SHEARING 1000 SHEEP - NORTHUMBERLAND part 4 - Road to 10k - SHEEP SHEARING 2020

In this video the team and I tackle 1000 sheep in one big mob!!

We’re still Sheep Shearing in Northumberland and making good progress!!

I forgot to put my tally in here but i did 336 this day. Not a big day but the sheep were hard to shear with a lot not having much rise. This hill we were shearing on was pretty bare a month ago with the mini drought we had so ewes had a bit of a check but it’s lush now!!

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks

ABOUT ME

I’m 30 years old and I’m a sheep farmer from Ayrshire in South West Scotland. That’s why I have such a strong accent!! I was born and raised in sheep with my dad being a shepherd on an Ayrshire farm.

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.

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 keep my hand in. From there it escalated quickly from my first 4 sheep in my mum’s garden to now running around 600 ewes.

I shear over 10,000 sheep a season in UK and I also travel to Norway for shearing in March and September.

A few years ago I bought myself a sheep scanner and have been building up my run since then so I have a good income stream in summer and winter.

I watched a few farm vlogs on YouTube and decided I could have a go and now here we are!
