Amanda Owen opened up about the tough realities of farm life on Monday's emotional episode of Our Farm Next Door.The shepherdess was candid about the "challenging" nature of lambing season at Ravenseat Farm, where the whole family gets involved. "Everybody has a part to play at lambing time; we eat, breathe, and live sheep for about six weeks, and that is all that is going on," she shared with viewers.

Amanda described the intense workload, saying, "It is such a busy time, and whether it is feeding the sheep or taking the sheep away or even just going and having a head count to make sure everybody has got their lambs, filling up the hay rack, you name it, there is just too much to do." Despite the fatigue, Amanda and her family push through. "Some days, you'd just be so tired, but you'd just have to keep going." She also touched on the valuable lessons her children learn during this period. "It is good for the children, it is like life lessons right happening there in front of them.

For them, it is hands on, they are full on involved, there is no part of this that they don't see," she said. Amanda spoke poignantly about the harsh realities of lambing, including the losses they face: "When you're lambing a sheep, I don't know what the outcome is going to be.

Sadly, at lambing time, you do get casualties." Amanda opened up about the challenges of farm life, sharing her heartache over a recent loss.
