- The herd of pigs promises to be the highlight of the new Prime series of Clarkson’s Farm
- But low levels of animal husbandry will also be affected, including tragic piglet mortality.
The pigs seem delighted to be there, and Jeremy Clarkson is equally excited to welcome them to his farm.
Jeremy is delighted with the newcomers to Diddly Squat, who immediately run around his field after being released from their trailer, as these images show.
The clip, from the upcoming third series of Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime, shows the efforts the journalist and his assistants make to try to help the business grow.
He quickly dubbed the 10-strong herd “Piggly Squat,” and his girlfriend Lisa Hogan was left “besides herself” with cuteness overload as they searched for potatoes.
The cute creatures quickly feel at home when they are released on the farm.

They are very quick to locate the potatoes.
As excitement for the new series grows, it also emerged that Jeremy allows his beloved cow Pepper to be sent to the slaughterhouse.
He polished the animal at Clarkson’s Farm 2, after talking with a little daughter of a rancher.
He said, ‘This is my pet. Five-year-old Rosie from the farm where we bought her said this cow was her favorite.
‘She asked, “Would you look after Pepper for me?” So I said I would do it.
However, later in the series, a veterinarian discovered that Pepper was not pregnant and someone suggested they send her out for meat.
Jeremy snapped at that moment, “I’m not eating Pepper, and that’s it.”
But after changing his mind, he apparently allows Pepper to be taken to the slaughterhouse.
He comments: ‘Today it seems quite sad to me. Pepper is leaving, obviously… what do you think will become of her?
Jeremy’s girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, cries when some piglets die.
The farm fights to save the local shop against the endless bureaucracy of the town hall.

Jeremy competes with Kaleb, who was recently promoted to farm manager.
They face off with 500 acres each to see who can make the most money.
Speaking about the competition, Jeremy said: “That’s the backbone of the whole series.”
Jeremy also receives feedback about his farm shop while attending a meeting with the council.
Jeremy pulls up several crazy schemes to make money for the farm.
Jeremy and Lisa’s close bond with their newcomers also created the show’s ‘saddest moment’.
The second series focused on Jeremy’s ambitions to open a restaurant on the land.
It also appears that the local council is still on Jeremy’s case over his various businesses.
Clarkson also attempts to clear up some vacant lots, with predictable results.
