There’ve been sleepless nights on Diddly Squat Farm as Jeremy Clarkson had to say goodbye to one of his beloved animals on the farm.
In previous episodes of the popular Prime Video series Clarkson’s Farm, we’ve seen the ex-Top Gear presenter breakdown in tears when taking one of his animals to the abattoir.
And, it doesn’t look like it’s getting any easier for the new farmer.
The animal lover Jeremy doesn’t take his job lightly and has discussed his feelings on saying goodbye to the livestock after rearing them.
The 62-year-old presenter wrote in The Sunday Times about his “gut-wrenching” experience over the last few weeks has he deliberated the gate of his pigs after leaving the farm.
He wrote: “I can never sleep properly the night before they go, and all the way to the slaughterhouse I have what feels like a hot cricket ball in the pit of my stomach.”

“And then when it’s finally time to say goodbye, I always become a little bit unmanly.” “I know that I’m trying to be a farmer and that this is what farmers do. And I know I will enjoy the bacon and ham and pork chops that result.
“But it’s not easy, taking seven happy, healthy pigs from their woodland home to their deaths. Especially as pig prices are currently so low I’ll almost certainly end up making a loss on the transaction.”
It didn’t end there for Clarkson as one of his female pigs accidentally killed ten of her babies after giving birth, the Mirror reported.
The accident led Clarkson to nickname the pig, Clumsy.
