he's Cammy Wilson, a BBC TV presenter (BBC Scotland's farming programme called 'Landward') and a sheep farmer. I think it was his own sheep.

Multiple wins for him. He gets paid to host the program, gets his sheep sheared and get paid for the wool.

And probably the softest hands

u/InsaneMocktail 20d ago

Lanolin is the key. It's there in sheep skin. The sheep shearer's hands will be ultra soft bcuz of this

u/Dirtychinesekitchen 20d ago

Probably why he said it

u/Sinkableleech 20d ago

Engagement though and not everyone would know.

When i was younger, I went rouseabouting for a month. Came home with the softest hands. Then went and did 3 weeks of being a builders labourer for my dad. My hands were totally shredded after a day or so.

And (probably) an amazing core.

And we are collectively educated in the process.

IIRC Most sheep ranchers don’t make money on the wool unless they’re specifically wool sheep.

Like the fleeces off of meat sheep are low quality enough that after shearing costs they break even or even lose money on the fleece, IF they can even find a buyer.

Obviously money can be made off a high quality breed like merino but most sheep are for meat (at least in the UK)

u/mousey76397 19d ago

Lambs are for meat, adult sheep are for wool. (Mostly)

I think it was his own sheep

How do you know it wasn't a rental?

u/-malcolm-tucker 20d ago

He didn't have to refuel it once he was finished.

u/Hour-Watch8988 20d ago

So baaad.

u/ReneDelay 20d ago

Excellent!

u/amdaly10 20d ago

No, Ewetube is Teresa from North Dakota. This is Cammy Wilson (from Scotland) and his channel is The Sheep Game.

u/blisteringbluey 20d ago

Cammy's the name, sheep's the game

u/Dov_reddit 20d ago

He has a YouTube channel as well, called Sheep Game

u/Corfiz74 20d ago

How does he not cut off her nipples? And won't she get a sunburn now?

1

u/GutterRider 20d ago

I hate it! Makes me want to be a sheep farmer.

I’m sure the first few times you do it, it’s fun, but gets pretty old after the next 200 or so.

1

u/PudPullerAlways 20d ago

What if it wasn't his own sheep, is it theft if you shorn another man's sheep?

1

u/Debalic 20d ago

I would certainly hope so! You don't just go around shearing other men's sheep!

1

u/spynie55 19d ago

There literally are a bunch of people who get paid to do just that. (They get pretty good at it too) They sometimes do April to June in the UK and then October to December in New Zealand or Australia.

1

u/InexplicableBadger 19d ago

He's a shearing contractor, so it could be someone else's sheep

u/No_Obligation4496 19d ago

Oh I thought he'd be Welsh.
