think of that poor old ewe. It really makes me appreciate the great job Alan did. And thanks to you, Cammy, for the variety of content you have brought to us armchair farmers on RU-vid.

I learned to blade shear when I was about 12yrs old then machine shear at 15 but still like to blade a few every year , Go Lizzie she’s a star 😊

I started with blades too and still use them for dagging and small jobs... only drawback is blisters if I haven't used them for a while

@waadfrelle Год назад

I love the quiet of blade shearing, just the swoosh swoosh of the blades. Great video, very nice watch. Lizzy is an absolute power woman. You are right: they don't make many of those anymore.

@gabrieleortiz5041 Год назад

It is relaxing to watch the blade shearing and hear the sound of each cut. Good to see! Welcome, Allan! 😊 Lizzie is amazing, and bless your mom for helping out with the boys. Great teamwork. 👍🏼

Allan, thank you for demonstrating the "old ways" so well! She looked beautiful, and you handled her so well. She was quite relaxed and only wiggled a little bit.

@allantheshearer Год назад

Thank you. She's only young so we'll forgive her for being a little fidgety.

@brendahamblin4559 Год назад

Love the blade shearing. The first time I saw a competition blade shearing event at FHF, I was shocked by the quiet, but I think it’s less stressful to the sheep.

@michellesas8975 Год назад

You are a very blessed man Cammy. Awesome job Lizzie.

@akantiia Год назад

Fantastic job on the rams by Lizzie

@lindalumae Год назад

The hand-shearing is very serene and relaxing to watch. And I love the wavy pattern it leaves in the wool. It goes at a slower pace which is probably a con to most people but I love slowing down a bit and just taking your time.

@richardl7161 Год назад

That brings back memories! As a teenager I used to 'catch and carry' for the shearers on our local farm. Back then it was all hand shearing and the farmers in the area used to help each other to gather and shear, so there might be six or so shearers to keep fed with sheep. They didn't shear on the floor as everybody does now, we used to rig up a long bench about 18 inches high, so each sheep had to be lifted up onto the bench by the catcher. The sheep were sheared on the bench so the shearers didn't have to bend like you have to shearing on the floor. Hard work, but happy days.

@PeteThecurious100 Год назад

Very enjoyable. Quiet special getting a close look at blade shearing and sunburnt bloke-ess shearing all those rams.

@rhonamallard6918 Год назад

40 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting a 80yo gentleman who in his younger days was a shearer and used those hand shears.

I have to admit I’m developing a girl crush on Lizzie. She needs her own channel! I’d love to hear her thoughts and see her day to day balance of being a mom and being a champion sheerer. I’d love to hear her talk more about her pedigree sheep. I’d love to hear how she puts up with you 😂. The new Queen Lizzie!

@marcus3457 Год назад

Great video, and thanks for the recommendation. I am subscribed to Allan's channel now, looking forward to learning more about blade shearing.

Awesome video Cammy!!😊 It takes a lot for ALL of you to be sheep shearers!💪 The strength & endurance involved is a credit to all but Allan sure does take it to another level!! Lizzie is amazing, she is an inspiration! 💗 Your gift is your humor, kindness & humbleness to give others credit where credit is due! 🙌Thanks for sharing! Kim & Brent 🇺🇸

@helenel4126 Год назад

Shearing with shears is very peaceful. It was amusing to see the sheep being shorn look around to watch! Lizzie is amazing! But I'm afraid she has a terrible sunburn. I hope it doesn't hurt. Put some aloe lotion on it, and take an aspirin; those will help.

@pattyannbeaven9287 Год назад

@vwvw4 Год назад

I used to blade shear my sheep (not in as beautifully skilled fashion as Allan) until I had 60, then I invested in electric shears. Blade shearing is a hard go when you have a cold Spring into Summer and the lanolin's still close to the skin. Really enjoy your vlogs, Cammy, especially meeting your friends, wish you did them more often. How is Meg doing? I'm sure you meant to say, my woman sheared our rams. Love your Mom! Apply Aloe Vera to that sunburn.

@Gems1981 Год назад

Be interesting to see how the sheep get on over the summer being done the 2 different ways

@juliemoses1909 Год назад

My dad used to use the hand shears to shape the wool for show, cutting a little square across the back to make the sheep appear more broad-backed.

@cherylcampbell7495 Год назад

Lizzie, we love you 💕💕

@irishis3 Год назад

The action on the hand shears is very efficient. It seems to require less force to close the blade than regular shears. Very cool

@PeggyStentzCasey Год назад

Seems like there is more danger of cutting the sheep using shears, but Allan was really good!!! And Lizzy is a wonder, of course!!! Pleased to meet you, Cammy's Mom!!!

@dragonfarm2texas518 Год назад

I used to hand shear Angora goats and llamas up until a few years ago. Switched to electric and was the same speed as with hand shearing. Retired now but that was some hard hot days.

@mzthorn Год назад

I grew up with sheep in California, and the only local sheerer still used the manual sheers. Fortunately, thee flock was made of up of random rescues with a meat sheep ram, so only a handful needed regular sheering.

Clippers was the way my grandad sheared in the 40s and 50s up until he died in 1965. Must have been back breaking for him, he was the only shepherd on a farm in Hampshire.

@jillcrowe2626 Год назад

So, when Lizzie's done shearing, does she go home, pop a load of laundry into the washer, fill the basin and wash some dishes, while starting a brisket for supper? And you running behind her trying to keep up?

@dazzaoutandabout4870 Год назад

Think I married the wrong women. I can't get my misses to pen the rams up. Though, merino rams are a touch more difficult.

HUBBA HUBBA, Alan. Real men use shears! Looking good. ....and Lizzy - where do I start? Amazing!! Please take care about sunburn, you two - skin cancer's a real downer.

@caseys9310 Год назад

I was on edge the whole time allan was hand shearing that sheep. I'd be scared to death with those giant shears that I'd cut a hunk out of the poor critter. I guess that's why it's best left to the professionals

@abigailmarton7636 Год назад

Do you shear sheep before lambing or after?

@allantheshearer Год назад

Depends on management types. In NZ many farmers shear twice per year as pre lamb shearing leads to better survival of lambs and higher lamb weights and shearing in the summer for fly prevention.
