Overview

  • Lisa Hogan announced on Instagram that one of the litter, Mr Grey, was found dead on the farm, prompting a revised care plan for the surviving pups.
  • Jeremy Clarkson confirmed a bovine TB infection after a routine test identified a failed cow, leading to an immediate livestock lockdown.
  • UK regulations require biannual TB testing, so no cattle movements are permitted until the next test in two months.
  • The farm shop will stay open during the lockdown, as only bovine operations are affected by the quarantine.
  • The couple is also tending to a sickly calf and coping with the emotional toll of their recent animal health setbacks.
