Some have pulled Kaleb up on his technique
Farmers have noticed an apparent ‘mistake’ Kaleb Cooper keeps making on Diddly Squat Farm.
The second series of Clarkson’s Farm started streaming on February 10, and sees Clarkson return to his 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds alongside Lisa, Kaleb, Charlie and Gerald.
It has been viewed by more than 4 million people and is easily Amazon’s highest-rated show, breaking a viewing records for the streamer.
Kaleb has rapidly become a fan-favourite thanks to his no-nonsense reaction to some of Jeremy’s farming decisions and techniques, and frustrations at cleaning up after the Grand Tour host.
He recently revealed that he regularly puts in 117 hour weeks on the farm.
But some fellow farmers think they’ve spotted an error Kaleb keeps making during his work.
Cattle farmers have criticised the way he puts ear tags on the cows.
It is a legal requirement to attach two ear tags to each ear of every calf when they are born – to help identify each animal in the event of an outbreak of disease, for example.
The reason why both ears need to be tagged is simply so that if one is tipped off there is still a spare tag on the other ear.
Writing on a farming forum, one person said: “Like many I am really enjoying Jeremy Clarkson’s new series and taking my time to make it last lol.
“However am I the only one noticing #kalebcooper putting the calves ear tags in the wrong way round.”
“Not [the] only one. I noticed that too,” another added.
A third person also wrote: “I said to the other half he put the tags in backwards.”
But others argued there’s “no right and wrong way” to attach ear tags, and some suggested Kaleb’s technique was actually better as it makes it easier to see where you’re attaching.
One person wrote: “At least they are in the ear, not missing or ripped. Some folks have too much time.”
The Farming Advisory Service says: “When using plastic tags the female part should be on the inside/front of the ear with the male part entering from the back of the ear.”
