Viewfield Romneys!!
In this one we are with Kate, Marcus and Maggie Maxwell at Viewfield Farm Romneys. What a pleasure this was to record with banter from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.
They shear their ewes twice a year and the lambs are shorn once.
I'd never been shown how to shear a Romney lamb until today! A great experience for me.

This was all organised by Robbie Hislop so check out his KZitem channel for future shearing videos.

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 (cue the X-Factor style monologue) 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 can now 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 ultra sound scanner and have been building up my run since then.
I watched a few farm vlogs on KZitem and decided I could have a go and now here we are!
