Kelvin and Liz Fletcher faced a gut-wrenching choice on their farm.
After series four of the ITV reality programme came to an end, viewers will be treated to a repeat episode of Fletcher’s Family Farm this evening.
In episode seven, available to stream on ITVX, Kelvin and Liz were faced with some tough calls, one of which left their daughter, Marnie, visibly upset.
The family chose to reunite their pet lamb, Aga, with the rest of the flock before sending two of their sheep to slaughter.
Kelvin reflected, “It’s the right thing for him, but a day we’ve all been dreading,” reports the Mirror.

As they guided Aga up to the top field, he continued, “Our Aga is more like a dog than a sheep, and we’ve all become very attached to the little guy.
“I don’t want him to go,” Marnie pleaded with her parents. Kelvin then marked Aga with a special love heart on his back before he rejoined the rest of the flock.
The former soap star remarked, “He seems reluctant to join the flock, giving Marnie a little more time to say goodbye.”
Marnie expressed her worry that her father would send Aga to the butchers for the family’s dinner, but Kelvin reassured her that he would remain part of the family.
“She’s gutted,” Kelvin confided to his wife, Liz. “She’s going to be upset, isn’t she?” Liz revealed, “We’ve had him from literally day one. The second he was born, we’ve looked after him, and it’s a success that he’s a healthy lamb, and he’s good enough and well enough to now go out in the big field.”

Kelvin observed, “Neither of us are willing to accept it just yet. He’s probably thinking, ‘I want to be back with you, Dad, back down there,’ but within a day, he’ll be happy, I hope.”
Calling out to his daughter, Kelvin said, “Marnie, come on now, darling. We’ll come and check on him later on, okay?”
“Right, darling, come here. It was a bit tough, that wasn’t it, a bit tricky,” Kelvin remarked as he embraced his daughter, who was clearly distressed.
“But listen, he’s only in this field, he’s with all his friends, just like the first day at school.

“In a couple of hours, he’ll be out there running around with all his friends, and we’ll come and check on him, and I’ll do you a deal. I promise, shake hands…. that we’ll always have him.
“I’m making you a promise, you see. Like the other lambs and the other sheep, sometimes they help feed everybody. He won’t end up on our plate. I promise you that.”
“That may not have been the most profitable decision I have made today, but family comes first,” Kelvin concluded as they returned to the farm.
Fletcher’s Family Farm will air tonight at 7.30pm and is also available to watch on ITVX.
