Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper held back tears on Sunday as he revealed devastating blow affecting one of his personal business projects.
The farmer, 24, has previously discussed the 21 dairy cows he co-owns with a friend on Instagram.
He has now updated his followers on those cows, three of which have contracted Bovine Tuberculosis, which is an infectious disease of cattle caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis.
Kaleb admitted in a video: ‘Now today’s a bit stressful. Today I’ve just found out the place where I have my dairy cows – the 21 cows that I bought – has got three reactors to TB.’
‘I don’t really know how to describe the emotion. I know I mean it’s not all my cows and I don’t know how he [the other owner] feels – but it’s hard.’

He continued: ‘It’s not good. Three reactors, so, therefore, we’ve got to test again in two months’ time. That’s three cows we’ve lost that are milking.’
The sad news comes just weeks after Kaleb announced that he and a friend had bought the herd of 21 dairy cows.
In July he wrote: ‘I was too excited not to share this, so I’m posting it now. I own 21 dairy cows that are being milked locally to me. Guess I’m going back to milking in the mornings to do my part.’
It comes after Kaleb took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal that he and fiancée Taya had become parents for a second time after welcoming a baby daughter.
The farmer, who shot to fame as Jeremy Clarkson’s right hand man on the Amazon Prime series announced the news as he shared a sweet snap from the hospital.
Kaleb cuddled the newborn, who was wrapped in a white blanket, and revealed her sweet name before gushed that she was born in his beloved Chipping Norton.
The TV star, who also shares two-year old son Oscar with his partner, wrote: ‘Welcome to the world. Willa Grace Cooper. Born in CHIPPING NORTON’.
Fans and famous friends rushed to offer their congratulations with Eamonn Holmes writing: ‘Congratulations Kaleb to you and your wife’.
Meanwhile boss Jeremy Clarkson’s Hawkstone beer brand commented: ‘Congratulations! We’re drinking your cider to celebrate tonight!’.
It comes after Kaleb revealed he is undertaking an exciting new career move, as he swaps farm life for the theatre.

Last week he took to Instagram to reveal the exciting news, writing: ‘I’m braving it and leaving Chippy for a UK theatre tour!
‘I’ll be announcing my first show tomorrow morning, that’s going on sale from 10am.’
He later confirmed that his first stop would be Nottingham as he joked that the theatre was a ‘big old barn’ and said he was ‘looking forward to it’.
He penned: ‘The first available date to book tickets for my national tour is going to be in a big old barn called the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall!’
Back in April 2022, Kaleb , said he will never leave the countryside, despite having amassed a huge fan base.
Born and bred in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, a small town with a population of just 6,337, Kaleb says he never wants to leave, despite his immense success.
Speaking to The Times magazine back the, he revealed the furthest he has ever travelled from his village is London, which he had visited three times at that point, and hated, describing it as ‘f****** awful’.
And talking about going to Stow-on-the-Wold, which is 18 miles away from Chipping Norton, he said: ‘I got a nosebleed when we went to Stow.’
The prospect of travelling abroad is even less likely, as the farming expert does not currently own a passport.
He also found himself bewildered recently when he encountered a revolving door when the Clarkson’s Farm team returned to London for the Farm to Fork summit.
He had never seen a revolving door before and was so blown away by seeing one, he went round it a few times to get the full experience.
Jeremy, 63, even posted a video to Instagram showing Kaleb smiling at the revelation, saying: ‘He has never seen a revolving door before’.

Kaleb branded the experience ‘amazing’ and couldn’t believe his luck.
The moment was reminiscent of a scene in the film Elf, where the main character Buddy discovers a revolving door after moving to New York following an upbringing in the North Pole.
Fans wrote in the comments: ‘God bless Kaleb, one of the purest persons there is.’
‘We need a sitcom of just Kaleb trying new things out that blow his mind on the show it was paying for parking in the London & here it’s a revolving door.’
‘I bet if he goes through it fast enough and really gets it spinning he’ll come out the other end with a new perm.’
