| Summary |
It's early winter and, although the weather is getting colder and darker, it's a time of year that brings new life on the farms. In the east of Scotland, Martin's sheds are full of pregnant cows - and there are two expectant mothers he's particularly concerned about. In central Scotland near Loch Lomond, Anne and Bobby must gather in their remaining sheep from the mountains with very little daylight - and when a heavy mist comes down, Anne worries for Bobby's safety on his trial bike. On the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, the weather is fierce when the vet arrives to do an annual blood test on Sandy's Highland cattle in a force 11 storm. On the mainland in the west, Sybil nearly gets carried away when she and George head to market to buy rams to breed with their ewes. Martin's cows go into labour - and while one birth goes well, the other goes badly wrong and Martin is forced to take drastic measures to save the calf's life |
