Television favourite Amanda Owen has sent a wave of delight through her fanbase by announcing the safe arrival of a new addition to her renowned Yorkshire farm.
A Joyous New Arrival for the Yorkshire Shepherdess
The star of Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm and the more recent Channel 4 series Our Farm Next Door took to Instagram this week to share the happy news. She posted heartwarming images of a newborn calf, confirming the successful delivery.
"A good result. A lovely healthy strong calf safely delivered and mother cow all well and good," Amanda wrote in her caption. She also noted a potential practical challenge, explaining: "Potentially there could be a feeding issue with the calf being tall and the cows udder being low slung. It happens with age and pregnancy."
Fans Rush to Celebrate the News
The update was met with an outpouring of joy from her 545,000 Instagram followers. The comments section quickly filled with warm messages celebrating the new life on the 2,000-acre Ravenseat Farm in Yorkshire.
One enthusiastic fan simply declared, "Welcome to the world," while another gushed, "Beautiful baby!" A third chimed in with, "Ahhhhh! Many congratulations Mother Cow!!" praising Amanda's shepherding skills, someone else added, "Well done delivered safely from your expert hands remarkable."
Life on the Farm Continues
Amanda, a mother-of-nine, first found fame in 2018 when Our Yorkshire Farm introduced viewers to her life with then-husband Clive and their children: Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Anna, Clemmy, and Nancy. The couple separated in 2022.
This year, she returned to screens with Our Farm Next Door on Channel 4, which documents the family's efforts to restore a new derelict farmhouse. The calf's arrival comes shortly after Amanda sparked fan interest by posting a reunion photo with ex-husband Clive, noting their improved relationship and shared focus on family and farm work.
She expressed gratitude for being "surrounded by a team of spirited and enthusiastic youngsters who have drive and derring do," adding that "all of them are fearless in their determination to succeed." This latest farm birth is another chapter in the ongoing story of life at Ravenseat, much loved by viewers across the UK.
