Zayne's growing fame has also seen an unlikely sidekick thrust in to the spotlight - his pet lamb Johnny.
The ever-cool and patient Johnny has a permanent place on the front seat of Zayne's car, and can often be seen spruiking hats and merchandise from businesses across the region
"Dad and I were moving a mob of sheep and he was lagging behind a fair bit so I picked him up so he wouldn't fall behind," Zayne said.
"I made a video of him sitting in the front seat of the ute - the video went viral and it's just followed on from there."
Zayne acknowledged it had been a tough year for a lot of people and said he was happy his videos could give people a reason to smile.
"If I can put a smile on someone's face and maybe brighten their day it's all been worthwhile," he said.
"It's surreal knowing people are waiting for my videos every day.
