SAD NEWS: Kelvin Fletcher and wife Liz Break Down In Tears as they announce heartbreaking farm news.K

Kelvin and Liz Fletcher were delivered heartbreaking news in the upcoming episode of Fletcher’s Family Farm, which will air on Sunday. The former Emmerdale star was told by a vet that one of their beloved cows had suffered a miscarriage.

It was a bittersweet moment for the couple, as they also discovered that their other cow was pregnant.

Before the vet arrived, Liz admitted she felt nervous. She said, “We’ve got the cows in. We’re going to pregnancy test them.

“It’s a little bit nerve-racking, whether it’s worked, whether he’s done his job, or whether he’s just been rolling around the field having a nice time. I’m hoping he’s been busy.”

First up to be scanned was Cherry, and as the vet got to work, he confirmed, “It’s a bit nerve-racking. Yeah. So I’m just scanning around both sides of a uterus, and there is a calf in there.”

“Yes,” Kelvin beamed as the vet continued, “So you’ve got one pregnancy there, all looking healthy. That’s a healthy calf there.”

Turning to her kids, Liz said, “She is having a baby.”

The vet told them the calf was about seven weeks old and measured at three centimeters.

Kelvin added, “Have a quick look there, guys, what a special moment to share with your kids.”

However, when it was Ruby’s turn to be scanned, the vet delivered some bad news to the farmers.

“Okay, not quite so good news now, Kelvin, I’m afraid,” the vet explained. “Strangely, she actually seems to have a uterus infection, which is most likely, she has been pregnant and she had a miscarriage.”

“Oh no,” Liz said emotionally as the vet went on, “So we’re gonna have to give her an injection to clear that out. The longer you leave it untreated, the higher the chance of them not getting in calf, basically.”

Kelvin shared, “I mean, it’s disappointing. So, yeah, it’s a shame. The main priority is to get it sorted and treated. So we’re gonna give her an injection now that’ll treat her.

“There is some good news. The miscarriage does prove that Ruby is fertile, and once recovered, we’ll be able to run her with a bull.”

Fletcher’s Family Farm airs on Sunday at 11.30am on ITV.
