Kelvin Fletcher Bids Bittersweet Farewell as First Calf Sonic Goes to Slaughter on ITV's Fletcher's Family Farm

They plan to sell the meat locally to stress a closer connection to food.

Overview

  • Sunday’s episode captures Kelvin and Liz preparing Sonic, loading him onto a trailer, and saying goodbye.
  • Kelvin described the moment as “bittersweet,” said he felt “really anxious,” and called the final loading “surreal.”
  • Sonic was their first calf with tag number 001, which Kelvin said made the farewell especially difficult.
  • Fletcher said Sonic was in “fantastic condition,” a show winner that performed well at the Cheshire Show.
  • The farewell appears on Fletcher’s Family Farm, which is available to watch on ITVX.
