Jeremy Clarkson renames his trans pig – and makes hilarious new decision on its future
TELLY farm favourite Jeremy Clarkson has made the rasher decision not to send his tiny transgender pig to the slaughterhouse. While most of the Sun columnist's swine are dispatched to be turned into bacon, sausages and pork chops, he has decided to save diminutive Richard Ham — named after his ex-Top Gear and Grand Tour co-host Richard Hammond. 2 Jeremy Clarkson has made the decision not to send his tiny transgender pig to the slaughterhouse Credit: Getty 2 Jeremy has decided to name the diminutive pig Richard Ham Credit: Amazon But in scenes from the latest episode of Clarkson's Farm — streaming tomorrow — viewers discover the pint-sized pig is not being kept purely out of affection.

Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper horrified after major 'problem' on farm
Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper, the local vet and Jeremy's partner Lisa Hogan were all left in disbelief as some pigs caused chaos down on Amazon Prime's Clarkson's Farm Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper were left stunned when animal antics took an unexpected turn on Clarkson's Farm. The duo are back on screens as season four of Amazon Prime's wildly popular farming documentary series airs. Ever since former Top Gear star Jeremy, 65, decamped to Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, fans have been gripped by the trials and troubles the star has faced as he tried to earn a profit from his farm which is all documented in his hit series. He is aided by farm hand Kaleb, 26 - who often proves he is more informed on farming practices than his motor head boss. In a new episode, the boys were shocked to see one of the pigs on their farm start misbehaving as it entered maturity. The swine in question, named Richard Ham in honour of Jeremy's close friend Richard Hammond, 55, was spotted attempting to mount female pigs in his pen. As Richard Ham was penned in with his siblings, it was decided by Jeremy, Kaleb and local vet Dilwyn Evans to isolate him to keep him away from the female pigs. However, the trio learned that switching Richard Ham into a pen full of other male pigs could come with another set of problems. Jeremy explained to viewers: "So here's the situation, Richard Ham is now old enough to start having a go on his sisters, so we have to put him back in the boy pen. But Dilwyn says if we put him straight in the boy pen, they will beat him up, they might even kill him." Instead, it was decided to set Richard Ham a companion and pen them in together on their own. After a week of the pair living together, they were then to be reintroduced into the wider group. Jeremy observed: "So now Ham is in there, let's just see." While Kaleb offered a hopeful message, saying simply: "He will be fine". However, and unexpected event took place when Richard Ham was released into the larger pen - as a larger male piglet attempted to mount him. Reacting to the scenes, Kaleb could only exclaim: "Problem!" While Jeremy and his partner Lisa Hogan watched on in stunned amazement. Sounding alarmed, Jeremy blurted: "It's his brother! And they are supposed to be in there to make Richard safe!" While Kaleb confessed: "Oh my god... I have never seen that before." Jeremy has become an unexpected champion of British farming since his show began in 2021 with his show highlighting the troubles and challenges that many farmers experience while trying to make a living from the land. Discussing some of the trials in his recent book, Home To Roost, he explained how selling oats at an agreeable price is easier than livestock. He reported: "[Consumers would] rather have Cheerios for breakfast... [but] if I try to sell you one of my goats for anything like what it cost to raise, you'll say, 'How much?' And go to McDonald's instead." He also explained how unexpected factors can deeply impact farming - noting that the cost of fertilisers soared from £40,000 to £110,000 for him due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He admitted that he was struggling to see a way to make his farming business profitable and hinted he could quit. He said in the book, per Farmers Guide:"So I've tried farming conventionally and it didn't work. I've tried diversifying and that didn't really work either. And I've tried with sheep and pigs and cow,s and that has been a bit of a disaster as well. So I arrived at a crossroads. And was not sure which way to turn."
