Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb opens up on 'stressful' day
Just two weeks ago, Clarkson’s Farm’s Kaleb Cooper was proudly discussing the 21 dairy cows he co-owns with a friend in view of his two million Instagram followers.
However, the Amazon Prime star has since shared a devastating update about those cows, three of which have contracted Bovine Tuberculosis, which is an infectious disease of cattle caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis.
Kaleb revealed he had endured a “stressful day” and looked on the verge of tears as he broke the news.
“Now today’s a bit stressful,” he told fans on his Instagram story.
“Today I’ve just found out the place where I had my dairy cows - the 21 dairy cows that I bought - has got three reactors to TB.
He took a deep breath, looking visibly emotional, before continuing: “I don’t really know how to describe the emotion.
“I mean, I know it’s not all my cows and I don’t know how he feels, but it’s hard. It’s not good.
“Three reactors, so therefore we’ve got to test again in two months' time,” he confirmed grimly. “That’s three cows we’ve lost that are milking.”
