Jeremy Clarkson<\/a> has revealed that he is on a ‘very steep learning curve’ after an outbreak of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) case on his farm.<\/p>\n

The Clarkson’s Farm<\/a> star on Amazon Prime video recently revealed how the infectious disease had been detected in his cattle.<\/p>\n

bTB is one of the biggest challenges facing the cattle farming industry in the UK, and all infected animals have to be put down.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X on Thursday: \u2018Bad news from Diddly Squat. We\u2019ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.\u2019<\/p>\n

Just days after the outbreak, Clarkson also revealed that one of his puppies had died<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, speaking to The Times, the 65-year-old has gone into further detail discussing how it has been ‘bloody awful’.<\/p>\n

‘The disruption\u2019s enormous, because you aren\u2019t allowed to operate as a business,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘You have to isolate them for two months. So all the barns we needed to store the grain in, we now have to convert into a cow hospital. <\/p>\n

‘We\u2019ve got another calf with pneumonia, so that needs to be housed. And we can\u2019t buy or sell a cow now because the farm officially, you know, has TB.’<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Clarkson spoke to radio presenter Peter Cardwell and said: \u2018We\u2019re now locked down and it\u2019s just dreadful, absolutely dreadful.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s only been not even 24 hours since I found out, and it occupies my mind. Well, it was occupying my mind, but I got up this morning and found one of my puppies has died. And we\u2019ve got a very sickly calf.<\/p>\n

\u2018Honestly, farming? I\u2019m not enjoying it this week.’<\/p>\n

According to the former Grand Tour presenter, the farm now has to shut for at least two months until they can do another bTB test. But, the farm shop will not be affected.<\/p>\n

This comes after Clarkson\u2019s Farm\u00a0<\/a>star Lisa Hogan revealed she survived a plane crash.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Irish model and actress<\/a>, 51, became a household name a few years ago when appearing on her partner Jeremy Clarkson<\/a>\u2019s programme Clarkson\u2019s Farm.<\/p>\n

The couple<\/a> initially met at a party through mutual friends before getting together in 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But, in his weekend newspaper column Jeremy explained how between them, the couple had \u2018walked away from three plane crashes over the years\u2019.<\/p>\n
