The Slate-of-Controversy: Our Farm Next Door's Amanda Owen
Amanda Owen, the star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has been hit with criticism over a questionable video she shared of her son, Reuben. The 21-year-old was seen handling sheep during lambing season, raising eyebrows among fans.
Known for her Instagram updates, Amanda posted a clip of Reuben assisting on their Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale, Yorkshire. In the video, Amanda encourages her son as he restrains a ewe by lying on top of it, using his leg to hold back a lamb. Some viewers found the interaction too intense, dubbing it as rough handling.
Despite the controversy, Amanda’s supporters defended the duo, arguing that such farming techniques are essential to manage difficult livestock. Many critics, however, stated their disappointment, believing Amanda could demonstrate more kindness towards the animals.
