Episode 3

Le deireadh an Earraich oirnn air an lot, tha cùisean mar a shaoileadh tu air leth trang agus chan eil Sweeny na thàmh. Tha cùisean a’ dol gu math le na h-uain, agus tha naidheachd eile ann a tha a’ cur gàire mhòr air aodann Sweeny. Son a’ chiad uair bho bha a sheanair na chroitear tha laogh ùr air a bhreith air an lot.

Àm gu math prìseil. A bharrachd air an sin, fhad ‘s a tha e a’ sireadh chaoraich a tha a dhìth air a’ mhòintich, tha an cù Bud a’ sealltainn cho feumail ‘s a tha e nuair a tha e a’ lorg caora ann an èiginn; agus air ais air a’ chroit tha Sweeny a’ cur fàilte air clann bho Sgoil a’ Bhac agus iad a’ toirt sùil timcheall agus ga chuideachadh a’ biathadh nam beathaichean.

Tha e cuideachd a’ gabhail cothrom sgil ùr ionnsachadh agus e a’ feuchainn ri na caoraich aige a’ lomadh le inneal bearraidh - ach chan eil e buileach cho furasta agus a tha e an dùil!

It’s late spring on the croft and as always things are really busy with plenty to keep Sweeny on the go. The lambs are doing well, and there is more happy news with Sweeny welcoming the first calf to be born on the croft since his grandfather was a crofter - very special times!

While searching for some missing sheep out on the moor Bud proves his worth, coming to the rescue of a sheep in distress. Back on the croft, Sweeny also hosts a visit by pupils from ‘Sgoil a’ Bhac’ as they help him with feeding time.

Sweeny also finds time to learn another new skill as he tries his hand at clipping sheep with electric shears – and it’s not quite as easy as he thinks!
