Our Yorkshire Farm's Amanda Owen takes drastic action as goat eats quadbike keys

is back with another bunch of unfortunate mishaps in her - and one involves a goat. The glamorous farmer, also known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, struggles to stop her goats eating everything they find. However, when one swallows her quad bike keys.

“We’ve got these three goats that go everywhere and literally no rules apply,” sighs Amanda. “They go through the house, on the roof, in the trailer, in the car… it’s access all areas with the goats. They’ve got a real liking for chewing things and they have an addiction to key fobs, one of them actually ate the quad bike keys!” However, the moment of horror actually turned to one of triumph as young Sidney - aged 13 - came to the rescue. “It became a great learning curve,” says Amanda. “Sidney replaced the whole ignition barrel on the quad bike. I’m so proud of him.”

Amanda and Clive first shot to fame when they appeared in the 2011 documentary The Dales. More TV appearances followed and they debuted their own show Our Yorkshire Farm on Channel 5 in 2018.

In 2022, the pair shockingly announced the end of their 22-year marriage. Despite the divorce, Amanda and Clive, 69, continue to make TV shows together and co-parent their children Raven, 24, Reuben, 20, Miles, 18, Edith, 16, Violet, 14, Sidney, 13, Annas, 11, and nine-year-olds Clemmie and Nancy.

Watching the show, viewers will be struck by Amanda and Clive’s positive working relationship after their divorce. However, Amanda admits they did nearly fall out while filming the new series.

“Clive starts trying to tell me how to use the internet,” says Amanda. “That was definitely tear-jerking in a painful manner, in that mansplaining way. I definitely felt the tears coming – then the red mist!”

Luckily, Amanda can saddle up her horse and gallop off along the windswept moors when it all gets too much. However, she admits it never works out how she hopes. “I absolutely love going out on my horse,” she says. “But I go in my wellies with bits of string holding the girth together and everything mismatched and somewhere en route I’ll either spot a sheep where it’s not supposed to be or a blocked drain and all of a sudden what was possibly a nice, relaxing time becomes stress!”

Amanda reckons their latest TV outing is their best yet because it has so many other elements of popular TV series. “You get to see the rough with the smooth on the farm,” laughs Amanda. “It’s like one of these home renovation projects, but Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen I ain’t! It’s got a Time Team archaeological element, and a historical Who Do You Think You Are? history element too. It’s a bit Countryfile and a bit The Osbournes !”

Making a TV show is serious business but with her animals, her children and her ex all playing a role, Amanda admits things never go to plan. “What makes it all relatable is that things don’t always go right,” she says.

“Any sort of itinerary just goes to the wall. No matter how many things you knock off the list, it always gets longer.”

. “We’re just getting the essentials like a roof, windows and a door,” explains Amanda.

Now the structure is sound, Amanda has realised she doesn’t have a vision beyond making it habitable. “All of a sudden the emphasis changes to actually people asking me things, which is a problem because I don’t know,” she admits.
