Our Yorkshire Farm star Clive Owen has opened up about the tough conditions at Ravenseat Farm as they battled harsh weather during lambing season

Clive Owen, star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has confessed that it's been a "tough" time at Ravenseat Farm as they grappled with severe weather during the lambing season. The farm was struck by a terrible snowstorm, leaving no grass for their sheep to graze on. Clive remarked: "Winters are long enough without them dragging into May.

" As he ventured out to feed the sheep, Clive elaborated: "It's been kind in some respects as it's been very dry, but it's been very cold." He added: "It has been really, really hard for us, down to minus six and seven at night, but lovely days, so it's been pleasant enough to work in, but no grass." "Sheep rely on grass, so we will go and feed them," he further noted.



Later, the farmer admitted to the camera: "It's not exactly summer yet. It's been a tough lambing time, without a doubt. It's been a hard month," reports Leeds Live .

He also mentioned: "The icy air at times you can feel it coming from the East, and so it'll be nice when it's over." In the same episode, Amanda and her three children faced additional heartbreak when they found a dead lamb. "Oh no.

Look, I can see something, and it's not good," Amanda said upon spotting the dead lamb. She explained: "Sometimes you get mysteries, and sometimes you get an answer, and sometimes you don't, but that's your answer." She continued: "This poor little newborn lamb," as Clemmie chimed in: "That's sad, isn't it, mum?" "What will have happened? Can you see where she lambed? She had her lamb there, had a nice drink of water, and her newborn lamb rolled into the water," the mother-of-nine said.

"It could be good if it was still alive," Clemmie remarked, prompting the response from her mum, "Of course, it would be much better if it was still alive. It is just such a shame because it didn't have much of a life, did it?" She then told the camera: "They have to have a good understanding of life and death. You can't cloak that one away.

You can't sideline that one. You can't dwell on it. "They know that in those few moments when a lamb is born, that is a critical moment, and if they can help that process along, then good.

They also get to observe when that process fails." Our Yorkshire Farm is available to watch on My5..
