Pet Sheep
Jeremy Clarkson brought a furry black and white lamb to the pub. Clarkson has a farm that he named Diddly Squat Farm where he has live animals and a flock of sheep.
Clarkson's Farm
Clarkson’s Farm aka Diddly Squat Farm was formerly part of the Sarsden estate in Oxfordshire. Jeremy Clarkson bought about a thousand acres (4 km2) in 2008 including Curdle Hill Farm. The fields were mostly arable, growing a rotation of barley, rapeseed and wheat. These were farmed on a contract basis by a local villager called Howard but he retired in 2019. Clarkson then decided to try farming the land himself.
The farm was renamed “Diddly Squat” by Clarkson to indicate its lack of productivity, as diddly squat is slang for “the least amount”, “anything”, or “nothing”. His work was documented in the TV documentary series Clarkson’s Farm (2021) where Jeremy Clarkson as he attempts to run a farm in the countryside. With no previous farming experience, Jeremy contends with the worst farming weather in decades, disobedient animals, unresponsive crops, and an unexpected pandemic.
After a few seasons, Jeremy Clarkson recruited Kaleb Cooper, who became a fan favorite on the series.
