Cammy is a 33 year old sheep farmer from Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. He currently runs 1000 ewes over seasonal lets and has ambitions of owning his own farm one day. To help him reach that goal he also carries out a lot of contract work as a sheep shearer and pregnancy scanner….. and now apparently an awards host.
He is best known for his social media work as The Sheep Game where he documents his life along with his partner Lizzy and their two boys Jock and Angus. He has grown his YouTube channel to over 330,000 subscribers and after sending and email to Landward asking for a job he managed to get himself a regular spot on the show.
Cammy is a real champion of farming in Scotland and we are delighted to have him on board to present the inaugural Scottish Agriculture awards.
