Tha D貌mhnall MacSuain no 鈥淪weeny鈥� mar as fhe脿rr a dh鈥� aithnichear e air ais an d猫idh d脿 bhliadhna le na naidheachdan as 霉ire bhon lot ann an Nis 鈥檚 sinn ga leantainn tro mh矛osan doirbh a鈥� gheamhraidh. Tha d霉bhlain a鈥� nochdadh gach bliadhna, ach chan eil stad a鈥� tighinn air obair bunaiteach na lot 鈥� ge bith d猫 an se貌rsa aimsir a bhios a鈥� nochdadh.

Tha Sweeny a鈥� faighinn tarbh bhon 鈥榙epartment鈥� airson a鈥� chiad uair agus tha e a鈥� siubhal chun tuathanas-ginidh aig Cnoc nan G脿idheal gus bruidhinn ris a鈥� cheannard, John Cowan, mu dheidhinn mar a tha am pr貌iseas air fad ag obrachadh.

Le uallach mu na pr矛sean a tha croitearan a鈥� faighinn airson an cuid chl貌imh, tha e a鈥� gabhail an cothrom tadhal air Ionad na Cl貌imhe Bhreatannaich ann an Siorrachd Rois gus ionnsachadh bho cheannard gn矛omh na companaidh d猫 na h-adhbharan a th鈥� air c霉laibh seo agus c貌 ris a tha an t-slighe air adhart coltach.

Tha e an c貌mhnaidh a鈥� lorg d貌ighean airson leasachaidhean 霉ra a dh猫anamh agus le sin na inntinn, tha e a鈥� c貌mhradh ri luchd-briodaidh nam Buffalo, Nikki agus Ollie Lake, aig an tuathanas aca ann am Moireibh gus ionnsachadh mu na beathaichean socair seo agus na tha iad a鈥� tabhainn.

Agus tha e air a dh貌igh glan leis an d猫ideag 霉r, ghleansach a tha a鈥� tighinn, a chuidicheas gu m貌r le obair l脿itheil na lot!

Donald Macsween, or 鈥淪weeny鈥�, as he is best known, is back after two years, with the latest news from his croft in Ness as we follow him through the difficult winter months. Every year poses its own challenges but the daily work on the croft never stops - whatever the weather.

Sweeny gets a 'department' bull for the first time and travels to the stud farm at Knocknagael to speak to manager John Cowan about how the whole process works.

Frustrated at the prices crofters get for their wool, he takes the opportunity to visit British Wool's depot in Ross-shire to speak to the company's Head of Operations to find out the reasons behind this, and what the future holds for the product.

Always looking at ways to diversify, he speaks to buffalo breeders Nikki and Ollie Lake at their farm in Moray to learn about the docile animals and what they have to offer. And he gets very excited as a shiny new toy arrives to help him greatly on the croft!
