Amanda Owen Posts 'Lousy Day' Update, Draws Support and Rebuts 'Pretend Farmer' Claims

Her candid Instagram post doubles as a rebuttal to critics questioning her authenticity.

Overview

  • The Our Yorkshire Farm star said she had a "lousy day" on the farm and described tending to Ciara, a hand‑reared cow whose mother Margaret was not maternal.
  • She shared photos of Ciara with her children, including an image of the cow chewing clothing, prompting a wave of supportive comments from followers.
  • Owen contrasted recent book‑tour glamour with working in the rain, insisting her calloused hands prove she is not a "pretend farmer."
  • She noted a trip to Hawes auction mart with sheep and stressed grassroots farming, stockmanship and keeping supermarket shelves filled.
  • She also critiqued the farming emoji as too stereotypical and said it should reflect the range of jobs farmers do.
