Amanda Owen, the beloved Yorkshire Shepherdess from Channel 5's hit series Our Yorkshire Farm, has shared devastating news about the future of her iconic Ravenseat farm that will leave fans heartbroken.
In an emotional revelation, the mother-of-nine confirmed that the farm's famous Swaledale sheep flock is facing significant reduction due to overwhelming personal and professional challenges.

"We've had to make some really difficult decisions about the flock," Amanda confessed in her latest interview. "The reality is that things have to change here at Ravenseat."
Farming Challenges Take Their Toll
The 2,000-acre Yorkshire Dales farm has become synonymous with the Owen family's traditional farming methods, but recent events have forced a major rethink of their operations:
- Significant reduction in their prized Swaledale sheep numbers
- Ongoing personal challenges following separation from Clive

- Increasing pressures facing traditional farming communities
"It's been an incredibly tough period," Amanda revealed, her voice filled with emotion. "The flock reduction is necessary but heartbreaking after everything we've built here."
