Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper releases charity rap about disliking sheep

Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper is releasing a rap about his dislike of sheep to raise funds for a farming charity.

The track I Can’t Stand Sheep! comes out on Thursday, with all profit going to the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI),

Farming contractor Cooper, 25, known for his outspoken views on sheep, said: “Never did I think I’d be saying these words, that I’m releasing a record.

“When you listen to it, you’ll realise why I didn’t ever think it was possible – my singing voice isn’t a match for my farming skills by any stretch. I had a lot of fun recording it and I hope that people like it, but there is also a serious side to it.

“As a community, farmers are only too aware of how pressurised the industry has become, the farming way of life can feel lonely at times.

“I wanted to make sure that if people are struggling they have somewhere to reach out to.”

Set to the tune of The Floral Dance, the single also includes the RABI’s helpline number to raise awareness for the charity, which provides financial, emotional and practical help.
