Kaleb Cooper is currently hard at work on the farm after sharing regular updates of the long hours he's undertaking to make sure crops are taken out of the ground correctly.
However, in a more downbeat update last week, Cooper was emotional as he shared that a number of his dairy cows had contracted bovine TB.
It's no secret how devastating the disease can have on farmers once it infiltrates cattle, as documented by Cooper and Jeremy Clarkson in the second season of Clarkson's Farm.
But now, Cooper is looking to make amends and soften the blow of losing his cattle to TB.
In his latest Instagram update, Cooper had a request for his followers as he recorded himself inside a barn.
Speaking to the camera, Cooper said: "I'm in need of a working collie pup so I can train it without the cattle and stuff like that after this morning's outing."
Kaleb struggled to hold back tears when he first shared his cattle had been struck with TB

"I'll buy a few more. I need some," the Clarkson's Farm star admitted.
He signed off the plea by conceding: "Got a lot of fodder this year. A lot of fodder."
Cooper seemed to be in high spirits which was a marked change from his tearful demeanour when he first delivered the news about his cattle last week.

When he first shared the horrible news, a tearful Cooper revealed: "Now, today's a bit stressful.
"I've just found out the place where I have my dairy cows, the 21 dairy cows that I bought, has got three reactors to TB.
"I don't really know how to describe the emotion," he said, struggling to maintain his composure throughout.
He soldiered through: "I mean, I know it's not all my cows and I don't know how he feels but... it's hard.
"It's not good. Three reactors so therefore we've got to test again in two month's time.
