Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen has announced a sad loss at the farm.
The shepherdess and mother of nine revealed on Twitter that one of her cherished sheepdogs has passed away aged 15.
Amanda, 43, emotionally posted: “It’s a week since we lost Bill sheepdog. He’s gone away but not forgotten, he lives on forever in our hearts.
“Thank you to super talented artist @MeganArtUK for this gorgeous portrait of him.”
Amanda also posted a lovely sketch of the black and white dog which fans were quick to praise calling the picture “stunning” and “fantastic”.
Meanwhile, more fans were baffled on Tuesday evening as they received a rather odd warning ahead of the programme.
Amanda and her husband Clive were facing problems on the farm as a blizzard hit, leaving the hill farm and farmhouse surrounded by snowdrifts.
It meant their sheep were in danger – including some pregnant members of the flock – after they got lost while out on the moors.
Thankfully, Amanda managed to locate four of the missing sheep in the field, blinded by the snow – and decided to feed them hay where they stood.
And to make things more bizarre, the Channel 5 announcer warned viewers that this segment of the programme contained “imitative behaviours” which were not safe to copy at home.
Turning to Twitter, one confused fan wrote: “#OurYorkshireFarm waiting to see what the warning of imitative behaviour at the start is for? Thin ice? Any ideas?”
Another viewer giggled as they quipped: “The little ones doing pouting selfies… So the social media pouters can’t be offended… coz they were warned about being imitated!”
Another fan was left fuming at the warning, as they dismissed it as “woke idiocy”.
They tweeted: “Absolute woke idiocy warnings imitative behaviour. What b******s.”
But the reason for the warning soon became clear, as the Owen family’s favourite swimming spot had completely frozen over.
Taking advantage of the winter weather, the family decided to make impromptu ice skates and turn the former lake into an ice rink – which could prove dangerous if the ice broke and someone fell into the freezing water below.
The episode was almost entirely filmed by the Owen family, as it was recorded when winter Covid-19 lockdowns were still in place across the UK.
