I was delighted to see international rugby ref-turned-farmer, Nigel Owens, officially become a suckler farmer as his first calf hit the ground.

The Welshman bought a pedigree Hereford heifer, dubbed Hannah, who gave birth to her first calf last week.

Nigel took to Twitter before the birth, saying: “There’s only two times I’ve been nervous in my life, one was refereeing the World Cup Final and the other one was coming out all those years ago.

“But I don’t think I’ve been as nervous as today, because today down on the farm, I’m expecting the first calf to be born since I set up the Mairwen herd. I’ve never been so nervous in my life. God, I’m glad I can’t give birth.”
