Samhradh
Season 6 Episode 3 of 3
Donald Macsween, aka Sweeny, is expecting more calves than ever to be born, but unforeseen problems lie ahead. With the cost of items like fertiliser rising constantly, he decides to revive an old tradition by collecting seaweed from the nearby beach to take back to spread on his croft. He visits a research farm outside Edinburgh to find out if seaweed can be fed to his cows, and also sees the chambers where methane levels from cows are measured. After some terrible setbacks, Sweeny goes to the lamb sales in Dingwall
