Kaleb Cooper fumes ‘I f***ing hate it’ as he’s forced to clear up major farming mishap
Kaleb Cooper once again took to his Instagram account to share his dislike for sheep after being called out to save a flock of them by the roadside.
The Diddly Squat Farm manager has made his opinions of sheep clearly known in the past – noting that they aren’t his favoured part of the job.
Today, he took to his Instagram account to once again express his disdain towards the animals after being called out to rescue some.
Sharing a video on his story, he zoomed in and out of the sheep stood on the roadside, trapped and unable to make it back to safety.
In the background, the star can be heard fuming: “I f***ing hate sheep. I don’t know why I am bothering, they’re not even my sheep!”
His rooted feelings towards sheep were made clear during his charity single, I Can’t Stand Sheep, which explored loneliness in the farming industry.
The proceedings from the song went to the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI), based in Botley, Oxfordshire.
Speaking about his single, Cooper noted: “Never did I think I’d be saying these words, that I’m releasing a record.
“When you listen to it, you’ll realise why I didn’t ever think it was possible – my singing voice isn’t a match for my farming skills by any stretch.
“As a community, farmers are only too aware of how pressurised the industry has become, the farming way of life can feel lonely at times.
“I wanted to make sure that if people are struggling they have somewhere to reach out to.”
Cooper’s love-hate relationship with sheep also stems from the bizarre decisions that Clarkson has made in the past when it came to looking after the animal.
Across their Amazon Prime series, fans have seen first-hand how much the presenter has previously struggled with sheep farming, from failed attempts at keeping them in a barn, to dealing with their weeping sores and stillbirths.
After the maintenance became too much, Clarkson eventually gave up and handed them over to a local shepherd, which came at a cost.
However, he soon noticed the high prices of lambs following his own £27 purchase and decided to investigate the market – bringing a herd of the animal back onto his own farm.
Cooper and Clarkson’s partner and co-star Lisa Hogan questioned his decision after the heartache they had previously suffered, but the former Top Gear star didn’t care.

He continued to explain that although there is a downside to mixing EasyCare sheep with cows in a field, he believes he has outsmarted Cooper with the “nugget of gold” discovery.
“I’m certain Kaleb doesn’t know this. So when the sheep move on from their field and he puts the shorthorns in there, I can pull an incredulous face and wonder out loud how he can call himself a farmer if he didn’t know that.
“It’ll be my first-ever farming win,” he concluded.
