Series 5: Episode 7



It’s late summer in Bute, and Emma and Ewan preparing for the Bute Agricultural Show, the highlight of the island’s agricultural calendar. Later, after a health scare with top sheepdog Joffe, Emma and Ewan compete at the Scottish National Sheepdog Trials in Thurso.\n\nMeanwhile, in Stranraer, Kayleigh pushes ahead with plans for the new dairy business. After weeks without rain, the grazing fields are stripped dry, and the family are forced to dip into their winter silage to feed the herd.\n\nIn Fife, Mike makes a snap decision to travel to Northern Ireland in search of a new pedigree Suffolk tup. He has heard that Northern Irish sellers aren’t making the trip to the Scottish sales this year due to complications with Brexit. When he comes away empty-handed, the pressure is on to buy a tup back in Scotland – but prices are rocketing and the competition is fierce.
