Shearing with a Golden Shears finalist!! - NORTHUMBERLAND PART 3 - SHEEP SHEARING 2020

Time for more mAn power! In this video I introduce our new shearer and show you some footage from another great shed. This video is slightly shorter than normal but I wanted the next shed to be it’s own video because I got some cracking drone footage.

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!

Thanks for watching my videos and please subscribe if you want to see more in future.
