Our Farm Next Door’s Amanda Owen has faced questions over a ‘disgusting and disturbing’ video of her son Reuben that she posted on Instagram. 

The 50-year-old shepherdess, who is best known for starring in C4’s Our Yorkshire Farm, loves to keep fans up to date with what she gets up to on social media. 

Amanda took to her page on Monday to share a clip of her son Reuben, 21, helping her out on the Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale, Yorkshire. 

In the clip, mum-of-nine Amanda can be heard saying: ‘Well this is what you’ve been getting up to in lambing fields,’ while Reuben is laying across an ewe and lamb. 

He then picks up the ewe by the horns and she tells her son: ‘You did great there! And you got the lamb at the same time.’ 

Amanda captioned the post: ‘Caught ewe. Reuben downs tools and springs into action.

Our Farm Next Door’s Amanda Owen faces questions over ‘disgusting and disturbing’ video of son Reuben Owen as fans rage ‘I thought you were better than that!’

The 50-year-old shepherdess (pictured with her son Reuben) who is best known for starring in C4’s Our Yorkshire Farm, loves to keep fans up to date with what she gets up to on social media.

Amanda, ex-husband Clive and their nine kids returned to our screens for the new series of Our Farm Next Door recently 

‘*Everyone lends a hand, there is no one exempt from lambing time tasks*.’

Many were left confused about the post and had no idea what was going on. 

They shared their worry in the comments section. 

One asked: ‘Could you explain what’s happening?’

‘Would be really useful to explain what is happening here.’ 

‘Why are you treating the ewe like that? Absolutely disgusting and I’m disappointed as I thought you were better than that.’ 

‘I didn’t like how you held the sheep! Absolutely disturbing! Animals are treated with respect and not like trash!’

Others rushed to defend the mother son duo.

‘Please ignore comments from any animal activist… if we all listened to them nothing would ever get done and we’d all be starving by now . Carry on farming.’

‘Kindness is a gift, if you cannot say anything nice please say nothing at all.’

On Tuesday morning she took to her account once again to share some snaps promoting the next episode of Our Farm Next Door.

She captioned the post: ‘Sometimes there’s [poo emoji] to deal with and it’s just a case of rolling up your sleeves and getting on with it.

We need to see movement from our lamb and you lovely folk to the tv, no ifs or buts

‘So get yourself to a screen TONIGHT. Tune into the latest episode of Our Farm Next Door.’ 

And many rushed to share their excitement over the new instalment.  

One said: ‘Love the new series Amanda x can’t wait for tonight’s episode.’

‘Nice pH๏τos of children caring for the lamb.’

‘I’ll be watching.’

Our Farm Next Door, which premiered last year on More4, follows Amanda and ex-husband Clive, 69, renovating an abandoned farmhouse alongside their kids Raven, 23, Reuben, 21, Miles, 18, Edith, 16, Violet, 14, Sidney, 13, Annas, 11, Clemmy, nine, and Nancy, eight.

Earlier this month Amanda said she is ‘suffering sleepless nights’ after facing ‘daunting and difficult decisions’ in the show. 

The roof of the derelict property had no slates on it at all, leaving the Owen family starting from scratch to make sure it was warm and dry.

Their builder Richard needed Amanda to decide which slates she wanted, asking, ’15 or 16 inch wide?’ – and pointing to one , saying: ‘What we are thinking is this but we need a decision.’

She appeared completely overwhelmed by indecision, replying: ‘Oh no, is it up to me?’ 

Explaining her decision-making paralysis, she said: ‘Trying to get everything all joined up is so difficult. I never realised there was so much planning going into this.

‘Richard is brilliant but Richard still has questions that need answering and it’s trying to keep everyone happy.

‘It’s still quite daunting and it still gives me quite a few sleepless nights.’

The builder admitted it was ‘quite hard’ to put the ‘big, heavy slates’ on the precarious farmhouse, known as Anty John’s and near the Owen family’s Ravenseat Farm.

Amanda and Owen split in 2022 after 22 years of marriage.
